Highway to Hell is the only choice, if he doesn't have it.

Next we'll have a thread Metallica vs. Trixter

He's looking very relaxed. That is good.
I think it was nice of him to let his picture be taken. He didn't have to do that.
It's good to see him. Hope he's doing well.

Jimi Hendrix has my vote for the greatest ever.
As someone else once said, there's no one even in the same building as that guy...

One guy I know plays bass for a local band here, but he can play just about every instrument there is. Guitar, bass, drums, brass, wind, piano, you name it. He can sing too. He graduated from a music school, and has an amazing talent to write and play original music. His band released a couple CDs so far but hasn't really broken big.
Another girl I know has one of the most amazing voices I've ever heard, with a fantastic range. She plays guitar too, but she's never played or sang for more than a small venue audience. She made a few demo tapes, and is supposed to be putting together a CD soon.
One more guy I don't know too well puts together solo recordings. He plays piano, guitar, bass, drums, and also sings. He writes all his own songs, and his own lyrics. He used to put together these tapes of his stuff and I just couldn't stop listening to them. The hooks and melodies were just fantastic. The quality was terrible but it was that good that it didn't matter much.
I sometimes get the feeling that lots of people who make music (ironically enough
) don't seem to have any desire to make money with it. They just enjoy playing what they want, how they want, for who they want when they want. And their creative genius is never influenced by business plans. -
I was thinking about Chinese Democracy and I 've come to a realistic conclusion. For those who are hoping for the best rock album of all time you are deceiving yourselves. What you will get will be the best MODERN rock album. But in comparison to other old school bands and their albums it may be able to come in the ranks but it will not outdo them. What Axl is doing here is making the most effective modern rock album which has modern features whilst outdoing all the current stuff, as he could only get on the charts and video hits etc with modern stuff. He knows that with old style stuff he wouldn't get far so even if it is not good as the old stuff his purpose is just to get as famous as possible and get as big as they can.
They already made the best rock album of all time: Appetite for Destruction.
Now they are going to make one better: Chinese Democracy.
It's 15 years too late to second guess my own faith in Axl now; for better or for worse.
Charts don't matter. That's someone else's benchmark. And too often what's popular runs at right angles to what I'm listening to at the moment anyway.
I really don't give a shit if it sells or not. Axl puts his heart and soul into what he does, and that always translates into something I want to listen to.

We all know that there's a greater chance of pigs flying outside the window -- than there is of Axl calling up Slash on the phone to tell him the album release date first. So I started to wonder - why would Slash make this comment during the interview?
When I listened to the interview again, I realized Slash quickly followed the CD release date with a comment that VR's album would be coming out around the same time. Does anyone think that maybe Slash was challenging Axl to release it in March so that it would come out around the same time as VR's second album - and the two albums could then go head-to-head with each other on the charts? If this happened - do you think the two albums would sell the same? Or do you think one would totally outsell the other and "prove" GNR needs/doesn't need the original members?
Your thoughts?
This is the problem with rumours, and with information in general: the more people that have it or mention it the more credibility it gains; regardless of its validity.
I think it much more probable that he is just screwing around with the interviewer or with the fans in general.
Complex question: "do you think one would totally outsell the other and "prove" GNR needs/doesn't need the original members?"
I don't think album sales prove or disprove need for a reunion.What I want to know is how hard Slash would be laughing at us right now at this round table discussion we're having.

Even though nothing official has been said i'm still raising my hopes for it is the only thing i can do to keep CD alive in my heart. so i am sacrificing my own feeling for it!
You and everyone else on this board, in one way or another
Kudos to you for admitting it though.

Looks like he sold the Ferrari he had for sale.

Tough choice, but it really would have to be Clapton for me. I really like Gilmour, A LOT. But I just don't think Gilmour can stand on his own quite so good as Clapton. I might be biased, but I am much more transcended by Clapton's playing than I am by Gilmour, so I used that as my judge.

I'd have to say Pink Floyd has been my overall preference in the long run; it's just much more mellow and relaxing, not to mention it has some great lyrics to go with the songs. Albums like the Final Cut and the Wall make me think, and I like that. I usually have more of a need these days to listen to music that I don't have to blast to appreciate. Not that I don't occasionally, or that Pink Floyd doesn't have songs that sound better that way. I like to really turn up Interstellar Overdrive when the neighbors get annoying
It's just dead silence when they hear it and start to wonder....I am a big fan of AC/DC as well. No doubt about it, they are an electrifying act (no pun intended). It's great music, but in a different way. There's no better driving music! Some people think they're simple but I think that's a hasty generalization. Some of the best music out there is simple and well delivered; and that's very rarely done better in this genre than AC/DC. Music doesn't always have to be complicated to be good. One thing for sure: lots of times life is much better lived and more enjoyable when you get right down to bare essentials. AC/DC never fail to deliver. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. And there's just as much profoundness in their lyrics as in the Wall or any other, albeit somewhat different subject matter.

My favourtie track has to be Octovarium, a 20 minute plus symphnic rock masterpiece. Though A Change In Seasons is a close second.
-
James LaBrie has an album called elements of persuasion. and john petrucci has some solo work as well. Theres also something called liquid tension experiment that features Petrucci and Portnoy (guitarist and drummer in DT). If you like DT you might like those as well.
EDIT no i have not seen them live, i missed them when they came here last time, but they'll be back, and I'll be there!
-
Right here! Images and words, a change of seasons (the first song, the medley, is an amazing track), awake, six degrees of inner turbulence, they're all good. Those are some very talented musicians, and they're not afraid to have some heart in their music, which is why l like them so much.
EDIT fouled up one of the album names. hard to keep em all straight

Thought I'd update.. we got XP up and running smoothly, didn't go for the ram increase.. Itunes was a bitch to install , the shit with the disk kept screwing up, and I ended up downloading it off of the apple site.. I'm in the process of transfering cd's onto itunes, so yay.
<{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Cool. You'd want the latest version off Apple's site anyway; else as soon as you start it will connect to the internet and bug you to upgrade.
Make sure you're ripping CDs at minimum 160kbps if you're ripping AAC.

er, just noticed, sure it's not the 8570 C? it'll take up to 256 MB of RAM, two 128MB 3.3 volt, in case you go out looking
96MB sounds like it does that graphics shared memory thing, with 32MB of the 128 in your one stick being used for that
so probably just one more 128MB stick would do it. Won't handle more than that anyway.

Hmmm... like.. We checked XP reccomendation things on the web, and our comp. passed.
Hardware stats i guess are..
Well Ill just say its shit..
Its an HP Pavillion 8507 C
Intell Pentium 3
450 MHz
20 Gb
96 BG SDRAM
Yeah I know it's nothing really...
<{POST_SNAPBACK}>
No, dude, that'll work. Might try and find a RAM upgrade, though, check around and see if anyone sells SDRAM anymore, someone who does have it will probably sell it cheap. And you could always get a bigger HDD.
Won't matter much if you're just surfing the net and whatnot. Don't try to play Battlefield or Half-Life on it though
Pricewatch.com used to be a good site to find components, don't know if it's still up though.

Just being honest.
Maybe I should have picked Lone Kent's Granite & Sand.
