Re: Off Topic 2012

Yowza... was just talking to a friend online, was describing my downstairs neighbor (we're having another music war) as "spike lee's twin". Her response, "oh and who is spike lee?"



edit: it get's better, she just replied "I know who bruce lee is"

That's like my ex-girlfriend not knowing who James Brown was when he died or that bitch I had to go to a wedding for not knowing Billie Jean was a Michael Jackson song.

29 out of 32 so far...Can't remember who sings Round & Round. The one after Jethro Tull I didn't know...also the one after Motorhead.

Spoilers!

Gave the first 50 a listen. I was expecting the actual songs. Will have to listen through again on a few of them. And now the second 50. On the first run through I did a lot better on the first 50. This guy's distortion was annoying me.

Re: Off Topic 2012

For some reason I'm only getting 48 songs...is the problem on my end?

btw, I'm having multiple brain farts right now.

It'd be helpful if there were noticeable breaks, but it sounds like he's trying to link them like a chain. Once I hit 13/14 I got confused with one of them and that threw me off, so I stopped. I'll try and get through them all tonight.

Some of these I wouldn't classify as riffs either...

Yeah. And you don't get the differing styles that can help too. There were long stretches, especially in the 2nd 50, where it was just a glob of distorted power chords for a bunch in a row.

Re: Off Topic 2012

I feel like if I post what I really think about them I will come off as a music and guitar douchebag.


First 50

Watson, tell your professor that he needs to layoff the distortion for about a month.

Spoiler

If he wants chunky riff power he needs a Les Paul. Strats are more for clear, leading tones.
