Hi all. What do you think about the music scene here? I'm not talking about bands from outside the UAE who come to perform here (Because if I was, this post would be more of a rant). I'm talking about (good) bands that have started in Dubai and are still gigging here. I'm asking this mostly because ...

There has always been a pretty good music scene in the UAE albeit underground mostly. There are great bands playing in many venues across the country, mostly cover bands, but still. The Music Room is now running Rock Nation which is actively trying to give local bands a chance to showcase their tal...

Damn

Well thanks anyway.

It's an acquired taste...actually, more of a superior taste. *prepares flameshield*

Come at me bro.

1- He's a republican, no one takes those seriously anymore 2- Except Fox News, and no one takes them seriously anymore 3- Except for republicans...refer to my first point. Personally I'm against any type of tax funding (especially in the heat of the recent debt ceiling crisis) towards religious grou...

First off, you TS, are a hypocrite. You're dedicating this thread to people who spread hate towards Islam, yet the entire thread is very obviously completely apathetic about whether or not the man who shot him should be killed (which kinda defeats your whole "Muzlumz r naice", don't you th...

LOL Nay.. LMFAO These guys are just trying to recieve interest free loans. I could also make my own religion, and say something like 'It's against my religion to pay debts, oh also you gotta give me a free mansion and they keys to the playboy mansion because those are the rules that my good book goe...

I...I'm speechless.

I don't even know where to start raging anymore...

..what kind of sociopolitical system Dubai runs on. I find this extremely confusing thus far...is it a monarchy? Fascist regime? Totalitarian? I know (or I think I know) that it's a free market capitalist economy, but what kind of govern mental system does it implement? Not much of a thread I guess,...

cw71017

^ Thread Starter. To clarify, you. Person who started this thread is called the TS.

cw71017

Well I clicked on your sound cloud link and whaddya know it does sound exactly like its named. Can't say I like it. Music to me has to be more than just long drawn out strings and saws with some pitch manipulation. I would classify it more of an extended sfx than anything else or the soundtrack to ...

The best definition would be Dubai is totalitarian autocracy It is a Constitutional Federation, with specified powers delegated to the UAE federal government and other powers reserved to the seven member emirates. Ummm :?: Hehe sorry for being a little ignorant on the subject, I don't know much abo...

cw71017

5 people tried to stir up trouble, thousands of UAE nationals even expats went against them, so there's your answer, nothing is going to happen, we are happy with what we have, and please don't come up here saying that you wish for a revolution to happen, it's our business and i would appreciate it...

-.- Troll

I don't use samples.

cw71017

Yeah but lots of people use OP as 'Original post' instead so as to not cause confusion.

This thread has been derailed waaaaayyy off topic.

http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-PwdWms_VNVo/TgFLY5dFSGI/AAAAAAAAAIM/i3s3FIVM74c/s1600/shitstorms-a-brewin.jpg I'm sorry, but it sounds as though you're saying that the SCIENTIFIC proof of god is the fact that humans exist? What are you, some crazy ass creationist who thinks the world was created 6000 yea...

cw71017

Instead of using TS or OP, how about using their name? :D I'm a hypocrite to post this thread as proof to the Islamophobes on this forum that Islam is a not a religion of hate and violence, contrary to their biased views? Then you say, "doesn't anyone else find it annoying how nice muslims are...

cw71017

Oh no I think my VSTi use PCM.

But I usually try to drone with my guitar instead. (Real instrument, NOT a VSTi)

If I could afford it, I'd buy better software.

Sh*t my bad. When you said samples I thought you meant 'loops'.

I raged a little hahaha.

The Constitution, article 45, sets out in detail the Councils of Authority in the UAE, No individual has absolute power, Constitutional Federation, not autocratic. In fact Article 1 defines it as the following; Article 1 The United Arab Emirates is an independent, sovereign , federal state and is r...

cw71017

Alright then, "To show that Islam isn't filled with hate & violence" Your religious views, or lack thereof, are (no offense) irrelevant. Doesn't really change what I was trying to say. Are people here really so hateful of Muslims that an atheist has to step to defend the theists? :O Da...

:lol: That would require space on my computer, and countless hours of waiting for the...umm...Software to 'arrive' I haven't used Ableton Live yet too, I'll be sure to check it out though if I can get a new computer. I'm actually a little pleased with my software (I forgot that I got an update last ...

Well if you don't like it, you could always go home. That's what I say to people in GB, nobody's forcing you to stick around! Why shouldn't you have to pay for visas etc? It's only right that the locals get stuff for free, why shouldn't they? I wish it's a system we could adopt in the UK, but we ar...

"I maybe Paranoid, but I'm not an Android" :p I do tend to overthink things, but I only do it to assert my nonconformity :lol: Well I don't think that ALL Muslims are hateful and/or violent, but I've certainly met some people who were slightly more radical with their behavior around me (kn...

There's a very big difference between a revolution and a peaceful protest. No, I don't wish for this country's military to get down on the street and start shooting people, but yes I do wish certain things would change here using peaceful protest. What the hell did I get out of living here? Seeing m...

cw71017

Alright I needed to leave the house earlier so I couldn't address everyone, sorry. Dillion, I blame both my father and the sociopolitical system here. Of course it was almost entirely my father's fault, but the fact that Dubai doesn't give two shits about whether or not I end up homeless kinda aids ...

The good book is good because the good book says it's good.

Dayum, 40 GB? I don't think I'd be able to wait, I'd probably try to spring up some cash and just get it...I'm pretty impatient :p Oh yeah I've heard of that, I'll check it out...I'm not really a 'video' person, but that sounds interesting. Nah that's not really drone, it's more electro/score music....

cw71017

Nononononono! Nothing within the universe can be physically infinite, everything has a beginning and an end...EVEN if you are the creator. To sum up, God cannot be outside the universe (since there is nothing there until proven otherwise), God cannot be within the universe (seeing as how he's an inf...

cw71017

Yeah it's an odd genre, I haven't met anyone in Dubai who's a fan of Drone and/or Post-rock yet. It seems as though I'm the only elitist here :lol: Wow, that really does sound like a nightmare. :p I'm currently trying to get involved with GYEM (Global Youth Empowering Movement) to maybe further expa...

cw71017

I assure you that constant expansion is not 'meaningless'. It's been proven using Hubble's Law and by studying Red-Shifts. You're clearly trying to turn physics into philosophy, and I believe the two should never meet. Just because we're uncertain of whether there are other universes within a multiv...
