XtrChessReal - Thanks. We are actually in negotiations with a couple of management companies.

Jazzy, I'm wore out, but I know my parents appreciate everything I do, and they don't take advantage of my kindness. They are usually very self sufficient people, so this is odd for both of them. I know my pop would do it for me or a member of my family in a heartbeat. He'll be back to driving as soon as he feels he can, but he promised us he wouldn't do it before he's physically ready, which will be at least a few days yet. It's all good. They take care of me, I take care of them. He was almost brought to tears a few time while he was thanking me for my help. As for Reinventing the Steel, I don't have that one yet. I was driving home from my mom's yesterday and I couldn't find anything on the radio. I switched to the cd player. Korn was on. Nah, no good. Next cd in the player was Godsmack. Still not doing it for me. Next cd - Pantera - The Best of Pantera - Far Beyind The Great Southern Cowboy's Vulgar Hits! Shit man yeah, that was just what I needed! It's so refreshing every time I play that disc. It energizes me like nothing else - err, well maybe Joe's music, but Pantera does it in a different way. It's much more aggressive. I think Joe's music takes care of the inside. Pantera takes care of the outside. Knowhatimean?

njbeast- sorry to hear about your gran, i lost mine a year ago, and my grandad in sept (day after i got married). It's hard but at least you know your gran is not in pain and is at peace.

Mötley Crüe ready for tour to start

After weeks of rehearsal, Mötley Crüe kicks off its Red, White & Crüe tour tonight in San Juan, Puerto Rico. The tour - which reunites the group's original lineup for the first time since 1997 - has been one of the year's hottest sellers so far, which frontman Vince Neil said has been a surprise to the band: "When the tickets went on sale and we sold out so fast, we were all shocked. You know, we couldn't believe it that fans in other cities were petitioning to get us to go to their cities, and we had to add, like, another 40 shows. So it's very amazing."

Neil promised that the Crue's new stageshow would be a "circus," and Tommy Lee said the traditional drum kit stunt during his solo spot would be fittingly outrageous: "I guess I can honestly say this is hands down one of the most dangerous ones. I was telling somebody about it the other night, and they're like, 'Dude, are you out of your mind? You could die!' And I was like, well, yeah, that's kind of the whole, you know, that's what makes it exciting."

The Crüe plays its first mainland U.S. date on Thursday in Sunrise, Florida. Dates are booked into May, and the group expects to be on the road well into 2006.

all y'all - I've been goofing around with CISCO VoIP and SIP and stuff...
it's been fun... no lie... lol

1 - try figuring out the melodic parts first and then developing the chord progressions... you'll find that there are lots of possiblities, some possiblities don't have to come from the same key... different progressions will give the same melody very different dynamic posibilities..

2 - try figuring out a nice progression and then build a melody inspired from there... don't only use the scales obvious to the given key... each chord came belong to a number of keys.. this will provide some unusual undiatonic options and twists to your melody.... so not only thinking within the box.. think outside too..

3 - try developing a setion of music based around a sound... like a guitar doing something unusual with a phaser or delay.. this can trigger lots of intreesting ideas...

4 - try coming up with a small motif and find out just how many different ways you can re-spin it... as a lick, a melody, a theme, a riff, the basis for a chord progression, a bass line, an inner voice within the chord progression, a counter - point etc...

what I'm trying to get at is.... there's mre than one way to skin a cat....
so skin it many ways...

I remember seeing a tuition vid of hers.... setting a metro and thinking of it ticking on 2 and 4 like a snare drum.. to make it 'swing'....

nice tits too..

so bro... what is your day job??

personally... I hope that it is not my finest.. but that there is better to come..

Slansh - I had a copy of the Berlin version of the Cm prelude on cassette... which obviously died years ago....
do you know what Berlin album that track comes from.. I think it's about time that I got it on CD...

and more than anything... I really loved the keyboard solo...

somewhere, deep deep in my archives is a transcription I did of the whole thing... bass and keyboard parts including the solos....
I then programed it into Cubase on my Atari [including the bass and keys solos] 'cos the tape was dying and I somehow needed to keep a record of it..
I used to love playing along to it....
the sense of satisfaction making it to the end without goofing up was amazing
I used to play the keys part, then the bass solo, then the keys solo, then the rest of the keys parts.....

very very tough... but amazing..

yes I've heard them and enjoyed them greatly...

so I can't really say if this was his compositional peak...
I mean fuck how would you determine that??

I think my favourite Bach works are:
the Harpsichord concerto's [all 6 of them.. and on harpsichord not piano - which is how you hear most recordings.. and piano is just not the same]
'm particularly fond of concerto's 1 and 6
Toccata und Fuga Dm BWV565 - simply awesome..
Toccata, Adagio nud Fuga in C BWV 566 [I think] - the Adagio sections is without doubt in my view one of the sadest pices of music writen ever but anyone... it makes my hair stand on end and my eyes water..
Cm Prelude from The Well Tmpered Clavier Book 1 [I think] which is the one me and Slansh have been talking about...
Toccata, Passacaglia und Fuga in Gm - again... unbelievably sad.... [brThe ]Lute suites - all of them... awesome...
oh yeah.. and the Itallian Concerto in F... [I think that's what it's called... my brain is a bit messed up right now...

Bach is da man.... the first jazzer... and one of the first shredders...

Jazzzzzzzzzy

"i met this wonderful girl tonight, we both share the same political views...and she's a blonde!"

This is too funny.

"A national ID card will have the same effect as gun control laws: criminals will ignore it, while law abiding people lose freedom"

While I have nothing to hide from our federal government, and would "apply for that card", you bring up a interesting point here. Criminals will ignore it and the politicaly correct county judicial system will not be able to enforce compliance.

Why they have to make the Grammys such a commercial show???? Tribute to Ray Charles...give me a break...!!

Now it just about who throws more money at videos and more TV time....
