RP100. Digitech. Kinda crappy but it works. I use it sometimes as a compressor/sustainer.

I have the same one. My dad bought it for me when I started playing, and I used to think it was amazing :lol:

Now I think it's time for something a little better, now that my playing has advanced since then.

I'm looking at some Boss pedals.

[Illmatic]

^my highschool is becoming a very lot of fun. I don't mind class or the people in general. Of course, my best friends don't go to my school so I kind of float around various social groups.

I took high school seriously enough to do pretty well, but not nearly serious enough for it to ruin my life. I was actually one of the semi-popular kids, I think, so that might have been it. A lot of kids complain about the people in their high school, but my graduating class was great. Also, the teachers were cool too.

ATM: it's still too cold and rainy for grilling here. :(

I was semi-popular. I just hated so many of the people that I didn't want to hang with most of them. I mainly just chilled with my close group of friends, and tried to not let the other people get to me too much.

[Illmatic]

Yeah, there it is. I just think I had a great graduating class, because just about everyone was cool to some extent.

[ATM]

It also didn't help that the teachers sucked, and most of them were strict and dull.

[Illmatic]

Also, the teachers were cool too.

Most of the teachers in my school took school as seriously as most of the students, which is a definite plus.

[Permanent Solution]

My graduating class was 800 or so people, so I didn't know 75% of them. I was popular enough in high school, I got invited to parties and such :)

I have a Digitech GNX3, and I like that :-/

What's up with all of the **** threads tonight? No wonder people dislike coming into rock and metal.

[Illmatic]

I think I should get a pedal :eek:

what's a good but inexpensive one?

[ATM]

The Boss DS-1 is the one that I am thinking about getting. It's got good, solid distortion.

Ray, you might also like a blues pedal, since I'm guessing you won't be playing metal :)

[Illmatic]

Oh I'm definitely getting a blues pedal. I'm also thinking of getting Seymour Duncan pickups, becase I heard they're best for jazz and blues. yay/nay?

Boss DS-1 is great, and really cheap.

I don't know anything about pickups, unfortunately.

Ultimately, I want to achieve the tone Iommi had on Black Sabbath's Paranoid album.

I also need to get a decent slide and a decent harmonica holder.

Anyone download the CoB video that was just posted?

It's really good.

[Cain]

I always thought ROFL was Roar Out ****ing Loud.

Anyhoo, Cain is an excellent guitarist. Probably not the best in R&M but very good and his song writing is quite impressive. I just realized I do have an amp modeler. My old multi FX pedal has one built in. I'll try using that for next challenge. I wish people hated my song less.


Yeah, I'm definitely not the best. Thisfilter has a huge advantage on me as a rhythm player: he rips out a zillion polyrhythmic things on his songs and I don't even know the first thing about making polyrhythmics in the first place. He's also a great orchestrator and lead player. I like composing songs more than soloing anyway, although the latter sure is fun. :)

Dancin' Man, I hope you don't hate me for the criticism, hopefully my point was taken with no animosity.

[RoCKinG STANTON]

The Boss DS-1 is a very solid pedal, I've had it for years.

[magicbus]

Oh I'm definitely getting a blues pedal. I'm also thinking of getting Seymour Duncan pickups, becase I heard they're best for jazz and blues. yay/nay?

I'm not educated on Seymour Duncans, but I always heard Lace Sensor's were great blues pickups, and a lot of the Fender pickups (Tex-mex, Noiseless, etc.)

As for blues pedals, I was always sold on the BOSS BD-2, until I found the Ibanez TS-808. Now I'm definently going with the Ibanez. Check out both of them though :thumb:

[Illmatic]

If Tex-Mex is like SRV's sound, I'll pass. I didn't like SRV's tone all that much.

[magicbus]

Yea they are like SRV's. Noiseless are like Claptons, and Jeff Beck has Ceramic Noiseless. Buddy Guy is the one who uses the Lace Sensors, you might want to listen to his guitar on the website.

[Paranoidd]

SRV's sound was also partly due to the fact his strat was practically hollow.

[Dancin' Man]

Dancin' Man, I hope you don't hate me for the criticism, hopefully my point was taken with no animosity.

