Yeah, I think it'll be fine. As long as people don't go around advertising it in other forums. Haha.

/starts a thread in R&M <_<

:p

I haven't counted nominations yet, but I can already tell some bands that are going to do well. RATM for example.

I don't think I even listed them...

They have a few good albums but the overall consistency wasn't good enough for me :-\

I only have their Self-Titled, but I enjoy it. Not enough to put them on my list though.

S/t is generally seen as their best so if that doesn't do it for ya...

I think Jom was trying to cheat the nomination process. :p

Hahaha, oh Jom. What a silly kid.

Hmm, as of now, 125 bands recieved multiple nominations, but only 66 received more than 2 nominations.

I don't exactly know how I should go about cutting down to 100. :(

Take the 70 or so bands with the same number of noms and make polls...I guess?

Put all of the names into a hat, and then send the hat to everyone on the committee. We take turns drawning names until we get to 100.

Even better...we could have a huge pop punk meet and all draw names then!

That might work, I guess. I'd need six polls, but that would probably be the fairest way to do it.

Good idea. We can hold it on the moon.

Right...that's all I got.

I was thinking China but I like your idea even better.

I think I'll end nominations right now, and put up the preliminary polls. I'll probably run them until Saturday morning. There's no need for them to go very long.

Sweet, I'll get my votes in before I go to bed :D

To make a poll, do I check the box that says insert a poll, and then submit the thread?

Sorry, I've never done it before.

NO WAIT DON'T

I mean yes.

Haha Joel you cunt.

Keep in mind if he messes up [I]you[/I] have to fix it :p

Psh sez who? It's my job to mess it up if he does it right!

no wai man...Spence'll beat u up

lolololol

Psh I can pull seniority on like half the mods here.

Also have you ever noticed how DBJ and I registered the same month? March 2002 was the month of POWER.

ANd good drummers.

haha, I'm terrible at drumset. Nothin' but rock for me :(

I was going to say percussionists but I thought you were good on set :-\

I haven't played set in like.... two years. I was able to fake my way through a gig last December but that's been about it.

Lame...you gotta be like Peart and incorporate the percussion all over a set and be like totally insane.

uh I'm not really focusing on that kind of setting right now

You can incorporate set in any style of music though...

I thought you were doing Jazz and some Latin though?

I'm playing Piano in the Big Band and Vibraphone in the Jazz Combo. I'd like to be more knowledgable as far as chords, comping, and harmonic improvisation go. But yeah I just started Latin Percussion lessons and that's going to be great.... but there's no set stuff, it's all about congas, timbales, bongos... all that good stuff.


And yes, you can incorporate set in any style, but it's not standard in every style besides like rock and jazz bands. I need to get better set chops but that's really not my focus right now.

Piano eh? Fun...I wish I could play piano :-\

Right, I figured you weren't getting [I]instructed[/I] on set, but I was saying you could incorporate it in that music. Or you can be cool like Santana and have 1 set player and like 2 percussionists besides.

Well Santana has a lot of rock going on in his music anyways. In a lot of the big Latin bands they just have a whole mess of percussionists.

Yeah, but seeing it live kicked. Every percussionist had a fabulous solo. Especially the drummer (Dennis Chambers).

But yeah I've been on a total Latin kick lately so I know all about the immense percussion going on in the more traditional music.

Yeah man it's so bad-A. I was doing "Basic Tumbao" in my lessons and it was kind of a mindfu[size=2]c[/size]k because the dominant beat is on 4. It takes some getting used to.

Wow, that was hardwork.

Hopefully this works out well.

Yeah...I still can't count, I'm all about feel, but once I nail the feel it's not too bad. Mind, Latin percussion can have some insane hard feels.

Yeah that's what I did. "Think later, play now!"

[QUOTE=PDWAB]Yeah that's what I did. "Think later, play now!"[/QUOTE]
right. plus it's a lot more natural when you're actually in a setting. People who rely too much on count can't improv well.

I wish they would have been in the poll with NWA. Then it would have been no question. But I like Lifetime slightly more than Dredg. :(

Dredg>NWA>all the other bands in that bad poll :-\

But still :(
