Stop trying to change the subject, piss ants. You know exactly what I mean, so fuck off and fuck you.

I don't want to argue much on this point, as SY is one of my fav bands and have been for a long time, however i have to disagree to certain degree in regards to the vocals and lyrics departments especially with the songs on Rather Ripped. The vocals sound very good, with the harmonizing and such evident especially on the Kim songs where she hasn't sounded much better in recent years however in a live setting its been very hit and miss in the vocal department, but that can be said with almost any band live. Lyrically, i think Rather Ripped is one of their weakest moments, like the lyrics in "Sleepin' Around" and "What A Waste" take the prize for "...huh? what? i don't get it what the heck does that mean?..."
and about changing the subject, how does anything you said reference Guitar Duos?
No need to curse us out...
I still think you're one of the good posters on this board.