I haven't seen it and would never take criticism of this nature in a bad way. I know it's all to help and if someone does give mean spirited criticism, then they had better have something to back it up with. When you win, make the next comp Grind covers of pop songs. Blink 182 - What's My Age Again.

[Illmatic]

OMG, Rob stopped in to visit.

And I didn't know that, actually. I'm still probably not going to get Tex-Mex pickups, though.

Lace Sensors or Noiseless would probably be good. Clapton's tone isn't raunchy enough to me, but Beck and Guy (as stated) wrangle some amazing blues tones out of their pickups.

sup ;)

SRV's strat was pretty much hollow because it used to belong to the guitar player from Vanilla Fudge, who inexplicably put 3 humbuckers in it. Thus alot of the body was routed out which was what gave it the clear, bell-like tone.

[TheDMV]

Who'd everybody vote for in the guitarist poll?

haha, I'm not going to win, nostaligias or thisfilter is. But on the chance that I do, I shall simply make it a cover contest, and judge on creativity. You will be free to make your Grindcore cover...(not every knows what it is, like me :(), but other types of covers would be cool too.

But I won't win, like I said.

Hendrix. He deserves it. Gilmour does not.

[Dancin' Man]

Cain -

I just read your vote. Your's seems to have the best understanding of my song. The idiot after you seems to think that I screwed up 4/4 and it came out sounding like 5/4. I didn't even realize my drums were so low until about 2 days after I submitted my entry and by then it was too late. I resent people who like Joz's song better than mine though. That 3rd solo of his makes me want to go deaf. I think your song is going to win my top vote. There are parts of others I like better, but overall yours is my favorite. I wish more people did vocals though.

[Illmatic]

You've been turning up a lot less frequently, which is too bad. And while I don't like his tone, that is pretty interesting.

At this point I'm leaning towards "raunchier"/"dirter" blues as opposed to Clapton's very clean tone.

[Dancin' Man]

I dig that really crunchy blues sound. Clapton's sounds too accurate to me to feel like really emotive blues.

[Cain]

sup ;)

Good to see you Rob, haven't known of your whereabouts for quite some time.

SRV's tone is always making me flip-flop. I hate it on some days and love it on others. I think the majority of the time it's too wet-sounding for me...some more fuzz in his sound would have made it awesome. Then he could just control the raunchiness of the tone using the volume knob like Beck does.

[Illmatic]

I like Clapton a lot, but I don't listen to him if I want to listen to the blues. If that makes sense.

Yes, Beck is good, thus he got my vote in the pole :thumb:

Yeah, I don't understand how the kid after me gave Joz's an 8/10. No offense to him, because I like him as a poster a great deal, but I don't think the song is up to par.

[Dancin' Man]

123.

I like Clapton a lot, but I don't listen to him if I want to listen to the blues. If that makes sense.

Very much so. I don't like him that much because a number of his songs sound exactly the same to me. That doesn't bother me so much with standard 12 bar blues because they're practically supposed to sound the same.

NP my brother playing Cocaine

I know what you're saying, but I may not have the time.

So far I've listened to your song, Ramsey's (which was OK, but not really my style), then Magic Troll's (which is also OK, but a bit generic).

[i am the robots]

Now I've heard Lateski, Joz, and Gome, I like the first and third, but Joz' song is kinda cheesey and crappy IMO.

"refl" is an inexplicable misspelling.

It's not inexplicable; it's just a typo that caught on. Like "pwn", except it originated on MX.

Anyway. What are the rules for voting in the competition thread?

So far my choice is probably either you or Nostoligia, Berner's was OK but the intro was dumb.

Ramsey explains it pretty well in the first post of the competition thread.

Basically, just listen to every song, and write a few sentences or one really good sentence about it, and rate it out of 10.

example:

Berner's entry:
Berner's entry blahblahblahblahblah
7/10

Nah, you can just vote from the outside, it's not like the Lyrical Challenges.

Oh okay.

Well I would take the time out to vote, but I just found out I have an essay due in tomorrow.

[Bartender]

I wasn't even procrastinating though; I only just found that I have an essay to do an hour or so ago.

