[Beckerism]

That is The Legendary Guitar of Jason Becker part 2. I'll upload it and have it to you by tomorrow.

[PooKoo]

thank you so much

[mr_clapton]

yeah did you guys know that als is the same disease the stephen hawking has

[public property]

Anyway, that last video fo the documentary I thought was just a hired guitarist, not jason.

[PooKoo]

which one?

[public property]

The orchestra playing End of the beginning. Since by the time he had written it Jason was incapable of doing air guitar

[Resiliance]

Most likely Michael Lee Firkins.

[Beckerism]

Most likely Michael Lee Firkins.

Correcto.

[PooKoo]

ohhhh, still cool.

Is michael lee firkins playing it or just pretending?

[Beckerism]

He plays it. :)

[PooKoo]

ok, in that case it is very coool. Does he play on the song as well? Sorry, i'm pretty stupid about this.

[public property]

I believe he does yes.

[PooKoo]

ok cool, sounds remarkably like becker.

[public property]

I don't agree with that at all, the actually notes are obviously becker style, but I noticed straight away that is dosen't sound anything like him, two reasons, 1.The clean tone dosen't sound as wet and rainy - like beckers and 2. the sweeps are far too clean and his tone is too crisp.

[PooKoo]

yeah, i noticed about the clean tone, but the vibrato, the whammyish stuff or whatever, sounds a lot like beckers style too me. I noticed it was exceptionally clean usually too. But i didnt really pay much mind to it.

[Beckerism]

I know I seem like a crazed Becker fan (which I am :p: ) but I have many clips in which his sweeps are very clean. But yah, the tone is what somewhat gives it away, although if I had been told it was played by Becker, I would probably not doubt it.

Anyways, PooKoo, did you like the Raspberry Jams? I'm uploading TLGOJB 2 right now.

[Axegrinder#9]

**** this, Steve Vai was nominated for a Grammy in the instrumental rock category, for "Lotus Feet" and he didn't win. wtf?! that's one of the most gorgeous and beautiful songs I've heard... ever...

[pavan]

I thought I was the only fool who wasted 10 precious minutes of my life watching the stupid ****ing grammies. U2 with Mary J Blige -- Bono and that woman both singing off key.

[mr_clapton]

its on tonight in australia should i bother watching it all or not i am only really watching it for vai...

[pavan]

not worth it. its not like he's performing anything

[PooKoo]

they were great, though more for being interesting then being really good. I love his version of when you wish upon a star though

Reminds of what i try to do, just write and jam with a guitar, only much better.

[wil]

Does anyone know where i can find a POwer tab or GP tab of Vai's Feathers? I cant find one anywhere and i can play a lot of it by ear, but id love to have the score. This should probably be in tab talk but what the hell...

[Beckerism]

I don't have that tab, but is Feathers the song that Vai put on the JB tribute album?

[wil]

I dont know, its the first song off disc 2 of the Infinite Vai anthology and i think its amazing---if my crappy uni server lets me send it ill try and use yousendit if you wanna hear it.

Hey PooKoo I'll get back to you w/ the super story, it's got to hold off again. :) I'm having PC problems again. :(

[PooKoo]

haha its all good man.

[Master Of Shred]

haha there's this big youth site for our city on the net, it has it's own forum as well,

anyways, there was a thread there about kurt cobain, and I said that he is pefetic, they're all like 'yay bot hes more talended than you will ever be'

stupid grunge mofos.

owning them at the moment

lol

dunno waht this has to do with shred but whatever :haha

[Master Of Shred]

[PooKoo]

haha nice mos.

[apocalypse13]

:confused: <----To Resi's thing



I'm gonna steal a Freepower line and say, "Omgfsplosion," because I can't get enough of this thing I'm I'm writing on Power Tab. It's uber melodic, and I look at it and say, "WTF? Did I write that??!!?" :D

[Beckerism]

Upload it. I want to hear. :)

[soccermom]

i find this funny for several days now i have been thinking this thread was the "random shred cat thread". I thought you guys meant as in cool cats e.g brian stezer. I needed to get that off my system.

[apocalypse13]

It's the best I've ever written imo. Though, usually when I write something new, it's usually better than what I did before just because of experience. But this one's exceptionally better.


