Bonzo is without a doubt the best, he changed the way everybody played drums. No more simple 4/4 counts with simple fills, it was loud, good, and full of energy. After him...well...for rock and roll drummers there are too many to count. But Bonzo is the best, no ifs or buts. I dislike unqualified s...

Justice Antonin Scalia, who voted with the minority in Lawrence, wrote a scathing dissent which made it clear he favored the ability of states to forbid sexual expression they deemed immoral whether the proscribed behavior takes place in private or not.

I was out all day, so I had a first hand look at the lines in a variety of places. In the busy spots it wasn't so different, but the smaller shopping areas is where the difference stood out - they were much more packed than usual.
I decided to brush up on my alternate best of collections, and got greatest hits collections of Nirvana, Guns n Roses, Stone Temple Pilots, Smashing Pumpkins, Pearl Jam, Pantera, Dokken + Megadeth - Countdown to Extinction, Jimi Hendrix - Live at the Filmore East, Kenny G - At Last, The Duets, Emers...
The TV is on most of the time in the house, so I can't help but hearing/getting glimpses of some of it everytime I walk through that section of the house or am fixing dinner, but the time where I sit down to watch something generally involves the news or a few minutes of Jay Leno every now and then,...

you know what it is? i think it's that a piano is much more forgiving to lack of musical theory knowledge. guitars arn't as forgiving. Hmm, I think you can look at that both ways. For piano, unless you have significant musical knowledge and/or playing ability, you won't be able to get away with foo...
can't believe you missed Keith Jarrett in your list of pianists! I know who he is, but I unfortunately haven't really heard any of his work yet. Is there a particular album you recommend? In the world of Jazz there's of course Dave Brubeck. He's good too, but doesn't quite make my favorites list ye...
I'm curious how many piano and keyboard players we have here, and various specs about them. For me, I've been playing 9 years, have a Kurzweil PC-88 MX, and though I play several other instruments, I consider keyboards my main instrument currently. Favorite players include: Rock: Jordan Rudess, Rick...
Here are some samples of what I like. Some of the artist/genre classifications could probably be more correct. Acoustic: Paco De Lucia, Al Di Meola, Michael Hedges, Phil Keaggy, John McLaughlin Alternative: Audioslave, Cold, Foo Fighters, Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins, Tool, Splender, Staind, Three Doo...
roid, just don't buy Ibanez I don't like them, first, they're foreign made and American guitars are made with a much higher quality. ^ - blind nationalist :-P not a blind nationalist clayman, it's simple math. Japanese, Korean, Taiwanese guitars are built with cheaper wood, hardware, wiring, machin...
Other witnesses said the shark had been six metres (19ft) long and circled Mrs Webb before attacking. Jaws was 25ft. I don't have Guiness in front of me, but I seem to remember the record find being 27 feet. So 19 feet is big, yes, gargantuan, no. I used to study sharks and read books about them a ...
There are some guys that scare me by always staring at me or my friends in the mall. They pretend to be shopping, but then they stare again. It gives me the creeps. There's a decent chance that if you and your friends are really cute, they're just ogling without manners. You never can be sure thoug...
roid, just don't buy Ibanez I don't like them, first, they're foreign made and American guitars are made with a much higher quality. ^ - blind nationalist :-P I actually like Ibanez guitars quite a lot. My bass is an Ibanez, and I've liked all the ones I've played in stores and such. On the other h...
I have my own table (inherited) and cues, but I couldn't tell you jack about the specs. I used to play more often when I had people over at the house a lot, but not in the past few years. I've been thinking about taking it back up again recently though, even borrowed a few books on playing technique...
Nice purchase Z.

not a horrible level in terms of layout. Decent interconnection, some good dogfight-type rooms, and some tunnels Ah, but alas, very little dog-fighting goes on in those dog-fighting rooms. I got a few good laughs reading/posting in the SD threads, and watching Dancerites moth fusion in there, but n...
