			<title>New video: JON GOMM - Loveproof</title>
			<link>http://www.guitar.com/forums/bands__artists/topic/new_video_jon_gomm__loveproof</link>
			<description><![CDATA[Hello! My name's Rob, I work for a little indie record label which is going to be concentrating on acoustic guitar music from now on. So I thought I’d make myself known to the forum!

Our latest release is 'Don't Panic' by Jon Gomm, who’s very highly regarded in the UK, and we’re hoping soon worldwide too. To accompany the album we've made a video for the song 'Loveproof'. I’d really appreciate your comments/criticism on it:


(The video’s been made to promote his new album, by the way, which you can listen to and order from here: http://www.jongomm.com/music.html )

I hope you enjoy the video, and let me know what you think! I really want the feedback and will be reading it and responding.

			<title>How to screw up a music competition</title>
			<link>http://www.guitar.com/forums/bands__artists/topic/how_to_screw_up_a_music_competition</link>
			<description><![CDATA[1. Let the song be a self comp
2. Dont practice it.
3. MAke the vocalist scream for hours before the concert, so that he loses his voice
4. Forget to have a soundcheck when you start
5. Accidentally forget to tune one of the guitars, and figure out that its out of tune as the song starts. So, get the guitarist playing it to stop playing. 
6. Have the bassist suddenly change key
7. Take revenge by forcing him to play a solo, which will hopefully sound like crap.
8.Then start guitar wanking for so long that the people who are filming the video get bored and turn off the camera

9. Announce that it was all intentional

The end result : http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=190523465427&ref=nf]]></description>

			<link>http://www.guitar.com/forums/bands__artists/topic/freak_kitchen__land_of_freaks</link>
			<description><![CDATA[AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


I have no other words after hearing that album, from the oddest time signatures and riffs, heavy as hell 'C' tuned Caparison guitar madness, excellent melodic songs, words based on human nature and recent events, excellent rhythm section, jeez the list just goes on about whats brilliant about this.

It was released there just the day after my birthday and I have had it on non-stop.

Mattias is a Phenomenal guitar player and this album just rules, thats all I can say.


"Honey Your A Nazi" is my favourite track about racist 'soccer-moms' . 


And "Teargas Jazz" is playing that I could only wish to be able to produce. 


Dammit Mattias........]]></description>

			<title>Highway Robbery</title>
			<link>http://www.guitar.com/forums/bands__artists/topic/highway_robbery</link>
			<description><![CDATA[Highway Robbery “For Love or Money”. Does anyone remember this old band from 1972?

I almost tossed this pristine old album in the junk pile but played it just for kicks and man do these boys rock for an old school group.

Apparently this was the only album that they made and come to find out its quite a collector’s item! They recorded it to CD later on and the CD it’s widely available but the LP’s are very scarce. 

This band could have easily ended up being a mega rock group. It would be interesting to know what went wrong with them. Maybe someone on here can tell the story.

			<title>new KISS ablum</title>
			<link>http://www.guitar.com/forums/bands__artists/topic/new_kiss_ablum</link>
			<description><![CDATA[Anyone here heard Sonic Boom yet?

What do you think?

I picked it up at Walmart on Sunday and have to admit I was quite impressed with it.   Definately sounds like a classic Kiss album.  The boys delivered.  I think a lot of this is due to Tommy Thayer's blatant similarities to Ace Frehley...the only way it could be closer is if Ace himself was involved.

Normally I'd have an issue with a guy sounding too much like his predecessor in a band.  I like to hear a band's sound evolve with the lineup changes...but in this case, I guess I can accept it.  Gene and Paul never intended to record another album when Tommy joined and they looked for a guy that sounded (and looked) as close to Ace as they could find to keep the concerts looking and sounding as authentic to the band's classic 70's era as possible.

If you get it at Wally-world you also get a second cd of classic Kiss recorded by the current lineup and a 6 song dvd with clips from one of their recent concerts.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[i just listened to endgame, and when i played 44 minutes i thought...shit!!! megadeth stole my idea!!! im halfway through making a song about the north hollywood shootout, i thought it would be a totally original idea, then i play that song and it didnt take me long to realize that its about...you guessed it! THE NORTH MOTHERFUCKING HOLLYWOOD SHOOTOUT!!! i hope that nobody else is able to figure that out so i can still make my song about the same thing!! haha..but anyways endgame is an epic record!! i love the lyrics to all the song and dave plays some pretty killer leads!! and words cant even describe chris broderick's leads!

also, on an semi-related note, has anyone listened to dethklok? i just started listening to them, and some of their lyrics are kinda goofy/funny (they are supposed to be). they have some of the most amazing harmony guitar lines ive ever heard and they have some really kick ass shred/metal leads..take a listen----------------------------------------------------------»]]></description>

			<title>Hey Everybody! I\'m new... sort of.</title>
			<link>http://www.guitar.com/forums/bands__artists/topic/hey_everybody_im_new_sort_of</link>
			<description><![CDATA[Hey folks, it's been a long time since I was on guitar.com and it's changed alot.  I've been playing guitar for 10 years, and I just started using the internet again after about 5 years of doing other stuff.  I've got a rock band out of Columbia Missouri called Counterfeit Heroz and even though we haven't gotten alot of recognition yet, it's still the most fun I've ever had playing music with my friends.  I'm not that great of a guitar player (pretty sloppy to be honest) but I'm getting better all the time.  By the way, for some reason the background of guitar.com is white on my browser and it makes the light grey menus at the top kind of hard to read.

Anyway, I just started a website for my band recently and I'd like some advice, I'm sort of a computer novice and so programming the web pages in HTML on notepad has been tough.  Anybody know any good free message boards available that a dummy can figure out how to set up?

My website is at www.counterfeitheroz.com I've got a video of my band playing for a local public access TV station and a bunch of audio from our recent shows if you want to check it out.

Later dudes.  Oh yeah, my old guitar.com name was stratobastard in case anybody remembers.]]></description>

Well with all the talk of AIC, Megadeath, and Metallica floating around I thought you might find this interview to be pretty cool, seems Metallica want to stil put another album?

AIC album = just sick, the riffs are great
Megadeth = headcrusher sounds good, wonder what else they have...

all I can say is these old bands are kicking the ass out of the new modern bands in my opinion :D

			<title>New Alice In Chains cd out today</title>
			<link>http://www.guitar.com/forums/bands__artists/topic/new_alice_in_chains_cd_out_today</link>
			<description><![CDATA[I just picked up the AIC because I was curious about how they sound with their new singer and was pleasantly surprised.

It's evidently clear that Jerry Cantrell is the guy that the band can't do without.... vocal-wise the band still sounds relatively the same thanks to his vocals (both backing and when he sings lead).  And then there's the guitar... I've always loved Jerry's guitars, both the riffs and the sound of his guitar.

As for the new singer, he wisely avoids trying to sound like Lane Staley.  I think a lot of fans would reject something like that.  He sounds great though, a good fit for the band.  I think these guys are going to go down as one of the few bands who managed to change frontmen and survive as a band.]]></description>

			<title>Megadeth</title>
			<link>http://www.guitar.com/forums/bands__artists/topic/megadeth</link>
			<description><![CDATA[read an interview w Mustaine in Guitar World last night and apparently he's planning to retire after he fullfill his record contract.

They've just recently released a new cd and he said he's got one more to go and then he's done.

I don't know if I totally believe him though... how many times has a musician said he was going to retire and then doesn't.  

Ozzy tried to retire and failed miserably in the early 90's... The Who retired 100 times... Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons have been on their final tour for the last 9 years and are about to release 1 more studio album.

Alice Cooper has vowed to never retire until the Rolling Stones retire... he says since they're about 6 years older than him on average, he plans to wait until they've retired for 6 years before he calls it curtains.

I bet if Metallica released one more album after he releases what he calls his last, his tendancy to compete with them will inspire yet another Megadeth album.]]></description>

			<link>http://www.guitar.com/forums/bands__artists/topic/creedback_togethernew_album</link>
			<description><![CDATA[I've never been a big Creed fan, and I thing Scott Stap (sp) is a douche, but I did get an older album and there's a lot I missed. Some of their singles turned me of vocally.
Tremonti's follow up band Alter Bridge kicks major booty though!!
So anyhoo... I had heard a little while back that Creed was getting back together. Someone at work told me yesterday that he heard the new single on XM/Sirrius
So I went to the horses mouth so to speak. The new single is Overcome and you can listen to it on the web site.
The new album is Full Circle and is due out Oct 27, 2009. I might have to get it.
So I just though I would give a heads up to any Creed fans that didn't already know :)
I just hope Alter Bridge keeps on. Everyone has side projects these days LOL]]></description>

			<title>Releasing A Single</title>
			<link>http://www.guitar.com/forums/bands__artists/topic/releasing_a_single</link>
			<description><![CDATA[Hey everyone! I have a quick, simple question to ask you guys.

I have two singles that I'm going to be releasing on iTunes and Rhapsody. The release date for both singles is November 3rd, 2009. I plan on releasing a sneak peek video of ONE of the singles on September 1. I'm just wondering, how much time should I leave between that sneak peek video and when I actually upload the song online (myspace, purevolume, etc) for my fans to hear?

I feel like I'm making a big deal out of nothing. I'm just having a hard time deciding when to release everything. I don't want to leave TOO much time between the sneak peek video and when I upload to myspace. But at the same time, I don't wanna release them too close together! I want to have enough time in between for everyone to work up some excitement.

What do you think?

Sneak peek video for song #1: Sept 1
Upload song #1 to Myspace, Purevolume, etc: ???
Sneek peek video for song #2: undecided
Songs Release date on iTunes and Rhapsody: Nov 3]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Buckethead.....my lord and master..........has never written a song about love. This blew me away when I realized it. I was going through my iTunes looking for a song because I was feeling a feeling of love for a special somebody and I turned to the man that has always brought me happiness,sadness,Insanity and compassion but as I slowly ran down the list listening to each song in my head as I went I realzed that there was not a song of love. I laid back in my chair disgruntled and in shock that the man I idolized had never ever written a song about love. That he somehow managed to influence me without a doubt into writing everything my heart desired. But all through the months and years I listened I felt something was amiss. I could never figure it out. And now I know what it is. I want a love song by Buckethead. I want a song that I can sit down with my lady,turn on and enjoy with her. But I......I just couldn't find it within my library of Buckethead. The 70+ songs that i have do not contain one about love. Somebody e-hug me please cause its what I need right now. Also "I Love My Parents" does not count because its about his parents. I was looking for something about a man and his lady.]]></description>

He's truely an amazing singer/songwriter with such a refreshing take to accoustic playing (to the extent where before he was even signed, Jimmy Page asked for his autograph!)

			<description><![CDATA[Well, me and my few friend wanted to make a band, but 2 of the 5 quit, 1 can only come every 2 weekends, and its just me and my other guitarist friend who are pretty much there most of the time.
Even with these crappy situations, we still want to make this work out, but the biggest problem is a name....
We are probably gonna play AC/DC, Led Zeppelin, GNR, and some older stuff like that, some nice rock...

Any name suggestions or even word that sound cool???

Also, this is a highschool band that we are making, any suggestions about finding members, practicing and the like?]]></description>

Maybe its because I don't do drugs. Maybe its because I'm American and just don't get it. I'm man enough to relize that the majority do not agree with me but I still just can't stand any of their songs.

			<title>Jazz Gig Today</title>
			<link>http://www.guitar.com/forums/bands__artists/topic/jazz_gig_today</link>
			<description><![CDATA[Well, I had less than a week to get ready for it. I'm playing in a small coffee house with backtracks, pretty much all jazz stuff. My version of Jazz and Blues anyways. All instrumental, me, my guitar, a Boss GT8 an amp and my Macbook pro. Gonna be interesting. The playing space is SO small, it's almost laughable. I don't know if there's even going to be anyone there... hahaha Well, all good. It'll be about an hour or so of music, then I bet they throw me out anyways. I plan to play lots of solo guitar in between each of the tunes, so it should be interesting. Maybe I should bring the VS880 so I can record the audio separate and in a higher quality, I dunno...

I'm gonna videotape it, so maybe I'll post some later on. The covers I'm playing are
"So What"  - Miles Davis
"Solar" - Miles Davis
"Giant Steps" - John Coltrane

The rest is original stuff, some of which I have on my "myspace" page http://www.myspace.com/scottkerrguitar (Not the vocal stuff this time around, but the jazzy stuff)

So wish me luck, dudes. lol No matter what I plan to have a lot of fun with it!

			<title>Which guitarists/musicians have improved to you?</title>
			<link>http://www.guitar.com/forums/bands__artists/topic/which_guitaristsmusicians_have_improved_to_you</link>
			<description><![CDATA[Not from this site, but famous players.  It seems to me that many players seem to always play the same musically and technically.  Like Kenny Wayne Shepherd plays exactly the same way now and the same style of music as he did when he was a kid.  It's maybe a little more fluid, but it's really no different musically or technically.  I always assumed rich famous musicians had countless hours to practice on their instruments.  Anybody you listen to that you've seen a significant improvement over the years?

Anyway, my vote goes to the Beatles.  If you listen to their early albums, it's clear that they can barely even play their guitars properly.  By Abbey Road, George Harrison has become a damn fine guitarist.  Joe Perry of Aerosmith also comes to mind.  ]]></description>

I play guitar and I guess i am an intermediate play, my friend played guitar for a little while but he can play piano/keyboard. My friend's friend has been playing drums for about 3 months. Finally, A girl I know plays bass.
I currently need to find a vocalist, but since I am only in middle school, I don't know anyone that really wants to sing because it is too embarrassing and what not.

Everyone except the bassist has pretty much agreed to this, how can I convince my friend to play bass?
Also, how can I find a vocalist, what kinda of equipment should we buy, and where and how should we find places to preform?


