[QUOTE=Illmatic]Costa Rica sounds pretty cool...have fun.

Walrus: I've heard that Spanish in Latin America is spoken differently from Spanish in Spain, kinda like how English in the UK is spoken differently from English in America.

Stuff I've been listening to lately: trip-hop, Pet Sounds by the Beach Boys, and Jaco Pastorious's self-titled album. Well, one of those is classic rock, I s'pose.



It depends, really. Places like Jamaica, Mexico, and the Dominican Republic have tourist places where it's safe to roam around, and then there is the "real" Jamaica, Mexico, and the Dominican Republic, where it's really not safe for anyone, much less some tourist.[/QUOTE]


Yeah it's different, but the Spanish think it is VERY different. They are kind of spatulas about it; I was talking to some old Spanish guy on the plane, and I was saying that there are lots of people that speak Spanish in the US , you know like lots of Coloubians/Mexicans/Puerto Ricans, and his response was "Si, pero Espanol es MUY differente" like he didn't even want anyone to think that they were the same language or something

My deal with my parents was that they thought Spain was Mexico for some reason, like they kept on telling me not to drink the water and to bring back sombreros :confused: They would proably think I would get kidnapped if I went to somewhere as safe Iceland or Japan (pretty badass, Iceland is) :rolleyes:

[QUOTE=Walrus Gumboot]My god you are so lucky. I have always wanted to got there, do you speak spanish? Tengo que practicar mi espanol. I don't think my parents would let me go, they have thins thing with thinking anyone that isn't Canadian/American will kidnap me. A little bit racist, I guess, when it comes to their little baby. I don't think they understand that it is alot different when you speak Spanish, or at least that I wouldn't follow some guy down a dark alleyway trying to get some pot like that girl in Aruba :rolleyes:

At any rate I'm sure you'll have lots of fun[/QUOTE]

As long as you stay in the tourist-ty area, you should be fine. I've been to Mexico, Jamaica, and the Grand Caymens. All were on a cruise, and they only port in the tourist areas, and unless you wander off you won't get kidnapped. Too many people around.

Widespread Panic is a jam band, country+blues+roots+other stuff influences, similar to Phish...check 'em out.[/QUOTE]

I'll remember to check them out :lol: :lol:

I might be getting a job in a used music store downtown. They have a ton of older used CDs and records, and they're all like $10-12. I hope I can work there, it'd be sweet.

A collection of fine musical selections.

I'd love to go to Costa Rica. I would never wanna go anywhere cold for a vacation. I love warm places, like Mexico.

Hell, I could live in Mexico.

i just left my job. they dont want me back, but im going to keep reapplying anyway. i miss it already.

I've been to Mexico many times in my life, and never has it been the resort type places. My grandma used to own a house in Texas right near the border so we would just drive into the nearest towns in Mexico. There were some cool shops and stuff, but there was no where you could really eat without getting some sort of sickness. I always liked giving the poor people money, the kids would go insane with happiness if you flicked a penny in their direction. It wasn't a very dangerous place actually, I always felt safe.

The only place I didn't feel exactly safe was in Morocco, but we had a bodyguard so I think it was fine.

edit- Has anyone heard the band AC/Dixie? It's an AC/DC coverband who puts a country/bluegrass twist on all their songs. I've only heard their versions of Back in Black and Highway to Hell but they are actually very very good. If you are a country fan you would probably think they are ten times better than the original. I like them.

never heard of them..sounds interesting though.

Candian Guy: Mexico isn't "warm" it's scorching! Even northern Mexico is hot as hell. It's no place for Candians. :p

I go to Mexico alot. (5 times a year) It has alot of very friendly people. (or at least from the people I've met) It has alot of ****ty towns though. Nueve Laredo is a real sh[I]i[/I]t hole but places like Puerto Vararta are some of the most beautiful places I've ever seen. Great for surf.

Stuff I've been listening to: Jeff Beck, Chalie Parker, Traffic, Phish, Faust, Grateful Dead, Blind Lemon Jefferson and Ornate Coleman.

NP: Blue Wind - Jeff Beck

I just got Grateful Dead - [I]Hundred Year Hall[/I] from the 1972 Europe Tour, this CD takes place in Germany. I like this CD equally as much as Europe '72, it's awesome. "Cryptical Envelopment" is 36 minutes long, I havenv't listened to it yet but I'm looking forward to it. I finished Disc 1 which was awesome I'm going on Disc 2 now which also looks awesome.

Morrocco is crazy, I was there once, nothing happended but I can see how you'd feel unsafe just walking down a street, even on busy streets I felt unsafe. Amazingly nice country though, I bought a pipe there.

Awesome, I was just downstairs listening to Live/Dead on vinyl. It cost me forty bucks but I'd say it was worth it...I couldn't find it anywhere else on vinyl. Live Grateful Dead is worth more than anything on earth.

I really liked Morocco, I haven't been to a lot of different countries, but it's definitely one of my favourites. I only got to spend one day there though, which is a shame. What does your pipe look like? I was hoping to smoke some hash, but I was there on a school-related trip and the teachers told me I couldn't wander off on my own.

Morrocco? Wow :lol:

I bet it must be, like, a million degrees there right now.

Morrocco? Wow :lol:

I bet the heroin's great!! :amaze:

My pipe is made of wood, its like polyurethaned or something...basically really hard non-flamable wood. Its dark wood with some red swirls on it and its shaped like a gavel a judge would use with a curve in the the tube part (dunno what that part of the pipe is called), cost me like 10 dirhams..pocket change lol. I was there in April 2004, pretty fun.


