He does one mean Angus Young impersonation. :cool:

That kid is obsessed with AC/DC. Everytime we write new songs we end up cutting half of them because they're AC/DC rip offs.

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...

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.

Most people have some kind of difficulty in participating in actual band conversation. They like to able to post one line things, or list things.

Of a 20 page, 3,000 word essay I'm on my 4th page and 423rd word. It's going to be a long night :(

And for some reason I'm posting on MX?

Good morning/afternoon/evening, asswipes. How's everybody doin'?

Finally packed up to move, I never realized I had so much crap.

Don't worry, I suffered much the same problem most of last night. Luckily it was on a 1,500 word essay, but I have another to do for Wednesday now (and then another for Friday..and then two more for Monday).

I've got an exam tonight, another one tomorow, one on Thursday, and then I'm done.

I just got back from hanging out with my girlfriend. She looked hot as hell in a mini-skirt.

I came home and tried taking my pills, and for some reason I threw up :(

Me=awesome. :D

I'd rate it highly. Which one was the least expensive from that list?

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 :(

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.

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.

zepfan - nice list (for the most part, anyway :)).

So I'm playing in this talent show on wednesday, and it looks like I'm doing three songs: Wish You Were Here, maybe a Clapton one, and playing guitar for a kid singing "Lean On Me". So that'll be awesome, and I can't believe I was still allowed in, considering it's in two days.

I think you have your Clapton song right there :) (That's what I would do at least)

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 :))

My dad has always cut my hair. He does a pretty good job.
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.

There's always Layla unplugged ;)

Thread almost gets closed down, and some people still haven't learned.

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.

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.

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.

:lol: take a listen to this, it's Zakk Wylde's drunken ***...

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.

I didn't know you had a chick in your band? I've had horrible experience with it but if it works for you awesome hah.

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.

Ballet?

Hahaha...[i]fag[/i].

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.

[QUOTE=Bartender]I actually own the first two..but I thought you didn't like The Roots?[/QUOTE]

I wanted to give them another try.

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 [i]Phrenology[/i], 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.

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.

I like it...I'm starting to warm up to them a little more.

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.

They also covered Apache by Sugarhill Gang :)

They also cover Nirvana and Led Zeppelin.