PS: Should we practice at the drummer's house, cause I dont really think a drummer can bring his drums around easily...]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7SCt8JPAkgU

I personally believe Trini Lopez's guitar strumming ability and his mastery of the groove is phenomenal. He plays with so much feeling and his presence is very strong when he's on stage. He's also an incredible vocalist. His ego may be a little bigger than most but for good reasons. He had his own signature Gibson model, so...

John Petrucci has never really impressed me as a musician. I've never really seen the "talent" everybody else sees in him. I feel he is technical on stage and the feeling isn't natural. It feels really artificial, like the excessive practicing of technique is doing the work for him. Plus, he's riding the coat tails of John Myung.]]></description>

			<title>Jimi Hendrix Soloed Track - Wind Cries Mary</title>
			<link>http://www.guitar.com/forums/bands__artists/topic/jimi_hendrix_soloed_track__wind_cries_mary</link>
			<description><![CDATA[OK...  Remember...  This was recorded with the whole band.  Multiple tracks were not like they are today and when musician's recorded, it wasn't, "Let's do the drums and bass first and then we can lay down guitar before the vocals."  Things were recorded "live" in the studio so everyone had to be on and going back to "punch in" wasn't an easy option.

If it weren't Jimi, this would suck.  I also will say it's pretty good "proof" that the man wasn't a "god" when it came to technique.  His strength came from innovation and performance, NOT from his playing.

That being said, there's also a fair amount of guitar hiss and the track is further degraded by conversion to MP3.  Still you can hear the buzz, the missed fingerings and other flubs.

And don't get me wrong here.  I think Jimi was a great pioneer and love his stuff, but like anyone else, (maybe not Beck or Vai,) if you break it down in the studio, you can find plenty to cringe about.

			<description><![CDATA[Hi guys, I could do with some advice.... Last night I watched Zappa does Zappa, this is Dweezil playing Frank basically. It was truly brilliant and at one point Mr Vai came on and played a bit! It got me thinking, I dont own a Zappa album... I know why, because I want to hear him play guitar and not churn out all that bizzarre self indulgent crap!!! So, what is the best Zappa album to buy solely on his guitar playing and good arrangements?!! 

Thanks guys, Greg.]]></description>

			<title>Steve Vai - Naked Tracks</title>
			<link>http://www.guitar.com/forums/bands__artists/topic/steve_vai__naked_tracks</link>
			<description><![CDATA[I couldn't find any previous references to this on g.com

Steve Vai is releasing all his albums as backing tracks. Eventually there will be tab books for each album too. I know of a couple of guitar sites which were served "take-down" orders for Steve Vai material over the last 12 months, presumably clearing the way for the Naked Tracks (that's what the backing track albums are called) and the Tab books. Is this just Steve's way of taxing all the people on YT who cover his songs? Or just the laziest possible way of releasing 10 new albums? Is this the shape of the future? We already have Paul Gilbert albums accompanied by instructional DVDs. Will all the guitar gods follow this pattern?

In fairness to Steve, the albums are only $7.99, which makes the price of individual backing tracks quite reasonable. (On Amazon, you can d/load individual trax for 89cents) Compare this with the prices charged by outfits like LickLibrary - some of their vids work out to almost 8-10 dollars/song.]]></description>

			<link>http://www.guitar.com/forums/bands__artists/topic/bethany__rufus_to_play_third_thursday_coffeehouse_series</link>
			<description><![CDATA[Cello & vocal, roots duo Bethany & Rufus will perform at the 'Third Thursday Coffeehouse' Series at The Blackrock Center for the Arts on Thursday, April 16. Presented by MoFolk Music Productions, Third Thursday Coffeehouse enters its 7th season presenting an exciting mix of folk music!

BETHANY & RUFUS | THIRD THURSDAY COFFEEHOUSE
Thursday, April 16, 7:30 PM
BlackRock Center for the Arts
12901 Town Commons Drive
Germantown, Maryland
http://www.blackrockcenter.org/show/show_items/view/8
Info: 304-267-7963
Tickets: $22 (advance); $27 (door)
Purchase Tickets: http://tinyurl.com/cjvwhq

"When Bethany Yarrow and Rufus Cappadocia join forces on stage, watch out. The combination — or should that be combustion? — of their incredible talents sparks a fire-in-the-belly, soul-stirring experience with American folk music that lingers long after the concert ends. Bethany just happens to be the daughter of Peter Yarrow (of Peter, Paul and Mary fame)—and a powerful folk musician in her own right, able to re-invent the old songs and make them her own. Rufus started playing the cello as a three-year-old and has dared to go where few cellists have gone before—tapping into the heart of world music with the five-string electric cello he designed. Separately, they’re amazing. Together, they’re unbelievable." Third Thursday Coffeehouse
http://www.mofolk.com/BlackRock.htm

"Unbelievable!" is the word most used by audiences when first hearing Bethany & Rufus whose cello and voice duo breaks new musical ground, sliding with seamless ease between groove, jazz and a gritty, unvarnished approach to traditional folk music. With its often exuberant and sometimes achingly sad songs, their debut CD, "900 MILES" blends Bethany Yarrow's hauntingly beautiful yet explosively powerful voice with the mind-blowing, genre-bending cello playing of Rufus Cappadocia, pushing the boundaries of American roots music far into unexpected territory where intense groove meets sweet, heartbreaking soul.

			<title>Alexander Shulgin - Triptych, Part II</title>
			<link>http://www.guitar.com/forums/bands__artists/topic/alexander_shulgin__triptych_part_ii</link>
			<description><![CDATA[By Will J.B. Cohn, MusicDish e-Journal

Considering that people these days have an insatiable desire to be entertained at all times (part of the ADD generation that kids are growing up in), it's hard to believe that a minimalist album will hold a listeners attention for very long. With the absence of bass and drums, the music is extremely exposed, and there is risk of boring the listener to death. However, if performed by the right musicians (in this case Gary Husband and Martin Taylor) and composed by a talented composer like Alexander Shulgin, it can be a unique listening experience.

Alexander Shulgin's Part 2 of his new album Triptych is a minimalist album, with only a single musician on all tracks, except the last. All the songs are Shulgin's compositions, but Gary Husband (a well-known jazz multi-instrumentalist) is the one performing them on piano. Over the years Gary Husband has played for many of the jazz heavyweights out there, including Allan Holdsworth, John McLaughlin, Mike Stern, and Billy Cobham.

What makes the album most effective is the combination of Shulgin's strong compositions along with the creative interpretation of these compositions by Husband. For instance, while the second track, "Primadonna", contains the dark and ominous chord voicing of Shulgin, Husband is incorporating bluesy licks in the open space. On "Snowstormie", the chords are characteristic of Shulgin, but the jazz lines that are played over these chords are clearly Husband's ideas coming into play. Sometimes, different musical ideas clash, but in this case, the choices that Husband makes as the player and the choices that Shulgin makes as the composer complement each other, and mesh into a strong finished product.

The last track, entitled "Woman's Happiness Theme" features the guitar playing of Martin Taylor, a well-known British jazz guitarist, whose warm and clean sound adds a welcome and long-overdue new layer to the sound of the acoustic piano. Throughout the track, Taylor and Husband give each other room to breath. When Taylor is playing lead, Husband takes a back seat, providing the chords in the background and allowing Taylor to show-off his jazz chops.

The addition of Martin Taylor works so well that I find it surprising that he plays on only the last song. In fact, since Taylor is most well known as a solo performer, I wouldn't mind if one or two tracks were just him. Although the acoustic piano sound is easy on the ears, after several tracks in a row, the album appears to be a craving a different color, and this craving is satisfied only at the very end. Regardless, Shulgin's compositions are strong enough to get past the repetitive timbre, and along with Husband's creative interpretation of the compositions, the album is a success. And, depending on how ADD you are, it should hold your attention.

http://guitars.musiciansfriend.com/product/ESP-KH2-Kirk-Hammett-Ouija-Electric-Guitar?sku=580895

Don't get me wrong.  I really like the Hetfield model.  It looks really good.  I don't own a non-American guitar but I would consider buying this one.  BUT NOT FOR 10,000 DOLLARS!!!!!

Seriously...you guys give me a profile of the man that is going to buy these.  Certainly not anyone I know.  I think that the guitar community should come up with a name for the guys that buy these.  The bikers have RUBs (Rich Urban Bikers) to identify the CEOs among them.  What can we call the guitarists who collect these things and display them in the parlor or in their corner office?

I can remember when these guys were stupid kids...now their are an enterprise unto themselves.  I haven't bought one of their CDs since the Black album and I don't even have that one anymore.  What happened?  Did Bob Rock happen?  Is that what it is?  Is Bob Rock responsible for this?  This is not the Metal Malitia that I knew in '90.

My only complaint would be that the merchandise booths were pretty chaotic, and I missed most of Rime of The Ancient Mariner (insert sad face here) just trying to score a tour shirt.  

But overall, they put on a great show.  I've never seen a tighter band live.  And good old Bruce Dickinson...he must be one of the most physically fit guys in the world, for his age.  Dude ran around the stage like a lunatic for the entire show.  I was entertained.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Well it looks like i was in the right place at the right time. I just got the job playing bass for these guys, a decently established local act. I am already good friends with them, and just happened to be there for them when their bass player got a rockstar ego. Unfortunately, the videos on the myspace no longer work :-(

I feel as though they were already a solid act, even though their bass player was lacking, and hopefully now, they (we) can go to the next level musically. We are going to start recording in a few weeks, so I am going to have plenty of time to build some new improved basslines for them.

*This is what seals the deal- - - - - - - - May 2nd, we are the opening act for the Clarks!* - - - - - - - - more details soon.

i guess the URL form is whacko, so here it is to copy and paste www.myspace.com/brokenontario]]></description>

			<title>Punk- Bass</title>
			<link>http://www.guitar.com/forums/bands__artists/topic/punk_bass</link>
			<description><![CDATA[I just quit my Christian Progressive rock (due to the lead guitarist being an egocentric-maniac) and formed a politically charged punk band called Plead the Fifth but we are having problems finding a bassist. I have a committed singer and drummer but nobody is willing to play bass. So, I came up with the idea of punk minus the bass. Bass is kind of crucial to punk so I don't know if it is gonna work out. What do you guys think? Is this a good idea or should we keep looking for a bassist?]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[This song is being covered by Mr. Big, but was originally done by David Lee Roth on his first album after the Roth/VH split. I've always wondered if this song was about Eddie Van Halen. I would have posted Roth doing it but there's only one version and the audio is horrible.

On the stage I'm in a rage
But you I never fool
Well I can rock with anyone
But never alone with you
Somethin' starts a barkin'
Now deep inside of me
I need a classy woman
To knock me off my feet

(chorus)
Shyboy, shyboy, shyboy, shyboy
Shyboy, shyboy, give it one more time boy
Shyboy, shyboy, shyboy, shyboy
Shyboy, shyboy, give it one more time boy

Oh, you make me nervous
More than I had planned
Would you wanna know me
If I wasn't in the band
Crazy feeelings
Deep inside of me
I need a wild woman
To knock me off my feet

(chorus)

Gotta keep things moving
Till my personality starts improving

			<description><![CDATA[This is a song by "Jim's Big Ego" which I'm sure many of you have heard. Being a conservative I don't care for where the song is aimed, but I wish I had done this song. There are a few people that I have crossed paths with who REALLY need to have this song performed just for them. Now I didn't post this song to get into a political debate, but if you happen to enjoy who it's aimed at that's fine. I grew up with a guy who's doing 50 years for rape. I hated him then and I hate him now!!! But he's somebody's bitch until he's 80 years old so screw him! If I had written this song, I would have written it for him. If this were your song, who would you dedicate it to?]]></description>

			<title>if only they chose a different name</title>
			<link>http://www.guitar.com/forums/bands__artists/topic/if_only_they_chose_a_different_name</link>
			<description><![CDATA[Just a thought,

we all must have a band that holds a special place for us, they didn't make much of a blip on the music industry radar but we really enjoyed them and can't help but think if they chose a different name, maybe they would have been huge.  

List em people. :)

my pick: 

Budgie - they released their first album in 1971 and are most known for being one of Metallica's early influences.  Metallica even covered 2 of their songs (Breadfan and Crash Course In Brain Surgery).  I would place their 70's sound somewhere between Black Sabbath and Led Zepplin.  Basically a heavey blues band.  The group released 10 albums over about as many years during the 70's and early 80's.  They reformed in the late 90's or so and released another studio album and have toured off and on since.  

I don't care much for their 80's output because I don't like the synth parts, but it still has it's moments and listening to all of their material you can definately see how they impacted Metallica.

I think if they'd chosen a different name more people may have taken them seriously.  I can only wonder how many people checked these guys out not expecting such a heavy sound (for the 1970's that is) and didn't like it or just never gave them a chance when they may have really enjoyed the band.]]></description>

			<link>http://www.guitar.com/forums/bands__artists/topic/screamchris_cornell</link>
			<description><![CDATA[It's a pile of utter wank.


I love the heady days of Soundgarden, I adore Euphoria Morning, I liked the Audioslave stuff enough to go see them in Dublin, the last solo effort was a little hit and miss, but by God is this woeful.

Yes, I like change, it's what pushes us to learn, to experiment, to take new directions. But this is one junction where Chris took a wrong turn. Getting 'Timbaland' to do this album was like getting Slayer to do Sesame Street. Wrong-diddly-wrong-wrong.

I swear it's like a Madonna album with the old bat taken out (not literally, although I'm hoping she lives near a clock-tower so Metal can have a pop) and put Chris in. His voice seems very flat these days, and this music doesn't do it any justice at all.

I registered my disgust on his Myspace, which I know he reads personally. Told him that by the third track I had to turn it off before something horrible took place involving my stereo equipment and the window basically. 

Ah well, shows we can't win them all, I'll bet someone likes it, that someone just isn't me.

