When I saw what they did to the end of Return of the Jedi on DVD I feltlike killing lucas. Actually.....

[munky_magik]

ok, so I just got done baking gingerbread cookies with my Gran(and I've never felt more manly with a rolling pin on one hand and a can of beer in the other) and a couple of things occured to me:
1. I've never been more embarassed by my generation. She asked for Chirstmas music so I flicked it onto a music channel and VH1 classic had "We Love Christmas" playing. this seemes Chirstmasy but unfortunately we got one christmas song, one random song and then it switched to about seventy thousand different adverts for downloading sounds for mobile phones. I can only imagine what must have been going through her head and what she thoguht of peopel my age :upset:
2. Tradition is quite possibly the strongest force in the universe. It doesn't matter how stupid something is, or if no one wants to do it. If its tradition then it gets done no matter what simply because its tradition. This is where all the evil geniuses have been going wrong.

[Mr. Ron]

Know what I always wondered? Why doesn't Rolling Stone Magazine do coverage on heavier music? I'm not talking about Metallica or other such bands, but REALLY heavey stuff like Hardcore bands or Death metal? They claim to represent music, but how can they say this when they leave out other genres? Why?

[guitrguy]

They represent the american mainstream. Thats why you don't see death metal on the cover.

[Mr. Ron]

They represent the american mainstream. Thats why you don't see death metal on the cover.
But shouldn't they represent ALL music? Most good music is not or never will be mainstreem. Come on, how kickass would it be for Opeth or Dream theater to be on the cover of Rolling stones?

[superpeer]

Those bands are fairly mainstream.

[Arucard]

Yeh, mainstream in the underground scene. Its wierd you know, whats 'underground' these days.

[Mr. Ron]

Those bands are fairly mainstream.
mainstreem among metal fans, but not mainstreem to the average music listener.

[Arucard]

Oh yeh, and too Badmoon, i think you will find i will join you in your quest to kill the Indie forum. I have a surface to air missile launcher.

I still don't understand why we want to destroy the Indie Forum :confused:

[guitrguy]

They have to make money, They sell more magazine by covering what is popular to the majority. If they did make it on the cover, every one is going to call them sell outs.

I always thought that most indie (especially these days) was just a replacement for pop-punk. Un-energetic/'chilled-out' music, with guitarists playing slow power chords and ripping off classic rock bands. But that opinion has only derived from listening to The Strokes, The Libertines, Keane, Maroon 5 and Kasabian.

I'd say that's a very skewed idea of it, similar to saying that all emo is Taking Back Sunday-esque pop-punk, only not so bad.

Screw a normal sleep schedule. I've just recently made the mistake of hammering my sleep patterns back to "normal" at my parent's behest, and it was a bad mistake at that. Just find a useful/comfortable cycle, and stick with it.

I agree, and I love being up all night, but I need to be ready for school to kick up again.

As it stands, I'm pretty much nocturnal. I wake up as the sun is setting and go to sleep after it rises.

My University sleep cycle was awesome. I was going to bed around 6-7pm, and then waking up around 2 am. All my lectures and things were in the mornings, so I was awake enough and on time enough to walk to them in a relaxed way, and had time to do things and spend time with my few friends. It was great.

My schedule was go to bed at 6 or 7 pm, wake up at 2 or 3 am, take Nyquil, go back to bed, wake up at 6:30, go to school. I was sick so I needed sleep and normally I can sleep 12 hour nights, no problem but being sick makes me sleep less so I needed the Nyquil. That was my schedule for about 3 weeks.

WoW is superb. I played EQ for two years... and this game is sort of like if most of the bad aspects of EQ were taken out or fixed.

There's less focus on time sinks than EQ, in a sense. In EQ you had to spend hours to get anything done, but in WoW you can log on for just a half an hour or an hour and make some progress - but there is still enough work to be done to keep power players like me happy.

[BassVirtuoso]

I want WoW so bad it's disgusting.

Well that's kind of the worry I get from WoW. It seems to have the "ooh, new, shiny thing"-effect going for it. I can't think of the actual word for this at the moment, but I'm sure you know what I mean. EQ/EQII seems like more the sort of thing I could enjoy, more in-depth, more time-consuming.

It really doesn't matter what album you buy, they are all great and incredible.

The tickets? If so, they were 35 bucks a pop.

[Bartender]

Down in the workshop, all the elves were making toys,
For the good gentile girls, and the good gentile boys,
When the Boss busted in; nearly scared 'em half to death,
Had a rifle in his hands, and cheap whiskey on his breath,

From his beard to his boots, he was covered in ammo,
Like a big, fat, drunk, disgruntled Yuletide Rambo,
And he smiled as he said, with a twinkle in his eye,
"Merry Christmas to all, now you're all gonna die!"

