    Musicians playing with emotion vs. musicians playing with technique

    Improvisation is definitely not just making shit up as you go; there are many rules to learn and it's definitely an acquired talent, I have a friend who's doing a jazz degree and some of the stuff he talks about on improvisation is highly complex. Improvs are also almost always done around a...

    Legalize weed in America?

    I've stated before, I'm up for legalisation of every drug, there's no black market that way, and people have the freedom to do what they will with their own bodies. We shouldn't criminalise something that someone does to their own body simply because it's bad for them. Also; what's bad with...

    The Antagonist/s of the game

    I'd have to say the Maesters, they knowingly manipulated the people for control, to make the people receptive to the 'teachings' Wakka is a prime example of that. I think the maesters must have known that to truly destroy sin, they would have to kill Yevon, I reckon they just willingly withheld...

    Legalize weed in America?

    1) So what if it's a gateway drug? If people want to ingest harder drugs, that should be their prerogative; it's their own body and for the state to have enough power to decide for them what they can and can't do with their own body as I said in a previous post, that's the first step towards...

    Does an artist have to write their own songs to be good?

    I agree with the sentiment of the post completely, but I've always had the two terms switched in my mind, I dunno why, I just feel like 'Musician' is a far more honourable term in todays music where everyone is just considered someone's favourite 'artist'

    deleted all my music by accident

    No it doesn't, only a few percent of the CD sales go to the artist, the majority goes to the corporation that owns them. Anyway, I think if this happened to me, I'd probly commit suicide, 70 gigabytes worth of music (11816 songs) would not be a nice thing to lose :(

    Last TV Show You Watched

    Misfits. Was up the other night drinking and didn't want to go to bed, so I pulled an all nighter and watched both seasons one after the other. Absolutely brilliant show with an interesting variety of characters and some hilarious situations come up. 10/10

    Legalize weed in America?

    Ah, but that's the first step towards fascism; you inhibit what people can and can't do with their own bodies and you're dictating to them what they should and shouldn't do with their own personal property, that's fascism. Alcohol WAS made illegal in the twenties in America, and it never worked...

    Favourite Comedian.

    Absolutely, definitely George Carlin, I've never seen a man possessing such wit and such charisma, his deliveries are flawless and his comedy isn't just comedy, it's commentary, every time I listen to him it reminds me of how well he saw through all the bull. As he once said 'I believe its the...

    I think there's a Last.fm radio, I dunno, I've never really looked into that aspect of it.

    Musicians playing with emotion vs. musicians playing with technique

    As a classical musician first and foremost, I understand the need for extremely good technique, when I'm practicing, I'll usually go from 1 to 4 hours daily to some points where I can't even walk straight after a session due to the mental strain. That being said I'm not a big lover of shred. I...

    What's your team like?

    I use Cloud, Red XIII and Barret. I did use Vincent rater than Red XIII the first time, but looking back on it, I really don't like Vincent.
