Shred III is no more, so I have jumped once more into the breach with an exciting new thread with a thrilling new name because I'm bored.
I am currently listening to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LzN2gUGYUGc&fmt=18 - Ravi Shankar .
Family Guy is just as abysmal now as it was in the previous thread.

It appears to no longer be with us, and it had almost 10,000 replies, so I can see why. I decided Live Free or Shred Hard was too confusing, so I've shortened it. I feel that inserting Hard in there is esssential to show how tough and manly we are, but feel free to disagree, terrorist.

It was really long, I didn't realize how long it would take when I started. Whoops, it's 4:40am again... Harry, Vivaldi rules, don't you implicitly talk about him that way by saying Baroque sucks. And I did end up buying the Vivaldi CD twice accidentally, and now I can't cancel it because it's already shipped. :(
You should be sorry. |

Vivaldi played some mean violin and I dig some of his work, so I was kinda exaggerating when I said all of Baroque sucks. It's just not up to the quality of Romantic or some of the 20th century shiz. Four Seasons is a good occasional listen. After a while, there is something almost grating about the use of pedal point lines being used so much though. It could be because Yngwie Malmsteen and every single neo-classical guitar virtuoso ever since has over-used the pedal point thing though, I dunno. -------------

I'll compromise. Family Guy is funnier and I prefer the purile and below-the-belt humour. The Simpsons episodes flow and work as a story better. Mike is right. Series 1-7 are excellent. -------------

I can't imagine that it's going to get many more listens from me... and I can see a scathing review on the horizon. Oddly, on the metal side, Iron Maiden's Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son arrived today, and that was a fantastic listen. About Scenes... I liked the Indo-metal/whatever you'd call that track... Home, maybe? Also, Awake has changed my estimation of James Labrie a bit. Some amazing vocals on there |
