    Think We Invented Death/Tech Metal? Think Again

    Gamelan is one of those things that has irreversibly changed how I understand tonality. Phenomenal.

    "No refusal" DUI checkpoints in FL

    I never said that, asshole. Don't put words in my mouth. Maybe you'd like to live in Singapore, where possession of illegal drugs will most likely get you executed? Oh wait but drugs are sooooo bad, right? This kind of control is the first step towards that type of government. I distrust...

    I believe my musical third eye has opened.

    The definition of music that I hold to is that it is any sounds or noises that are deliberately organized by an intelligent being. EXAMPLES: Stockhausen John Cage

    What do you hope to achieve in 2011?

    1. Learn French with my friend Adam by using Rosetta Stone. 2. Go to Montreal in the summer and see if I can get by with newly acquired Franco-phonics. 3. Finally master sweep-picking (almost there!). 4. Find a girlfriend (been single four months).

    SS Love and Relationships Thread

    As of late I tend to hate myself because I feel so shallow for breaking up with my last gf since I think that no one will ever love me as truly as her. The girl literally WORSHIPED me, but she changed soooo much since I first knew her. She stopped dressing girly, started working out waaaaay...

    The worst song ever made...

    BAHAHAHA I remember when that first came out, and I made it a point to show everyone at work. It's great 'cause now whenever anything happens we can say "miracles everywhere" or "magic and miracles" or "how does it work?" and it instantly lightens the mood. Thank you ICP, thank you. I lol'd...

    Can't get used to 7 strings..

    Like everybody seems to be saying, just practice, practice, practice. Lock yourself in your room with some coffee and don't get discouraged when you mess up. You can do pretty much anything with enough practice.....and coffee.

    Uganda's "Kill The Gays" Bill... WTF?!

    Michel Foucault makes a really good case in "The History of Sexuality" that "homosexual" is a modern classification which really has no correlate in history, since we use people's sexuality nowadays to define who they are in their core, whereas in other societies, it was seen as something that...

    How 8 string and 9 string guitars change the role of the bass player in metal.

    I always thought it wouldn't be all that bad to have a drop E eight-string coupled with a bass tuned to the normal EADG. Does anyone see how that might not work out?

    Scales of the neck?

    Kind of related: I was watching the Always Sunny in Philadelphia episode where the gang forms a band, and when Mac is in the guitar shop, the salesman is talking about the specs of the guitar and is like, "Yeah, it's got a 35" scale". I chuckled.

    The SS.org Tunings Thread

    7-string: standard, AEADGBE, or G#D#G#C#F#A#D# 8-string: standard or EBEADGBE I'm gonna go back to a six string soon when I have a spare $300 to replace the one I sold. After that I can fuck around with a lot of the weirder djent tunings I keep seeing.
