  14. So I want to buy a guitar...

    in Music

    Posted

    It's always a good idea to check out what the guitarists you want to sound like play. Most makes have distinctive sounds (at least once you've been playing for a while) so if thay play, for example, a Fender or Gibson, check out their budget ranges. Also, you'll look like your idols, which is kewl.

    I do have to commend you, Chave, on the use of "Cobainwasmurdered" in poetic verse. But the point still remains. I'm not knocking you; I'm amused by the gimmick. But at the same time, why not tweak it where you can.

     

    And yes, I know, technically any 5-7-5'er is a haiku, but that's akin to those teachers in high school who said that "anything you write can be poetry." True? Yes. A good lesson? Absolutely not.

    Point taken, but it is hard enough to write a haiku at high speed and make it (hopefully) amusing without worrying about flow.

     

    Besides, it's not really a gimmick. I just decided to do it for a day or two to engrain it in peoples heads, so that if I decide to do it again at a later date it will be retro-cool or something. I'm cunning like that...

  18. Essential Albums

    in Music

    Posted

    Should greatest hits even be listed?

    no.

    Why not? There are plenty of bands out there with a great collection of songs, but which are scattered throughout dozens of shitty albums. I'd recommend a best-of KISS over any of their albums ANY day (that includes destroyer). Same goes for a band I'm ashamed to like, the Moody Blues, and I don't doubt the same can be said for many other bands aswell.

     

    EDIT: And I'm aware that this is an essential albums thread, but I think best-ofs should be included regardless.

    You're proud to like Kiss, and ashamed to like the Moody Blues?

     

    Kids today, huh?

    Why did the WWE get rid of this guy??If they didn't want him to wrestle they should've used him as a booker, he's got a great mind for wrestling.

    IIRC, they offered him work as an announcer and/or in creative, but he wanted to wrestle, and couldn't at WWE.

    This is all so lame. None of this shit happens at WDI.

     

    There's a haiku in there, if you're smart enough to find it. Also note that haikus traditionally have a "flow" to them, rather than just five, seven, and five syllables. Chave, this is mostly for your benefit. If you're going to do a gimmick, do it right.

     

    By the way, if you are smart enough to find the haiku in this post, click the link in my signature. Any of the few posters here that aren't too slow for the short bus would be welcome there.

    I was gonna reply with a haiku, but fuck it.

     

    While a haiku traditionally has a flow to it, they are defined by the number of syllables in each line. Therefore what I have been writing, while not high art, is still a haiku. Besides which, it does have a flow, albeit not in the traditional form.

     

    Besides, when you put CobainWasMurdered into a line, it kind of fucks the flow up.

    ::Canada airport. A car pulls up. Anglesault and Canadian Chick climb out, both with a cross look on their faces::

     

    CC: God, you are easily the most irritating man I have ever met.

     

    AS: Hey, it's not my fault you don't appreciate high culture.

     

    CC: For the last time. AEROSMITH. IS NOT. HIGH. CULTURE!!!

     

    AS: Ah, you're just jealous.

     

    CC: Of what?

     

    AS: Oh, you know.

     

    CC: No.

     

    AS: Yeah you do.

     

    CC: What the hell are you talking about?

     

    AS: Shhh.

     

    CC: Oh, fuck this. Look there's private jet DG26Y. That's our baby!

     

    AS: Cool, lets go.

     

    ::Anglesault and Canadian Chick walk up to the plane. A set of stairs leading to the plane's door is set up with a note at the bottom. Anglesault picks it up and reads it for narrative purposes::

     

    AS: "Welcome, Anglesault and Canadian Chick. Please enter the plane. Your destination will be revealed once the flight has started. Food and drink has been provided along with a television, a video player and a compilation tape of "The best moments of Angle and Edge". Lots of love. Mysterious stranger." So what do you reckon?

     

    CC: Sounds suspicious. Maybe we shouldn't go.

     

    AS: But if we do that, you'll never find out what happened to Kotz and Zack, and I'll never find out if they've got any frozen peas.

