The Shred Room or The In-Betweeners Club

I'm here. if somewhat absentmindedly.

I never get bored really although my current mood is sort of making me a bit absent minded as well.

mm... I won't get that bored. Probably going to finish reading Scoop and maybe note some of the Aeneid, because I really need to not balls up this year's fun tests.

It's odd because it's not like I lack confidence or anything.

It all seems random and emotionally-driven. I have the ultimate drive to find something to accomplish, but at the same time I can't find motivation to do ANYTHING. It's annoying.

This is the only forum I visit.

Yeah, I can't even listen to music tonight either. Maybe I'll just take it easy tonight and sleep on it.

I don't know. I'm going to actually push myself to get off here now though. Be back later.

I have the same issue, June.

Although I did go and see Hawkwind with a friend of mine on Sunday and he likes early Floyd.  He's not really a progger though.  He does like The Enid as well.

I'm on 2 other forums but I've not really been active at either recently.

I  have an account over at Dreamtheaterforums.org. I lasted about 4 weeks, and left entirely, because the fanboyism just killed my spirit   I'm on Classic Rock (crf2.com) but I've lost a lot of interest in that one: too much KISS and Radiohead talk these days (not to mention a bunch of useless polls like "avril lavigne or jimi hendrix". Also VN1, which is a little lame (sorry Ron... lots of fanboyism going on there, myself included), but I've grown friendly with a lot of people from there, then there's music-talk, but there's a lot of kids there and it's nearly dead anyway.   That's why I've been hoping to find a folk forum, but so far, nothing...   I like being on a few forums though, gives me a chance to discover a lot of new stuff.

How the hell do Avril Lavigne discussions get on a Classic Rock forum board?
And yes, I'm sick of "OMG JIMI HENDRIX" and this is coming from me as a guitar player.
In general I just hate fanboyism really.
I understand what you mean about going on several forum boards.
I go on other forum boards when I want to talk strictly musician stuff, or guitar related stuff, because obviously PA is hardly the best place for those two topics (no offense to the people here, but sometimes I feel some of the discussion is pretty shallow due to the lack of people on here being musicians and actually properly understanding music).

And yes, I guess I'm not keen on Hendrix, Page, Clapton etc anymore, because it's true to some extent, as your abilities on your instrument improve, your taste changes and you want something deeper and more challenging to listen to (like Holdsworth for example).
