[QUOTE=Fast Fingers]I listen to a lot of progressive and avant-garde metal. after that just about anything, excluding country and oldies.[/QUOTE]
Have you ever listened to old country (aka "real" country) with like banjos and that sort of thing? It's actually very good, but the stuff you hear on the radio is just a lame ripoff and basically pop with a specific vocal style.

[QUOTE=gocaps99]well metallica is pretty harrison influenced. the soft part in mop? all harrison influence

who else influences you, in blues and classic rock

35 posts of what???[/QUOTE]
Eh, it's indirect then...

ZZ Top, Zeppelin, Hendrix are all bluesy influnces, otherwise it's stuff like Pink Floyd, The Who, that sort of stuff...too lazy to list em all though heh. But the more you listen to, the more you have to draw from. But my improv and soloing is all very blues based.

If by that you mean bluegrass and stuff, yes I have. My dad has a bunh of old records sitting around from when that was is thing.

white album influence, the very beginning of the soft part in MOP

My guitar influences are mainly...

Dave Mustaine
Marty Friedman
Dimebag Darrell
Alexi Lahio

I have some blues, etc. influences, but not as strong.

I have never heard the White Album to my knowledge. I am trying to put up a recording of a song I did, 1 second :)

[url]http://www.purevolume.com/zeppelinfan2k3[/url]

Song I just added is "Something New" for any interested (forgive me for sucking :()

Guitar influences:

Jeff Hanneman
Scott Ian
Gary Holt
Chuck Schuldiner
Bobby Gustafson
David Gilmore
Dimebag
Jim Durkin
Randy Rhoads

As you can see, I'm more of a rhythm guitarist than a lead.

That's actually pretty cool. It definitly doesn't suck.

Pfft, Sgt Peppers pwns.

Yeah, I messed up a lot, so it does to me...maybe I'm too much of a perfectionist, but...meh...such is improving solos.

I can never record stuff and be happy with it, because I'll notice every single little error. It has to be perfect, or I won't be happy with it. I'm only that way with guitar though.

Randy Rhoads and David Gilmore sure as hell aren't rhythm, I think those two alone balance out your lead and rhythm guitarness

I honeslty think that Sgt Peppers has a few good songs and the rest is just foolin around and/or stupid

I improve a lot too. I've only recorded two or three songs where i really practiced a solo, but i've gotten better at writing solos and tabbing what i play etc

ok ppl, it's 130 and i have to get a hair cut tomorrow (not all of it, just thinned...)

goodnight MX ppls :wave:

AH, I'm too much into the feel of the song to pre-plan...plus I suck at playing something pre-written, I like just doing what I'm feeling haha...I basically never play the same solo twice...unless it is really simple.

Yeah, I've never recorded drums so I couldn't say if I would be, but I'm willing to bet I would be...but ugh...so impossible to get 4 parts all in sync :(

I haven't really recorded anything but guitar, so I was refering to the other parts of my life. I'm sure I'd be the same way with most instruments though.

Save your money. Dont see Boogieman(sp?).

AH, I see...yeah, bout the same with me hah.

I rarely see movies in theaters, but especially lame looking ones :p

AHH, I just saw that too. It was pretty intense, but definitely a waste of money.

Edit: about boogieman.

Same goes for me drum-wise. Most people I see taking lessons just go in a room for 30 minutes trying to learn some song or something. My teacher did it way differen't.

Everyday for something like 6 months he'd tell me to play some random beat. I sucked at this at first, but I got good at it after awhile. Then everyday He'd write down the random beat I' play, and then say to play it 3 times and to make a fill out of no where. I do this myself now. Just sit down and play 3 bars then fill and see if I like it. I think that method is the best way to learn improvisation. I stuck with my teacher for 5 years now. I've only learned one song, everything else wasa just technique lessons to be thrown into stuff I improvise day to day.

Learning songs is great and all, but being able to sit down and play something out of the blue that sounds great is just awesome.

They tried way too hard ot be scary. The random noises/screen flashes werent scary, just annoying.

I never took lessons with drums yet, but I'd like to, but everything I do is improv. Even when I am playing along to a song, I fill where I feel appropriate, and make up my own beats to it. :)

[QUOTE=Gilmour]They tried way too hard ot be scary. The random noises/screen flashes werent scary, just annoying.[/QUOTE]

I agree, the random noises were over-doing it. The name kind of ruined it too. With "Boogieman" as the name of the movie, it kind of takes part of the scariness away. They definitly tried way too hard, although I did jump once or twice.

I hate this whole "horror" trend going on right now. You know, White Noise, Charlie, Boogieman, Hide and Seek, all of those are crap.

I need a "thought provoking question" for my english essay. Everytime I think of one it sounds like I'm implying the reader is gay.

A cinder block can be weightless in space. Would you want to kick it with your bare foot? Even if it is weightless, does it have mass?

After you die you are given the chance to be reborn as an animal, which animal would you choose?

Questions like those?

Yours is better than any I can think of. I might just turn that in, get the credit, and change it in my final draft.
