Im not really yellow.

Damn them for raising gas prices, my bus ticket to Montreal is now 300 instead of 250....

Religion is a good idea, but with very poor execution.

I usually keep the main rhythm parts- they are often the ones everyone knows. When it comes to the solo, i usually stay faithful, but occasionally ill play any cool sounding lick ive come up that fits with it. Most listeners dont notice something subtle like that, but they can pick up the feel that ...

My favorite acoustic ones to play are goodbye and a drop in the ocean. Dont ask me to now since im very really drunk,

I found a tab for the 5th a la malmsteen awhile ago, i learned bits and pieces of it (some parts were pretty boring to play). As for the other, Ive never found one.

It's actually quite complex, though it isnt RIDICULOUSLY hard. That tab is also grossly incomplete... then again, it's actually tabbed on the d-minor scale like its supposed to be played, and not the a-minor like other tabs are. Find one of the a-minor tabs and throw a capo on the fifth. (though you...

Heyy, this is a message board, not a television set.

Find your own voice... Find your own style... Tolkki's guitar style has been emulated many times, by many players, and the wannabes never exceed, or even come close to the originals. Trying to play exactly like Tolkki will no make you a good musician, you have to discover your own style of play for...

Beastie Boys

Even so, I laughed.

I got a kick out of it... And, I actually stole my copy of the album, in broad daylight...

Opening is not the way to gain fame. It may very well be the opposite. No offense to you at all, but when an audience is treated to an opening act, they will usually just be impatient for the main show... personally, im glad there's no opening act for Montreal now (again no offense) cause thats just...

Ill update my tab a bit now, as I have a couple minutes. Chorus part- same as the intro, but all powerchords (ex: Ab|--9 instead of Eb|--7 .......Eb|--7 Verse: (mute all but hammer-ons and slides) Db|-0h2---------------------------------- Ab|-0h2----2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2 Eb|----------0-0-0-0-0-0-0...

Here's the intro arranged for guitar. I'm too lazy to tab out the whole thing right now, though Ive got it all in my head (listened to the video about ten times today...). I'll put the rest of it here tomorrow for you though. Db|---------------------------------5----- Ab|-7---7-5-7---7-5-7---7-5-7--...

DOOT! DOODOODOOT! DOODOODOOT! DOODOODOODOODOODOODOOT! DOODOODOOT! DOODOODOOT! DOODOODUNDUNDUNDUNDOOT! DOODOODOOT! DOODOODOOT! DOODOODOODOODOODUNDUNDUNDUNDUNDUNDUNDUNDUNDUNDUNDUNNNNN!!!!

Jens blew up a fucking toilet. Nothing is more metal than that.

Uh, ok, why not? All the karma from eveyone's picks should logically make you stupidly good, no?

Yeah.

Well, everybody is different, but those happen to be my favorite 2 albums...

uh, I just used the basic windows sound recorder for that, cause it was short and i didnt bother doing anything fancy. For recording/mixing kind of shit, i use either Reason or Cool Edit.

Good stuff.... is good, good stuff. Really cant wait til the new album comes out now! If only they had previews for the other songs as well. Also, I predict there will be many chants of "Fight! Fight! Fight!" at upcoming Strato shows, from the one minute sample given, I conclude that song to be fuck...

Too fast? Uh, yeah, I guess it is. I had nothing to time myself by.

I claim a mulligan.

Oh yeah, I recorded it via a microphone plugged into my computer. i just balanced it on the edge of the table close to where i was playing.

My electric is missing several strings, so I used an acoustic for this. My sound recording is crap so you may need to turn up your volume. This was a very half-assed recording, so dont expect anything fancy. I just saw this topic and decided this would be a fun thing to do! www.anime-galaxies.com/so...

...I dont like it. Charging a famous and possibly rich person 7000$ for a speeding ticket, is the same thing as letting a famous and possibly rich person get away with a 0$ speeding ticket. It's discrimination, and shouldn't be done, and yet it is.... nobody should be above, or below, the law.

I dont know if Tuomo is a better drummer than Jorg... its really hard to judge because the drumlines became somewhat simpler after fourth dimension. Suffice to say that theyre both very talented drummers though. EDIT: Looking back, it may be because Tuomo was more involed in earlier songwriting that...

For guitar, the flat out hardest solo is probably the kiss of judas... there's some very sick tapping in there that I havent been able to figure out correctly by listening to the song- let alone be able to play. Stratofortress is also very difficult, but its not terribly difficult technically, its j...
