oh aight hehe. :amaze:

wow 56 rep points so far. is that good?

anytime you're in the plus, it's a good thing.


the battles are just whenever people decide it's time and someone takes the initiative to organize it.

ok well ive decided its time. ps, drumphil, coco, and you are gonna drum battle. :P

[QUOTE=Jeff;13782987]wow 56 rep points so far. is that good?[/QUOTE]

I have over 2500 :)

We need another general solo competition like we had in February. Those are the biggest and generally the coolest, in my book.

damn i've only got 340. epi really screwed up my rep when he neg repped me back in the days.

i kind of like the play along contest better. it's hard to judge solos when everyone has a different view as to what a solo should be.

some like to groove the whole time, some like to play technical stuff, some only want to show off their speed. everyone plays a different style of solo and everyone likes a different type of solo.

yeah but usually you have, say, a group of 10 in a catagory, there's gonna be 3 that are technically above the rest, so people will vote for one of those 3 they think is the best musically to them, which is what music is about.

that's true

I like the competitions here. I've only entered one, and my entry was horrible, but I plan to enter as many as possible now that I have a (fairly bad) means of recording. It's good personal motivation to better myself, and a reason to get practicing. :lol:

We should get another one going soon. I'd be up for that.

In the last comp I played quintuplet groupings accenting every 7th note....everyone thought my time sucked/or said they couldn't comprehend it.

:smoke: thats why I am here ladies.

Yeah your entry was confusing :upset:

I'm not tech metal enough to understand it.

Pfft. You and your techy talk. It's on. Tech battle. :cool:

i've just been starting to really analyize my playing, and for playing over 7 years I sure do suck big time. I've been working on some solo ideas over the past couple of months to get ready for the next drum-off, and I must say for being in the Advanced catagory I can really get my *** handed to me. That's the whole reason why I went the swing/jazz route last time around because it was the only way I'd have a shot :P

[QUOTE=MatthewMeredith;13782845]Same reason I don't take Tylenol. Eventually your body depends on it.[/QUOTE]


You know, I don't think acetaminophen really has any addictive qualities to it at all. Anyone who thinks he/she is addicted to Tylenol is probably just half retarded.

On the Unleashed!: Competition, Cocaberry beat me :(.

Man, party organization blows 'round here.

People make plans then break plans and don't inform the rest of us.

I drove around in the middle of nowhere (not by myself, though, I was followin' another guy)...the roads arn't even paved out there.

It's where all the meth labs are, and javalinas, and jackrabbits, and chupecabaras...

And it's only like 20 minutes from my house =/

Looking forward to whenever the next drum-off it. I couldn't enter the last one for lack of recording equipment :|

To drink or not to drink.

Am i in? Am i out?
Oh let me in tonight,
Im so cold and confused
I think i might just lose my mind
Im looking for that salvation
The club house for the holy son
Where the rules are scriptures written on a holy cloth
For all the spilt beer

I prayed to someone or something
And no one answers
Time on my knees, waiting
Good lord

Its not the sinner, not the saint
Nor the holy jesus christ
Who turns water into wine
Thats the chemist

I pledge no allegiance to a flag that suffocates a king
The curtain falls and i awake, oh can you hear those angels sing?
If im lonely can i pray for a girl?
Is there a god for the modern world?
A tainted ceiling for the warrior pope
Who spits and sweats in the church of no hope

I prayed to someone or something
And no one answers
Time on my knees, begging
Good lord

Its not the sinner, not the saint
Nor the holy jesus christ
Who turns water into wine
Thats the chemist

My thoughts of loneliness by my side
Ungodliness, i prayed so hard, pretend i died
If you brought me to her thoughts
Could i bring her to her knees?
If i fail would you know i lied?

Pushed out of the centre
Theres a kingdom of my own
Where men are losers
Where i fall there'll be no dome
And im looking for that salvation
Another swig of rum, rum, rum
And i'll fall, and i'll fall, and i'll fall
Through the city im on

I prayed to someone or something
And no one answers
Time on my knees, screaming
Good lord

Its not the sinner, not the saint
Nor the holy jesus christ
Who turns water into wine
Thats the chemist

I did really good.




Damn.


A 98.

On what?

I'm hoping for a 100 on my bio test I wrote yesterday. It was really easy, and I already know I got all the multiple choice questions right.

Good luck man!
