Hey the forums are back up....

I haven't been here in like 2 days, How is everyone?

[Johnny B. Good]

Friggin MX is working that well for me today
Everything keeps getting all screwed up

[Otherside]

I Cant Post Arghh!!!!!!

[Steerpike]

Is it working again yet?

[Steerpike]

Guess not...

[Permanent Solution]

What's frustrating?

I spent most of yesterday trying to cheer up a girlfriend who was constantly close to crying. Thank god she's in better spirits today.
This is the last post I can read...how annoying.

[Simple Man]

It keeps posting what I say twice.

Hey munky and all the rest of you regulars, I haven't been here for a while but I got rid of that virus.

Why are a bunch of the pit people posting in here now.

I think they got bored of the pit and come to R&M and post in here, because it's the tr00 place to be in R&M.

[magicbus]

Which pit people?

[Otherside]

Well, that works now but I still have ot jump through a bunch of hoops and error messages to see any results.

[Simple Man]

:lol:

I don't know, I guess I'm used to seeing magic,zep,munky and bar over and over again, It's weird to see new people
and the rest the regulars they just popped in my head.

[Otherside]

Post to refresh?

[Simple Man]

I don't know I guess I'm just used to seeing the regulars in here

400 from 10k :0

It keeps deleting my post.

[Jom]

Whoa, I can see page 949 now.

Test post for page 950.

[munky_magik]

I can no longer see the last page :(

[CaptainWaits]

every post you put takes about 10 minutes to finally show up. Something is quite wrong here

[Steerpike]

Okay, I know there's a page 950, but this seems to be the only way to convince this ****ing site that it actually exists.

[Silenius]

Yay, MX is back up. :)

[Steerpike]

Okay, now it doesn't even think anything beyond page 949 exists, evne when I post in it. This is really pissing me off.

[Permanent Solution]

If you go to Thread tools->printable version you can read it all.

[Illmatic]

This is the last post I can read...how annoying.

I didn't know you felt that way about me.

[Illmatic]

And yes, Bartender, that was me. It was in the "Anyone at R&M like rap?" thread.

Of course, this post probably won't show up, but eh.

Speaking of rap, Jay-Z was just robbed at the Grammys. I have nothing against Kanye, but The Black Album was better than College Dropout.

[Permanent Solution]

I can read but not quote your post DN, but you know I love you :)

[Freezing Moon]

This is so wierd.

[Jom]

I liked Kanye's performance at the Grammys... but I don't know enough about rap to decide if Jay-Z's album was better to Kanye's.

Honest.

[Freezing Moon]

Unless this error message is lying to me, MX is going to have a lot of e-mails saying there is an error.

[Illmatic]

I can read but not quote your post DN, but you know I love you :)

I know, I know, I was just bustin' your balls.

And I'm 110% sure this post will not make it through. Godspeed to it.

Nice use of Floyd.

How is everyone's night going? I had a ton of homework today, and a basketball game which involved my team getting brutally murdered. We have a four day weekend coming up though, so I'm excited. Anyone else get four days?

[Steerpike]

Okay, get this: not only will it not show anything beyond page 949, but when I change the url to try and circumvent it, it just takes me back to 949.

[Cain]

I posted about twenty posts before the place it actually showed up. Weird.

[Kingofdudes]

So I see mx is still messing up

[Jom]

Yeah, I dunno Gilmour, I can only see up to page 949, I just use the "see printable version" to see what's going on.

[ledpoisoning27]

shorter of breath and one day closer to death.

[Kingofdudes]

Great, now I cant see the last page :-/

[hafez]

I haven't been here in like 2 days, How is everyone?

only on mx would that be considered a long time to be gone

[clayman112388]

It's kinda back up, it seems laggy for me...

[Steerpike]

I'm going to out on a limb and say there are still a few kinks in the system.

[Distant Echoes]

Its about time the sites workin again...

...so, what have you all been doing since mx went down? Its been boring as hell for me, ive been trying that netpron.com thing, and i only got to level 7 so far. Pathetic

[Kurtz]

whoa.

[munky_magik]

And I still can't see the last page. This is really starting to annoy me :mad:

[FatalLiquidation]

How's everyone recovering from the lack of MX?

[Steerpike]

(sigh) Well, it's moving the thread up the list again, but it still won't let me see past page 949.

[Broken Arrow]

Yes, she's back.

I was getting worried because the flow on the backup site has gone to a minimum.

[magicbus]

So its back?

[Broken Arrow]

AW it still doesn't work right!

Or does it?

[Jom]

What up to my homies in R&M.

/ebonics

I still can't see past page 949, although I can see the new pages with the "See Printable Version" option or whatever it's called.