What was it on? More theroretical philosophy?

I don't have anything interesting to say about my day or anything, so for that I apologize. I did walk up to the Dairy Queen by my house with the dog and got her a small vanilla cone... friggin' dog ate it in three bites. Shows that dogs can't get brainfreezes, I suppose.

I don't have anything particularly interesting to add to the discussion that went on since I last posted, because most of the regs here know about my high school experiences, so there's no need to rehash a story.

Nope, we only have one essay to hand in for each module, thankfully. This one's for my Samurai one.

Yikes. That sounds like a rough experience.

What made you so dehydrated?

[GurS]

Well it was extremely weird. It was like 945am I got up to go the bathroom. Well, I went and I stood up and headed for the sink and just.. passed out. I remember hearing myself fall on the ground.. and my body fell against the wall then to the ground. I woke up approx. 30 seconds later and I was choking on my mouthguard so I struggled to open my eyes and I quickly got it out my mouth and I was crying at the same time.. then there was blood EVERYWHERE because I hit my nose and it started bleeding. I finally maganed to get up and walk into the hallway where my brother saw me and I fell on the floor, and he hugged me and called my parents while I was in freak mode and crying like no other. I went to the ER and they just said I vagaled.. meaning I was dehydrated and my blood pressure was extremely low. It was really freaky.

****... sounds scary. That kinda happened to a kid in my class. He started to shake and make weird growling sounds, then fell backwards on his chair and just started to shake weirdly. Then, two seconds later, stood up and asked "why am I on the floor"? Turns out it was low blood-sugars.

[GurS]

scariest thing that ever happened to me is when i put my arm through a glass door (accidently, of course)

WHY IS NO ONE VOTING IN THE MELODIC DEATH METAL COMPETITION?

Ramsey worked really hard on coming up with a fairer voting system for this competition, and suddenly nobody can be bothered to vote because it takes up too much time or some bull. Sorry to sound like an *** about it, but everyone deserves a shot at winning, but a few seem screwed already based on the overwhelming lack of voting. I understand the poll goes on for a few days, but come on, seriously. You're on mx already. It's not hard to take fifteen minutes out and give credit to people that worked really hard on their submissions, like Ramsey, Berner, thisfilter, Joz, Dancin' Man, and a slew of others.

Please? :( :( :(

I've been trying to stream misha's for the past ten minutes. It keeps stopping after thirty seconds. If I can't listen to an entire song, let alone ten (or however many entries there were)... there's no way in hell that I could give an honest feedback... the only thing I could do is look at everyone else's posts and just add or subtract a point somewhere and BS some sentences, and no one deserves that because of the time and effort that went into performing and recording it.

My leg is throbbing like a mother right now (if you missed the pictures, don't bother going back), probably because I laid out in the sun after Mother's Day dinner to try to dry it out so it'd scab up, but it kills.

Got my uni grades back today.

It was 89-103 in San Antonio's favor I belive. Basically they were always up by 20 the entire 2nd half.

Expect the Heat to crush the Wizards. The Wizards would have lost in the first round in five games if the Bulls had Curry and Deng. The Wizards' biggest weakness is interior defense, and the Bulls' big guys were Othella Harrington, Tyson Chandler (a seven-foot beanpole), The Artist Formerly Known As Antonio Davis, and a white guy named "Reiner" (who they probably picked up at a frat party).

Also, Shaq will go into "Postseason Shaq" mode at any time and crush all comers.

And AH, try being a Red Sox fan. Tim McCarver and Joe Buck were doing everything short of starting a "1918!" chant in the booth.

We had a cover of Skynyrd's "Freebird" coming together pretty well, but then our slide guitarist quit the band last week, so that's the end of that.

[clown_phobia]

how come he quit?

[Captain Jack Sparrow]

He was tired of our female vocalists. To be honest, the rest of us are tired of them too. We don't have anyone lined up to replace them though, so for now we're back to one guitarist. We're going to have to cut all of our blues songs now too.

Yes, but that's Eric Clapton. Josh, sadly, is no Eric Clapton.

So...

Why don't you people stop posting in and supporting crappy threads by doing so and start posting and discussing stuff in threads such as the artist threads done by the regulars of this forum?

