Here is a blurb regarding Astra from some another site:
 
 
And a link to their MySpace page.  http://www.myspace.com/astrasound
 
The RIO shredders should probably stay away, but those Shredders into the Black Sabbath/Deep Purple plus psyche area of the world might really enjoy them.

The posts that I have read from him seem to all say that bands should not be referenced to other bands.  That they should be unique.  Or that they are unique.  etc....  Granted, my eyes kind of gloss over when I start reading his posts.

No, I haven't... And what does Moshkito (the greatest, most appropriate screen name everLOL) have to do with that?

Raff, Have you heard Astra's The Weirding?  I know moshkito won't appreciate this, but they really remind me of Paranoid-era Black Sabbath.  It is probably just me since I tend to make weird connections, but I think that Sabbath fans might really like this one.

I'd personally include the "Return To Forever = Dream Theater" thread into this day's collection of weird topics.

He joined in July 2008, if he hasn't bothered to look at the pages for Deadwing and FOABP or do a single search for PT since then, that is his fault and I don't think he counts as a newbie anymore.

And I am reasonably sure he wasn't being entirely serious anyway: those links to his band at the bottom makes me think it was a self-promotion post that he was attempting to mask with a post, but since he only put a second of thought into it it ended up silly.
I'd say that 16 posts does make him a newbie.  I would suspect that he probably hasn't been here since he originally posted in July 2008, but I ain't going to waste my time to prove otherwise.  Trust me when I say that people making useless threads without using the search function pisses me off more than anyone else here on the forums.  It still doesn't make it right to behave like a****les.

I see original threads all the time (and strive to make my own).

But that's not my point. Discovering Halo and being excited about it (and even telling others in a forum you discovered it) is one thing, but starting a new thread in a video game forum to tell others they should check out Halo is going to garner you no small amount of ridicule.

But you're right that it doesn't mean we need to be rude.

LOLLOLLOL

I want to post something so bad, but I don't want to be the jerk that does. LOL




I posted, but I was just being a smarta*s LOL
It is funny, but just remember that us collabs are suppose to behave a certain way within the forums and not behave like idiots to newbies.  And senior members who have any interest in becoming collabs should probably pay heed as well. 


I actually reported the thread. I don't like to see people ridiculed in public like that - it would certainly not make me happy if it happened to me. Though I may find the whole situation funny, I dislike cruelty in any form.

It's like going into a video game forum and saying, "Gee everyone- have you heard of Halo? It's great!"


I agree completely.

I'm trying to imagine someone doing it.

"Yeah, those little Grunts sure are pretty funny." LOL
