What's funny is that your job gives you minimal stress, I would guess.

I don't smoke (I recently smoke), but I don't like associating with most non-smokers.

I took the tech-death side too, for pretty much the same reason as Bobo. I don't listen to a large amoutn of death metal anyway, although I do listen to it.

[quote=Steepike]Oh, they will. Just not fast enough.[/quote]
:lol: That made me laugh. Good ol' Steepike.

[QUOTE=Illmatic]A lot of people aren't like that, though...there are tons of autograph-seekers who don't even want to interact with the autographer on any level...I just don't understand that.[/QUOTE]


That is true, and now I can see where you are coming from on that part. Especially when it comes to bigger name people is where it probably really happens.

But personally, getting autographs is not like that for me. It adds to the experience of going to a concert and also to show my appreciation as well.

Oh well.

I guess nowadays it's probably harder to do because they don't want to take the chance of letting some whacko get that close, but it's still a bummer.

I've gotten to actually talk to a few athletes, though, and personally I find that much more satisfying than getting an autograph from them.

I have yet to be able to talk to any musician that I listen to for more then 5 minutes. I got to chit chat with Adam from Killswitch Engage, and that was pretty nifty.

But I do agree with the last part of chatting with them would be alot cooler then just an autograph, but I never have had the chance to. So blah.


Edit :

Also, if any one has found the leak for the new Arcturus album Sideshow Symphonies, I do not want it, I [B]need it[/B].

It would be most appreciated if any one can keep an eye open for it.

So, I heard there was some useless spamming going on and it is pissin some people off in here. Lemme know when it happens and I'll 1 day ban them.

I've made a some fixes on my instrumental song if anyone would like to hear, altough I still think there's a bunch more fixing to do.

/whores good pit thread

I had my first day of school today, it actually wasn't that bad. My schedules pretty easy and I know people.

Anyway, I'm going to a Seether/Crossfade concert on Saturday. Has anyone seen them live before?

Not so fast. Chris (cjborton) has been working on his quite a bit as well, and he's become quite the beast lately with this kind of thing, and I bet it's gonna be quite interesting to see who tops who. (When power metal actually becomes the contest, that is.)

I really wish I could enter the contests. But even if I had the equipment, I still think it'll be another few years before I'm good enough to submit a song with even the slightest chance of making it past first round elimination.

NW: Clerks

My manager said I could relate to this movie(I work at a grocery store)

I would like to be a sort of "judge" when thrash becomes the next genre. This genre gets thrown around a bit too much for its own good.

I'm still hoping to set up a video contest sometime soon. I think it would be cool to see everyone's stage presence in R&M.

Perhaps as a sequel, I could set up a similar contest which involves making an actual music video for either an existing song or an MXer's original.

Anyway, I just finished up my latest composition, the first one since reading up on music theory. I'm really very pleased with it. It's an instrumental called Stardust. The thing that gets to me though was that even though I'm happy with it, I can't play it. When I sat down to try it out, I realized that the music in my head is several years ahead of me. :p

If anyone's interested, I could YSI you the file. You'd have to have GuitarPro for it to work, though.

Ha, thats exactly how I am. I got all of these bits of ideas in Guitarpro that I probably could never play at full speed.


If you upload it, ill give it a listen.

Yeah, I'd be really interested if you uploaded that. I've been doing a lot of writing in GP as well, it's a useful tool.

Here you go. I'd like some feedback on this. It's the first time since Order of the Dragon that I've really been all that satisfied with something I wrote.

[QUOTE=Jom]Sorry if this is late news, but how many of you would be up for fantasy football this year, similar to the one we had for the NCAA tourney?

EDIT: sorry to the Europeans, they probably aren't interested/don't care.

Also, would you want to play the actual fantasy football game, or the Pro Pick 'Em game, or both?

People in so far:

Jom
Lunch
Illmatic
RCA
Six Foot Revolver (hey, what the hell, right?)

Bumped for any last additions. Also, would you guys want a) a live draft or b) an offline draft?

This will also be through Yahoo!, by the way, just like the NCAA tourney.

Steerpike, I enjoyed Stardust quite a bit...as much as one can enjoy a midi output, anyway. I thought it suffered from a lack of variety in the are of the rhtythm guitar, and what I predict to be the sonics if a real instrumental was recorded. I have to wonder, though, why you have two keybaord tracks, both left blank.

I know there wasn't much in the rhythm section. I wanted to keep this one simple. I'm planning to get a little more ambitious with my next song.

As for the two keyboard tracks, I added them about an hour ago. I wanted a piano accompaniment, but I can't settle on anything that I like. I'll probably just take them out.

It was good overall, and it's cool that you could keep it simple. No matter how simple I begin with my songs, I always end up throwing a couple keyboard tracks, and at least 3 different guitar parts in there.

A lot of my composition have some sort of accompaniment from a keyboard. And they always feature a triple guitar line-up. Whether its because I want a fatter rhythm section, harmonized leads, or whatever reason.