Well the workshop is gone now; he decided to bomb it,
Everywhere you'll find pieces of Cupid and Comet,
And he tied up his helpers, yes he held the elves hostage,
And he ground up poor Rudolph into reindeer sausage.

He got Dancer and Prancer with an old German Luger,
And he slashed up Dasher, just like Freddy Krueger,
And he picked up a flamethrower, and he barbequeued Blitzen,
And he took a big bite, said "It tastes just like chicken."

The night Santa went crazy, the night Chris Cringle went nuts,
Now you can't hardly walk around the North Pole, without stepping in reindeer guts.

There's the National Guard and the FBI,
There's a van from the Eyewitness news, and helicopters circling round in the sky,
And the bullets are flying, the body count's rising, and everyone's dying to know,
Oh, Santa, why?
You used to be such a jolly guy.

Yes, my friends now, well, Santa's doing time,
In a federal prison, for his infamous crime,
Hey listen here now, don't you cry no more tears,
He'll be out, with good behaviour, in seven hundred more years,

But now Vixen's in therapy,
And Donder's still nervous,
And the elves all got jobs working for the postal service,
And they say Mrs Claus, she's on the phone every night,
With a lawyer, negotiating the movie rights,
Lemme tell you 'bout..

[Dancin' Man]

So I was thinking.

You know how there are some things that you do and have been doing for a long time but didn't really get started seriously right when you began doing it?

/confusing

Like guitar. I started "playing" 5 years ago but didn't really start to practice and get better until like 2 years ago. Does anyone else do this? You have a revelation and all of a sudden one day think, "I want to get better" and then you try hard and practice and...get better?

[Distant Echoes]

Ive been playing drums for a while now. I dont go to the D&P forums because i get the same questions over and over again, and it gets boring, but i can help you out with anything you need to improve on. In fact i have a few people IMing me now on drums...mostly because of my articles in the Lessons section. But i might start posting lessons on a new website since the creator of it personally asked me to do it.

But i didnt get one drum related thing for x-mas, but alot of guitar stuff, including a Boss CS3 compressor/sustainer pedal. It sounds like **** on my little 10-watt amp but im getting a new one with all my money. Either a Behringer V-tone or a Vox valvetronox, but i dont know much about either, but im buying one very soon

[BoboTheRagingHobo]

I played guitar for a good 3 years before I decided " I actually want to get good at this ". Now I have a teacher, been playing seriously for a year and improving and such.

It was okay; nice meal, a bit of fun with relatives and such. Gift-wise, got a few books, which may be good, I don't know yet, along with some money, and socks.

The money leaves me with a tough decision though; do I put it towards saving for a Lazy Boy, or carry on with buying CDs and DVDs and things?

I dont get Christmas money. What happened is my parents got me a 1.5 Gig Rio Nitrus MP3 player. I struck up a deal with them: we return and get the money back for the MP3 player, they put that money toward the Zen and I make up the difference(I used $65 from my work money).

I cant wait for it to come :D

Yea, I gotta change mine.

[lunch998]

Everyone has to change theirs now. No more holiday cheer on Mx.

[jpj]

Changed, you gotta love The Mule.

[Joe]

hey, to whoever said live sh*t is amazing thanks, your right. merry xmas everyone...well i guess its over for everyone in europe and asia. it's still xmas here for about 40 mins

[lunch998]

Changed, you gotta love The Mule.

Yea, it was disasterous when you tried to make it Rudolph though. I like it now.

[Knifeboy]

I think I'll keep my christmas avatar for the next 6 months

[jpj]

Yea, it was disasterous when you tried to make it Rudolph though. I like it now.
That didn't work at all, my paint skills certainly aren't up to par.

[Bartender]

So, is anyone else having trouble making this Top 25 list?

[munky_magik]

I just got back from spending Christmas money. I got:
outkast - speakerboxxx/the love below
Marvin Gaye - 2 disc best of
Meshugga - I
Daft punk - Homework
and COC - wise blood.
All in all a good day, I'm debating whether or not to get some Nevermore stuff, cause they had it pretty cheap. Any thoughts on them?

[Adam Jones is GOD]

It's impossible...I'm also considering about whether or not listing 2 albums which I got yesterday is acceptable or not, although I'm leaning towards yes. :-/

What did you get eventually? And whats up with your forum? The link in my bookmarks doesn't work anymore

[Adam Jones is GOD]

Oh no! But tool are banned from the album poll!

Seriously though, i've got 12 so far, and now im stuck. I used to think that i was a metalhead, but now looking at my CDs, so much is alt/indie/unclassifiable.