Edit: lmao Apparently my dad has set me up to give lessons to one of his customer's daughter's (He works for Orkin Pest Control.) PooKoo you gonna be there with that lemonade stand? :p:

AhemGreenTea-alternativealsoAhem!;)

That melody is really good! Well done dude. However(I'm sure you know) some note choices in the lead sound really out of place and don't suit the flow of the piece....

[Beckerism]

Apoc, upload some more of your stuff. :)

[Resiliance]

Well, to be perfectly honest...

That backing sounded bog off the mill standard arpeggio's at a fast rate, alternate that backing man, it gets real boring, real fast. If you do arpeggios, you can do them with extensions on alternate positions on the neck etc too... But seriously man, open positions all the time? :(

It didn't really latch on to the next bit either, it felt like random parts smudgeoned together, also chords not in the same key, and really out of key notes like paddyo mentioned.

This reminds me of when I was new at composing in guitar pro ;)

I don't know how long you've been at it, and who cares really, but...

Keep practicing ;)




Sorry if I somewhat burst your bubble :(

[PooKoo]

got yer backkk man

and i like the arpeggio part, and a lot of the melody, but i think it changes around in keys way too much for my liking, if anything maybe flow it together more, but its coming along good.

[mr_clapton]

here is my first guitar pro composition, i did ages back and well...you be the judge

http://s5.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=0V21M9HUO5TWU09MDYCKZCGBQS

[Resiliance]

Thought I'd chip in and upload the first thing I ever (co-)wrote on GTP.

Back in the day I co-wrote this neoclassical thingy with evac|db, who sometimes visits and posts in this forum.

http://users.pandora.be/para_/intsympt1.gp4
http://users.pandora.be/para_/Interlude2.0.gp4
http://users.pandora.be/para_/intsympt3.gp4

Internal Symbiosis was it's name :p: We were going to record it but something always came between.

Ahh... Sweet sweet memories.

[apocalypse13]

Well, I can't stay around to listen now. I'm going running. Anyhoo, it's about the 6th, maybe 7th piece I've taken seriously.

And Resi, you said something about open positions?? Explain, I'm pretty new to the songwriting scene. Anything to help a songwriting noob will be accepted.

:cheers:

[Resiliance]

Well, what I mean by the open position remark is pretty simple, open chord arpeggios.

You can give it a different sound with extensions on the neck or just arpeggios, but not always open string. Just... Please.

Make it a habit to vary your backings just with as much care as you'd handle your lead.

Lesson #1 in songwriting: the backing is more important than whatever's on top.

not bad resi, pwnzzz my ass sideways really, but if ya dont mind me saying so, it does sound a little cliche, a bit like every other neoclassicalish peice, especially the chorus part that kicks in early, but then again i only downloaded one so far, as im about to go to some thrift stores and such.

btw, ill post some stuff ive been messing around with if youd like, but i am horrible with gp, i actually wrote it originally on guitar and piano, and yesss, the backing is not varied at all, on piano i would arpeggiate and do fills to make it interesting, and i frankly havent the patience for that on guitar pro.

[paddyo]

not bad resi, pwnzzz my ass sideways really.

Lesson #1 in songwriting: the backing is more important than whatever's on top.Thanks, Resi. I think I get it. I copied and pasted the backing :p: ...And always do... I could try to change it.

You mean kind of like the way Steve Harris does in Maiden. Like the intro to The Trooper, where the guitar doesn't change, but the bass does, and sounds different.

Thank you!




Edit: Damn I suck at it. It sounded way better before I screwed with it. I'll keep it in mind for future reference though. Maybe I'll look into some more theory, any suggestions for good lessons/videos?

[PooKoo]

quick question, do any free sites have more space for songs then dmusic? Ive used up all my space on it, and id rather ask you all cause i hate people in other forums. thanks either way.

[paddyo]

In the spirit of uploading your compositions,here's 4 songs. Even though combined they probably wouldn't even make one short song and they are ridiculously short but thats not why I'm uploading them. Just want crit on them for my composition skills, see how good/bad/absolutely laughable they are :) . Thanks.

[pavan]

there is spirit of uploading but no spirit of downloading !

[Beckerism]

Not true foo! I just dled it, refreshed page, and it said zero dls. I think something is wrong. I'm listening right now.

[PooKoo]

Paddyo ill dl yours soon.

Heres a little thing i did with piano and guitar out of boredom.



http://ultimate-guitar.com/forum/showthread.php?t=317887
It was a rushed recording but eh, and it wont let me upload gp files.

