music4me5150......what is your opinion of the 535 Q ? Is it worth the few extra bucks it costs? Do the sweep settings really vary quite a bit or are they so close you can barely tell one from another? I'll be shopping for a new wah very shortly...I bought a Vox wah a few years back and it's starting to make unwanted noises (input jack is scratchy)...plus it sucks a 9 volt dry in a matter of days and does'nt have any other power source options.

To everyone......"Tornado Alley" will be at the Crossroads Bar tonight....com'on out and check us out !! That is of course..if you happen to be in northern Minnesota tonight ;)

VFRrocker its hard work but .. its worth it.. kevin is my fave!!!lol

heylo whats going on in T2J today.

Does anyone else feel that the song "Octavarium" seems like it's only 5 minutes long? I actually had to look at the clock afterwards to assure myself that 24 minutes had indeed passed. I don't know why.

I learned some cool things about Octavarium (the album):
1. The first song is in the key of F, the second is in G, the third in A, etc. Overall, the songs go in an octave, F to F. Get it? Octave/Octavarium?

2. All over the booklet, 5:8 is hidden. For instance, the domino blocks on the "Answer Lies Within" page are 5 and 8. The 8-legged spider is in an 8-sided octagon maze with 5 levels. The octopus has 8 legs and there are 5 fish swimming by the octagonal stop sign. In the octavarium, the star has 5 points and the octagon has 8 sides, and near the bottom it says "Scale 5:8" This is because the are 5 black keys and 8 white keys in an octave on a piano (I hope you understand the point). On the back, each song name is written on a different piano key, again representing an octave. Finally, there are 8 swinging balls and 5 birds, one between each one, which again represents the octave on the piano.

3. At the beginning of I Walk Beside You and Never Enough there is 45 seconds of so-called "Lounge Music" On IWBY there is a heatbeat, keyboard, and a ticking clock. On Never Enough, it is some synth playing. You can only hear these hidden intros if you listen to the song before that and let them run together. If you go to the song using the "Next" or "Previous" buttons on your CD player you won't be able to hear these intros.

(Not so special) 4. The Root of All Evil is the third part of the series of songs dealing with the 12 steps for recovering alcoholics. The Glass Prison dealt with steps 1-3, This Dying Soul covered 4 and 5, and TROAE talks about 6 and 7. If you listen you can hear many many references in these songs to each other, lyrically and musically.

Slansh Now I never said anything about evil - lol I know exactly what you are saying though.......... the percentage gradually lowers as we get older, once upon a time I didn't like that side of myself, now I'm secretly proud of it -lol. Long Live the 0.1% !!! It can be quite an asset when we need it. Quite a lot of work on that guitar then bro'.......... great job with the hack saw, love the shape. Who are you thinking of getting to build your custom?

Cube Ha ha ha........ roflmfao (screaming I knew it! I knew it!) ;-)
