I just saw Alexander.

[QUOTE=Superpeer]I just saw Alexander.[/QUOTE]

I thought it was okay, but a bit drawn out.

[QUOTE=Ripper22]Well then, what's a movie you have seen? :)[/QUOTE]

Thats a bit too general.. :lol: I just havn't seen the one you were talking about.

[QUOTE=munky_magik]It's a thread asking which band people think are the best via the device of a poll. The rules clearly state no Favourite/best of threads etc.... so it's in violation of them.

Also, since it is a random grouping of bands and has no clear purpose it doesn't have a lot going for it.[/QUOTE]

plus it belongs in the jam session

[QUOTE=Iron Man]I thought it was okay, but a bit drawn out.[/QUOTE]

Yes, my thoughts exactly. It wasn't bad, but just average. Too bad, it was a great subject to make a film about.

Was it better than Troy?

We watched Troy in class last week. I thought it was good (although it didn't follow the whole Iliad correctly), but I couldn't stand their accents. It was like everyone had different ones, and sometimes Brad Pitt dropped his all together.

Also, didn't somebody in R&M recently go to an Eric Johnson concert? I was wondering if he's on tour or something.

HAHAHA, that's quite silly!

Forgive my ignorance, What are Blast Beats?

Hopefully someone else will be able to explain it better for you, but I'll give it a go. I know what they are, I just don't think I can explain it well. Basically they are high speed drumming done mainly on the snare drum. Usually the tempo is over 200bpm. A good example of blastbeats is Mayhem - Buried by Time and Dust.

Another (more accessible) example is the beginning of Dragonforce - Fields of Despair

It's pretty hard to explain but that was a good attempt. I can recognise them but I can't explain.

Same here, they will usually pop out at me because they don't sound in-time with the rest of the song. (To me at least)

They're one of things thats hard to explain but easily recognized.

[QUOTE=jpjrulestheworld]It seem like there are much more rational ways to deal with that.[/QUOTE]

Like what?

[QUOTE=munky_magik]
It was the ignore everyone pit in the thread.[/QUOTE]

Hehe.

A lot of musical techniques are hard to explain, but easy to recognise

[QUOTE=Bartender]Like what?[/QUOTE]
Go to Congress and raise hell?

Oh, you mean for the pissed off General to do. Thought you meant ways for them to deal with said pissed off General.

Oh shi.. I never noticed that. Stupid typos.

I don't know if any of you have seen the At The Gates website or not, but it's pretty funny.