			<title>Road / Stage Manager planning for Bands!!!!</title>
			<link>http://www.guitar.com/forums/bands__artists/topic/road__stage_manager_planning_for_bands</link>
			<description><![CDATA[For any Band,  Band rehearsals, to the extent you can do them, are invaluable to work out whatever polish for performance, you might want to work on. ....However, they also have other benefits you should be aware of, and take advantage of as well!!!

In the mid 80’s I was the Road Manager for a friend’s local NJ band “Wenlock.” ....And as such they used to practice in Derek Taylor’s ( Stage name variation of his name ) basement for rehearsals. ...It was perfect, ...because we had a stage sized place to rehearse  what was possible to do.

Because KISS ( keep it simple, ..stupid!!!! ) really does apply. ....because everyone always gets Band image and performance ideas, ....And then there is reality to deal with!!!!

....We had experimented with the use of “Flash Pots,” ...which indeed sounds great, and do work fine, ....but they take up space on stage, ...and yet lead to other questions, ...as each flash pot has to be preloaded with it’s particular charge, ....and do you want the expense and trouble of a series of flash pots, which can be controlled via a cable set up, and light show technician, or the portable Electronic, self contained flash pots, run on “AA” batteries, with a glow plug to ignite flash cotton, which ignites the charge, ....and is activated by a footswitch within only so many feet from the flash pot itself!!!!

Our decision was easy, ....( We did not have a budget for anything but the more simple self contained, individual, electronic variety of flash pot. ) ....However, Flash pots don’t seem good enough for some people, ...And they wind up with these crazy ideas of large flames, or sparkling effects, ....And wind up burning clubs down to the ground?????

And when you plan for all of these extra “Floor Space Intensive” ideas, as well, as more “Staging” to worry about, .....You neglect the other “Disasters” which can show up!!!! ...I remember we also played around with some stage lighting effects as well, .....But nowadays they have these lower temperature LED based, programmable effects versions of lighting effects cans, ....Which are a hell of a lot more complex than what we were dealing with at the time. ( And some of this new tech, makes me feel like we were using Whale-oil Wick-Powered lambs, inside of our light-can spots!!!! LOL ) 


....I remember this one show, when Wenlock was playing a Biker Party, ...for some Bikers who liked the Band, ...So far so good, ...When the Drummer’s Snare-Drum snare spring broke, ....I had to rush up, was given the OK to grab the snare, ...And had to change out the snare spring???? ...who would foresee such a problem might occur???? Lucky the drummer had enough sense to carry spare parts, like a snare spring!!!!


You never know what kind of troubles might arise, and need to practice for “Disasters” if you are clever!!!! ....I remember one show, ...in which it was a Jersey Shore Amphitheatre, ....the Band that was onstage before Wenlock wound up “Blowing” the main breaker for the stage, .....And lost all power period!!!!, ....they lost everything!!!!, ....And until power was restored they sang “Acappella” to really entertain the audience with their effort!!!!! ....But then again, how many bands have enough good singers in them, to sing “Acappella” for an audience, while waiting for power to be restored????


So having a space to rehearse, and find out if too many stage moves, lead to microphone and guitar cables becoming tangled, or if using wireless, do you have back up contingencies, if and when it screws up, etc.., etc.., etc..,

I remember when Wenlock had the gig to open up for Cinderella, in their favorite club to play in Camden NJ, (  if I remember correctly, ) while their first album was in post-production, ...And I remember the one guitar players set up, seemed to be a stereo split to left and right stage side Full Stack Amplifiers, with a very slight ( so many mille-second ) delay Between the right and left sides of the stage, and a ( so many mille-second ) delay between right and left Full Stack Amplifiers on the left side of the stage, and likewise for the Full Stack Amplifiers on the right side of the stage, ..apart from the PA system, ....Which resulted in the “Fattest” Club-Sound I had ever heard for guitar, ....And yet when they went on the Road on their Arena-Sized-venue tour, to open up for Van Halen, ...their unique Club-Sound, ...became the standard large-Venue sound everyone has the same potential of having, ....leveling the playing field for them and everyone else who plays such large venues!!!!

I also remember all the Clubs From Staten Island to NYC to Long Island, Rob the guitar player, who’s band it was, and I used to go visit all of the time to check out bands, when not on Wenlock-Time!!!! ....And all of the bands who had heeded the direction of good Stage / Road managers, ....to make it as simple and foolproof as possible!!!! ....these bands, in their setups from Guitar players, Dual Full Stack Setups ( on the various stage sides a guitar player was on, for example, )  ....In setting up their Amps, ....had ”Paint marks” placed on their Amps for their “Dial Settings,” for their main Amps, and their “Slave Amps,” with their “Sweet Spot” marked on the “Slave Amp Speaker Cabinets,” for where the PA “Mic’s” were to be placed, etc.., 

And with cable snakes, now so readily available from Musicians Workshop, to whomever one uses as a musical instrument supplier, ...It is easy to plan for more elaborate setups and all, etc.., ....But are there spare cables being planned for in the cable snakes, in case of individual cable or cable plug failure???? ....Or even spare cable snakes planned for, to drop in place, incase one is misplaced, ....or has trouble, ....So instead of worrying about it, ...You simply swap it out for a spare cable snake, ........And Diagnose the problem after the show, when there is time, ....As show time is reserved for smooth production, ....and the diagnosis of the more important problems which may arise!!!!!!

I built for My one Boy, a monster electronic drum kit, from 4 electronic drum kits I purchased from Sams club, to see if He would like Drums also!!!! ....So I purchased four 48” solid wooden dowels, of the appropriate outside diameter, to match the inside diameter of the drum kit clamps, ...And I combined the four kits into one monster kit, ...by using their largest supplied kit tubes, ...as the newly assigned by myself, as the side and support tubes, instead!!!! ....then I purchased a series, of a few lengths of ¼” to ¼” cable snakes, and ¼” to ¼” female to female TRS barrel connectors, all from Musicians Friend, 

( Of course I had to call them on the phone, because guitar site online search engines are Fucking Useless to find specialty items, like 99% of the time, ....Which is why they have sales staffs to help out!!!! ....I could find the ¼” female to female TRS connectors online, listed as electronic parts, from non musical suppliers, ....Then call up the musical instrument suppliers, and describe what I found, ...And their like OK we have those, ...Even though they wont Fucking List them in their search engines, ...Unless you get sales help, ....which I needed, ....because they make expensive, and reasonably priced versions, ...which were the ones I wanted to trigger the drums!!!! )


So I used some cable snakes and ¼” female to female TRS barrel connectors, ....And cut the protective jackets either off of / or away from, portions of the cable snakes, where needed, ....and I also purchased some “Colored Velcro Kits” from Staples, ...And I assembled this monster Drum Kit, ....And ran the “Programmable Drum Kit Control Boxes,” ....once all wired up, and good to go, ....to a small Mixer, .....and we had a working monster drum kit, .....And could also assign “Specialty Drum Sounds,” to whichever pads we wanted to!!!!! .....And we also wound up with spare parts, like extra floor pedals, so we could do more than just double bass drum, and hi-hat triggers, ....but assign alternative drums to be triggered by additional floor pedals if we wanted!!!!

And so, ...in the end, ...no matter what you envision, design, and or build, ...in a Bands quest for success, .........please not only rehearse, .....but also rehearse for disaster planning and contingency training as well!!!! .....I learned My lesson, that even when a drummer carries spare snare springs, would it not be easier to also carry a spare snare drum???? .....Or even set up a kit with a second one, incase of failure during a song, ....and switch out to primary snare position between songs, incase of failure, ....and have the broken snare spring repaired off stage???? .....But then again, how often does a snare spring break, or do they and other stuff only break, when not planned for???? ( Gremlins???? )

But in opening up for Cinderella, while their first Album was in post production, also had additional benefits as well!!!! ( After the Debacle with personalities, which Cause Cinderella to be dumped / leave, from the Van Halen Tour, ) ....Bon Jovi, who was supporting Cinderella as a band, then took them up on His Tour!!!!  ....And Rob, the Guitar player of His band Wenlock was rewarded for opening up for Cinderella in Camden NJ, with Back Stage Passes for Bon Jovi’s  86-87 “Slippery When Wet” World Tour, for the 1986/1987 New Years Eve Show in the Meadowlands Arena ( December 31st 1986, )  ( Were Rob, and his Girlfriend and I went to see the show!!!! ....It was a great show, ....And backstage afterwards, ....for the New Years Celebration for bands not on Tour themselves, ....I could not believe the number of bands that were there!!!! ...I remember most of KISS was there, etc.., ....And it was wall to wall people, so you could not avoid bumping into people. ....I remember bumping, by accident into the singer from Poison, who was all friendly like, And after I was like sorry for bumping into Him, ...he introduced Himself, and we talked for a bit, etc.., ....But I also remember Scoping out the Chicks as well as hanging out with all the bands, having a Real Cool New Years Eve!!!!

			<title>Heavy Metal Band Names, and Associated Imagery</title>
			<link>http://www.guitar.com/forums/bands__artists/topic/heavy_metal_band_names_and_associated_imagery</link>
			<description><![CDATA[I have always wanted / have been toying with two names in particular, or a combination of the two for the name of a new “Metal” band. ....I have recently toyed with a few name ideas, ...And one in particular, which is a play on the “HMO”  ( health – maintenance – corporation ) concept, .......Which is instead, “Heavy Metal Oblivion.” ....or such similar name, .....which shows a leather gloved hand tightly grasping a Spiked-Steel-Apple!!!!, ...as a reworking of the “Apple Image” used by HMO’s, etc..,

But I have more recently have wanted to use “Malleus Maleficarum,” or “Molten State of Grace,” for Metal Band names!!!!

Now Molten State Of Grace, would mainly use a mysterious ( Cemetery / Horror Movie ) type of Imagery, ...including mysterious Black And White settings, ...in which Bright Gold and Silver and Steel, types of Molten Metal, ...would burn their way thru Graves, the Ground, Trees, ....Or whatever, .....And form Molten and Twisted Shaped Crosses, etc.., 

And I have also Toyed with the idea, of combining the two names combined, as such: “Malleus Maleficarum with Molten State of Grace,’ .......With the same Black and White Vampire and Werewolf Imagery this time, ......with the same appearances of Molten Steel, streams, pools, etc.., ......which would solidify into Molten forms of Twisted Crosses, etc..,   ( But in which, the Molten metal, can also Form, a molten-metal “The Witches Hammer,” To smash at the Vampire or Werewolf, imagery, of those who would stand in opposition to the expressed opinions and beliefs of the Molten Metal Mayhem, to it’s enemies!!!! )

So these are My concepts for Heavy Metal band Names, and their imagery I am playing with!!!! ........I certainly, at this point do not want to give up, on either “Malleus Maleficarum,” or “Molten State of Grace,” etc.., ........And as such, if I do not go for the combined “Malleus Maleficarum with Molten State of Grace,” ....then I can still use the names separately, For Different Projects!!!!

			<title>Playin' Out tomorrow night...</title>
			<link>http://www.guitar.com/forums/bands__artists/topic/playin_out_tomorrow_night</link>
			<description><![CDATA[Could be interesting. I was driving by last week and saw an ad for "open mic" at a local bar, so I thought to myself; "Self, you should do this..." However, the band I'm with is not yet ready for something like this, so I'm gonna do it solo instrumental, Vai/Satch style. heh Gonna be interesting, especially with no soundcheck and no band.Apparently there's going to be a LOT of people there too. Here's my plan:

I've recorded 4 meh/ok originals (I'm not eric Johnson, but I did the best I could. I think they're good tunes!) and have been practicing the snot out of them. I've made a playlist of a few tunes and burned 'em on a CD. Now to deal with my 'lack of soundcheck' issue I've composed a sort of synth/ahhh tune that I can improvise over. Sounds cool and I can get my basic level together while burning away on my axe. hahaha If I can't get a decent level in 3 minutes, I may as well kill myself. The CD is put together in such a way that I have  4 tunes (3-5 min each), but in between I put together some stuff I can either meedle over, or groove on so that the songs are broken up a bit and gives me a chance to sort of introduce my stuff, or whatever. Basically I walk up, plug my stuff in, hand the guy the CD, he hits play, and away we go. Should be easy as pie. Simple as fek...

As a backup I have an Ipod, JUST in case the CD fucks up, or skips, or whatever... You never know. 

Now for my amp, I'm taking my line6 Flextone. It's reliable and I can really alter my tones easily on the fly. Also, it has that Volume pedal on the board that is just awesome! Great for covering my ass if I'm having some volume issues, ad there's very little set up required. I've been practicing on my 7string, so that's what I'm gonna use; The Ibanez Universe.

I'll post some photos of the thing tomorrow night. Lemme know if you think I'm insane or what. And yes, I have a friend who's gonna be there to pick up the pieces if i get lynched... (Distinct possibility... My music can drive people insane...)]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Guys and Galls.............

 I'm sorry. I really am truly sorry, but I heard this not long ago during a random internet radio jam, and was intrigued. Its Buckethead playing Whitewash off the album Colma, I had the bastard stuck in my head for days!!! So........ being a man who thinks, well if you cant beat them join them, I learned how to play it. Now I'm no fan of Buckethead, but I don't doubt for even one second the guys ability as a musician, on many instruments too.

 I felt something though when I heard this, I thought it was a bad curry or an off pint of Guinness, but it turns out it was this song. Its kinda haunting with a great riff. But my reason for posting is this. It is accessible to all!!! Even someone new to the instrument could pick it up, and the more astute veteran out there could appreciate it's simplistic beauty. And thats where I find reason for this post. If one of the worlds most renowned, and reviled too, guitar players can slow it down to make something as great as this track seems to me, are we wasting time by aiming for the 'all guns blazing' approach to guitar playing????


So guys, any other favourite tracks out there by your heroes that can be picked up by everyone from novice to Bumblefoot???????

That rules out Guthrie Govan then.............


