Also, @none, Hatebeak was hilarious. As far as pure novelty bands go it's great. I remember discovering them a long time ago. There was a similar band that did it with dogs if I remember right.

 I liked Obituary but i was never a big fan of them. Forgot about newer bands like Darkest Hour, try this growler gents.

Also, what makes a good growl is really hard to pin down, it varies a lot from band to band and listener to listener. It's one of those things that's hard to define, but you know it when you hear a good one (assuming you're into that sort of thing, of course).

 Some of my favourite growlers:

Death metal (and by extention, it's brothers thrash and black metal, not to mention its distant counsins crust punk, grindcore, and hardcore) = JUNK

 

and  why didnt you answer my question?  what techniques are involved in death metal that make it a challenge to play for a good guitar player? I am laughing at you cause you  are spewing bullshit because you got offended when someone  trashed your taste in music.

 

well guess what..just cause i think its junk or call it junk does not make it junk. thats just my opinion.   Now I will tell you something that is NOT opinion  but is fact.  metal guitar is not  difficult and not challenging at all for an accomplished  or skillfull guitar player.

 

if metal fans want to get offended by that then so be it  but  the truth hurts I guess.   but again if you want to  try and educate me...what techniques are involved that make it hard to play?  id ,love to know...cause   guess what...there is NOT ANY  ....NONE!

suck it up and move on. its noise and it sucks to me.  no heart at all  and nothing but wankers hiding behind distortion wanking power chords and running through scales with slides, hammer ons and pull offs. nothing special, nothing hard, nothing difficult.

 If its not your style of music why make so much fuss over it ?. Yes there is some bollocks death metal but every style of music has its good and bad points. Some of the best guitarists around today have some form of heavy metal/rock background. Dave Mustaine , Steve Vai,  Zakk Wylde, Yngwiee Malmsteen to name a very very short few!.

As a musican I respect all music. Even those styles I can not stand  listening to.  With the exception of death metal.  That is pure garbage that takes no skill what so ever to play.  Always makes me laugh when I start discussing music with some   kid  who thinks death metal  i so  difficult to play

 

Death metal sucks...its easy..punk is decent to listen to  but it is always childs play...most rock n roll in general is  fairly easy to play. that is why when you go to a bar  most bands play the same tired easy songs  . stuff like ac/dc  stone temple pilots, nirvana..etc..etc  and why you never find bands that play styx,yes,ELO,genesis,REO,RUSH,etc,,etc. I am not a big fan of those guys either but their music is complex and not easy by any stretch of the imagination to play.

 Does it not take some form of skill to play a guitar nevermind playing at speed?. Speed metal guitarists like Dave Mustaine could teach most pop/ rock bands how to play a guitar at any pace. You also dont have to be a kid to listen to death metal, im 36 and enjoy a good old Napalm Death or a Brutal Truth cd some days. I would also say that bands of yours such as Motley Crue and Whitesnake dont have the most challenging guitar riffs either.

Harmy's THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK Despecialized Edition HD - V2.0 - MKV & AVCHD (Released)
Time

Harmy said:

I just encoded a workprint of Empire. It is a 3GB mkv and it is a finished cut (short of one shot which I forgot to replace before encoding) with the whole film colour corrected and it has the colour boosted GOUT as PiP in the upper left corner for reference. I'd like the testers to check the following:

A) Any shots I may have overlooked for despecialization (I'm looking at you 005 ;-) ).

B) Sync with the GOUT.

C) Colours (both in relation to the GOUT and in terms of colour consistency between shots).

 

So if you'd like to help me out and be a tester, please say so here (please don't PM me, my mailbox keeps getting full :-)  )

I already noticed some stuff and fixed it, namely: The Wampa cave scene being too purple and having forgotten to remove the last window in the Cloud City, so if you notice something else, please let me know. I'm now uploading it, so I should be able to send links in the evening.

 This sounds amazing.
