We will be doomed so long as people like you continue to keep your collective heads in the sand. I honestly can't believe you managed to turn a thread about Holocost denial into a thread criticizing Israel.

I have a Pali on Proudmoore, but recently I've been playing on Drenden.

I just got back into it last week. /dev/null - WoW doesn't require quite as much time as EQ, and it's a lot better for soloing when compared to most other MMORPG's. If you can find a buddy to play with, and you get access to a Teamspeak or Ventrillo server, it can be a lot of fun. edit: What realm(s) are all of you currently on?

2006 883 Sportster. Broke my neck, and had to find it a new home.

I'm afraid to ask... but what did she have to say?

So the question now becomes: How far is Iran gonna push this thing? http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/worl...icle1563877.ece They have to know that anything less than a catch and release is not only going to incur the wrath of the US and the Brits, but seriously hurt their world standing at a time where they are already on shaky ground.

I wonder what he didn't like about Buffalo women? Not thuggish enough?

Anyone into Opeth?

I can't stand the way Heafy sings on the new album. It sounds like a Hetfield impersonation. I loved Ascendancy though, great album. Anyway, it's about time we had a decent metal thread 'round these here parts!!! I've been listening to Amon Amarth and the new Shadows Fall lately. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JFq2YJKYa-k (This song makes me want to be a Viking.)

www.penny-arcade.com Great web comic, with some of the best writing out there. They also have a very large forum community.

That was f'n weird.

"If you take out uncovered meat and place it outside on the street, or in the garden or in the park, or in the backyard without a cover, and the cats come and eat it...whose fault is it, the cats or the uncovered meat? The uncovered meat is the problem."

I have been using Line 6 for over 10 years now. I have an AxSys 212 and a Vetta HD/4x12 setup. Both are great amps, and I've also heard very good things about the Spiders, but I have yet to play through one. Overall, the flexiblity of the Line 6 products make them ideal for metal and modern rock. When combined with their FBX pedal, you will be able to get just about every tone and effect that you will ever need right at the tip of your toe. The only complaint I have ever had with them is that their simulated feedback can be a little bit too much, and sometimes at very high stage volume, you need to make adjustments to your drive on distorted channels (but that's a concern with nearly all amps, digital or analog).

By that logic, then Fates Warning must be the most interesting band in the universe. I used to play with a drummer who insisted on doing everything in oddball time signatures. Difficult, yes. Interesting, not always. But I'm not going to get into that too much with you , as I always thought "Money" was a decent song. You honestly think that "Is there anybody out there" and "Comfortably numb" are amongst the most "interesting" tracks on the wall? Don't get me wrong, I love comfortably numb and have done a cover of it in just about every non-tribute band I've ever been in. But to cite it as one of the more musically interesting tunes on that album is a bit of a stretch. "Is there anybody out there" is just filler if you ask me. The interesting tracks from a musical standpoint on that record are ones like "In the flesh", "Goodbye blue sky", "Run like hell", "Waiting for the worms" and possibly most notably, "The trial". For me, Floyd was never the same once Waters left. He on his own was decent (Amused to Death is a great album, Radio KAOS, not so much) and the Momentary Lapse/Division Bell incarnation of Floyd was a little too bland without Waters sense of the theatrical. Again, for me the sweet spot was the Animals/Wall era.

Ummm... no. I will not notice that. I don't think I could seriously consider the Wall to be uninteresting from a musical standpoint. It's all a matter of opinion, but being a musician, I can't really think of anything to support that notion.

I wish it was illegal to spam a politics forum with news links and not even bother to offer your opinion on the thread that you started.

True, but since my favorite Floyd albums are Animals and The Wall, I consider Rog as the definative Floyd vocalist. I've always had a fairly low opinion of Dark Side. (Low with respect to their other albums)

It's not as though he is just a bass player. He is also a singer, and did most of Floyd's vocal work as well as being their primary songwriter prior to his departure. I would love to see the show, but y wedding is the next day.

Back off. She's mine.

"Yall" was a nickname I picked up in college. Prior to school I was in the Army, and picked up a few bits of southern dialect along the way, including a propensity to say things like "yall" and "fixin". I would regularly go to my friends house next door and say things like "Yall mother f*ckers fixin to go out tonight?" or "Yall mother f*ckers wanna get high?". Everyone started calling me "Yall mother f*cker" which then just became "Yall". After a while, half the people on campus thought it was my real name, and it has stuck with me ever since.

I think I'd rather you steal the mac!

Magic 8 ball says "300". Critics have been panning it, but people I've talked to that are movie go-ers seem to have really enjoyed it. As for what I would like to do right now: I want to go home and play with my new toys that are waiting for me thanks to the Fed-Ex man (a Macbook and a set of Rolland V Drums).

But those are prog-rock bands, whose very existence thrives on complex arrangements. I don't think anyone is trying to compare Boston with those bands. I wouldn't lump them in the same peer group. Boston is far more complex than say Nirvana or the Sex Pistols, but I wouldn't even begin to compare as the genre's are so different. And you might have heard some garage bands do Boston (hell we used to cover "Peace of Mind" when I was in high school in the early 90's) but I'm willing to bet you didn't hear many of them do it well.

Compared to what? Vivaldi? Yeah, you win that one. But if we are comparing Boston to their peers at the time (or even pop music in general), it's far from simplistic in either the style of compositon or production quality.

Too bad, great comic.