It's still a bit choppy, but at least things are back up.

I'm still getting that white screen of Death, though :(

[Simple Man]

I can't see anyones post the last one I can see is othersides.

[Cain]

Arrrgghhh WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?

[munky_magik]

if you switch your thread display to Linear - newest first you can see all of the posts normally :)

[Illmatic]

Blargh. Why won't this site work?

[Illmatic]

Whoa, it does work!

munky magic, you are a god among men.

[xXAcousticTearsXx]

I'm fianly outta' jail!!!!!!!!!!!!! Whoo-Hoo I am so ****ing happy right now!

Holla holla holla R&M regs.

[Illmatic]

Yeah ma, your dude is back, Maybach roof is back
Tell the whole world the truth is back
Don't argue about who can rap 'cause the truth is back
Look at my raps

Also, Valentine's Day went extraordinarily well for me. Who knew that out of all the women in the world, my girlfriend would happen to be the one who doesn't care about it? I am one lucky guy.

[clayman112388]

Mx keeps making me refresh whenever I post.

[clayman112388]

[FatalLiquidation]

Can anyone else not see certain avatars? Ledpoisoning's for example.

[Permanent Solution]

Yes, I have a feeling it has to do with the fact that the error was database corruption.

[Freezing Moon]

I can see it, but it's glitched. Is it supposed to be like that?

Did some writing. Actually, since the campus internet was down all of Saturday... a lot of writing. I think carpal tunnel is starting to set in...

[Cain]

Is this silly site up and running yet?

EDIT: It is, but my avatar is massively f-ed up

[ArcLite]

Yeah, lots of things are a bit out of sync. Post count ain't working for one.

[Cain]

Mmmkay, fixed my avatar. Good stuff.

[\m/Pete\m/]

I wrote a sweet riff...sweet to me anyways

better question...will MX stay up and running for more than 3 hours

[Cain]

That's a great question, but first let me see your riff.

Anyone know how all this MX down business came to be?

Edit: And disregard my previous post about post count not working..I'm an idiot.

Depends on what style of music. What emotion you are going for in the song. That sort of thing.

[ArcLite]

Yes, the H/P part was nice. I suck at making up cool riffs. That's why I choose to play ones that some other chap already put the work into.

[Cain]

I have tons of cool rock riffs in C#m lying around...I just need to assemble them someday. All of them are your heavy-distorted melodic rock type thing, though. I just like that key...cool chords are possible in that key.

[Cain]

Hey! I knew my menu bar looked shorter...where's the search feature?

Burt deleted a few threads. Some avatars were damaged in the database breakage, people need to reload them.

Hey no problem man. I'm on your wavelength when it comes to that stuff, generally: I love ambience and tend to write a whole lot of orchestrations and different parts. Actually for my senior project, and I know this sounds dorky, but I wrote a concept instrumental album that's like progressive rock/metal in spots and more new-agey in others, based on the Lord of the Rings trilogy. My latest efforts have been in transcribing it on my Finale notation program. It's just that C#m seems to yield more radio-friendly stuff than other keys, hence the rock riffs: it's not a particularly dark key, more of a poppy one.

[Permanent Solution]

It might happen by way of admin later on, but I'm sure they'd appreciate it if you did it yourself.

You reload it. Assuming you kept the original picture file it shouldn't be too difficult.

[Cain]

Eh, I'm still screwing around with my own stuff. MY most recent riff is kind of Blackmore-esque with a Baroque feel and heavy use of double-stops and a little bit of discord.

That's cool. I save my dissonance for my metal stuff, generally: I'm not very inclined to break too many theory rules when I'm playing melodically, generally speaking. :) But I do occaisionally. It honestly depends on what kind of music I'm playing.

[CaptainWaits]

This is one my friend and i made up. Not much to it but i sounds cool

Standard E, C, A, etc (however you want) tuning..played mainly on 6th and 5th strings

--5-
0-3-0-0

and then repeat...now to clear things up

*natural harmonics
~vibrato (also sorta bend it)
\slide into (dont pick the 1st 5\7 chord)
the opens are palm muted as well as the 0\2's that are close together

and those arent 22's either and i fixed that part (lower one) so it doesnt look as messed as it did when i first posted

Ah, finale was my old program, but I like tabit because it has drums. That one I sent was actually in Dm oddly enough :)

Really I just get something in my head and play all the instruments one note at a time until it goes from head to paper, because I'm really particular about capturing emotion in music, and I capture the emotion in my head first.

Thanks much. The lyrics really help, especially with the gunshot that seems sort of random as presented. The music is really an extension of the lyrics, if that makes sense.

