Don't feel bad. I have just enough music theory to get by, if you put me in a room with someone with formal training I'd probably want to shoot them for making me feel stupid. One of my cousins did a lot of original music that was kind of quirky, but it was fun to listen to. Then he decided to delve deeper into theory and started writing stuff that was just complicated. It was horrible and unlistenable. Last I heard he still hadn't pulled his head out of his own ass and was still writing pretentious bullshit.
Bold of you to assume I’m mathematically inclined. None of the schools I attended as a kid had any music education, and we never were in a position to get it. Now I’m lost lost when people explain it.
Ugh I have been growing my hair out for 2.5 years and went to get it cut back to my neck and the lady butchered it back to an inch. I feel like when Metallica sold out. I mean it was getting gross but she went overboard. I guess buying hair clip packs I lose every two weeks is a benefit not to have to worry about and the octopus hairs everywhere.
I have none. And trying to play is lawdy. Not even a recorder is in my skillset. I’m talented at many things. I can crochet. I’m a natural athlete. I tend to pick most things up fairly quickly. But music is not in my wheelhouse. I love it, but I leave it to the folks who hear/understand it.
My brother got the Guitar Hero drum set. It was embarrassing how bad I was. I'm trying to time whatever color icon to the beat, he's over there twirling his drumstick like a small dicked Tommy Lee
As long as I only needed 3 fingers for the guitar hero rock band stuff I did okay. I would hyperfixate and play for waayyyyyyy too long from time to time, but never ever got beyond the basic level.
Just because it's amusing, here's an all girl Japanese band doing "Whore Rotta Rosie" if I understand the lyrics correctly. Whatever the case, it's fun. And here's an original, these girls can play:
By the way, here's how I came across Nemophila...I was looking for versions of T-Rex's 20th Century Boy and came across their version with the butchered lyrics. It was hypnotic. And I went down the rabbit hole. You can't watch this and not smile: And in the end, that's why we play...to make other people smile.
They must be doing something right, as they have some pretty nice gear there... and in road cases, which makes me think that they tour. I see some Fractal Audio, Kemper, some specialty Marshal heads... and they're both shredding on 7-strings. I have to think that little room was pretty loud.
You know it. It brings back some awesome memories...when everything would just gel with the band, you knew what everyone else was going to do in the next second and you just reacted. When those times happened it was better than sex.
Am I the only one who thought the vacation rental site "vrbo" was pronounced "V R B O" and not "verbo"?
Until I saw the John Legend commercial, I always thought it was v-r-b-o. Now that I've seen the commercial and heard it pronounced "verbo," I still pronounce it v-r-b-o because verbo is stupid.
Never heard of this site. Maybe a midwestern thing but Ive always pronounced it man-aze. I usually just ask for mayo.