And pity about your forum, it was looking like a good thing, with 0% morons, it should have been a paradise

[Adam Jones is GOD]

If Radiohead count as rock, then thats 13 on my list now. Still hard to worm more onto there though

[Arucard]

Im getting an iPod mini with my new years eve gig money and some of my saved stuff. Its gonna run out of room so fast...
On a lighter note, live at budokan is so good, and its the first DT cd i bought, and the first track As I Am was the first DT track i ever heard. Wooh.

[Bartender]

Marvin Gaye - 2 disc best of
Meshugga - I
Daft punk - Homework
and COC - wise blood.


That's a pretty cool list.

Anyway, yeah, I'm still having trouble with this Top 25 thing. Mainly which Iron Maiden album I should include, but actually just thinking of 25 worthy albums is proving strangely difficult.

:( for Medopalis' forum. I liked it there. How do you like Lateralus, anyway?

[RNR]

yay lunch for tommy not weird piece of crap as avatar yay w00t

[RNR]

yay to superpeer for lifting my ban early! :chug: yay superpeer, go you! :thumb: :D

[RNR]

[BoboTheRagingHobo]

yay this thread! ooo tripple post w00t.


L0ser, there is no triple post. Medoplais pwnt u!

[Arucard]

Im sorry guys, but Half Life 2 is taking over my life. Ive posted only 5 times today WTF! Its not even CS, its the ****ing single player, ive been on it for ages, but ive managed to get far.

[superpeer]

I wish I had an mp3 player or the like :(

[RNR]

L0ser, there is no triple post. Medoplais pwnt u!

me=teh zwnezzz :upset:

[Silenius]

I wish I had an mp3 player or the like :(
I have a iPod. :p



:)

[superpeer]

What's the difference. :)

[Silenius]

Nothing really, some people call them jukeboxes but they're basically mp3 players.

[superpeer]

Ah, I need something cheap. :*(

[Riva]

Man...that's a really great album. I listened to it for the first time yesterday, thinking it might be a bit overhyped, but even based on two listens, I can see why everyone thinks it's so incredible. Especially for an album that long, it's just of such outstanding quality that it's untrue. Although Faap De Oiad (sp?) is a really disturbing song. Listening to it for the first time at 1:30 this morning probably wasn't the best idea, in hindsight.

EDIT: To Bartender

Yep, nothing worse than lying in bed, relaxing to the sounds of Disposition, Reflection and Triad, only to have some static and then a crazy man screaming "GOVERNMENT CONSPIRACY" disturb your sleep. :(

[Dancin' Man]

I bought 4 new CDs today.

Porcupine Tree - In Absentia
Opeth - Blackwater Park
Dillinger Escape Plan - Miss Machine
Meshuggah - Destroy Erase Improve

I already had every song from each of those on my computer but it was time to buy the real thing.

P.S. Lateralus is still my favorite album of all time.

[munky_magik]

oooh...whats the PT cd like? I've been thinking about getting some of their stuff

[Dancin' Man]

It's really good. It was the only CD in that list that I didn't have the entire thing. I also don't mind not having the import of Opeth - BwP because one of the extras sucks. I wish it had Patterns in the Ivy pt. 2 though.

Awesome, Are they all good?

[Dancin' Man]

Of course they are, I don't buy bad CDs*.








*anymore

[Simple Man]

Haha, That's good.

[CaptainWaits]

Nah, Meshuggah's the only good one he got

[Arucard]

Ok, only two more chapters and i complete HL2.

[Bartender]

Good for you.

Or is it good? Will your life be incomplete once you've finished it?

[munky_magik]

Nah, Meshuggah's the only good one he got

be quiet you.
Anyway so I just listened to Meshuggah - I, and wow....that is one crazy piece of music. I love it though. The playing is so good in it, it really is crazy.And some of the riffage is just amazing

[Bartender]

Yeah, that's one of the few Meshuggah songs I can really like. Luckily it's also fairly long.

[Arucard]

Yeh, i dont want to complete it. :(
Its so fooking scary i swear, one chapter you are in this 'abandoned village' ooooooh, and you have to fight of all these head crabs and stuff, BUT ITS SO SCARY.

[Paranoidd]

I have a confession about I...I actually like it. For those of you who know my tastes, that'll doubtless surprise you, but I can really dig that as a song. And their drummer is incredible.

Tomas Haake 0wns.

And thank you to whomever closed that last "omg modern rock sucks" thread, it was raising my blood pressure.

[Kingofdudes]

lol i lve pissin ppl off lol

[Riva]

So, did everyone have a good chrissie?

Any crazy plans for New Years?

[Kingofdudes]

Knowing my managers, I will be working :(

[Paranoidd]

I was sick all of christmas day. I was seriously awake for about 4 hours of it.

[Riva]

Nice work, Rob. Flu? Diorrhea? Herpes?

[Paranoidd]

Nice work, Rob. Flu? Diorrhea? Herpes?

I ate some bad mussels the night before.

Woke up at 10, opened a couple presents, threw up at 11.
Went to visit family by 12, flu-like symptoms had set in.
Slept until 8 pm.
Woke up, had some soup, had teh diarrhea, back to sleep until midnight.
Woke up, went home, slept until 10 this morning, felt much better.

[^Dream~Theater^]

Xmas was awesome, Got DT - Live scenes from new york :thumb:

[Kingofdudes]

Im debating if I should play more Halo 2, or just chill on mx :/

[Riva]

Chill on MX with us ;-*

So yeah, Eric Clapton and Richard Clapton were right next to each other on my randomised playlist. :eek:

[RiceMonster]

I got a new stereo, some CDs, band t-shirts, guitar strings, strap and picks, band t-shirts and other cloths for Christmas.

[Kingofdudes]

O shi!

So I have decided that I will get more serious about guitar. I am gonna start taking music theory next week, practice a lot more, buy a better electric, buy an amp, and try to develop a tone of my own.

[RiceMonster]

I want to buy a 100 watt marshall but I don't have the money. I should get a part time job.

[Riva]

O shi!

So I have decided that I will get more serious about guitar. I am gonna start taking music theory next week, practice a lot more, buy a Fender Strat, buy an amp, and try to sound more like David Gilmour

Fix'd. <3 you, Aaron. :)

Oh, yeah, did I mention I'm splurging on a Strat with a maple fret board? Getting it for mates rates too. :D

[Kingofdudes]

:lol: I was actually talking to Brian about trying to emulate David Gilmour's tone today at work.


He will be an influence though :shiftyeyes:

[Riva]

What looked better? My old or my new avatar...

*Is seriously undecided*

[Kingofdudes]

This one is a bit blurry

[Riva]

If you can make it less blurry, rep ++ for j00.

[Kingofdudes]

Sorry, I dont have photo shop :/

[Riva]

Other bands play! Manowar kills!

So yeah, I think I shall eat some dark chocolate now. Yum Yum.

[^Dream~Theater^]

:lol: I meant to help test that other dude that needed help, but glad to see I helped.
Hope the guitar thing works out, I recently started getting down to buisness with guitar after 4 years of dicking around and i wish i would have kept at it :upset: but better late than never :thumb: best wishes dude.

[Captain Jack Sparrow]

seen meet the fockers today, was a very funny movie

I've been 'iffy about the trailers. Is it really theater-worthy funny, or is it more rental-worthy funny?

[ThrashHead]

I want to see that movie, but that Barbara Streisan annoys me. :angry:

[Bartender]

Other bands play! Manowar kills!


Did you put a Manowar album in your top 25?

My mam got a little games box thing for Christmas. It's awesome. Just a little box, with a joystick and a button on top, which you plug into the television, and then play games on it. Pacman, Galaxien, a few others..it's so cool.

I seen that thing.

Yesterday I went to Niagra Falls, where everything is coated in 8 inches thick of ice. I'm not kidding, it's amazing. The walls of buildings are solid ice and icicles are like 2 feet long. It looked like something Immortal would write a song about :cool:

[Bartender]

That sounds very cool, too. Pun not intended, unfortunately.

NP Immortal - At the Heart of Winter

My step brother got one of those, it looks very amusing.

Also Riva I liked your old one better.

[munky_magik]

Does anyone on here like/adore Red Dwarf?

[Bartender]

Yes. I do.

How far from there do you live and in what direction?

Bartender - Have you tried Future Breed machine yet for your Meshuggah tasting? I actually like it better than I.

And to that guy way back there who said the only good album I bought was the Meshuggah one, you are wrong. It is however the best one I bought.

[Bartender]

Yeah, it was amongst the first wave of Meshuggah songs I heard, along with New Millenium Cyanide Christ, Gods of Rapture, Suffer in Truth and Soul Burn.

[munky_magik]

You're a good man Bartender :thumb:
I've been watching my series 5 dvd and I've decided that it is possibly the best show ever

[Dancin' Man]

Soul Burn is another favorite. I really like the ones with weird dissonant solo parts.

[Bartender]

It is the best show ever. I've ordered my DVDs as they were released from Amazon; previous series arrived on the day of release, which was great. My series 5 one was two weeks late though, which was unbelievably annoying :(

Still, now I have series 1-5 on DVD, and a little model Starbug, too.

I wanted that Starbug! But my mum sucks at these things :(

I just can't seem to like them too much, I and a song from their earliest times called Choirs of Devastation being the exceptions.