I'd like to hear your thoughts on this!!! One track, talented musician, but approachable to us all.]]></description>

I think it's pretty awesome.  Even if you're not a country fan, the level of guitar playing on this album is incredible.  Not just Paisley, although his playing on here is outstanding, there's also a whole host of cameo's by some great players.

			<title>Stories of A concert experience You had, Best, Worst, or Oddest, which ever you prefer</title>
			<link>http://www.guitar.com/forums/bands__artists/topic/stories_of_a_concert_experience_you_had_best_worst_or_oddest_which_ever_you_prefer</link>
			<description><![CDATA[I will give a few examples to get things going: 1) The worst concert experience I remember was the mood killer created by this one kid amongst three kids I had to escort to a concert. I was the guitar teacher of the one kid, in Marlboro, and so as He and his spoiled rich kid friends wanted to see this concert at Madison Square Garden in NYC, His parents had the idea of approaching Me to see if I would take them. So I said sure. We took the train up to the city, and had gotten to the Garden OK, and where our seats were no problem, and everything was OK. ----And the one spoiled rich kid made a racial remark, which no one heard. And that set My mood off for the night. I did not say anything to Him, other than keep it quiet or something like that, as no one heard Him. But I remember saying to Myself, He wanted to drag Me to NYC to start a cage match / racial riot, where most people would probably crowd around long enough to see someone die before it got broken up. And I thought, what the hell did He expect Me to do for Him, if a couple of Large and very angry Black guys wanted to discuss His views, with fists. What did He expect Me to do, except Maybe, be outnumbered and Bleed on Him a little???? I was so pissed  of at Him, on the train ride home, I sat away from them, and someone else had asked Me about myself, and I just pointed back at them, and said I was baby sitting, so they could hear I was still pissed off at them. And I never taught the kid guitar anymore after that. ----I don’t remember the concert, as I was so angry with that kid, that I did not want to think about it again ( see related post on how My memory is screwed up, if I don’t think on things I forget them ). But the concert was great, but in trying to forget about that idiot kid, I had not thought about it for years, ( and with My memory problems thus forgot ) but I think it was a Metallica concert, or someone Hot like them,  but can’t remember. It was good, but I was so pissed that this kid, was dumb enough to make racial remarks in a packed Garden concert setting, that I did not want to think about it again. ( I don't car what the kid thinks, that's His problem, but why the Hell was I expected to throw Myself in front of th etrouble, for these underage idiots. I would have had to, as I was there to watch them, but that made the expereince piss Me off so much, it ranked as the worst concert experience I can personaly remember. )

2) Another odd story ( relates from the fact, an older sister of mine, who fell down stairs as a child, and has some brain damage because of it ---but whom is stubborn as all hell, wants to go see concerts all of the times, so I would volunteer to take her, to keep an eye one her, and would only need to be ready if trouble started ). ---So she wanted to see Aerosmith, who were playing at this place by us, which changed names so many times, I only remember it as the fountain casino, I think. ---Joe Perry had been gone long enough, that their popularity tanked right thru the floor, and He had just gotten back with them, and they were hitting the road again. ---So we were on the floor, in front, close enough to touch them, and it was a great show, with all of their classics and all, up to that time. But before the show, this guy, right in front of Me, on something, hit the floor, and passed out cold. His girlfriend went hysterical, and no one would help him. I looked around, and no one cared, so I picked him up, under his arms, and dragged him all of the way to the back, to help, so he could be taken care of. Now everyone moved out of My way to let Me drag this guy back to help. But all closed in and would not move, so I could get back to the stage to see the concert, and watch my sister as well. ---Well I was like the hell with this, and I just got up to people, and with my right and left arms, just shoved them all aside, like bowling pins, to work My way up front, and no one dared say a thing to me, and I got up front, and when it started I enjoyed the show.

3) I was road manager for a band called Wenlock, who had played opening up for Cinderella, in their favorite club in Camden NJ, while Cinderella’s first album, was in post production, just before they would go out on the road with VH. Now trouble occurred, and VH dumped them from the tour, and Bon Jovi, who helped Cinderella get their start, took them on their tour. ---So we got back stage passes, as a favor, for opening up for them, while waiting to hit the road,  to the 1987 ( I think that was the year ), New years Eve “Slippery When Wet,” Tour,  in the Meadowlands Arena, (  Brendon Burns Arena, Meadowlands NJ, again if I remember correctly ), --- and I had no idea for New Years Eve, just how many other bands were there, ---So after the show, Kiss, and a whole bunch of other bands were there, and it was cool to hang out with so many bands. You would bump in to people, and I don’t know who they thought we were, so if I accidentally, for example, bumped in to the singer from Poison, for example, He said, Hi I’m the singer for Poison, etc.., ---there were more bands to bump into than You could shake a stick at!!!!

4) In the 1982-1984 time frame, I think, where  I had a girlfriend who liked to go to a lot of big name concerts, so we had 7th row, floor, front row center tickets to see VH, while D.L.R. was still with them, and it was a great show. But I liked being so close to the stage, to see EVH, play all of His performance solos, ---including a much more complicated version of Eruption, than on the album, ---as well as a much more complicated version of the “little guitars intro” solo, in which EVH, instead of tremolo picking the high E string drone, when He fretted the  bass melody notes < a version of which I did, by placing My pick between my 1st and 2nd fingers to tremolo pick high E string, and leave thumb free to pluck bass note lines > ---but instead, of how He recorded it on the album, He tapped a melody on the high strings, starting from the 2nd string 5th fret, for the high E string / open E note –equivalent, --and He walked the higher string melody upwards, and back, while playing the lower string Bass run melody. ---I was amazed at how complicated, and how well it came out, and was thinking does He have to make things even harder than on the albums????

5) It may have been the return from this VH concert, I don’t remember, but I was getting a B.J. from my beautiful girlfriend, when another car crossed the line at us, and I swerved away from it, but it hit us side impact head on. And She was all freaked out, thinking the accident was Her fault. ( She was good, but not good enough to make Me go hitting things ). The other lady was so drunk, She hit us, hit her head on her steering wheel, and passed out, then woke up, forgetting what had happened, or that our two cars were stuck together so badly, they had to use tow trucks to pull them apart, and they were totaled!!!! But she tried to start her car, and drive off, so drunk she had no clue. Me, I was great, it wasn’t our fault, so it was just another hanging out experience, to say, life’s always a trip.

6) Another VH concert, and two beautiful girls were next to me all giggly, and all, and I noticed it was their plan to throw their panties on stage, with their phone numbers written in them. I was like that will never work. We were like 15th row center, floor, and the panties would never make it. So I told them it would not work, and told them to give the panties to Me, which they did. ( Not that kind of story ). And then I asked them, if they had a lighter. They did. So I told them to give it to Me. I tied the panties around the lighter, and bunched them in My hand. I waited for it to go dark, between songs, and threw it as hard as I could. And the panties landed right by EVH’s feet. And the lighter must have been thrown from the panties as well. David Lee Roth, stopped the show, went over to the panties, picked them up, and held them up, next to Eddie and Himself, and said Hmmmm, and such. ---and the girls were tickled pink, and ecstatic. And I had a good time, simply because it worked, and I was so amused with Myself. Because I thought I was just going to clock someone in the head with them, a few rows up, or something???? I could have gotten laid, or a B.J. out of it, but did not even try ----because I did not want to be know as the guy who threw the panties on stage, and have to go thru all of the jokes about it ---and have to explain, 1,000snd’s of times, “they belonged to the girls, and it was a favor…..,” –because people would probably do that kind of kidding, and I could have carried that joke around with me for years.

7) Another time, was when I escorted My sister ( because she had the brain damage, thru an accident, and not her fault, how could I get angry with her, for dragging me to all these concerts, to keep an eye on her. ----The family paid for everything, as I was doing them a favor, cause nothing would have gotten in the way of her stubbornness. )  ---And I taught her too well, on how these radio stations like WPLJ, and the rest sucked, because they were sellouts and all. ----And so I took her to a Black Sabbath concert she wanted to see, and after the opening band, I forget who, a DJ from WPLJ, or some such station, came on stage to announce Black Sabbath, and My sister “Booed” the guy, at the top of her lungs, and would not stop, because she hated the radio station. ---And so My task, had been called upon Me, and I turned to the people staring at us, and said, she really hates that radio station. And they were like, Ohh, OK. ---And We enjoyed the show.

8) There was the time as well, where I had taken the same girlfriend, I mentioned before, to see Rush, again around the 1982-1984 time frame, I think, again, with us having 10th row center floor, I think on the Moving Pictures Tour, if I remember. But anyway, it was a great show, and I had a great time hearing neil Peart Play, because He was awesome.

9) And there are all other concerts I saw, which I don’t remember all of the details from, such as a Blue Oyster Cult concert, in which, the Bass player, did a cool classical guitar, kind of Bass solo, etc..,

10) And I spent time going to all the clubs in Staten Island to NYC, where you would go to clubs to see the Metal Bands play. I went to a lot of them, with the guitar player from Wenlock, I was telling You about.

			<link>http://www.guitar.com/forums/bands__artists/topic/i_want_to_relate_music_stories_but_an_industrial_accident_i_had_affected_my_ability_to_concentrate_well_to_write_well_and_remember_much_of_my_life</link>
			<description><![CDATA[ Now this is relevant because I want to make posts about memories of experiences, in which I forget details about them, and need to explain how that works, so I can move on to the posts about the portions of the experiences I do remember

---And so this is quite relevant as I want to discuss Music related stuff, of which I do not remember all of the details from, but want to share anyway.  ( The same as if My brain were Fried from drugs, for example )

---Now, I had an industrial accident, around 92, where I got hit hard in the chest, which apparently did some secondary type of damage to My heart, because upon being checked out at the time, I was told I had a strong rhythm/beat, and was OK. But it threw My metabolism out of whack, and I developed a Chronic fatigue, which snuck up on Me with just a little time after the accident, so I did not connect it at for years, and when it happened, it  got very bad fairly quickly, and I eventually wound up on disability for 6 months in 95. They diagnosed Me as a certified Loon, puzzle factory graduate ---what they actually said was I was Bi-Polar. -----and in My view they are wrong, but the physical fatigue  I can fight thru by working, and only if I stop moving, can I suddenly get tired, and loose My energy, but that’s about it. ---But the 2nd effect, is it robs Me of concentration, to the point, where My short term memories get stored like everyone Else's, but I don’t remember things, unless I think about them on purpose, to keep them so refreshed, that they get established as long term memories I guess –and I had not realized this for years, but most of My life I don’t remember???? If My theory is wrong about the mechanism, it still happened after the accident. –Your heart produces Hormones, which are part of You Metabolism. ---I read a lot, to keep very sharp, but don’t handle short term memory stuff well. 

And as such, I write first drafts poorly, usually, because My concentration, to put things clearly, without reflection, is shot all to hell. ---And so I don’t remember most of My life anymore, but rather remember highlights of it is all. ---If something was a great experience to piss My off, or some random moments of great joy, I can remember them. But they have to be either outstanding moments that pissed Me off, or happy ones, I thought about enough to establish being able to remember them, ----Not realizing, that this is how it happened, or that, this is how it is, for My life.

So They instead, think I spontaneously, one day turned Bi-Polar, and try to blame that as the cause, instead of what might seem to be the result, of fatigue, and concentration and memory problems ---and anger which I can develop, when people think that means I am weak, and want to move in for the kill, so to speak, on the job, to try and advance themselves at My expense, by trying to out-politic me, and My very good work in general, but not always as snappy quick as they want, even though I get the toughest assignments, as I am good at what I do. ----I have always been in industrial maintenance, HVAC(R), electrical, mechanical, operating engineer, operating BMS ( building management software ), including steam-fitting, to you name the heavy industrial maintenance, and I have probably done it, as well as being a High Speed Food production, line mechanic, and doing telecom, data, paging, and cctv, network / combined, wiring, installation, programming, and service, etc.., ---and I am so used to fighting for survival in life, and just plain fighting, that I am surprised when trouble does not start, as I withdraw from interacting with people in general, with health issues, which now include some chest pains, and hypertension, etc.., etc.., 


So with this out of the way, I want to relate pieces of stories I remember, but pieces are all they are.

			<title>Lindsey Buckingham</title>
			<link>http://www.guitar.com/forums/bands__artists/topic/lindsey_buckingham</link>
			<description><![CDATA[Way back in the day whenever I would listen to a standard Fleetwood Mac song, I would listen to Lindsey Buckingham's guitar solos and think to myself, man that guy sucks! I mean listen to the solo on one of their standards like "Don't Stop" and you hear a guy playing the most rudimentary, generic, guitar solo one can imagine. But Buckingham seems to have another side to him, a side that, until around twelve years ago, no one ever saw. He's got a finger-picking style that quite frankly impresses me. I'm wondering what some of you guys think of his style...]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I graduated high school almost a year ago and since then I haven't really given much thought to what I wanted to do with my life.  Well, I want to be a rock star, but I need a back up plan.  I took a break from school and now I am ready to get back.

The only thing is, I'm not really sure what careers there are out there dealing with musicians/guitarists.  Off the top of the head there is Session work, playing in an orchestra, Composing and some other things.  But is that all or is there something else out there that I'm missing?

Right now I live in Orlando, FL and I am thinking about going to Full Sail University.

Anyway, let me know what you guys think.

I should add that I want something that will lead to a good home, and a nice life.]]></description>

I personally prefer the 'old', just watch their '88 live at the ritz performance and you're sold. The fact that I have to name the new line up by their surnames, also shows I'm not interested in the new Guns 'N Roses anymore. ]]></description>

			<title>VH1 Greatest Hard Rock Songs</title>
			<link>http://www.guitar.com/forums/bands__artists/topic/vh1_greatest_hard_rock_songs</link>
			<description><![CDATA[So I just finished watching the VH1 100 Greatest Hard Rock Songs and I wrote a list of the top 10 to post here. Here they are:

10) Motorhead - Ace of Spades
9) Runnin' With The Devil - Van Halen
8) Walk This Way - Aerosmith
7) Smells Like Teen Spirit - Nirvana
6) Won't Get Fooled Again - The Who
5) Enter Sandman - Metallica
4) Paranoid - Black Sabbath
3) Whole Lotta Love - Led Zeppelin
2) Back in Black - AC/DC
1) Welcome to the Jungle - Guns N Roses

Personally, I think the top 5 are correct but in wrong order:

5) Welcome to the Jungle - Guns N Roses
4) Enter Sandman - Metallica
3) Back in Black - AC/DC
2) Whole Lotta Love - Led Zeppelin
1) Paranoid - Black Sabbath

I want to know what you guys think of this list. Post YOUR version of this list, or post your own version with completely different songs!

