I just watched the Magdalene Sisters on IFC.
The parts with Christine freaked me the heck out. =/
And in the end, when she's standing in the little white room sticking her fingers down her throat and gagging herself made me want to hurl. And the last image.Geez. They show this really hot picture of Bernadette with her hair all wet and down and staring in anger at the nuns, and then a few minutes later they cut to Christine in all of her retarded glory.
Ugh.

It was okay, I guess. A decent way to kill two hours, but not as brutal as I had suspected.

Well, it looks like MXTabs is closed again. Too bad.

DragonForce are playing the state theater in St pete. ROFLMAO.

The people who live around the place get pissed off if there is a band there. But as soon as Dr. Dre comes they don't care :rolleyes:

Thats cause Dre runs that ****.

Haha just think of dragonforce playing for fans of that crap, that would be a real laugh.

As cheesy as dragonforce can be those guys can rip hard.

I still don't see why tabs keep getting made illegal, there's nothing wrong with them =/

They should be illegal to read

Infact I think alot of "Tabbers" can't read at all. Tabs are joke anyway most of these people are 14 year olds who always transcribe works in the hardest way to play mode. If you want to learn songs brush up on reading [I]notation[/I]. Tabs never have the rythmn to follow and they are never right and you'll end up playing things in a more difficult manner then nessescary.

Not to mention your really not learning anything, your just copying actions like playing simon says. Learn whats making the sounds whats making it sound the way it is and you'll be able to play things by ear since you understand music in a better way.

Eh, yeah. I don't use them 'cause they give me a headache.

But they're so incorrect that I don't see what the sheet music industry has a problem with.

They should be used to augment your ear. If you need to learn a song exactly the way it was originally played, then yes, notation is best.

I know tabs were useful for me when I started guitar, I didn't use them so much for drums, and I almost never use them for anything anymore. I think that beginners can benefit from tabs, as long as actual notation isn't completely ignored.

I have seen tabs like this before

A-1
E-6

I think I crapped myself :lol:

Im actually surprised how big they have gotten recently.

Learning extremely basic theory is the best thing you can do. For example lets take any iron maiden song, if you know basic theory you know the song is going to be in A and the notes used will be either from the pentatonic or minor scale which they use 90% of the time. If you look at a tab you'll say "Ahh these are the notes that are used" And you'll see it and understand it more then just coping it. You won't even have to look at a tab because you'll know every sound in music is formed through note choice and the notes you lay on. Not only will you understand it but you'll have the knoweldge of how to use these sounds on your own.

I think it would be cooler if he was actually playing everything instead of just him playing overtop of drum loops.
And I really like Levin better then this bassist, although it is mostly the same stuff played on the chapman stick.

For some reason that video was incredibly boring to me...

[QUOTE=Josiah]Sorry pal. When she signs with a record company, she has NO SAY in who the musicians are. The producer and management does. They will prob higher session players they already have on a list of their own contacts.

THat said, try and see how it goes, and see my above comment about a contract and lawyer.


All that said, if it's less then 1,500/week.. don't drop out of school.[/QUOTE]

Yeah, you pretty much just summed up all the things I'm worrying about.

I'm doing music at college, so I think I'm gonna stick with college.

~~

By the way Josiah which course did you take at PIT and how did it work out for you?

I'm considering studying there when I finish my Music Practise BTEC

~~

I had an hour drum lesson today, instead of the usual 20 mins. I'm happy. At first i learnt some swing jazz, then some country western, and then some disco. It was right down quality street.

And i shaved my beard last night, and it's already grown back. And my teacher lared at me about it today, god damn sexists

Is your teacher a she?

haha i have over 100000 negative rep points :(

Not anymore. I rep'd you.

[LEFT]-100011 points total[/LEFT]

Sperad the love, phil, Give me some neg rep!!!!!

I thought the rep system was done away with? Well evidently not...

~~

Its back.

Ah, I see.

Just came upon quite a cool sounding thing on the kit, playing a 4/4 8th note beat but play the 8th notes alternating between the hi-hats, ride and tambourine, creates a really cool sounding polyrhythmic effect I think. Don't know how I hadn't stumbled upon that before.

~~

DAMNIT.

Damnitdamnitdamnitdamnitdamnitdamnitdamnit.

Damnit all to hell.

I'm craving a toasted cheese sandwich like a pregnant chick and have no bread to make one.

...is Chuck Norris really black?

I totally thought he was some white guy, but nobody's said anything otherwise...

Chuck Norris is a white western type. Country Western that is...

Faith+1 - How old are you? 'You Got Served' is really old....



Or am I thinking of 'Are You Bein Served?' ?

It's fun to ride all over your kit. Just go around cymbals from right to left, then go from snare to rack toms then floor toms and repeat. It's cool if you have an odd number of things to hit so it takes a while for the first beat to fall on the hi-hats again.

ARGH! I want to see them again.

I have seen them twice so far (Aenima and lateralus tours) Man they are great live.

Not a big tool fan to be honest with you. Well, i actually haven't heard any tool. Google video here i come.

[QUOTE=fishbulb]Not a big tool fan to be honest with you. Well, i actually haven't heard any tool. Google video here i come.[/QUOTE] Erm, Good introductory songs IMO would be Stinkfist, or prison sex. Unless you already like progressive rock, than just listen to the song/cd Lateralus.

There music takes a while to unfold, if you are expecting a 3 minute tune with a verse chorus verse chorus structure you wont like it. The entire 10,000 days album is very linear, so I wouldnt start with that album.