Edit, liked the "song" one dude, but the sweeping one didnt do it as much for me, ill listen to others in a while.

[apocalypse13]

Why didn't you just say, "Link in sig?" :p:

It's good, but like they said, turn the guitar up a bit.

[PooKoo]

haha cause im a stupid ****er, k?

Yeah, ill remix it or whatever, itll take like 2 seconds.

[PooKoo]

yo does anyone else love war of the angels as much as i do? Its like my new favorite song, this and this one vinnie moore song.

[priest.fan.]

I like pretty much all the songs on the cooley cd a lot. war of the angels is excellent, but my favourite right now would probably be dark matter.

[PooKoo]

yeahhh, thats a good one, i really like jazzmines song too.

[priest.fan.]

yeah, all the other ones sound kind of on the darker side, jazzmines song is kind of refreshing because its so upbeat, I really like the intro chord proggression too. I'll probably figure it out sooner or later. The only track on the album thats kind of iffy to me is hillbilly militia, its got a really weird rythym to it. But its till cool.

[PooKoo]

yeahh, that one kind of stuck out with me when i first heard it, so its pretty cool. Whole cds pretty damn good.

[priest.fan.]

I know, I've been getting much of my shred library off the uploads thread lol. I feel like such a hoodlum, but theres no way I could find a cooley or cacophony or becker CD in any of my local music shops.

Great film... I think we pulled it off quite magnificently, don't you? :D

[priest.fan.]

I've decided I'm going to really apply myself to learning how to sweep, because I really realluy really want to eventually learn how to play serrana.

...

that is all, I guess.

[apocalypse13]

lol

That's why it's the "Random" Shred chat thread. :p:

[priest.fan.]

lol

That's why it's the "Random" Shred chat thread. :p:

Oh come on, its completely relevant to whatever was going on before my little outburst

but SERIOUSLY

I vow that I'm going to learn serrana. eventually. I'm like addicted to it now :( I've been listening to it nonstop for about 2 hours

[apocalypse13]

I want to learn Under the Influence before my life is over.





Good Luck to me....

[priest.fan.]

I want to learn Under the Influence before my life is over.





Good Luck to me....

give it a few years.


of 24 hour-a-day practice.

and I'm sure you'll get there. lol. At least I set my goals semi in reach. But then again, if you keep trying at it you'll probably get it eventually - you sort of have your entire lifetime for it.

[apocalypse13]

Well, seeing as there's no tabs for it...

I'm pretty much fuktified. I'd have to tab it by ear, plus have the ability to play it.

I could learn Dark Matter without ear playing though!!

[priest.fan.]

there are a few tabs of portions of it. But its only like 30 seconds of the song.

But I like dark matter =D even more than under the influence

[apocalypse13]

I love that main theme to Under the Influence A LOT. I believe it's string skipping, at about 1 minute in. <33333333333333333333333333333333333333333

But on the Whole Dark Matter is a better song.

[priest.fan.]

I think I'm in love with Rusty Cooley.

[sixteen times]

I've recently "hit a wall" in my playing. My picked runs and legato aren't flowing like I really want them to.

Is the cure just to once again slow things down and then gradually build it up?

[Freepower]

^ its always the cure.

(well, actually, its finding out what's wrong, and then working on it, but thats best done slowly)

I've hit a brilliant point in my playing. But i've developed wrist problems and have to rest. DAMN THIS CRUEL WORLD!

[sixteen times]

*Begins the slow, painful process of picking ascending 4th runs at STUPIDLY low speeds*

[TheI7ark]

On a happier note: Joe Satriani has a new signature Dimarzio pup :o How did I miss this?

Throw in an harmonic minor ascending run in 4ths and then a huge bend up to the octave, then end on an E5. :p:

[PooKoo]

hahahahahha thank you

Im not a sell out! i never used the pentaonic!
welll, one tap lick, but it was cool.

haha alright now everyone carry on abuot your normal lives, my 15 minutes have slipped away, though today i had abuot a million people tell me how amazing i was,

showing off is fun.

Im uber-busy, more busy than even resi would believe if i told him, but due to a removal of guitar practice and a general ignoring of schoolwork, i should be posting almost regularly. And theres no keeping me from the net. I need to keep my emails safe, they contain about 250 emails from the very start of me and aoife's relationship.

I mean, i care because i've been talking to big names in shred about Lane and dont want to lose their emails.


Yup, whipped i am.

