The forum replies are gold! That jackass singer with the poodle hair is awful.

what is the name of the link without the ****?

It's another word for poop.

Yes, they are one-trick ponies. However, their one trick puts them ahead of 90% of the bands that have surfaced in the last five years.

They don't have nearly the talent or versatility of alot of the great rock bands of old, but they do beat: all rappers; the incoherent dry heavers that often call themselves metal these days; The Darkness; and Limp Biskit.

If by "surfaced" you mean "tripe forced down the throats of the masses by MTV and Clear Channel," then I wholeheartedly agree.

On second thought, I rescind my agreement and say that their "one trick" puts them at the same level as the 90% that have "surfaced."

their one trick is the same one that so many bands out there have run right into the ground. Find a hit song and then make every single single after that sound exactly the same. They're Creed with less talent.

Is that possible? Can you have negative talent?

After web, just type in s h i t (without the spaces of coures).

That's hilarious because the music sounds EXACTLY the same.

Anyone heard Dave Grohl singing With Arms Wide Open on Craig Kilborn a few years back? It was a thing of genius.

Some of you are too dumb to realize that your brain can't process both strands of music at the same time, therfore you can't tell the difference. This is a stupid illusion that they took two songs played on the same music time and imposed them toghether.

The juxtaposition of elitism and stupidity. The irony is rich.

If you're really convinced the brain can't process both "strands" at the same time, slap on a pair of headphones and listen to them one ear at a time. Notice how the music you hear with your left ear sounds nearly identical to that heard by your right.

This statement is absolutely false. It totally depends on the person. Many people can perform this action. Hell, singers that play an instrument do it on a regular basis. Also, bands that have instruments that play in different time signatures during the same passages of music are performing this very operation. Yes, you may be right in saying that the majority of people are hearing only one song at a time, many people hear otherwise. It's false to make an absolute assertion such as you have.

I edidted this becasue I was not doing a good job of explaining this. There is an article out there that explains these song overlays and people posting them like in this case. When I find the link, I will post it, but this is an illusion that people don't realize that your brain can't process unless it switches back and forth between one song and the other (this is where it depends on the person and how fast their brain can do this), regardless if you use a good pair of headphones, speakers, or hear it live.

Dude, you should stop while you're way the hell behind.

First of all, the songs don't have to be played at the same time to figure out that they sound exactly-the-freaking same. When I first heard the song as "New Mix Music" or whatever I said "uh, that song's been out for at least a year." Turns out, it was a "different" song. Everything other than the words is the same -- even the pacing of the delivery.

Secondly, anyone who's ever played in a band can "process both strands of music at the same time." As a matter of fact, I'm pretty sure anyone who can walk and chew gum at the same time can pull off this miracle. Ever notice that the guitar, bass, keyboard and drums all sound different? Then even you're capable of this Herculean feat of musical wonder.

Except not, I was able to easily distinguish between both songs.

The only thing done to the songs was that Someday was I think changed in pitch from A to B and and How you remind me was slowed by 1/2% and some of the intro was cut on one of the songs, but otherwise nothing was done to either song, they are just that damn similar (i.e. the same damn song).

Ahh, the infamous Conel Jackass shows his face again....

Actually, it has to deal with the same concept of walking and chewing gum. See you can say you can walk and chew gum, i.e walking with a piece of gum in your mouth. But you really can't "walk and chew gum". You cannot physically take a step at the same time you are chewing, because you cannot do two things at the same time. While you think you can, it's a scientific fact you can't.

Same with listening to two complete songs at the same time. You think you can, but you really can't.

You've gotta be kidding me. This has to be the most asinine remark I've ever read.

Tell you what, mts, you keep right on educating the world on how stupid you are and I'll let the jackass comment slide. Deal?

It's a scientific fact that you're a moron. I'm singing "With ARMS wide OPEN" right now, typing this message, chewing gum and thinking how sad it must be to you. I must be a veritable genius.

Best thread on the E board ever!

Probably are. But guarantee that you are not completing more than one task at a time because your body's motor control won't let you.

We're still on pins and needles waiting for that link, by the way.

Well, like I said, as soon as I find it I will post it.

And you got me, I like Nickleback. Actually, I agree with the comparason here, they used the same time and chords here, proving they are not a complex and sucky band. But, I still support my argument fully that your brain cannot process these two songs at the same time.

mts is right! I just tried walking and chewing my gum at the same time while walking to the break room, and it indeed made me fall down, bang my head on a desk, and choke on my gum! I will no longer deny that Nickleback writes completely unique songs!

cmon mts. you can't possibly be serious. please tell me your joking.

Nope, your brain cannot process the two songs simiultaniously. While the switching back and forth may be milliseconds in difference, it can't happen simultaniously, thus creating the illusion that you are able to listen to the songs at the same time. Some people can do it faster than others, some can't do it at all.

I can't find the article, so I guess I will have to retract my statement as there being one. I just looked for an hour on the internet and all I get is **** on relaxing the throat. I'm not looking anymore.

Then how the hell can people sing and play an instrument at the same time? Obviously they are doing two things at once (you know they don't actually stop playing the instrument when they open their mouths, the continue playing and moving their arm).

What about that scenario where you pat your head and rub your stomache, on top of being able to do it myself, I've seen many others be able to do it.

Mts, just because you lack to brain function to be able to do more than one thing at a time doesn't mean others are not able to do it.

Guys, I think mts is probably technically correct, I think he was just kinda overstating for sake of correctness. No need to completely rip a fellow Ag. I am in total agreement that people can listen to two things at the same time, believe me! I'm just saying that at an extremely fundamental level, mts might be correct. I don't know, and honestly if it's milliseconds like you said, than that is beyond reasonable in my book. Milliseconds = technically not being able to hear two things at once, but for all intents and purposes you can. I definitely think you can listen to two things at once, though I also absolutely think it varies by individual, like most things of this nature.

Thank you echos. You see what I am saying while everyone else does not. The actual variance depends on the individual. For the majority of people, it is more than miliseconds, it's litterally seconds, and they can't distinguish between the two.

Thanks for the voice of reason, Echoes. mts, my apologies if any of my remarks were harsh.