     

    CC: Okay. Lets do it.

     

    ::The intrepid duo enter the plane. Once inside they are amazed by the extravagant splendour of the interior, with velvet curtains draped across the walls, a nice red carpet and 2 reclinable chairs::

     

    AS: Cool! Reclinable chairs!

     

    ::They both sit down as the plane takes off. After a few hours of Edge and Angle matches they (understandably) fall asleep. When Canadian Chick awakes she is confronted by a masked figure::

     

    CC: Ah! Hey, who are you? Where did you come from?

     

    Masked Stranger: Heh. So many questions for one so young. Relax my dear. Do you wish to wake your companion?

     

    CC: Yeah, why not. He's beginning to drool.

     

    ::Canadian Chick slaps Anglesault hard on the forehead::

     

    AS: What? The? Fuck?

     

    ::Anglesault opens his eyes to see the masked stranger::

     

    AS: Wow, Canadian Chick. You look like shit without your face on.

     

    CC: I'm over here dumbass.

     

    AS: Oh. Then who's this dumbass?

     

    CC: ?

     

    Masked Stranger: Relax. All will be revealed shortly. Here, I took the liberty of preparing you both a drink.

     

    ::The masked stranger reaches down by his chair and picks up three flutes of champagne. He gives one to Canadian Chick, one to Anglesault and keeps the last for himself. Canadian Chick leans over to whisper in the masked strangers ear::

     

    CC: Um, hey. Mr Stranger? I'm not sure you should be giving AS champagne. He's out of touch with reality as it is.

     

    Masked Stranger: Relax, my dear. It's only apple juice. He'll never realise the difference

     

    ::Anglesault sips some of his drink::

     

    AS: Ah, an alcohol. I drink it all the time. Delicious!

     

    CC: I see your point.

     

    Masked Stranger: You will have to drink it quickly my friends. We have almost arrived at our destination.

     

    AS: Oh, what exotic climes has this mysterious stranger escorted us to? The Mediterrainian? The Bahamas? Goa?

     

    Masked Stranger: That would be telling Anglesault.

     

    CC: Well, that sign out there says "Welcome to sunny Houston".

     

    Masked Stranger: Yeah. Well, the rents cheap. Let us go.

     

    ::The trio step out of the plan and straight into a waiting stretch limo with tinted windows::

     

    Masked Stranger: So, you wish to know why I brought you here? I was contacted by Choken to bring Canadian Chick and Zack, whatever the cost. Even if it meant the deaths of Kotz and Anglesault.

     

    AS: But wait. I'm alive and Zacks dead. Now I don't take any pleasure in pointing out glaring plot holes but: WTF?

     

    Masked Stranger: Ah, yes. That was my mistake. I thought Zack was you when I, ahem, disposed of him.

     

    CC: That's all well and good. But who exactly are you.

     

    Masked Stranger: Elementary my dear. I. Am. BANKY!

     

    AS: Oh. Well, that makes sense, I guess. But why did Choken contact you?

     

    Banky: Simple. To end the reign of Dames.

     

    ::The limo pulls up outside an apartment building::

     

    Banky: Come with me. There's someone I think you'd like to meet.

     

    ::They enter a non-descript condominium, which houses one of those cool swivel chairs that Bond films have. The chair turns round to reveal a figure smoking a Cuban Cigar and holding a chapagne glass::

     

    Choken: It's good to see you all again. I believe there is some business you can all help me with.

    ::We return to Canadian Chicks basement the morning after the night before. Anglesault awakes from his unconscious slumber. He sits up, rubs his head, and looks across to see Canadian Chick doing the same::

     

    AS: Ow. What the hell happened last night?

     

    CC: I dunno. The last thing I remember was struggling with Zack and Kotz a few seconds after you got knocked out.

     

    AS: Wow. I wonder where they went?

     

    CC: God knows. I'm going upstairs to get some water.

     

    AS: Good call.

     

    ::The two of them go up the stairs and into Canadian Chick's kitchen::

     

    AS: Zack! Kotz! Where'd you guys go to?

     

    ::Suddenly Canadian Chick spies a puddle of blood on the floor::

     

    CC: *GASP* Oh. My. God.

     

    AS: Hey. That blood?

     

    CC: Yep. And there's a trail of it leading to my walk in meat freezer.

     

    ::They walk over to Canadian Chick's massive meat freezer::

     

    AS: Hey, CC. Sorry to ruin the suspense, and all, but why the hell do you have an industrial sized meat freezer?

     

    CC: Meh. It came with the place. Besides, you never know when you're gonna need a place to store hundreds of tonnes of fresh meat.

     

    AS: Oh yeah. That happened to me once. The saddest day of my life. So, you gonna open the door?

     

    CC: Me?

     

    AS: Yeah. I figure, seing as it's your freezer and all.

     

    CC: But I'm a girl. And besides, that freezer probably contains the bodies of two of my lovers.

     

    AS: So. You want me to do it, then.

     

    CC: Yes please.

     

    AS: It's just I hurt my arm a few months back, and my doctor says I...

     

    CC: JUST DO IT BITCH!

     

    AS: Okay then. Here I go.

     

    ::Anglesault opens the freezer door and looks inside while Canadian Chick looks away::

     

    AS: Wow, this is a big freezer. Hey, if I ever need somewhere to store my meat, can I come round here?

     

    CC: *sigh* Just tell me what's in the freezer AS.

     

    AS: Right. A pack of Fish Fingers. An open pack of potato wedges.

    Um, some chocolate ice cream. Kotz and Zack. Some, hey! Are those frozen peas? I love frozen peas!

     

    CC: Kotz and Zack?

     

    AS: Oh yeah, I said that without thinking about it. Hey, they look kinda dead. You wanna have a look?

     

    CC: Nooooo!

     

    ::Canadian Chick runs to the sink and starts crying uncontrollably. Anglesault approaches her nervously from behind::

     

    AS: Hey. You okay?

     

    CC: *mumbles something*

     

    AS: I didn't quite catch that. Was it a yes?

     

    CC: No, you dumb gimp!

     

    AS: Oh. Because if it was a yes, I was gonna cook those frozen peas.

     

    CC: *sobs*

     

    AS: So, um. What you upset about?

     

    CC: Zack and Kotz, the two men I loved more than any other in this thread, got killed mysteriously last night. How's that for starters.

     

    AS: Oh, so you're really upset bout that, huh? Hey, you know what'd cheer you up? Frozen peas!

     

    CC: Oh, fuck off Anglesault.

     

    ::Anglesault wonders intothe freezer to get the frozen peas. He comes back out holding the bag a few seconds later::

     

    AS: Hey. This isn't abag of frozen peas. It's a bag of mixed veg. Argh! That is easily the most shocking and annoying thing that could happen to me today.

     

    CC: WAAAAAHHHHHH!

     

    AS: Yea, I know. Mixed veg sucks!

     

    ::The phone rings in the living room::

     

    AS: So, you gonna get that?

     

    CC: Anything to get away from you.

     

    ::Canadian Chick leaves the room::

     

    AS: Hey, what's eating that guy?

     

    ::Canadian Chick enters the living room and picks up the phone::

     

    CC: Aloha!

     

    Muffled Voice: Canadian Chick. You and Anglesault must come to the airport. Private jet DG26Y is waiting for you.

     

    CC: What? Who is this? What's going on?

     

    Muffled Voice: If you want to know what happened to Zack and Kotz, be at the airport in an hours time::

     

    ::The phone goes dead. Canadian Chick puts it down and returns to the kitchen::

     

    AS: Hey, CC. Do you like carrots and broccoli? Because, I figured we could share the mixed veg. I'd get all the peas though..

     

    CC: There's no time AS. We've gotta go to the airport!

     

    AS: Okay, but only if I can get peas there.