Hey Fp any chance of you sparing ten of your sacred minutes(:p: ) to post up some of your chops? I'm sure I speak for most as its been aaaaaaages since I've heard you play.

^ lol, i'll keep it that way for a while. Im not as clean as i would like. My chops are "coming together", but they havent stuck - one day i'll be pwning, the next its like im a first timer again. Give me 6 months, i might do some chops playing. Till then, theres two short new things up on my dmusic.

"Odd fun little thing" - completely not serious but nice piece, played with worse tone than usual and twice as fast as i wrote it.

"Stuff from my loop station" - i've always thought i was more interesting and a better player when i wasnt around computers, and now i have a loop station to prove it.

Some awful cringe moments, but hey, thats what happens when you get carried away. ;)

[mr_clapton]

if anyone wants to talk on msn about guitar which i would like to do add me oogly_man@hotmail.com.....dont aske about the name its quite old

[Boghead]

cool thing:how to get a wah sound without a wah(only on strats)
1.)turn down both the tone knobs(for the neck and mid pickups) to 0
2.)do trills while moving the pickup selector slowly backwards and forwards.

:)

[Resiliance]

And yay!

Paul Gilbert got married recently, after his previous divorce :)

[Freepower]

^ Awww. Bloody hell. Him, Allan, Lane, are the greats all unlucky with first marriages?

[The UG Squirrel]

Speaking of Allan...

Secrets just arrived, that album is the awesomeness. Probably coulda done without the vocals though.

[apocalypse13]

Roxors!

I'm making progress on my de Santiago tab!!! woot!!

Up to the distorted part so far. :D

[Freepower]

^ that reminds me. I should get brutal on the ol' ear training. Shouldnt really physically be playing atm, so i might as well work on that.

[apocalypse13]

It's my first one. I'm really surprised that my ears are capable of doing it at least semi accurate. It's not a difficult song though.

How the HELL can you be so BLOODY IGNORANT.

:wtf:

[paddyo]

^:grrr: It's people like those elitist wankers who "genrify" every player and if they go outside the boudaries its automatically considered shit. They'll never learn though and at the end of the day its their overall loss so let the dickheads be dickheads I guess...

[apocalypse13]

:(

Sad....



Meh, here's how far I am on my tab. I've gotten over halfway through it, and nearly to the wah melody. Timing sure as hell isn't perfect, and it's missing a backing guitar. But, it's plenty good enough for me.

[Freepower]

Blues people make me laugh, just like every other kind of people. Once you genre-fy yourself you merely miss out on a huge amount of great music. Sure, thats not blues as we know it. Great. That makes a change from the blues i know. Hell, if its not even remotely blues, its certainly "bluesy stuff". Any why is it always Yngwie gets this ****?

[Resiliance]

^Quite simply, because he is the man.

[paddyo]

^Egggggzakly:)

[apocalypse13]

:golfclap:

[Freepower]

Yngwie is a hero among the muso clique in my school. That 3 madmen who would die for the sweeping swede of speed.

[paddyo]

^Oooooooooohhh alliteration! Not just good looks and amazing guitar skills:p:

[Freepower]

^ Thats me alright!

*puffs out chest*

Oh, wait, you meant Yngwie...


Ah well, i'll never win a man constest with yng. He wins this round, but next time, the advantage will be mine!

Shucks...

*accepts compliment like man, with many grunts of approval*


Sadly, i cannot play for fear of crippling wrist pain, and can't use good looks due to lack of gf, or even that hot blonde girl from my physics class.

That leaves me with a ailsome attraction avec alliteration. :)

[SnowballofDoom]

and can't use good looks due to lack of gf

Uh oh, what happened there?

Erm...don't find it weird that a stranger from across the globe is interested in the details of your personal life...

*hides in shame*

[Freepower]

^ oh, dont worry, luckily, Aoife, the goddess, is still happily married to yours truly. However, she is currently away for 10 days on a self realisation type thing. She's been having some tough times recently, and this should really help. :)

I'll get some formal pics up, she's got a white pimp hat, and i have neat hair.
And the first ever picture of me avec another UGer!

[apocalypse13]

Another UGer?

She uses UG?

:eek:

[Freepower]

No, dont be silly, there ARE no hot girls on UG. Me and Ankou. Him metal as always, me doing some weird face. :)

[pavan]

i dont have a life

it is hard to explain, but basically it equals out that im a pimp.