Just a suggestion...

[Captain Jack Sparrow]

I don't post in most of the band threads in this forum because I don't know much about those bands. I may have heard one or two songs by a band like Vader, but I don't download often and those bands' CDs aren't available in my area, so I'm fairly uninformed when it comes to that music. I post in here because it's general discussion and something I can actually partake in.

I just got another haircut :-\

When you get haircuts (if you do, that is), do the stylists/barbers do some ridiculous hairstyle to finish your haircut that makes you look like the goofiest cornball ever, or are they sane and style your hair as you'd normally do it.

I remember the one time I went to some no-name barbershop by my house and I got a side comeover. It was one of my more awful hair presentations. As soon as I walked out that door, I definitely had to fix that up so I didn't look like I was walking out of the '40s.

Sonata Arctica and Megadeth were each $4, Dredg was the most @ $8. Mix of used and new CDs.

I got one haircut on a trip to Washington to "look presentable" on Christmas for the family. We ended up going to the only barbershop in town, on the windows it says "cheap military cuts." I think that will tell you how much hair I lost. Mind you it snowed that whole next week and I didn't have a hat :(

[Mazeppa]

When I used to cut my hair, the barber would sort out my hair very nicely. I went to that same barbers for years, but now I've stopped.

[Shred Danson]

I'm thinking of trimming mine up a little...just to make it grow faster. It's been at the same length for months; 2 inches past my shoulder.

Who wants to see pictures from my bands (minus the toher guitarist because he had some state track meet he neglected to tell us about) photoshoot today?

Note to Zepfan - What a steal. Dredg was my favorite from that list but ATDI and SOnata Arctica are also great. I like THrice a bunch but haven't heard that album. The rest don't do a whole lot for me but for under $45, I'd take them all.

Yea I would really love to do Layla, that song rocks hard and it would be a blast to play. The only problem is that due to the short notice, I wasn't able to get a whole band together, so I'll probably just be doing acoustic.

Today I went running...again. I used to make fun of runners, but there's something very...I'm not sure what the word is, exactly. There's no one else around, there's no real point to it...you're just running. It's just you and your thoughts, plowing straight ahead. It's a great way to take a load off. I also shot some hoops today (gotta keep sharp, even though I don't plan on playing competitively).

Then I showered and went a used CD store and got:
The Roots - Phrenology
Jaco Pastorious - self-titled
Temple of the Dog - self-titled

For about 22 bucks.

Also, I talked to my friend and she told me about some of the colleges she got into. Pretty decent list.

[Dancin' Man]

My friends all run (trackies) but most of them do around 10 miles a day. THe endorphins are supposed to kick in at some point and you feel like you can run forever. I have never ran more than 2 miles at a time and don't plan on doing more anytime soon. Ballet gives me all the excersize I need.

[Bartender]

Bartender, obviously I'm not offended you don't like all the choices, but I am curious as to which you don't :) (Anyways it was mainly the insanely cheapness of said purchase :))

Well RATM's self-titled is a great record, as is Rust in Peace. What I've heard of ATDI is pretty good, as is the one song I know by 30 Seconds to Mars. I don't own, nor have I heard, Reckoning Night, but I like Sonata Arctica in general. Thrice, as I think I've said to you before, I'm not that keen on at all, except for the odd song.

Ah yeah, it's an eclectic mix, so I figure most people wouldn't like everything I chose, but I do :D The Thrice album is just a few B-sides, unreleased things and a DVD, which is supposed to be awesome if you're into the band, though I haven't had time to watch it yet.

Wow, I can actually comment on all of them. Kind of.

I actually own the first two..but I thought you didn't like The Roots?

The Temple of the Dog album is surprisingly good, though. I haven't really listened to Jaco Pastorius enough to form an opinion yet though.

[Illmatic]

Ballet?

Hahaha...fag.

Nah just kidding. Ballet's certainly not my cup of joe, however.

I don't like dancing in general, actually. Supposedly I can do it well because I'm black, but I've never tried it.