			<description><![CDATA[Well My band Insergo just officially Announced our First EP(Fabrication of the Uprise) that is coming out, We are just making some Adjustments to the songs, getting ready to play the new ones live and such, and collecting the funds necessary to pay for studio time(approx:600$ for the 6 song EP). On our myspace you can see that we have never had a decent recording, just the thought of people actually hearing what we sound like without watching us live is a mind boggling thought, seeing as right now people that listen to our music on myspace have the compete wrong idea of how we sound, seeing as we have old, crappy recordings.

Anyways, I'd thought i'd share my excitement with you, Go to our myspace, add us, maybe donate if your nice enough lol.

He smelled of old pot and whisky, a little BO. At first we thought it was some Rasta Farian Santa Clause then we looked him up on the internet, and sure enough it was him. Same tattoos, and everything. I had to have him sign the ticket he bought, so I walked out to his truck and politely asked him. Then I got him to sign a piece of paper, because he knew I knew who he was. Didn't talk much, but it was cool, nonetheless. "I was drunk, the day my mom got out of prison," ....]]></description>

			<title>Learning the music of Pink Floyd</title>
			<link>http://www.guitar.com/forums/bands__artists/topic/learning_the_music_of_pink_floyd</link>
			<description><![CDATA[Hi guys, 

How many of you floydians on here play or learn Pink Floyd material on their guitar? from the sound of Gilmour's crisp tasty solos I assume that many of you do here on with Guitar.com. How do you learn to play from ear or tabulature? The problem is, I have not seen any Pink Floyd tabs sites around purely for the use of the bands music I have only seen fan sites. Tab is good but I feel that you can be left alone in the dark and so I feel people need more than just tab. Tab with explanations and lessons as if you were being taught I think will bring great rewards to those learning and will also bring a great sense of achievement and fun to all those learning. The use of visuals with Pink Floyd tabs I think is exceptional. Think about it, if you were learning and you felt as if you were being carried along you have more determination in the process and you enjoy it because you feel much more confident and have "I can do this" sort of feeling which can only make you go on! 

let me know what you think.. 

Have a good look at http://www.pinkfloyd-guitar.com and let me know what you think of this site. It seems to convince with the learning Pink Floyd music with tabs. 


Thanks 

Ameen

			<description><![CDATA[So I finally got a chance to listen to "The Perpetual Flame" today.  And guess what?  It bores me.  Technically, Yngwie is impressive as always.  But it's more of the same.  Too much shredding, not enough songwriting.  I guess I should have known it would continue to be that way, but I want to hear a good song, dammit.   ]]></description>

			<title>AC/DC World Tour</title>
			<link>http://www.guitar.com/forums/bands__artists/topic/acdc_world_tour</link>
			<description><![CDATA[I'm sadly disappointed.  My favorite rock and roll band, AC/DC, on whom I've waited 8 long years for some new material and a tour has finally put out Black Ice and are launching their tour.  The drawback is, their only touring the states from Nov. until Jan. ???  What the hell!??  This is like being back in the cornfields of Ohio, having to go 3 or 4 hours to see a show when there is a huge amphitheater just up the damn road!

I know the guys are getting old and only want to play the biggest places, but damn.  I had hoped they would have had enough rest from their last tour to at least play the 15-20 thousand seat places. It's not like I'm expecting them to show up at the local beer joint or something.  

Just one more aggravation in an already aggravated existence.

Sorry, just wanted to bitch a little, thanks for letting me vent! :)]]></description>

			<title>Crack the Sky</title>
			<link>http://www.guitar.com/forums/bands__artists/topic/crack_the_sky</link>
			<description><![CDATA[Crack the Sky has been a local favorite in this neck of the woods since 75'. In the Baltimore area they had reached the same status as bands like Zeppelin, Skynyrd, etc. One magazine had them on the cover with the tag line "Crack the Sky, The Greatist Band You Never Heard Of." They were supposed to break big with their first album, but the record company screwed up the distrubtion for months on their first LP and they never reached the status that they should have. When I think of this band, I've always wondered how many actually know about them. If you've never heard of them, you may want to download a song or two just to check them out like "Nuclear Apathy" or "Lighten Up McGraw."  "Saftey in Numbers" was an excellent album as was their original. "Crack the Sky." It's 70's rock at it's finest in my opinion!]]></description>

I'm listening to the new CD-- The Illusion of Progress. Its good but its "lighter" than their previous stuff. Some of it almost sounds more like Seether to me. It doesn't have the dark feeling to it. Is it more "commercial" are they selling out too?

			<title>Becoming a real musician, a serious one.</title>
			<link>http://www.guitar.com/forums/bands__artists/topic/becoming_a_real_musician_a_serious_one</link>
			<description><![CDATA[Today was the day I've become seriously serious about being a serious guitarist in the future. 
I have found the people that will be on my side, fighting on the music world.

Ok, I'll explain. I was in a basement with half-dozen of friends, and I picked up a guitar (The owner of the house has an electro-acoustic, a Strat-like, a Drumkit and a Piano Keyboard, as well as a couple of Maracas and an African little drum called Djambé). I started with some chords, you know. 
Then I went to the keyboard (I have one on my bedroom too). The guys were impressed with my playing. A couple of beers later one of my friends just decided to play drums (he had never played before in his life). Well, he was awesome, like a gift from the gods. 
BTW, I was playing guitar with a simple amp, with no Reverbs, Distortion Channels or any other effect. No pedals either. So, I was playing direct, the only way I had to mod my tone was by switching pick-ups. 
Yesterday I watched an interview with  James Hetfield where I heard him say "I love the feeling I get with the distortion I get when I play with my amp on max volume.", but I couldn't do it at home because I live in a flat and it was late night, past midnight. I remembered that today, when I was playing with the Clean amp, so I turned the Volume to max, on my friend's basement and heard that beautiful distortion. It was like White Stripes, Ac/Dc, you know. A huge powerful sound from a cheap single-channel 10 watt amp. Then, I started playing Enter Sandman with my friend, the one who started playing drums today. To play the intro I turned the volume knob on my guitar to 2/3, so the sound was clean, and then turned it to 10 to produce a hard-rock sound. It was not like the fake sound I hear everyday from my pedal, it was a pure overdriven sound. I wonder how would it sound with a tube amp!

We formed a band now, and already got some more people to join us. 
The only problem I had was that I couldn't sing Nirvana's songs. When we played "Back In Black" I just freaked out - and I didn't drink anything at all (okay, 2 cups of Coke, but that's usual). I was jumping ang going crazy while playing. They took us lots of pics and recorded some videoclips. A girl telling me that I could have all the girls I wanted, due the way I played guitar. And I was "Yeah, okay, but that's not it. I need someone who loves me, not someone who likes my sound." I wasn't doing any show off, I didn't exhibit any fancy solos, I simply played riffs, sang a bit, and played bluesy jazz stuff, among the rock. After all we finished playing a gig to our friends. What matters to me is expressing myself musically, and not impressing anyone.
Later it was time to get the acoustic. And it went well. Knocking On Heavens Door's always works. :)
Maybe the 2nd best day of my life. I've played music since I was 3 (piano, flute, etc.) And became serious since I was 13 (Guitar). I play harmonica now, too.

I realised I'm becoming a good musician -but still a bad guitarist-  xP

PS: Yeah, I know that someone has made this "distortion discovery" 60 or 70 years ago, but nevermind. ]]></description>

I posted it because I thought it was pretty funny the guy in the intro takes an unabashed swing at rock music, which was just coming into inception around the time this performance took place (circa 1964).  Gee, who do you think he means by 'teenagers':  name a band that starts with a B...

On another note, it's just some ridiculous guitar playing...

			<title>How musically unhip are you?</title>
			<link>http://www.guitar.com/forums/bands__artists/topic/how_musically_unhip_are_you</link>
			<description><![CDATA[That last thread about Mars Volta reminded my of how musically unhip I am.  I'm old, but young enough where a good amount of my friends and peers still are aware of what is hip in the musical world.  However, somewhere along the road, I fell completely out of it.  Examples:

1) IMing some guy from craigslist trying to find a guitarist for his band

Me:  Yeah, I like some of your influences.
Guy: What do you think of Mars Volta?
Me:  Actually, I don't know who they are?
Guy:  I think we're looking for somebody a little cooler.

2) Bunch of people at a party watching a live performance on MTV or sporting event, I can't remember.

Me: That was a good song, who was that?
Partygoer:  Are you serious?
Me:  Yes
Partygoer:  That was Coldplay.

3) Me and a friend listening to his mix CD trying to gather some songs to jam around with.

Me:  I like this song.  Who is this?
Friend:  Kanye West
Me:  Wow.  Is this what Kanye West sounds like.  I thought it was gangster rap.
Friend:  Are you serious?]]></description>

			<title>The Day That Never Comes</title>
			<link>http://www.guitar.com/forums/bands__artists/topic/the_day_that_never_comes</link>
			<description><![CDATA[I was watching the new video from Metallica "The Day That Never Comes." Now I realize this is just a video, and I like the song, but I found the video to be just a tad unrealistic to say the least. It depicts a soldier who has been made paranoid by the events of the war. A woman in a berka(sp) gets out of a stalled car in the middle of the road that could have been lined with enough explosives to blow them all to Scotland and back. She starts to walk toward the one soldier who keeps telling her to get on the ground. Will he shoot her or won't he. To me, it seemed like whoever made the video had really lousy technical advisors. I realize at some point somebody has to approach the car, but I was looking at four or five dead guys as this thing unfolded. Any thoughts..]]></description>

But there's so much more to this band than those two songs. Of all the guitarists that have been in that band I would have to say that Ed King is my favorite as far as guitar technique, and Allen Collins had a stage presence that was out of this world. The guy would start pounding both legs into the stage floor during "Freebird" and it would always drive the crowd insane. I saw them back in 76' and I still think it's the best show I've ever seen. Of all their guitarists, which would you say is your favorite, if you happen to be a fan? The guitarist line up has been...

Gary Rossington
Allen Collins
Ed King
Steve Gaines
Hughie Thomasson
Randall Hall

			<description><![CDATA[So Dragonforce has a new album coming out. It's called Ultra Beatdown. Sounds like a silly name for a metal album but anyway, I was listening to some of the new track on their MySpace page and...

...it sounds a lot like they're last album :( 
The first song sounds just like Through The Fire and The Flames. I am kinda disappointed. The chord progressions are predictable and the solos sound like the last albums work. The vocals flow the same and have similar melody too. What a bummer...]]></description>

Well there we're these guys who kept asking him to join as a lead guitarist because there was already a rhythm but they also told my friend Joseph ( Joe ) that if he could find a bass then ask and so he came to me and we was talking and asked me and asked them if I would work since I'm so much younger so yeah even though I don't play that much bass I've been practicing that and guitar more I've learned Ozzy Osbourned - Crazy Train, Black Sabbath - Paranoid, And Megadeth - Peace Sells. And a couple more so. Yeah I'm waiting for a band practice and I'll send the video!]]></description>

Now I am not into too much screaming growling stuff, but this shit is friggin' great!!! The riffs are catchy as hell, makes me bob my head like when  bought Mudvayne's "The End of All Things to Come." The guitar on it is played on an 8 string, and Ibanez was the first to come out with this thing. I think I might have to see what it's about.  ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[What are your guys opinions on bands with instrument switching, as in each member plays a different instrument during their set?  I have been in various bands as a guitar player and a drummer, just never both rolls at the same time.  Since my band broke up in the spring I have had most of the summer to think about my next move and lately I have had the hunger to be in a band where I play guitar part of the time and drums part of the time.  Think of the Canadian band Sloan.  When I mention this to a lot of my friends they think the idea is retarded.  You wouldn't believe how many musicians are militant about rolls.  If you play guitar, that is all you do; if you play keys, that is all you do; and so on.    ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I've never really been a fan of Marilyn Manson and the only song I ever listened to by them is beautiful People. Cool riff. Anyways, after a video of John 5 was posted I became curious. Behind The Nut Love is a brilliant song if you ask me. Had I not seen the video I'd have thought it was slide guitar. So I've been listening to some of his solo stuff and I'm surprised but how much country type stuff he does. There's a bunch of twangy dosy-soe type stuff on his albums! Not that it's bad, he's a great musician and a real shredder but let's just say it's not what I expected of a Marilyn Manson guitarist! He even does the Benny Hill theme song! LOL 
Needless to say he is very good. His albums seem very Steve Vai/Eddie Van Halen influenced
Have many of you listened to him before?]]></description>

			<title>Quitting the Band</title>
			<link>http://www.guitar.com/forums/bands__artists/topic/quitting_the_band</link>
			<description><![CDATA[It seems as though its time for me to move on. The band i have been in for about 1/2 years has been slowly falling apart for 1.49999999 of those years. The lead guitarist and drummer will not play anything out of their hair metal comfort zone, and unfortunately i think that there is such a thing as too much van halen. We have gone nowhere, and had around 5 gigs, half of them for drunk rednecks distantly related to our lead guitarist. It seems to me that hair metal will no longer sell very well. The problem is that these guys are some of my best friends, even before the band. There are never any new ideas coming in, and we have a hard time getting anything done, even when we are focused on rehearsing. The straw that broke the camels back was when our lead guitarists mom decided she was our manager. Anyway, my biggest problem is that i know that besides our singer, they will not be able to find another bassist that will be willing to play with them. I hate the band, the music, the gigs, all of it, it all sucks! We have a few gigs lined up, but i really just want out, but i don't want to screw over my best friends! What should i do?]]></description>

" And some old guy joined him and had like a little flashing light every 5 seconds on a can and he went up and bit the man's cane so I don't get it...

