Tarheels.

I'm going to be on in like half an hour or so.

I fully expect to be invited to awesome games.

When I got hit by a car for the first time and my head bounced off of another car, resulting in a large blood stain on said car, I flipped out.

Absolutely amazing graphics.

Holy shit, we had the best string of games ever.

Marthons for the win!

We need to get an EWB game going tonight. If we do somebody add me:

GT is Grant514

Bastard

When is everyone going to be on.

I'm probably getting on at around 3 P.M. EST tomorrow.

My moms getting it tomorrow morning for me and once I get out of school I'm all on it.

I fully expect loads of multiplayer games tomorrow.

All of my friends love the band and keep telling me to listen to them, but they really don't "do" anything for me.

I hate their lyrics with a passion, thats probably my biggest fault with the band. But what I tend to hate about the band is what other people love about the band. So oh well, I guess it depends on your taste.

37.

In a row.

360: Grant514

I don't think it's for no apparent reason, but Human Abstract remind me of a good Avenged Sevenfold.

No no, we all need to get in the same game. Meet at a private place, form a circle and have a fight club.

They weren't supposed to know about it.

Way to break rules 1 and 2.

I'm so fucking excited for this game. Free Mode got me even more pumped.

And last question regarding Gamestop, does anyone know if you've already put down money on a game can you trade in a game and put that money towards the same amount you've already got put down on the game?

Kind of like AJ, but I don't want to turn this into a recommendation topic but how much could I get for trading in Assassins Creed?

People like Slash and other bands guitarists aren't really going for a technical style, they're just trying to give you something that what they're band/song is all about, no BS hard rock with a blues influence.

Were as with Stevie Ray, that is more country based and the style extra style and technique thats encorporated is probably fed from what he grew up listening to, a country, real blues style, with less of a hard rock feel.

I mean, you can't really compare guitarists of different styles to one another, they're probably not limited to doing what they do by skill, more what they actually want to do. If you, for example listen to the solo in Texas Flood and then Sweet Child O' Mine, they both serve the same purpose in the different songs.

I think we could do with a "EWB Top 50/100 Guitarists" voting thread .

I think we do need a Top Guitarists thread, but we'd just need somebody to be dedicated to doing it.

The point is, Slash is hardly "the greatest guitarist" but usually the best guitarist arguments are always completely based solely off of opinion because somebody could think that Pete Wentz is the best bassist in the world and is miles better than Les Claypool but millions upon millions of others will argue. While that is a very different argument this is always generally how it will go.

Therefore let bygones be bygones and let everyone like whichever guitarist they like. Mainly because I don't feel like getting into another debate about Slash.

...how else do you want him to get fame?

He's not a solo guitarist. He works as a member of a band; that band made it big. What the fuck more do you want from him? And if you wanna talk about overrated guitarists; Stevie Ray Vaughan is shite.

I'd hardly say Vaughn is an over rated guitarist. The man has miles more technical guitar aspects than Slash has incorporated into the majority of his work. If it comes down to "catchy riffs" then yes, Slash has the upper hand. But when it comes down to sheer guitar skills, Vaughn has the upper hand.

And I'm not getting at him making it big because he was in a band. I'm getting at it not being like a "wow this guy is a great guitarist" rather than "Oh, that's a catchy riff. And ooh, listen to those vocals".

When people listen to Vaughn, Mayer, Hendrix, Clapton, etc. people hear lots of exceptional guitar playing. So it's hardly that he couldn't have made it big on guitar skills alone, look at Clapton. He could have been solely just the guitarist for Cream, and even if he hadn't had a solo thing people still would have cared about him as a guitarist.

Yeah but even in terms of blues players there are a lot better players than he is. Stevie Ray Vaughn, John Mayer, etc. He's in my opinion a slightly above-average guitarist who has gotten the fame he has because he was in that 80's rock band that hit it big.

I personally thought this was one of the best episodes of the season so far.

I loved the "unplug it and plug it back it" thing.

Plus, I loved Randy throughout the entire episode. I'm so glad they started to use him more in the last few seasons. He's a great character.

I'm not even downloading it if it leaks because it comes out the day before my birthday, which seems like a great birthday present for myself

I haven't been to too many big shows, but here they are.

The Eagles

Green Day

Jimmy Eat World

Fall Out Boy

All-American Rejects

Hawthorne Heights

From First To Last

Joshua Radin

Schuyler Fisk

Bright Eyes

The Felice Brothers

Nik Freias

Fuel

Chevelle

Scapegoat

Mikey Biscuit

Sugar Glider

Then a bunch of smaller local bands like Alesana, Kiss For Jersey, Sky Eats Airplane, Widow, Kill Mercy, etc.

I remember when I first saw the Lord of the Rings I flipped out because I recognized Sean Astin from the Goonies. Then I realized he was in Rudy too and forgot that I went through the same thing when I saw that movie.

Sigur Ros.

Even without understanding the words it's some of the most beautiful music I've ever heard. It can also have a very epic feel to it.

I'd see Dan's for Rage, Coheed, Billy Talent, Foo Fighters, and Get Cape but nothing else would do much for me.

Arctic Monkey's... opening for Muse... opening for Sigur Ros...

And I thought I was off when I wondered if specific bands were big >_<

Sigur Ros probably wouldn't be in the top bill, but the possibility of them going on right before Radiohead is something to jizz in my pants over. But I'd definitely have Arctic Monkeys opening for Muse.

From what I've experienced in America, Muse gets more play than the Arctic Monkeys.

So it would be more of Sigur < Arctic Monkeys < Muse, but oh well.