I don't keep track of how much I run, I just run until I feel like I don't want to anymore--so obviously, the amount I run varies from day to day. When it comes to solo exercising, it's all about shooting hoops for me. It doesn't seem like a lot of exercise, but it definitely adds up, especially when you do it for hours at a time like I do.

I also learned "Don't Follow" by Alice in Chains today on guitar. It's not a hard song, but it's fun to play anyway.

I actually own the first two..but I thought you didn't like The Roots?

I wanted to give them another try.

[Dancin' Man]

Vince - She's been our bassist (the female role in any band) for about 2 years now. When we began it was just the three guys as ex bandmates form a different broken up middle school band. We needed a bassist badly and she's pretty good and really easy to work with.

Ray - Ballet. I've been doing it for 8 years now I think. It's good excersize and if you're a male, very cheap. Lots of scholarship opportunities. All black men dance well. It's the law of nature.

Fair enough. What do you reckon to Phrenology, then?

I bought it because it was cheap, really. With the exception of a few songs, not much of it seems to really stand out. Some of the tracks beside those are pretty good though, so it's not a bad album. Just not a great one.

[Illmatic]

Hey, I'm already IN college, I don't need no scholarship. And I realize it's good excercise and heck, even Babe Ruth did it, but it just isn't something that appeals to me.

And I disagree, "The Seed 2.0" is a great song. "Thought @ Work" and "Water" are both very good as well.

The Roots are amazing live.

I saw them with Cody Chesnutt, and he did a 15 minute Hendrix-style solo that was so good.

[\m/Pete\m/]

whats up all.

So to answer my own question a few posts back I went out and just bought the new Limp Bizkit to see what it was like and here is my analysis:

I like it. Its a lot like their first album Three Dolla Bill Yall so that right off the bat is a perk (for me anyways). Fred is still doin his half rap/half not thing, but its a lot darker than before. When some of my friends listened to it they said excatly what I thought when I bought it, "This sounds like Rage Against the Machine". There are also points in the song where they sound a lot like Deftones, but to be blunt...this sounds nothing like the last few, its actually good.

Checkout "The Truth" (my fav song off the album) at their websit if you want.

[Kurtz]

It reminded me of RATM. It comes to show that the vox play a huge part in what sounds good and what doesn't.

Well, for one, Nas and Biggie and Wu-Tang Clan are not East Coast rap. They are Gangsta Rap or East Coast Gangsta Rap.

Pioneers like Eric B. and Rakim amd Big Daddy Kane were completely forgotten. The most iconic and widely known rapper of all time (2Pac) was trivialized to one upload. The G-Funk movement, which ruled the first half of the 90's, went completely unnoticed.

I know it wasn't 100 percent perfect, but give me a break. I couldn't cover every single artist that I wanted too.

/To Ali...

hitchiker's was very disapointing- it was alright and funny in parts but it could have been so much better

mos def was rubbish as ford and the guy who was Zaphod played him too stupid

the stupid hollywood romance thing with arthur and trillian ruined it really...
four words for hollywood... NOT IN THE BOOK!

Correct for not needed, but it was probably wrote into the script by Adams, to satisfy the american markets.

I only realised the other day that the script has been around for a long time, and has barely been changed by the time the movie was shot.

/To Ali...

Yep. It would have been a good movie, if it wasn't under the name of the guide. The fact that they missed out most of the humerous bits from the book really pissed me off.

mos def was rubbish as ford and the guy who was Zaphod played him too stupid
Yep. I now despise Mos Def. I thought the guy doing Zaphod kind of had the role down, but over did it at times. I also disliked the whole arrangment they gave him for the two heads :-/ I thought that pretty much all of the casting was off, except for Zooey Deschanel as Trillian.

the stupid hollywood romance thing with arthur and trillian ruined it really...
four words for hollywood... NOT IN THE BOOK!
Yep. They made far too big a deal out of it, especially since it was barely mentioned in the books.

I'm still at a loss as to where they're going to take it next, and as to what major plot surgery they will perform.