			<description><![CDATA[Hey, guys, I've been in some bands, but I couldn't hold on there because:

band 1- We practised on a small room, a guitar and a keyboard, only one amp.
band 2- They had a drum kit, a garage, some guitars... but I was the only one who could PLAY. The other guys where standing, looking at me, playing while the drummer was playing some crap. I have played drums for about... 30 mins. my whole life, and I can play MUCH better than that drummer in my former band.

I know some good drummers, but:
1-They already have a band.
2-They don't have a drum kit neither a garage where we can make noise.

And the good guitarists i know:
1-Too far away
2-Already have a band
3-Don't have decent equipment

So, I'm kinda on trouble... I can't play live or anything, because I can't sing at all. Only some backing vocals.
PS: I live in a flat.. so, no noise is allowed in my place.]]></description>

being a fan of classic rock, i am almost ashamed that i dont know the answers, but here goes.

i am aware that pete is known as one of the best rythym guitarists of all time. i read an article where he was referred to as a "living chord dictionary" . but i am wondering, how much of the lead work is he responsible for?
how many guitarists were in the band, and what were their names? 
i have seen footage of pete playing lead, but im curious as to whether or not he played lead regularly.

and if anybody knows what happened to my tuner, let me know because i miss it really bad...................]]></description>

			<title>Advice from the group </title>
			<link>http://www.guitar.com/forums/bands__artists/topic/advice_from_the_group</link>
			<description><![CDATA[Hi guys,

I'm looking for some input from the group here at Guitardotcom. Here's some background:

I'm involved in an after school rock program. We put together some bands for kids from 3rd to 5th grades. They have to own their own gear. It's pretty cool (the program wasn't my idea so I guess I can say that without sounding arrogant) and I wish there had been this sort of thing when I was just staring out. Each of us mentor kids that use our primary instrument (I'm primarily a bass player so I help those kids). We have some solid adult musicians helping whose backgrounds are primarily rock and blues. Our "leaders" are my wife and Dan from Mudhoney (Dan is also the "drums" guy as you might expect). They run the show and the rest of us go to different kids during their practice hour (once a week) and assist as needed. At the end of the school year we record the song each band chose and record their band for a CD. They also choose a name (last year one was called "Crosswalk" which I thought was pretty cool) and we have t-shirts made for them. They play a gig for the school and then they break up to form again the next school year. 

Here's the deal. The program needs improvement. Last year was our first year and it was disorganized. "All" the 6 string players couldn't even make a chord. Teaching kids is like herding proverbial cats and we need more structure. Also since we have so many 6 string players that can't play a note, we're very rhythm section heavy. We're not professional instructors. Geeks like me only play by ear and communicating how to do that is almost impossible. It's the same with all the adults, even a pro like Dan.

I know there must be some instructors out there as well as this very, very knowledgeable group of musicians. 

Can you give us any pointers for improvement based on your experience or expertise?

Any advice would be really, really appreciated.

Thanks in advance guys!]]></description>

			<title>big disappointment</title>
			<link>http://www.guitar.com/forums/bands__artists/topic/big_disappointment</link>
			<description><![CDATA[i recorded a motley crue concert on my dvr yesterday. it was from the red, white, and crue tour. it was first aired on tv in jan 2006. i dont know exactly when this tour was, but it looked to be somewhat recent. 

i love to watch concerts so i was looking forward to watching it when i went home from work yesterday. the trouble started during the very first song which was " shout at the devil ". something just didnt sound right, and as i watched more and more, i became convinced that vince neil was lip sync-ing (did i spell that right?) the whole damn thing. what a sham!! the music was live (and didnt sound bad) but there were several times i thought the vocal sounded like it was recorded, a couple times it was very obvious. if i had bought tickets to that show i would have been pissed. i think thats really a rip-off. i want to hear and see a live performance. hell, i can fake it at home.

im always noticing all this pop bullshit on tv that seems mostly fake. it has become so popular to lip sync that stuff that i think it must be accepted now, but im so disappointed to see a band like the crue stoop to this level. they have never really been one of my favorites, however i do like them fairly good, or at least i did anyway.

how do you guys feel about this kind of thing?

have any of you seen this show, and did you notice it too?]]></description>

			<link>http://www.guitar.com/forums/bands__artists/topic/whats_this_crackhead_talkin_bout</link>
			<description><![CDATA[Now i found this review of Disturbed's Ten Thousand Fists on a Danish site called Gaffa.dk....
Whats this crackhead been sniffin' http://gaffa.dk/anmeldelser/view.php/mreview_id=30333/artist_focus=21505
He's given it 2 of 6 stars... let me translate...

:If primitive stacatto riffs, rumbling tribal-drums and baboon screams, could deliver music quality, Then Ten Thousand Fists would be a masterpiece.
Unfortunatly for Disturbed the holy ingrediens is melody. And they havent followed the recepy very good on this their third album.
When a coverversion of Genesis's "Land of Confusion" is the most outstanding track on the album, it clearly indicates that theres low-water on the melody budget.
Although there IS pleasing moments. Guarded is a real punch on the jaw. And I'm Alive has as one of few tracks a great chorus. There's a few factors that drags in the other direction. Atleast three  of the songs circles around the music-business. The titletrack is about the band and its fans. Just Stop is an encouragement to the bands critics. And on Sons of Plunder Disturbed throws rock at their collegs. When they focus on this subject, it tells that they seriously just have nothing to say. And they actually quite well know that 10,000 fists give the thumbs down.:

What's he talking 'bout...
This one the best albums ever.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I just wanted to start a thread on this band. i really love them alot. i think they are really original. the lyrics are great, especially for me considering im 16, and just broke up with my girl a few months ago lol.
i have the albums Three Days Grace, and One-X. as far as i know there aren't any more :S
one thing that really impresses me is that Adam (lead singer/rhythm guitarist) wrote most of the One-X album in rehab. now thats a pretty awsome story. 
with my band, we mainly play Three Days Grace covers (besides other covers and our own stuff), because at the moment were only 3 people (missing a lead guitar player). i do the vocals and rhythm guitar. they have some of the most enjoyable songs to play with a band.
so!
anyone else a fan?
what are your opinions on the band?]]></description>

			<link>http://www.guitar.com/forums/bands__artists/topic/concert_review</link>
			<description><![CDATA[for anyone interested, here are my thoughts on the zz top concert that i attended over the weekend. 

overall, the show was enjoyable. the band looked and sounded very much like the previous shows i had seen, not bad at all. i was pleased to see that they have still got it, despite the fact that they have been at it for about 35 years. they sounded pretty damn good for 3 old guys. lol. i still think some of the young guys could benefit by taking a few notes from gibbons and company. billys guitar work was impressive as usual and his vocals werent bad, even though his mic volume seemed a little low. dusty and frank werent super energetic, but they still sounded good.

they took the stage at about 745 pm and it was over by 925 pm so it was a little short, especially considering that there was no opening act.
this was the one aspect that was a little disappointing, but i was not disappointed during the time that they played so i guess i cant complain too much.

i am interested if anyone else was there or comments from anybody who has attended any of the other shows in the tour.

It sure shocked me (in a pleasant way) to see and hear them in a pop contest but I don't regret watching the contest. For one thing, the confused faces of the disbelieving presenters was priceless as they handed them the winner's prize. For another the surprise of seeing them there was one of the rare occasions where I was pooping in my pants out of excitement.


I don't know what part of their act is real and what part is just joking around and they can certainly not be credited with any musical innovation, but I think they simulate the genuine hard rock mood in their music pretty well and I enjoy listening to the few tracks I have on my PC.]]></description>

My friend has done a lot of hows and all he did was go to Guitar Center and get a promoter.  Should I do this or is there any other ways?  Should I call the clubs and try to set something up?

			<title>Allman Brothers Band: At Fillmore East Deluxe Edition</title>
			<link>http://www.guitar.com/forums/bands__artists/topic/allman_brothers_band_at_fillmore_east_deluxe_edition</link>
			<description><![CDATA[What do you think of this album? Here's my review

If anyone claims to me that they have heard the allman brothers, I will ask them if they have ever heard this album. If they haven't, then they have never TRULY heard them in their true brilliance. This album is a juggernaut; it has quite possibly THE greatest jamming of all time ever committed to record,  it has my second favorite guitarist of all time and easily the greatest electric slide guitarist of all time (the guitar playing style, not the dance, I know you were thinking that.), Duane Allman in his absolute prime and only to months before his tragic motorcycle accident and resulting death on it, it has the also great Dickey Betts on second lead guitar (they had 2 lead guitarists and no rhythm guitarist), it has the groovy organist and very soulful vocalist Gregg Allman, and above all it has some of the  most incredible live band playing of all time.

1.) Statesboro Blues- A great blues tune originally written by Blind Willie Mctell, Duane does some awesome blues slide work on this track and everybody grooves. It's very short for a live allmans song, and it provides a great example of great playing by the allmans outside of a long jam context.

2.)Trouble No More- Another great blues-rock tune and one left off of the original album, but included on the deluxe version. Also short and to the point, with a nice riff.

3.) Don't Keep Me Wonderin'- Really nice and funky tune, also left off the original. This has some of the most vocal-sounding, for lack of a better word, slide playing I have ever heard during the verse section where the slide guitar responds to the harmonica licks, always makes me sort of laugh when I hear it. Really cool.

4.) Done Somebody Wrong- This is one of the last in the section of the album with the shorter tunes. It's a Elmore James tune. Pretty cool.

5.) Stormy Monday- This was a kind of "transition song" on the original album. It's about halfway between a jam and a short tune (It's almost 9 minutes long, sort of short for a allman jam) Nice, easy, slow, quiet, bluesy, really atmospheric stuff. really well played.

6.) One Way Out- Ah, that riff has haunted me forever, so damn catchy. groovy tune.

7.) In Memory of Elizabeth Reed- Finally, we get to the jams, and this is a good one. That riff near the end is just mind blowing. Great solos taken, and there are so many brilliant lick and riffs in there. Really intricate song, and things are about to get even better.

8.) You Don't Love Me- Great tune. As Gregg says at the start, "Put your hands together for this one." Starts out nice and funky, with a great guitar riff, played teasingly quiet, and then the organ joins in and things REALLY kick off. Eventually everything starts changing- time signatures, tempos, keys, instrumentation- and we go into a whole different dimension.

9.) Midnight Rider- Not the best song here. Not on the original.  It's the shortest song on the album. So-so.

10.) Hot 'Lanta- Nice and erie riffs here. Nice organ solo and an atmospheric ending.

11.) Whipping Post- This was the climax of the original album, and for good reason. Everything just clicks perfectly. Guitar playing is really incredible and it's manages to be 23 minutes long and never get boring. The first time I heard this track I spent all 23 minutes with my mouth hanging open in amazement. "It can't possibly get any better than this" I thought. Well, it turned out I was wrong.

12.) Mountain Jam- I swear to God, when I die, I want this to be played at my funeral. This is the epitome of awesome on every conceivable level, a veritable "musical orgasm" so to speak. Despite the unassuming and unpretentious title, there is nothing that isn't  EPIC about this track. It goes on for OVER 33.5 MINUTES! They didn't have it on the original because it took up BOTH sides of a vinyl record! The playing on this track is life-changing. Duane and Betts play their hearts out and everybody is digging the playing, both drummers (they had 2 live) take an incredible solo together, and it's clear that they are feeling something truly special that night. From the tantalizing solo guitar intro to the epic close, this is 33.5 minutes of musical perfection. 

13.) Drunken Hearted Boy- Not brilliant. certainly not among the best here. Probably should have ended the album with Mountain Jam. This one's just meh, but then again, it wasn't on the original album.


In conclusion; BUY IT! BUY IT! BUY IT!!!!!!!!!!!

What's your opinion?]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I've noticed that for some time now that the "Classic Rock" bands are having a hard time getting any new material played. If an artist like Tom Petty, or Van Halen were to release a new single, I wonder how much airplay the song would receive before it got canned. There doesn't seem to be a format for these guys today. Many of these acts, not just the two mentioned, ruled the arenas not all that long ago. Now many of them are turning to CMT to try to get a video played. I'd also like to hear some new bands playing some melodic, guitar laden music. I'm sure they're out there. "The Black Crowes" had it going in the 90's, but I think they were coming off the late 80's influence. Has it all turned to the internet? I mean they used to be everywhere. Now it seems like you have to dig for new music that has that old school feel.]]></description>

			<link>http://www.guitar.com/forums/bands__artists/topic/singers__wtf</link>
			<description><![CDATA[Velvet Revolver  - breaking up is hard to do	

Man, tough times.  My band broke up last week.  The worst part is that we just finished a six song lp.  And when I say finished, I mean we got the run of duplicates back from Disc Makers.  

What does this have to do with Velvet Revolver?  It's all about singers.  Check out this statement from VR:  "This band is all about its fans and its music and Scott Weiland isn't 100% committed to either. Among other things, his increasingly erratic onstage behaviour and personal problems have forced us to move on."

Although it is our singer that pulled the plug, it's the same attitude.  They want to live the life style, without putting in the commitment to the music.  We agreed to finishing our 3 remaining show, which included an acoustic set / CD release on Sunday.  A lot of my friends walked out in disgust during our set because of my singer's cavalier, cocky attitude.  It would be one thing if he was the second coming of Axl Rose or Roger Daltry, but he's not.  And never will be.  

