moonstrahl Posted June 11, 2002 Share Posted June 11, 2002 Hey there everyone, I am 100% sure that this is a thread that has graced this forum many times. Since I did not find it active right now, I am going to ask the question: Which is better bombing or piecing? I personally thing that both is appropriate, but I wanted to see what everyone thought. I just got in an argument with someone who said that piecing is for people who think graff is art, and the true vandal bombs..., I am not sure how I feel about that since I can see arguments on both sides, but before I ramble my sac off I want you all to respond.

cmeup Posted June 11, 2002 Share Posted June 11, 2002 both are totally different ummmmmm aspects of writing. it takes skills to do each of them, while some relate in both categories... they are both very different aspects of graff. bombing atleast to me, is more about having the nuts to go out and destroy shit, and get up. there is a style to it, and you can have mad style in your bombed letters and throw up etc... but its not the same as peiceing... piecing is more about the letters and overall style to me... not everyone can piece as good as the other, and to me, peicing brings out your skills more, being clean, dope colors, the letters... etc... :D both are dope... and its important to do everything, tags,bombs, pieces, rollers, trains...the works... be well rounded = :king: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 87centHitMan Posted June 11, 2002 Share Posted June 11, 2002 I think that you should be good at all aspects of writing. I see some people that will do nice pieces, but they can't bomb for shit. Handstyle is important, too. I see some kids that have had the same hand style for 3 years. That is LAME. You need good handstyle on top of bombing and piecing skill. But then there's the exact opposite...People that can bomb the hell out of shit but then they can't do a real piece. I think having piecing skill is more important than bombing skill, honestly. It isn't that hard to do bombs and throwies, but to do a real piece takes some effort. I myself need to get better at piecing, really. I can piece, but not like alot of the writers around my area can. It takes some time, trhat's for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

misery#3 Posted June 12, 2002 Share Posted June 12, 2002 The way i see it is a peicer gets mad respect for being good at it, but gets more and better respect if he bombs, now a bmber gets respect if he hits mad shit up and bombs good but gets more respect if he peices. So bomb and peice. Thats how i see it and thats how alot of others do to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Urethra F. Posted June 13, 2002 Share Posted June 13, 2002 its all about piecing in the sick ass spots. throwies are for wieners. its all a competition to see who has the biggest balls. And if you're diligent enough to pull half hour pieces out of your ass anytime anywhere, then you're probebly a great contender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wase_137 Posted June 13, 2002 Share Posted June 13, 2002 Someone said before and I agree totally with it, Piecing is on another level and mindstate than bombing. ANYONE CAN BOMB, but how many of them can create a fresh piece, with a clean border, inline, forcefields etc? How many of them kids know techniques for days on how to make something look certain ways? Maybe the fact that piecers don't have very good style bombing is because they don't spend the time perfecting a throw-up instead of creating a piece. I guess the decision is up to you, after you have been bombing for years, then maybe a few of you people on here might adapt the skill of piecing, in order to elevate your mind and do something new...

tassie toy Posted June 13, 2002 Share Posted June 13, 2002 I don't think you can compare the two. Bombing is great for getting your name up and the adrenalin rush of hitting mad spots but peicing takes heaps more skill, and alot of the time looks better. As for the writers who just bomb, I think thats gay. A real writer can do both. I always try to do equal aounts of bombing and peicing. for every bombing session I try to do a peice so I can get better at both. I have heaps of respect for bombers who kill shit, because there the ones with balls but I also respect writers who can peice real well because there the true artists.

Kettie Posted June 13, 2002 Share Posted June 13, 2002 bombing is cool cause seeing it makes people wonder how you got up there or hit everything in the city. but a piece is at a whole diffrent level. people just step back and are like damn, thats dope. besides you gotta piece freights Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spokack Posted June 13, 2002 Share Posted June 13, 2002 Bombing is just to get up, you do it much faster than you would ever would do on a peice. Bombing is was more of a trip, you know the rush of hittin up some crazy spots and shit like that. I dont really compare the two, i just see them as two different things, doing both at the right time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starv Posted June 13, 2002 Share Posted June 13, 2002 I think both are fine. Bombing is for the vandal that is wanting to get up. Piecing is for the sheer art of it. I think some of the greatest pieces can be simple bomb pieces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