Countries I've been to:
Ireland, England, Canada, Morocco, Spain, and Portugal. Ireland pwns my list of favorite countries.

[QUOTE]My deal with my parents was that they thought Spain was Mexico for some reason, like they kept on telling me not to drink the water and to bring back sombreros [/QUOTE]

This is true with most Americans on the topic of an Hispanic Country or Latin American country. It seems hard from some Americans to grasp that Hispanic is not really a race, we classify it as a race, but it includes white people, mulattos, blacks, mestizos, and native indians. Most believe that South Americans and Carribeans are all similar looking to a native Mexican, which is of course not true. And they usually believe that a country like Argentina is 100 degrees year round, and filled with Mexicans that that do voodoo. When it is strictly white and Roman Catholic and definitely isn't 100 degrees year round.

/likes arguing this topic

Mexicans are hardcore Catholics, it's the Haitians who are into that voodoo stuff.

Also, Haitians, Dominicans, and Jamaicans (and probably others) tend to be darker than natives of Mexico and South America...I'm sure this has to do with the fact that Haiti, Jamaica, and the Dominican Republic were big slave plantations back in the day and had a big black population, wheras Mexico, Central America, and South America had a big native indian population

/total guess

This isn't CR related, you bastards. But a while ago, didn't we decide it to be the CR thread/community thread? Heh, yeah.

NP: Ramblin' Man - The Allman Brothers Band

Why change it? I like it this way just simply Classic Rock. A while ago we almost made it the Jam Rock/Classic Rock thread but we dodged that bullet. The name should and shall stay.

Well the thread title was Classic Rock, but to all the regulars it was the "Discuss Classic Rock and the lives of the regulars here"

[QUOTE=Mister Blue Sky]Well the thread title was Classic Rock, but to all the regulars it was the "Discuss Classic Rock and the lives of the regulars here"[/QUOTE]

In these parts, we govern ourselves :cool:

Seriously though, in time we will set up a Guerilla foco (unit) and take back Rock & Metal using brute force.

/bann'd

There is already a community thread having a 2nd one would be stupid.

I remember when Classic Rockers actully had a part in R&M. :upset:

The metal head community is drowning us out. :-/

[QUOTE=Mister Blue Sky]Well the thread title was Classic Rock, but to all the regulars it was the "Discuss Classic Rock and the lives of the regulars here"[/QUOTE]

Last night I finished reading For Whom the Bell Tolls, which is probably the best book I've ever read. All this talk of Spain, and your mentioning of Guerilla units reminded me...no real reason to bring this up though.

Anyone else read this book? It's soooo good. The main character really likes absinthe, which I think would be interesting to try.

On a more music related note...I've only heard the Dark Star from Live/Dead. Is there a studio version? Is it any good? I love the live version.

Yeah, I know. It's hard to write FA's on CR bands, because all the n00b metalheads ignore it, but when someone writes an FA on System of a Down...

Gentlemen (and Gentlelady),

We are a rare breed.

There are too many close minded people that hang out in rock/metal. It's a shame, really.

That tends to annoy me, too.

[QUOTE]Anyone else read this book? It's soooo good. The main character really likes absinthe, which I think would be interesting to try.[/QUOTE]

I'll look into it, and absinthe.

So, I'm thinking about making my own moonshine. :thumb:

Yeah, we're a bit like an island of rock in a sea of metal.

I just can't beleive how many people only listen to metal. It's like you ask them to name all the types of music they listen to and it's like..."well I listen to death metal, doom metal, a little bit of black metal, some hardcorish nu-metalcore thrash..."

I don't have anything against fans of metal in general...since tons of my friends are metalheads, I just find that a lot of them are too closeminded.

edit- The guy at our local head shop said he could order us some real absinthe, but it's like 200 bucks a bottle. He can also get us legal mushrooms that are more potent that any of the illegal ones around here. He's a cool guy, he gives us a gram whenever we are super low on cash...and he has really really good weed. My friends dad makes moonshine, but he's been in Jamaica for several months now.

Edit: Does anyone remember that one thread, I think someone made it about U2, and one metalhead posted "Why are you bringing that sh!t in here, this is a metal forum!"

I nearly cried. :(

I hate close minded people. :evil:

I hate when a (close minded) metal head complains about how Classic Rock "bores him". How can anyone generalize an entire era of music??? Even I wouldn't go as far to say mainstream these days is boring because I could never generalize an entire era like that. Way too diverse.

I remember that thread, good stuff! Anything that englightens metalheads (or anyone) about rock is A-O-K.

edit- The other day in the newspaper there was an article written by a man who I know (he takes guitar lessons from where I work). It was all about his memories of Woodstock and it was a great article. He wrote about how everyone was warned not to take "light blue flat acid" (I'm not sure why that specific type of acid wasn't good). Then he wrote about the music and the all around atmosphere, he said he stayed away from the blue acid and stuck to pot and hash. There were pictures that he took and put in a scrapbook...they were pretty cool. There was one of him smoking a joint on a VW Beetle while Hendrix was playing. All in all...it was a very very cool article.

[QUOTE=Mister Blue Sky]Yeah :(

very true and to your other point it does seem as if the metal heads now rule R&M which is to baad. :upset:

I say we make a thread on how close minded this forum has become. Then we will group attack any metal head who disagrees.


Who's with me?

[QUOTE=Schyma]I say we all get banned[/QUOTE]

No thanks.

No-one would get banned if it was intelligent discussion and not mindless flaming.