Anyone else care to vent? ]]></description>

			<title>Rock Guitar Solo's made easy</title>
			<link>http://www.guitar.com/forums/bands__artists/topic/rock_guitar_solos_made_easy</link>
			<description><![CDATA[Are you a Guitar Nut, and have always wanted to play your favourite guitar solo?

Be cool wouldn’t it?

If you’ve tried then you’ll know it’s not easy,

Firstly you have to listen, piece by piece to the solo, trying to figure out what notes they’re actually playing, which usually means hours and hours of  squatting down with your ear in the speaker, frustratedly jabbing at the pause and rewind buttons, and probably still not getting the actual notes ‘cause they’re going so fast. 

Caution this gives you bad knees, bad temper, and a headache!!

You could always download the tab,

Tabs a good start, but I’ve found that 90% of the tab you can download is frustrating and unreadable, and is usually inaccurate, 

I’ve been a Guitar player for 35 years, and I’ve taught the guitar for a few years.

I teach around 50 students every week, and over the years I’ve worked out the easiest methods and ways of how to learn Guitar solo’s.

Now I’ve put all this work onto Cd’s so you can learn solo’s in an organised, methodical, and easy way, without all of the stress and hassle.

You get a CD with broken down sections of the solo, at various speeds, and the same sections of Bass, Drums, and backing without me playing the solo. Then the whole solo at various speeds, and the whole piece without the solo. All with count-in’s and repeating for several minutes
      You also get a complete tab of the solo, with a log of all the lesson procedure. And chord diagrams for the backing. And it’s only £4.99 + postage.

			<description><![CDATA[I'm the rythm guitarist in a new (just forming) metal/punk band based in Middletown, Ohio. All of the songs will be inspired by horror movies or have a similar theme. The kind of sound we're thinking of is best described as a blend of The Misfits, Type-o Negative, Canibal Corpse, and Black Flag. We're looking for a lead guitarist and possibly a drummer, because the drummer we had lined up is shaky (he's a super busy guy). If you're interested, just drop me a line and I'll fill you in on the details.]]></description>

I advise you to watch this video of his upcoming CD/DVD coming out on March 4th called, "Live at Montreux" from Fontana. I honestly am so excited about this release and I can't wait to get it since he is definitely one of my favorite and inspired me to pick up a guitar and start playing.

			<title>Thrown out of a club by a DJ</title>
			<link>http://www.guitar.com/forums/bands__artists/topic/thrown_out_of_a_club_by_a_dj</link>
			<description><![CDATA[I went to a club in my area early yesterday afternoon to try and get a booking for the band. We used to play there a couple of years ago but the place went out of business and it has reopened with a new owner.

I walked up to the bartender and asked if they planed to have any live music. He said no, they were going to have a DJ. They thought a DJ was much better than a live band and it would better suit the kind of crowd they were looking for.

Then I went into a rant. "A DJ? What the fu*k is a DJ? A human fu*king jukebox. Where is the talent? Put in a disc and press play? My 7 year old son can do that. DJ's are a joke. Who is this bum anyway?"

Well, he let me know in very short order that when he got off at 10:00 as the bartender, he was the DJ.

It pretty much went downhill from there.

London's O2 Arena (Previously the Millenium Dome) - Apparently someone bought a ticket for £82,000 (I think that equates to roughly 167,772.05 of your US Dollars!)

			<link>http://www.guitar.com/forums/bands__artists/topic/hammerfall_and_the_us_army</link>
			<description><![CDATA[An interesting little story about a cool band:

When I was in training at Fort Knox, we had a drill sergeant that was a huge metal head. He had taken the song "heeding the call" by hammerfall, and turned it into a marching cadence for my platoon. 

That particular cadence became a matter of pride for our platoon, partly because it was just awesome, and partly because the lyrics were directly involved in the mindset we had at the time:

Heeding the call, one and for all
Never surrender, with glory we fall
Brothers unite, let's stand up and fight
Fulfilling our fate, we are heeding the call

			<link>http://www.guitar.com/forums/bands__artists/topic/radiohead_conspiracy_theories_totally_nuts_or_just_a_little_nuts</link>
			<description><![CDATA[I guess I'm behind on my conspiracy theories. Apparently some think Radiohead was obsessed with the number 10:

"The album was released on October 10th, or 10/10; In Rainbows is ten letters long and has ten tracks; and just before the album’s release date, posts on Radiohead’s website featured phrases like “March Wa X” and “Xendless Xurbia,” spotlighting the roman numeral X"

And used something called the "Golden Section Theory" :

"The theory centers around a work of ancient mathematics called the Golden Ratio. During the Renaissance, architects and artists used the ratio — which is an actual number, or 1.618 to 1 – to proportion objects in buildings and paintings and thus make the work aesthetically pleasing. What does this have to do with In Rainbows? Well, 61.8 percent way through the album – or 1/1.618 — the strings kick in and the album title’s name is sung in the background vocals."

Whether true or not it's interesting. The human mind I'm learning is quite susceptible to hidden messages and the like so from a marketing perspective it makes sense. ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[on oct 20 1977 a small chartered plane crashed in the woods of mississippi killing some members of the rock band lynyrd skynyrd. we all know some of the great songs produced by this great band. we can only wonder what they would have come up with had they continued on in thier original form. they have done a great job of carrying the torch, but no doubt it is different than it would have been. every year on oct 20 i like to keep them in my mind. i would love to start a thread in thier honor and for everyone to contribute a thought of some kind. these guys were talented and deserve to be remembered. they wrote lyrics that the average everyday person could relate to. most of thier songs were based on real life shit that the regular joe could relate to no matter what your financial or political status was and they showed great musical talent at the same time.

I have just recently created a website with the purpose of inspiring guitarists.

There are also recordings of really neat pieces, photos, and a composer blog. I would really like to know what you think.

			<link>http://www.guitar.com/forums/bands__artists/topic/my_review_of_the_lynyrd_skynyrd_show_10407</link>
			<description><![CDATA[well im back from north carolina and here is my review of the show for anyone who might be interested. this was my 6th time seeing them and this show was short compared to the others. they played an hour and 10 mins, and then the encore was 12 mins. this was dissapointing but they did sound pretty good. t- shirt prices were also dissapointing. i have probably been to 20 shows or more and i have bought numerous shirts for around 25 bucks. the shirts at this show were 35-40 dollars, and i thought that was a little excessive so i did not buy any.  some of the dissapointment could be because of the fact that it was casino entertainment and maybe that explains the short show and lack of an opening act. the other shows on the tour are likely to be longer and also are likely to have at least one opening act. overall the show was enjoyable but not the best i have seen. it was clear however that they are still a talented group and have managed to keep thier sound very consistent despite changes in the lineup over the years. i may post pics later if i can.

			<title>The Scene Shreds</title>
			<link>http://www.guitar.com/forums/bands__artists/topic/the_scene_shreds</link>
			<description><![CDATA[Before anybody says anything, remember that we're all musicians here.  And we're looking at the music, and not the way that they come across.
This particular vid is "Burn the Virgin" from The Confession's debut album "Requim"
I used to think that bands on "The Scene" were talentless, and that all they cared about was looking a certain way.  And that none of the musicians knew anything about music.
And I was completely wrong.  The Scene these days has the hugest variety of good bands, with amazing musicians.  Nowadays, I don't listen to anything other than new music, with the occasional jazz tunes and things like that.  I used to be a huge Classic rock guy, until I started hearing how much new stuff rocked.
Some bands that I think need some mention are bands like Lovehatehero, Escape the Fate, Bayside, Protest The Hero(These guys are fucking ridiculous.) just to name a few.
A favourite pastime of mine is searching through myspace for some lesser known bands that just rock like mad.
If you're not down with these bands because "the vocals are too whiney" or "because they look like fags" keep in mind that in the 70's, bands like Led Zeppelin wore tight pants, had longer hair than most of the girls they had sex with, and sounded completely whiney.
Point : The Scene shreds.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[There is a new club in town called the Handlebar and Grill. They have not been open very long and they have had some good bands there. I was very excited to get a booking there for this Friday night and get into the mix of these good bands because the crowds are getting bigger every week. 
Well our drunk redneck drummer went there last night, got shit faced, started a fight and ended up taking a swing at the club owner. Shortly after he was thrown out on his ass, the owner tore down our band posters, called me on the phone and said the gig is off. 
I should not stereotype these guys but it always seems like the drummers cause the most problems in the bands I have been in.

Does anyone know why?]]></description>

			<link>http://www.guitar.com/forums/bands__artists/topic/billy_corgan_tries_to_pump_up_his_crummy_record_sales_with_a_little_misogyny</link>
			<description><![CDATA[His attempt at recapturing the zeitgeist has been met with a collective lack of attention from those people who still buy records, so what can Billy Corgan do to get his name back in the news? How about saying something "provocative" at the Reading Festival in the hopes that he'll get some e-ink from NME and bloggers?

"Midway through the set stage cameras panned the crowd, which included a scantily clad young woman, about whom Corgan commented "There's something about a girl who's willing to take her top off so quickly."

"American girls are sluts too," he added. "See - isn't it great to be alternative - You can say all those things.""]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Keith Richards has demanded an apology from Swedish newspapers that panned The Rolling Stones concert in the country earlier this month.

Two tabloids, Expressen and Aftonbladet, gave the August 3 show at Ullevi stadium in Goteborg scathing reviews, with Expressen alleging that Richards was very drunk on stage and Aftonbladet giving it a two on a five-point scale, reports the Associated Press.

Aftonbladet's music critic Markus Larsson answered back: "I am not going to apologize for my subjective opinion.

"It is Keith who should apologize. After all it costs around $145 to see a rock star who can hardly handle the riff to 'Brown Sugar' any more."]]></description>

The members of hellraising rockers Motley Crue dared each other to break sexual taboos for big money rewards.

During their heyday, the band were famous for their outrageous behaviour, something bassist Nikki Sixx is embarrassed about now.

He tells Blender magazine, "For us it was always, 'Let's set a goal for something stupid and see if we can do it.' We would put bounties out on stupid s**t, like whoever could sleep with the fattest chick.

"And managers would start getting involved - one of them said there was a $10,000 bounty out for whoever could sleep with a mother-daughter team. Then that became too easy, so it was a mother-daughter-grandmother team. You couldn't pay me now to do half that s**t".]]></description>

			<title>The 50 Hottest Women In Music - with rules!</title>
			<link>http://www.guitar.com/forums/bands__artists/topic/the_50_hottest_women_in_music__with_rules</link>
			<description><![CDATA[Rule #1 (The Madonna Rule): This list is based on recent hotness. It doesn't matter how hot an artist was back in the ‘80s. It's 2007. What have you done for us lately?
Rule #2 (The Hayden Panettiere Rule): To qualify for this list, an artist must be over 18 years of age. We only objectify of-age women here.
Rule #3 (The Newcomer Rule): Each artist must have released at least one full-length album prior to August 1st, 2007 in order to qualify.
Rule #4 (The Pseudo-Musician Rule): Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton are disqualified for obvious reasons.
Rule #5 (The Ashlee Simpson Rule): A woman can move up a few spots based on talent and/or personality. However, they cannot be hurt by lack of talent. Just like in real life.
Rule #6 (The Anastacia Rule): A prolonged absence from the musical spotlight can bring an artist down several notches. This is, after all, a list of the hottest women in music, so it's only appropriate that they stay active in music.
Rule #7 (The Dixie Chicks Rule): For a group, the ranking will be determined by averaging the hotness of all members.

Bring on the "this list sucks because they forgot__________"

			<description><![CDATA[
After concluding our Sunday night show at Lollapalooza, fans informed us that portions of that performance were missing and may have been censored by AT&T during the "Blue Room" Live Lollapalooza Webcast.

When asked about the missing performance, AT&T informed Lollapalooza that portions of the show were in fact missing from the webcast, and that their content monitor had made a mistake in cutting them.

During the performance of "Daughter" the following lyrics were sung to the tune of Pink Floyd's "Another Brick in the Wall" but were cut from the webcast:

- "George Bush, leave this world alone." (the second time it was sung); and

- "George Bush find yourself another home."

This, of course, troubles us as artists but also as citizens concerned with the issue of censorship and the increasingly consolidated control of the media.]]></description>

Who’s the best singer that ever walked the planet? Best band ever to ever play live? Despite copious lists and countdowns, no definitive answers have ever been reached. To this day, we have no conclusive proof as to whether The Beatles were better than The Rolling Stones . . . or The Who . . . or U2. This list makes no attempt to resolve any argument over the best musicians who ever lived. Rather, it resolves the question of ranking the best bands that never really existed.]]></description>

It comes in the form of Plant's duet album with country singer Alison Krauss, Raising Sand, due out October 23.

This follows the trend set recently by Bon Jovi and John Mellencamp, who have both actively pursued the country music market. But, you may remember that the two dueted at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame tribute concert for Leadbelly a few years ago.

T-Bone Burnett, a Gillian Welch mainstay and the most of the brains behind the soundtrack for O Brother, Where Art Thou?, produced the album for the couple. It features covers of songs by Mel Tillis, Tom Waits, Townes Van Zandt, Gene Clark, Doc Watson, Milton Campbell and the Everly Brothers.

The album also features contributions from Marc Ribot (who often plays with Tom Waits), as well as Mike Seeger and Norman Blake.]]></description>

He told Rolling Stone: “And a lot of that has to do with the fact that it’s hard for me to get rid of thirty years — whatever it is — twenty-some-odd years of playing in a certain way and then all of the sudden become accustomed to pressing some buttons and stuff. 

“I have these little things that I’m so used to doing that when I’m playing Guitar Hero it sort of screws me up.”

			<title>The 15 Best Songs That Are Totally About Masturbation</title>
			<link>http://www.guitar.com/forums/bands__artists/topic/the_15_best_songs_that_are_totally_about_masturbation</link>
			<description><![CDATA[Cracked.com lists the songs that make reference to, or are about every guys favorite past time. #1 on the list:

Elvis Costello - "Pump it up"
Down in the pleasure centers,
Hell bent or heaven sent,
Listen to the propaganda,
Listen to the latest slander.
There's nothing underhand,
That she wouldn't understand.
Pump it up until you can feel it.
Pump it up when you don't really need it.