My finale does have drums. :confused: Weird. But the stuff I'm coming up with is really good, if I say so myself. I would love to record it someday.

I usually go for emotion too, although sometimes a desire to be stereotypically badass does inform my compositions. It usually turns out ok though.

God, I love music. That's really all there is to it. I love writing it, I love having the ability on my instrument to play what I want and what I hear. It's such a joy for me.

Ah see, unfortunately I can't compose a lot of what I play because I don't play my instruments that well. I can play it slowly and compose, but I can not always play what I write at tempo unfortunately. You should put up one of your compositions at some point.

[Cain]

That's pretty cool, man. Sounds like a Breaking Benjamin riff or something with those harmonics and emphasis on the lower strings. With a good drum beat that riff would probably be even extra cool. :thumb:

BTW, the best thing about notation programs to me is you can write stuff you can't neccesarily play. I have a ton of fun writing cool drum beats especially.

Aha! Cool. Mine has that too. How could I get it on the web though so that people could listen to it? I don't know how to use the service you used.

I seem to have an affinity for dissonance myself. One thing I'm fond of doing in my riffs for a little spice is this chord shape:

A |---12---|
E |---9---|

I first heard it used in The Dragon's Child by Iced Earth, and since then I've been experimenting with how to use it properly.

I like it. Keep up the good work. I'm impressed with the rhythm skills: as I don't play with a pick it's hard to do really cool fast gallop rhythms like what you do. :thumb:

Lessons? You don't need no stinkin' lessons! :)

I've been playing for three and a half years now, and it's all without lessons. I'm pretty good I'd say...I think I have a natural affinity for the guitar. I have tons of tab books, tons of theory books, tons of guitar magazines...I just drink it all in. It's a trip for me, and it's hugely inspiring to me to learn the whys and wherefores of theory and structure. I've never run scales. Just dedicated practice, practice practice.

[\m/Pete\m/]

yeah thats how i am

Im 19 almost 20 and my little brother (16) and i were taking lessons at the same time but i only did 1 cuz i got a job out of town and he took them all and he is phenominal...its rediculous how good he is and frankly i am jealous, but i do feel that i have a nac for songwriting and what fits and what doesnt so we'll see where i go from there. :)

I took lessons to start, but there really aren't any good teacher around my town. I just learn everything from the internet and books now.

[\m/Pete\m/]

My teacher was amazing...he won a national finger picking contest or something like that 2 years in a row, plus i know him personally and hes a really great guy so i might go back to him since we're friends and that

The only reason I stick with my teacher now is because I've gotten to know him personally, and he's an awesome guy. He can't teach me **** anymore, but he's still cool.

[Huber]

My drum teacher apprently has a band that is getting kinda big. He's real modest and doesn't really share anything from it though. His name is Mike Lund. Does that ring a bell to anyone?

I've been taking lessons with the same guy for 5 1/2 years. Lessons are a good thing. Well, atleast for some people. I see myself stopping my lessons only when I really have too. There's always something new to learn. Even if your just learning random tidbits from a song, it's good to have someone else there to help you. Especially when you can't think of anything to work on, you always have someone else to give you criticism and tell you what to do.

did any of you listen to my song on the previous page at all?

Yeah, I wasn't able to get on at all last night, and its been up and down periodically through the day.

I'm doing fine. Nothing utterly screwing up my day yet. YET.

[ArcLite]

Not bad. At work, eating some Fatdonald's, MXing again...don't get no better.

I see. Well, I can imagine better, but then I am Australian. :)

You mean such as frollicking through the outback with your neighborly kangaroos and dingos?

That reminds me.

Ahh, that is much better.

I wish I could. Just kidding about the Aussie comments. I'm actually surprised you didn't come back with a US comment. I mean come on Jason, I handed it to you by telling you I was eating McDonald's...

[Six Foot Revolver]

Yey! MX is Back!

[Riva]

Fix'd. And just for Chris... "Stupid Fat Americans"

Speaking of which, has anyone heard that Lazyboy song, "Underwear goes on the inside"? Very funny.

[Riva]

Underwear Goes Inside The Pants


Why is marijuana not legal? Why is marijuana not legal?
It's a natural plant that grows in the dirt.
Do you know what's not natural?
80 year old dudes with hard-ons. That's not natural.
But we got pills for that.
We're dedicating all our medical resources to keeping the old guys erect,
but we're putting people in jail for something that grows in the dirt?