I wouldn't mind getting married. You need teh cash! But as for now, I'm not interested.

Guitar and Video Games = Everything

I don't care about getting a girlfriend, IMO it'd just be bothersome. Always habving to go places and crap. I'd rather just jam all day. :o

[mr_clapton]

my guitar is my girlfriend....i even took it to the movies once

[bucky_2300]

I take it that this is you on the Ibanez site then?

The last two (and only) girls I've gone out with seemed to be rather demanding at times. "Will you come with me to the mall?"
"I've got band practice...and guitar!"
"Do you love me?"
"****."

That may not seem demanding...but it's my f***ing guitar! Guitar > Girls. That's a handy equation, because when I hit the time when I find that Guitar = That girl, I'll know I've found the right one. ;)

[apocalypse13]

Beautiful Bucky, beautiful. I'm changing my user title to that.

A girl has to understand if they're going out with you, you'll take a guitar clinic over a "nice" night any day. I would anyway.




:headbang:
Roxors! I, after much struggle and song slow-downing, have completed my tab for Corazon de Santiago! It's probably not entirely right, but it's my first tab so, it might be meh. Either way, it's good enough for me, and I'm proud of myself.

*Pats on back*

[PooKoo]

ill check the file out in a sec

Ive given up on steady gfs, though i have a chick now who i rather like a lot, but shes really cool with all my music ****, and she realizes im an unrealiable dick, which i love her all the more for. Plus shes the first chick ive really hung out with who isnt a complete *****, its a nice change.

Best relationship i ever had was with a bass player. That was rad.

ok listened to it, sounds pretty damn good so far, of course, the timings off and some notes sound... a little odd here and there, but im sure you and me both could easily figure it out for good, cause i know pt can be a bitch. Nice work dude.

[apocalypse13]

I know... The timing is off a bit in some places, but that's no big deal. I though most of the notes were pretty accurate. The final part was a b!tch to do though.

[PooKoo]

yeahh, the harmonys are a little wierd in parts, and pt makes the bends sound ****ty, but its pretty damn good dude.

[apocalypse13]

You can't mimmick Marty's bends in PT. It is physically impossible. It's been proven by science, you know.

[PooKoo]

yeahhhh i know

[apocalypse13]

Argh, found an error. In bar 51 it says 9 and 16, it's supposed to say 12 and 16. Oh well.

[Freepower]

Well, at least its the numbers that are wrong and not your ear.

Speaking of numbers, does anyone else get secretly scared of musicians that talk like this?

"Hey, G major...thats like, 15, 17, 14, uh, 15?...um 17..."


*shudder*

My gf is more important to me than my guitar, but lets just say, giving up either would be a pretty huge deal. I have a few very high priorities, and they're two of them. :)

[Resiliance]

^Thanks alot.

:o

[Freepower]

Hey, you arent on my high priorities list because i love you so much i dont want to freak you out by chasing you too obviously. I talk more with you than a lot of "real life friends". You poor bastards, i just dont have time!

Oh, and if anyone wants any more personal details, i went out today and bought -

Aoife's birthday presents - Jabberwocky (she fancies Mike Palin), little book of weird love things, and a sexy outfit for me to wear for her (pink t-shirt, bunny ears with pink hair attached).

For myself - Third Berzerker album, for when i need to chill out.


Is my life weird and awesome or what? And now to UG, where Malmsteen rescues orphans and the name "Shawn Lane" doesnt inspire the word "Who?".

[Scorzerci]

Me = flamed for this one

Guitarist: Kurdt Cobain

Bands: The Sellouts, Nirvana, and other names for basically the same people in Nirvana

Why?: Although most would say that because he doesn't play much fast solos that he is a bad player but, I dissagree. He does shred a little in a few songs but that is not where he shines. It is in the catchyness of the melodies. Every guitarist knows the main melody for Come as you are. It is so simple but, it is a great part.

influenced: Hm, not really sure. He inspired me.

Influences: The Pixies, The Vasalines, The Meatpuppets

Songs: Love Buzz, School, Smells Like Teen Spirit, Come as you are, Dumb, You know You're right

I want a PM like that!

Thats awesome!

PooKoo, you should consider sigging that nonesense. It's unbelievable. Stupidity at it's greatest(almost).

[PooKoo]

wellll i dont sig stuff, but ill try and keep that pm for ever.

