I'd love to see a biopic of Stevie Ray Vaughan like what was just made for Hendrix.  At one point there was going to be such a thing, with Brad Pitt playing SRV I believe, but for some reason or another it didn't happen.  His life story is fascinating.  At least I found it to be so.  He seemed to have a really great personality (judging from interviews from both people that knew him and random fans who came into contact with him).  One of my Uncles was a DJ at a radio station and got to have his picture taken with him.  Said he was the nicest man you could hope to meet.

Somebody's been eating their apples.

aHA.  You aren't my grandma.  My grandma would know that I don't like desserts of any kind!!! If you were her, you would have offered me fried chicken.

Just get to know some of them, you may find out that not all of them are as devout as they want the general congregation to believe.  (I don't mean to imply using them or anything, you just may find someone who is of a similar mindset) You may get even luckier and find a girl whose frustrated with Catholicism as well.

What if somebody else says they also love Top Chef?  Would you spurn them as well?

Also I specifically said SNES9X's framerate issues are NOT lag.  

[Dooku]Master Danfun, you disappoint me. [/Dooku]

My grandma said the same exact thing one time... I guess parallel universes do exist and in one of them you are my grandmother.

I just found a great new emulator: BSNES.  It emulates the pants off of SNES9X.  Maybe it isn't this wasy for everyone, but SNES9X for me always had framerate issues.  Not in the way that the game itself was actually lagging, just that the motion was choppy.  Most noticeable in sidescrollers; it seemed the screen did not scroll smoothly.  Also the sound timing was off, it always seemed like the music had trouble staying at the right tempo for me.  BSNES does both of these things perfectly.  Also it even emulates several other systems, NES included and some others, but I haven't tested those to see if they are as good.

I agree that his other posts have been annoying, but to be fair, other than his horrendous language he hasn't really asked for anything unreasonable in this thread.

You're still spreeding words. I don't know what that means, but frankly it sounds awful.

If anybody hasn't heard, Harrison Ford was in a plane crash.  But he's (relatively) okay.

Incidentally, this isn't his first plane crash.  Also he was piloting I think.

So glad Harrison DIDN'T just die.

Don't be daft.

I'll put it in my report

 Refreshing to see another black metaller here.

Behexen-Celebration of Christ's Fall

I share your sentiments about Insomnium, if they would just drop the growling and use clean singing all the time (like they have proven they are capable of with in a few songs which are sung by I believe the same vocalist who does the growling so that means they wouldn't even need a line up change) I think they could really make the big time.

I actually don't like growling in the music, I just love the instrumental sections of the music so much I deal with it.  I'm considering learning to sing and dubbing over my instrumental covers of theirs (I've got some Insomnium ones recorded too btw Ric, I just have to upload them) with normal singing, maybe showing what "could have been".

I guess I can understand that, after all that is part of what made the Led Zeppelin albums so magical.

The fuck

Because my music tastes are so broad, I have developed an odd style that doesn't belong to a single genre, and I think it would be a crime to waste that in a cover band.

 The same could be said about me.  I primarily play metal, but with the attitude and fury of Stevie Ray Vaughan (he may have been blues, but he plays with more fury than metal.  Metal's fury comes from primarily the thick instrumentation and the momentum of the songwriting, but I would say alot of metal bands actually play their instruments pretty tamely.  Fast, but soft.  I play metal riffs like SRV played blues riffs... played hard and floored. )  Also I solo quite alot like Stevie Ray Vaughan mixed with some more melodic classical shredding and occasionally the random-ish outbursts of furious notes of Slayer's Kerry King, all infused in to one.  Suffice it to say I'm all over the place.  I can actually carry a song too, which is a trait most local guitarists here seem to lack.  Most of them only learn "tricks" or gimmicks, but when they play riffs or songs they just sound horrible.

Uuuh high and mighty, are we? And I was led to believe I was being the only one around here.

 You're damn right I'm high and mighty about my guitar playing, I've worked hard on it and I'm good at it. 

 Having listened to you play, I must agree: you are extremely talented...! 

 Thank you!  Although truthfully I did kind of go overboard on that post... I wasn't really trying to come off that way but I was a little sauced and I kind of lost track of how much I'd said already and before long a few sentences became a long run-on paragraph without my full consent.  :P

 You are more than welcome...you have made a fan out of one who might not ordinarily enjoy non-lyrical guitar and drum mixes...I am looking forward to playing your covers when I return home to my 11.1 surround system in August. I am anticipating feeling the full impact of the music at full throttle...currently as good as the headphone version is I suspect it is not doing it justice...

 Oh well check with me first because literally *everything* that's on my soundcloud page has been re-recorded because I got a new digital guitar amp that is much more suited to recording on the computer the way I do, plus I was more meticulous with the mixing and it's still intense but not quite so grating and trebly!  I just have to upgrade my soundcloud account so that I can update my tracks without losing all the plays I have for them.

Yes.

Did Horatio meow back in response?  Horatio is my neighbor's cat's name, and he's an awesome cat.  He's totally Zen, makes no demands, does nothing unkind, just chills.  You may pet him if you wish, but he does not require it.  From now on he's the only Horatio that I believe exists.

Stevie played with so much heart it was ridiculous.

I sit corrected.

Yeah, I've been skeptical right from the start.