My favorite however I think is number 10 on the list:

Chuck Berry - "My Ding-A-Ling"
When I was little boy in grammar school,
Always went by the very best rule,
But every time the bell would ring,
You'd catch me playing with my ding-a-ling.]]></description>

			<title>Devo Smack Down Korn, Talk First New Album In Nearly Two Decades</title>
			<link>http://www.guitar.com/forums/bands__artists/topic/devo_smack_down_korn_talk_first_new_album_in_nearly_two_decades</link>
			<description><![CDATA[“Humans are continuing to evolve as a species,” says a man wearing a ridiculous white wig and moustache. “But instead of evolving forward we are evolving backward.” This is all part of Korn’s fake trailer for a film called Devolution: Nature’s U-Turn, which argues that chaos on the planet is proof mankind is slowly devolving back into apes.

Sound familiar? It sure did to Jerry Casale, whose band Devo has been making movies and songs about De-evolution since their formation in 1972. Casale, who learned of the project when a rattled Devo fan sent him the link, responded by posting a brief message on the official Devo Web site: “Korn Runs Rampant w/ Devolution — No Nod to DEVO,” he wrote. “We denounce this as imposters playing with fire.”

Here's a link to the trailer, pretty funny: http://www.evolutiondevolution.com/trailer/index.html]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Time is gold, but if you have it to spare check out this vid of a Jerry Donahue video from a few years back [like 20]. After his influences are discussed and such there is some great close-up footage of his bending technique in action. He'll bend B on the 3rd string up a whole step, then grab the D# on the 2nd string, they harmonize, and finally he brings the 3rd string back down and at the same time takes the 2nd string with it, bending it a half step. Very hip pedal steel trickery without the pedals.]]></description>

Although I do think he at times trys to play beyond his limits in skill hes still pretty bad ass and on a whole other note  311 as a whole is the best preforming band I have ever seen live.  They really are top notch preforming artists.

Interested in what other people think of him.  Hes got a fun and creative 2 solo's in this song.  I posted a link to the video

Jim Morrison - After the statutory rape scandal of the late 1980s, he headed into hiding until firefighters had to break down the door of his house in 1992 to get his 980-pound body to a hospital for weight loss treatment and medical care. A month later, he fell into a persistent vegetative state, becoming the subject of a lengthy public debate about when to "pull the plug." Ultimately, his wife, Jane Fonda pulled the plug in 1995 after lengthy court battles with his family.]]></description>

Pretty innocuous, right? Like it's a little more in the punk rock tradition than, say, "She's like so whatever." "

			<description><![CDATA[From the article: Robbie Williams, Iron Maiden and Corinne Bailey Rae will shortly have their music available in a DRM-free format via retailers including Burger King.

The fast food chain is to distribute a series of codes offering its customers the opportunity to download a pre-paid, DRM-free EMI track from a campaign website.

Links through to online retailers will offer customers the opportunity to purchase other EMI tracks.

EMI Music has agreed a deal with Chicago-based digital agency VerveLife to offer its client list, which includes Burger King, the opportunity to use DRM-free music for promotional purposes.

It follows the majors' decision to drop DRM protection of its digital music in order to ensure that consumers can play the track purchased on any device.

This is great. You get DRM free music and a heart attack! No but seriously a step in the right direction.]]></description>

			<title>4/5 of the classic Guns N' Roses lineup to reunite next week</title>
			<link>http://www.guitar.com/forums/bands__artists/topic/45_of_the_classic_guns_n_roses_lineup_to_reunite_next_week</link>
			<description><![CDATA[Fans pining for a reunion of the classic Guns N’ Roses lineup (or, for that matter, the release of the long-awaited Chinese Democracy, from the current lineup) probably shouldn’t hold their breath for, well, either at this point. But if original Guns drummer Steven Adler is to be believed, there is a small glimmer of hope on the horizon. Guitar World caught up with Adler at the Rocklahoma festival in Pryor, Oklahoma, this past weekend, where he revealed he will be part of a special event celebrating the 20th anniversary of Guns N' Roses’ seminal debut album, Appetite for Destruction, scheduled to take place at the Key Club, in Los Angeles, on July 28. Said Adler, "I'll be down there with my band [Adler's Appetite], and Slash, Izzy [Stradlin] and Duff [McKagan] will be there too. It’s gonna be great."

But while Adler promises a reunion of four-fifths of the original Guns lineup (the Key Club web site currently lists performances by Adler's Appetite, LA Guns and "very special guests"), what about the infamous fifth member? The drummer doesn’t expect Axl Rose to show for the gig, though he is confident that a full reunion will happen…eventually. "Axl and I spoke to each other in Las Vegas recently, and I know there's a chance," Adler said. "It's just too big. Whatever the Stones make when they play, we'd triple it. It'd be ridiculous not to do it. He can't be that goofy."

Tickets for the July 28 show at the Key Club are on sale now, at Ticketmaster.com.

			<description><![CDATA[I just checked out the "your 2¢" link and the topic is "Greatest Guitarist of all time". Now, I think this is really relative to when you grew up and what music you listened to. If You're not into Dream Theater you will have no idea who John Petrucci is, or if you were born after the 70's you might not be into Carlos Santana. So how does one really determine just who is the "Greatest of all time"? The whole thing is just really subjective to me. Everyone's got an opinion, and those opinions vary drastically.

That's my real 2¢!!]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[AS childhood traumas go, catching someone violating your dog has to be one of the worst. And Metallica guitarist KIRK HAMMETT says he has never recovered from the sight he witnessed at just 11-years-old.

Kirk said he stumbled across his poor pet Tippy being penetrated by his perverted next door neighbour.

Kirk told Q magazine: "The guy took down his pants and started having sex with the dog!

"I didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"When he got up, I just took the dog and left.

"She was still wagging her tail."]]></description>

			<link>http://www.guitar.com/forums/bands__artists/topic/live_shows</link>
			<description><![CDATA[in your profile it asks you to list the best concert you have been to and i find that to be very difficult. i would be interested in finding out what shows you have been to, which ones were the best for you, and why.

i have seen 
lynyrd skynyrd - 5 times
travis tritt - 4 times
zz top - 2 times
alabama - 2 times
hank williams jr - 2 times
peter frampton
ted nugent
ac dc
govt mule
.38 special
earl thomas conley
lee greenwood
ricky van shelton
tracy lawrence
the poor
the wreckers
montgomery gentry

i would like to see
willie nelson
bob seger
merle haggard
john fogerty
alan jackson

i liked skynyrd for obvious reasons. all those great songs. i know that the original band is gone forever, but the current lineup can rock. they did a good job.

travis tritt impressed me because he has a very good voice, and he was very fan friendly. he was also a better guitarist than i had imagined. he played some hot licks on his tele and he also includes about 35 mins of sitting on a barstool, just him and a gibson acoustic/elec. i wish i could do so well.

zz top was great . they were without a doubt the loudest band i have seen. 
billy gibbons is an impressive guitarist and they have had some excellent songs.
his vocals are very unique.

hank williams jr blew me away. he is so good. he can sing traditional country music very well and he also does several rock inspired songs. there are very few guys who can do both and do them well.]]></description>

They can be famous or not, dead or alive. What's you're ultimate match up?

Myself, I think a wild match up would be:

Dr. John on piano, Brian Setzer and Stevie Ray Vaughan on guitars, John Bonham may be stretching it, but the combo could have been dfferent, and Rinus Gerritsen on bass.

Who would you see as an ultimate match up? Any artist, any genre, you pick you're match up.]]></description>

			<title>Concrete Blonde...among the coolest bands ever.</title>
			<link>http://www.guitar.com/forums/bands__artists/topic/concrete_blondeamong_the_coolest_bands_ever</link>
			<description><![CDATA[Just got done listening to their CD "Mexican Moon"...and I'm astonished how few people have experienced what may have been among the best combination of unique guitar work and fantastic lyrics ever.

For those that don't know...the band's guitarist, James Mankey, is a fingerpicker that seems to reinvent his tone constantly.  While some similarities to Mark Knopfler are there-and that's a good thing-James takes his playing all over the guitar spectrum from chicken-pickin' to quasi-metal to...well, almost everywhere.

Johnette Napalitano is the vocalist/lyicist, and the yin to Mankey's yang.  She usually plays bass, though that is sometimes limited by a nerve disorder.  For first time listeners, she creates astonishing worlds of passion, pain, cynicism, predators, prey...and an underlying clinging to some innocence at the center of her soul which keeps her and her songs from just becoming a pile of jaded jabs at life.

Indeed, she avoids that masterfully.

They've had a couple drummers, and have had bassists play on tracks here and there...but the core of the band is a combination of the two geniuses described above.  If you like cool, hard-to-describe music...I'd suggest starting with "Free", their second album (and my favorite).

You'll thank me.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I really have to say that Floyd is my favorite band.  Waters' and Gilmour's writing, singing, and playing skills are unbelievable, and you cannot forget Wright, Mason, and Syd.  The majority of my favorites are after Syd's time, yet you cannot rule him out because he was so much inspiration for them.  The lyrics they wrote are so deep and can be taken in so many ways, and anyone and everyone can relate to what they say and what messages they put out.  And no matter how much I listen to their albums, Gilmour's style blows me away.  They really had an artistic way of laying out their albums in terms of the flow and return, flow and return sense.  I mean take the Dark Side of the Moon and The Wizard of OZ, it's so unique.  And the things they used to do with inks and acids at shows back in the day were unreal, stuff no one was doing then. As a group of writers and players, they were one of a kind.  However, this is one guy's opinion.  Agree, Disagree??]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Ok, so I don't know how to do the video Embed thing, but here's the Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=baDM3_6w8-E
Honestly...can anybody deny that Stanley Jordan is just one of THE most intense and amazing players EVER?
He started out as a Pianist, and when he made the switch to guitar, he had no problem, but thought it was tuned the same way as a piano, tuning it strictly in 4ths(low to high: E-A-D-G-C-F)
Also, check out this vid: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OHZTyfKseZE&mode=related&search=  at around 1:53 he just starts going nuts, and he's just...THE most amazing player ever, and I have never seen ANYBODY play like this guy.  truly amazing.]]></description>

			<title>MAROON 5 It Won't Be Soon Before Long</title>
			<link>http://www.guitar.com/forums/bands__artists/topic/maroon_5_it_wont_be_soon_before_long</link>
			<description><![CDATA[So Maroon 5 is finally back! Although the album is released on the 22 of May, you can now preview it on MTV's The LEAK. So far the songs are great, but perhaps not as great as Songs about Jane. I guess they simply reach the elite status of their first album that brought them to star-doom. One of the things that i didn't like about this album was the fact that the band did not incorporate enough -or any in most cases- guitar solos in their songs. But, anyways, overall,  i would give the 4 out 5 stars. Great job guys!]]></description>

			<title>Adrian Smith or Dave Murray?</title>
			<link>http://www.guitar.com/forums/bands__artists/topic/adrian_smith_or_dave_murray</link>
			<description><![CDATA[Ok, so I don't know how many of you are Iron Maiden fans, personally I think their new material is weak/anything after Seventh Son isn't that great, BUT they are still amazing musicians.
Anywho, I'm just wondering who everybody likes more, Dave Murray or Adrian Smith?
Now there's no point in arguing who's better, because it's obvious that neither is better than the other, just that they have completely different styles.
Me personally, I like Adrian Smith more, I just like the way he does his solos, I find Dave Murray is too much slurring, even though I can't say much because it's a big part of my playing, but something about the way he does it, I'm just not the hugest fan.  Needless to say, he's still a freakin radical guitar player.
Also, I'm wondering what kind of guitar Adrian is playing there?
I don't know a whole lot about gear, I guess that's my downfall, I care more about my playing, although I'm sure some gear knowledge wouldn't hurt.
ANYWHO, just wondering what you think of these amazing musicians.]]></description>

			<title>Jason Becker.  Is this guy amazing or what?</title>
			<link>http://www.guitar.com/forums/bands__artists/topic/jason_becker__is_this_guy_amazing_or_what</link>
			<description><![CDATA[Ok, so all of the vitruoso players, I would have to say that Jason Becker is probably my favourite.
Is there anybody out there who agrees?
Honestly, I never hear people talking about him, and the only way that I found out about him was because I'm a huge Marty Friedman fan, and I heard some of Jason's stuff when he was with Cacophony.
Needless to say I was blown away, and after listening to Perpetual Burn, I was like, "Honestly, there's something way different about this guy.  I don't know what it is, but he's just amazing"
And then he got Lou Gehrig's disease and can't even move.  Even then, he composed music using a crazy setup that involved him moving the cursor with his eye movements and clicking by opening his mouth.
Nowadays he can't move anything except for his eyes, and thats how he communicates.
Isn't that just totally un-cool?  He could of been one of the greatest guitarists ever, and right as he started to make his mark, he's diagnosed with Lou Gehrig's.
Anywho, I'm just wondering what people's thoughts are on his playing, and basically I just wanted people who don't know him to check him out, because in my opinion, although he's not the fastest, and there are people better than him, he was amazing and is one of my heroes.]]></description>

Mr. Big was like a supergroup, i mean just gilbert and sheehan on the same stage is a miracle!  i know how cap'n fantastic feels about him, having auditioned for one of his bands in Vegas, but how about the rest of you?  is he amazing or what?  and if you haven't heard of him, get out of my yard!!!

John petrucci is an amazing guitarist, who has recently turned into a bear, and shreds HARD!  john myung is arguably the t bassist around, at least who plays a 6 string.  mike portnoy is definatly the best drummer hands down.  i could honestly talk about DT for days on end.  Anyway, how does everybody else feel about them?  and also has anybody heard the string tribute to them?  its one of the best string tributes ive ever heard]]></description>