[Lord Abortion]

yeah... been in "development hell" for around 20 years, but I was just so disapointed, It could have been classic, but Zaphod was played all wrong (hint- zaphod in the book and radio seems to be a little like keith richards), he is totally different from the book
the whole thing with ford trying to shake hands with a car was stupid, too- still going to see it again with other parent... it may be better the second time

[munky_magik]

I think the whole thing was kind of Americanised to appeal more to a larger audience. As the books stand, they have a very kind of...British humor.
If they kept it 100% faithful to the book then it wouldn't make so much money.

[Lord Abortion]

heh... new user title to show my disgust

EDIT: or was... going to be "Mos Def ruined Hitchiker's"

why is this asteix'ed?

[munky_magik]

The "tc" combination is censored because of the spam wars with Tab Crawler, but that's ancient history.

I wonder what they were thinking when they cast Mos Def as Ford.

[Lord Abortion]

ah... makes sense now (well...)

this one is better- wanky casting bastard wank cunt bollocks!


/I feel better now

[Bartender]

I was getting ready to rail once more against what they did to my beloved Guide, but then, fortunately, I realised I was in love the world and everything in it. So I didn't.

Wow, I guess that movie sucked, huh?

[munky_magik]

It wasn't a bad movie as such. It should just never have been under the name of The Guide.

[Shred Danson]

When I saw the preview for it, at first I thought it was going to be another Men In Black movie. But I'm not too interested in it anyway.

[Arucard]

I havent been posting in R+M much, sorry about that, but i dont see much need to now that its getting alot better, and we cant spam up the com thread anympore.

Thanks for the JPOP Munky, i found some more for myself, i the uber corny type. Alot of the stuff i like is Anime sountrack JPOP, especially for the Blue Gender and Gundam serieses.

Re: Hitchikers Guide

I liked the movie, and I know it isn't exactly like the book, but why get all stressed out because it isn't? I feel that a movie can still be entertaining even if it doesn't match up to the book completely.

[Permanent Solution]

I saw a preview the other day for a Jumanji ripoff, except it's set in space, it was hella lame haha. (just reminded because we're talking about space) Anyways, it's my last day, I'm so happy/sad :-\

Congrats, Joebait.

Yeah, I was wondering where you'd been...

[Arucard]

Sorry, i just have been busy with stuff. Exams very soon, and you know, i dont know what to talk about in here anymore.

[Shred Danson]

Rock and Metal. Duh.

[Illmatic]

I know it wasn't 100 percent perfect, but give me a break. I couldn't cover every single artist that I wanted too.

Maybe you didn't have to cover EVERY artist, but someone who is widely considered the greatest rapper ever should get a little more than one upload crammed near the end. That's like writing a brief history of boxing and only giving Muhammad Ali a brief sentence or two.

[ATM]

I'm not disagreeing with you, it's just that uploading all of those files was taking ages, and I mainly just wanted to give people a starting point.

[Illmatic]

Also, another thing that slipped my mind until right now (arguably the biggest flaw):
-2 Live Crew is not early/old-school rap; they are considered Dirty South/Party Rap, and instead of building a foundation for rap (as Grandmaster Flash and Run-DMC did), they helped contribute the Dark Age of Rap (1989-1991).

Hell, I would have nixed 2 Live Crew altogether; the purpose of the FG was to clear up misconceptions about rap, no?

Also, I hate to stomp on your toes here, but with all due respect, I think you could have spent some of the time on your favorites on uploading some more Pac. Pac is arguably to rap what Miles is to jazz, what Marley is to reggae, what BB King is to the blues: an icon, a paradigm. I can't stress that enough.

Everyone should go and check out This (http://www.musicianforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=338581) band, whom Det Nossip thoughtfully wrote a thread on.

Question: Is it racist that I just saw the love of my life talking to a Jewish boy and now I'm steaming pissed?

[Dancin' Man]

Ray - if you dislike the FG so much, write a continuation of it and I'm sure ATM will edit yours into his post.

Cemetary Gates- She probably doesn't like you because when she talks to you, you just change the subject to something irrelevant and meaningless.

[Illmatic]

I'm going to get around to it. Right now I can't stay focused enough to write that much, though.

Okay, so my FG sucks then.

[CemetaryGates9]

It was good, it just could have had more history in addition to the uploads.

[Illmatic]

ATM, your FG sucks

Since I clearly said it did, yes. :rolleyes:
