  1. Your Top 10 Favourite Songs of All Time

    10. Dream Theater - Learning to Live Prog metal at it's finest, an 11-minute journey of beautiful and engaging music, without ever becoming self-indulgent as many other DT songs do. 9. Led Zeppelin - Stairway to Heaven Cliche, but goddamn it's such a good song. Plant's vocals in that final...

  3. The Concert Thread

    First band I ever saw was Metallica in 08, seen them twice more since then (The 08 show was fucking amazing, great setlist and energy from the band and the crowd). The 09 show had great support acts too (specifically ALICE IN CHAINS who were incredible). 08 wins for having "Fade to Black" on the...
  4. Your Favourite Songs

    Death - Voice of the Soul The most utterly sublime and melodic piece of music ever recorded by mankind. One man pouring out his heart into three guitars. Says more without even speaking than any poet ever could. Metallica - Orion Another instrumental. The midsection features the greatest riff...
  5. the do you do music thread

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xvVO0Wj9LnQ&feature=related Cover of Rush's YYZ that my band recorded to land us a local gig, have a look please :) I'm the guitarist and my brother's the drummer.
  6. the do you do music thread

    Borrowed some automatic recorder from a friend today. Tried it out earlier, not the highest quality in the world but it sounds alright. It's a bit fiddly to use and requires the song to be stapled together after the fact but because my brother is a fucking amazing editor there's no troubles...
  7. What makes you HAPPY today?

    Finishing up the 10th of my 11 exams and not having to worry about the last one for three weeks. Spending the afternoon catching up with my best friend who I hadn't seen in ages =D Being on a random hot-streak for song writing just as my band starts to get back together post-exams =D
  8. Hardest video game level/boss you've ever faced

    Grandia II, the Core of Valmar. Oh God trying to beat that when I was 8 and had no idea about stat-ups or equipping skills or any other basic RPG strategies that one needs to defeat a game's ultimate boss. Finally beating it after literally weeks of attempts was SO SATISFYING.
  9. This obviously required its own thread.

    It's the B minor pentatonic scale. Or D major pentatonic, whichever floats your boat. Lowest note is A. Just thought I'd help out anyone who wants to mess around
  10. first world problems

    I got suspended for a day for forgetting a music book. FWP
  11. What classic game do I start with today?

    LttP. Best game ever made. This is basically fact.
  12. new metalheads thread

    I'm not a drummer myself but my brother is. Acoustic is probably better as it's easier to play, then again you can't turn an acoustic set down, my brother plays his in the attic with loads of insulation between him and my parents and they still hear it. Electric kits are still loud even with...
  13. Nuzlocke Challenge

    Hello again ladies and gentlefolk, a while back I purchased a copy of Pokemon Platinum, and I've been Nuzlocking that while doing my Gold. And let me tell you, it's a FUCKTON harder. I've already lost two Pokemon, haven't lost ANY in Gold. OK so I'd just lost my whole team against Gardenia's...
  14. Nuzlocke Challenge

    I've been playing a Nuzlocke on my Gold, and haven't done any updates, but sure I'll do one now. Started out with a Cyndaquil, named "Dante". Slaughtered several defenceless Pokemon on my way to Mr Pokemon's and back, including a Totodile belonging to some ginger-haired pussy who couldn't take...

    "History always finds a way. Shoot the dictator? But he's just the boil that forms from the social pus of a down-trodden nation, another would replace him. Shoot him too? You might as well just shoot everyone and invade Poland" - Terry Pratchett Every lyric in the song "The Thin Line Between...
  16. Musical Instruments Thread

    Been playing the guitar for two and a half years. No grades yet although I'm aiming for 5/6 soon. I play the thing basically non-stop, and I'm currently arranging all of Toccata and Fugue for guitar/bass (Ironic that a previous poster mentioned it) for my AS-level Music performance. I'm in a...
  17. In-Game Music

    It was already posted on the last page but... Champion's Theme from G/S/C... My God. Me and my brother had a copy of Crystal, and our parents had never liked us playing it with the volume on cause they thought it was tinny and annoying, so we got into the habit of playing it sans volume. But...
  18. Mental illness

    I have a mild-ish case of Aspergers, although it is very much something I grew to live with. Even the person I was a year ago would be barely recognisable next to the person I am today. However my Aspergers is also very strong in some areas, while others I have learned to deal with. The most...
  19. Do you write music?

    I'm a guitarist and I just write songs. My music is kinda metal-ish but it's not the whole "Wave of palm muted power chords" crap. Acoustic bits, clean riffs, heavier sections, pedal note riffs etc. Just fun stuff to make the music interesting as fun. And I have great fun using my theory...
  20. What's Your Favorite Movie?

    The Princess Bride. Far too many spectacularly hilarious scenes. And the fact it pretends to be a dramatic romantic film just makes the surreal humour even more hilarious. Seriously though, how can anyone not just break down giggling at the crowning moment of awesome which is "HALLO. MY NAME IS...