You know we have more prescription drugs now.
Every commercial that comes on TV is a prescription drug ad.
I can't watch TV for four minutes without thinking I have five serious diseases.
Like: "Do you ever wake up tired in the morning?"
Oh my god I have this, write this down. Whatever it is, I have it.
Half the time I don't even know what the commercial is:
people running in fields or flying kites or swimming in the ocean.
I'm like that is the greatest disease ever. How do you get that?
That disease comes with a hot chick and a puppy.

The schools now: It is all about self-esteem in the schools now.
Build the kids' self-esteem, make them feel good about themselves.
If everybody grows up with high self-esteem, who is going to dance in our strip clubs?
What's going to happen to our porno industry?
These women don't just grown on trees.
It takes lots of drunk dads missing dance recitals before you decide to blow a goat on the internet for fifty bucks.
And if that disappears, where does that leave me on a Friday night with my new high speed connection?

Masterminds are another word that comes up all the time.
You keep hearing about these terrorists masterminds that get killed in the middle east.
Terrorists masterminds.
Mastermind is sort of a lofty way to describe what these guys do, don't you think?
They're not masterminds.
"OK, you take bomb, right? And you put in your backpack. And you get on bus and you blow yourself up. Alright?"
"Why do I have to blow myself up? Why can't I just:"
"Who's the ****ing mastermind here? Me or you?"

Americans, let's face it: We've been a spoiled country for a long time.
Do you know what the number one health risk in America is?
Obesity. They say we're in the middle of an obesity epidemic.
An epidemic like it is polio. Like we'll be telling our grand kids about it one day.
The Great Obesity Epidemic of 2004.
"How'd you get through it grandpa?"
"Oh, it was horrible Johnny, there was cheesecake and pork chops everywhere."

Nobody knows why were getting fatter? Look at our lifestyle.
I'll sit at a drive thru.
I'll sit there behind fifteen other cars instead of getting up to make the eight foot walk to the totally empty counter.
Everything is mega meal, super sized. Want biggie fries, super sized, want to go large.
You want to have thirty burgers for a nickel you fat mother ****er. There's room in the back. Take it!
Want a 55 gallon drum of Coke with that? It's only three more cents.

Sometimes you have to suffer a little bit in your youth to motivate yourself to succeed in later life.
Do you think if Bill Gates got laid in high school, do you think there'd be a Microsoft?
Of course not.
You got to spend a long time in your own locker with your underwear shoved up your *** before you start to think,
"You'll see. I'm going to take of the world of computers! I'll show them."

We're in one of the richest countries in the world,
but the minimum wage is lower than it was thirty five years ago.
There are homeless people everywhere.
This homeless guy asked me for money the other day.
I was about to give it to him and then I thought he was going to use it on drugs or alcohol.
And then I thought, that's what I'm going to use it on.
Why am I judging this poor bastard.
People love to judge homeless guys. Like if you give them money they're just going to waste it.
Well, he lives in a box, what do you want him to do? Save it up and buy a wall unit?
Take a little run to the store for a throw rug and a CD rack? He's homeless.
I walked behind this guy the other day.
A homeless guy asked him for money.
He looks right at the homeless guy and says why don't you go get a job you bum.
People always say that to homeless guys like it is so easy.
This homeless guy was wearing his underwear outside his pants.
Outside his pants. I'm guessing his resume isn't all up to date.
I'm predicting some problems during the interview process.
I'm pretty sure even McDonalds has a "underwear goes inside the pants" policy.
Not that they enforce it really strictly, but technically I'm sure it is on the books.

[Cain]

:lol: That's great.

Thanks for coming though. Very humorous song too, had me laughing good at a few parts.

I know. I saw it on the radio, I and thought "Wow! A commercial, mainstream song with meaning". :eek:

[Riva]

Hehe... The Trial's brilliance just increased tenfold. I can't believe how many little nuances I can draw from it each time. I mean Pink Floyd's song, of course.

Top of the morning to ya Barkeep. The song was Lazyboy - Underwear Goes on the Inside, funny stuff.

[Bartender]

I'll see if I can find it somewhere then.

How are things?

[ArcLite]

Not bad. Off work now, just BSing back in my room. How was your weekend?

[Bartender]

It was okay. Went home for a while to get accodomodation and payment details for next year sorted out, and then spent the rest of the time rather bored because of the death of MX. Amazon's still being a lazy ****er with my order, too.

How about you?

[Riva]

I am talking about a song called "Underwear Goes Inside The Pants" by a man called 'Lazyboy". Very funny.

[ArcLite]

Me and a buddy spent the whole weekend watching Seinfeld on DVD and drinking margaritas. It was a good lazy weekend. I'm picking up an Amazon order today. I got Imperanon - Stained, should be good stuff. Yeah, the MX downage was a big letdown Monday morning at work.