[Freepower]

To be fair pookoo, kirk hammet can shred better than your face. Assuming you dont have a wah pedal and arent allowed to use your nose.

[PooKoo]

yeah i was abuot to say, my nose is the fastest part of my body, by far. It made yngwie cry once. (long story)

Also my nose was the real reason steve vai lost in crossroads. My nose played the guitar at the end of bill and teds excellent adventure... while drunk.

My nose composed a symphony that could bring any maestro to his knees, and destroyed it out of spite.

My nose sunk the titanic.

My nose is the reason for the hole in the ozone.

My nose gets laid more then i do.

When becker first heard my nose play, his legs collapsed from under him, he has yet to get up. (ok that was in bad taste)

My nose can play paganinis 5th, 24th, AND 3rd, at twice the normal speeds.

Michael angelo can play a quad guitar, but my nose can play a 5 neck, and not cheap trick style.... all at once.

My nose can play Every instrument except the kazoo.

My nose is the real inventor of tapping.

Damn right i coudlnt use my nose.

[Freepower]

My nose can play paganinis 5th, 24th, AND 3rd, at twice the normal speeds.



Its a well known fact that paggy didnt actually play the caprices. What happened was, pookoo's nose was playing so fast and clean that he went back in time, wrote the caprices, gave them to paganini, and then played them behind a curtain while paganini mimed.



(pun coming up)

Thats why when people asked if he was aligned with Satan he would say "Who nose?".

[PooKoo]

HAHAHAHHAHA!!!!!!

that was AWFUL!

[Scorzerci]

How do you guys think Satch's new album is gonna be? I just pre-ordered it off amazon...

[Freepower]

Beethovan walks into a bar. He says,

"Im beethovan".

Barman says "Dont make me laugh - ha ha ha HA!"

(beethoven's 5th)

Brilliant!

[PooKoo]

ive never been really into satchs whole albums, a lot of them are more hit and miss as far as the songs go, where vai and the gang is more consistant. When satch's got a good song though, its amazing. Shuold be good, ive never realy hated anythinghes done.

Hmm....well, let's evaluate:

You title the PRIVATE message "kirk>ur face"(this just screams"I'm a child")

You even bother to make it a message and send it in the first place.

and the kicker-You try to compare one solo to entire pieces, especially one like Arpeggios From Hell which is far more advanced and complicated than the alleged "Creeping Death" solo


Now, if there was ever a list of hippocrites, you gotta be one near the top pal.


So :cheers:, to making yourself look alike a fool in public.

[paddyo]

^Agreed.

[SlashHammett]

my plan was not to fool my self in public , as it was a PM :( , but creeping death solo is much harder than arpeggios from hell , altho this is one of Yngwie's easier peices.

[TheUltimateSin]

Ah, well, sometimes things don't work out the way you want them to. That's life.

And as far as the "Creeping Death solo is harder than Arpeggios From Hell" thing goes - no comment.

[SlashHammett]

honestly , it may sound easy but the finger positions are too fidly and really put me off trying to learn it

[perpetual shred]

all i can do is laugh at the hammet ****er, hahahahaha!!!!

[SlashHammett]

hahaha focking hillarious , get a life :) :peace:

[perpetual shred]

chill out!! hammet boy!

i agree i was a dick abuot it, but eh, my bad, i think we all just needed a good laugh, not at your expense but uhh... **** it yeahhh, but i didnt mean it to hurt you

my plan was not to fool my self in public , as it was a PM :( , but creeping death solo is much harder than arpeggios from hell , altho this is one of Yngwie's easier peices.
So you can play AFH perfectly huh?

:haha lmao Few if ANY people on this forum can play Arpeggios From Hell perfectly, and if they could, Creeping Death would be a cake walk. I like Metallica and have nothing against Kirk, but that's just focking silly.

You may not be able to play Creeping Death, but if you can't, you can't play Arpeggios From Hell. Sorry, that's just how it is. :)


Edit: w00t! I made corny techno!

[PooKoo]

:haha

btw, i put together a halfway (imo, but probably not half this forum's) decent shreddish peice.

Its a continuation on the last one i did, only its done with a full kind of band thing. Its called FETUS LOL! pt 2, links in the sig if anyone wants to listen. Some bits are a little sloppy or eh, but ill get around to fixing em. Enjoy.

Listen to teh techno. You wil laugh about halfway through. It gets UBER CORNY!

i did! thats why i had the little :haha dude!
