i listened to your song before steve or anyone else responded, and really didn't think a whole ton of it. not terrible, not earth-shattering... pretty much my favorite thing about it was that i was hearing the big black coming through in a few spots. really, for that, i could just listen to big black. mashups aren't anything i get particularly into.

that being said, i am meh on your mashup, but sincerely impressed with how you've handled the subsequent pile-on.

werd!

thanks.

i knew when i posted here that the likely reaction would be, at best, meh. just like i knew when i posted on a nine inch nails board that i frequent that the likely reaction would not be meh.

neither reaction changes anything in my real life. my mortgage is still too high and my studio is still a tin can with a string attached in comparison to electrical. onslaughts on message boards aren't anything to sweat. so why shouldn't i follow dalton from roadhouse's advice and be nice.

hench. performs behind chickenwire.

My thoughts exactly.

Steve says this guy sucks = green light to behave like a total dick to him.

Way to go electrical.com sheep.

Dignity, anyone?

Hey, MrFood! Remember this? Take the time to read through it again - and hang your head in shame.

It is laughable for you to categorize the members of this forum as sycophants. I think perhaps the responses in this thread have been unnecessarily harsh, but I doubt that this is because Steve responded first. The original poster seems to be taking the criticism well, so I don't see what difference it makes. Do carry on acting like a douche, though; your schtick never gets old

In any case, mash-ups are unequivocally irritating to me, and this one is made more irritating by the Nine Inch Nails content. I don't think hench should be dragged across hot coals or anything, this just isn't the sort of thing I see any worth in. I don't really think any of the "cute" mash-up titles are funny, either.

Mash-ups are cheesy, but I don't understand the vitriol. Perhaps Steve could explain it to me...

And there's also this Mr.Food! Your use of this forum to slag off my wife.

As for the 'mash-up': It's not very good.

I'm all for hurting other people's feelings but I like to let someone else do it first. For some reason, it seems more humane to let someone else do it first because I tend to flip on people. If someone sets the tone more calmly, I'll follow suit in the same manner because me telling someone they're a fucking moron after someone else has the couth to just say they don't like it would make me seem like a dick.

You're weird. And not in a good way.

Wimps, all of you. Oh, stop being mean, you will hurt his FEELINGS...bah!
If the worst thing that has happened to this dude this week was a few people called him a douche, he's doing allright. He'll survive somehow, trust me.
You understand that he posted a NINE INCH NAILS mash up for everyone to 'check out', right?
I have to guess that dude knows exactally the sort of reaction that will get here, and is enjoying it....if a Pinata is hanging in front of me, I hit it....and I don't worry about it's feelings, as that's what it's there for.
Plus, even if dude seriously posted this and actually thought everyone would love it....if there's anything on earth worth unloading on in this day and age it's a fucking NINE INCH NAILS mash up.
By the way, I didn't say a word about his original stuff which isn't too bad. I'm not a complete asshole, after all.

Jesus Christ! Leave the poor guy alone. If you don't like it, so be it, you don't have to fucking bash and ridicule him. I don't know why people act like this on the internet... I'm sure none of you act like this in the real world, but whatever.

Wow, my words look bad edited and mixed up with yours- that is not what I was trying to say at all, Mr. Food. I'm quite positive that the end result would have been the same, either way.
It was just a curious thought - it wasn't meant to offend.
