  1. What year were both of them released?
  2. One time on Dirty Sanchez some idiot staped (yes, stapled) his ear to a snooker pocket. They then repeated the stunt, but with his BALL SACK instead of his ear. WHY???
  3. Should guys wax chest/back/crack/sack? I'm not one for mincing my words.
  4. Its a Welsh show called Dirty Sanchez, and it is disgusting. The stupid welsh accents make me laugh though.
  5. Already know The Prodigy. Only have the newest album (Always Outnumbered never Outgunned) but i hear the rest of them are awesome too. And bands like Sonic Youth and Radiohead...that's tricky... How about Pixies, My Bloody Valentine, Pavement for SY. And how about Muse, Soulwax (bit tenuous but still rock with electronic tendancies)... Depends what sort of radiohead you are after...'The Bends' Rock style or 'Kid A' electronic landscapes. You can always try Kraftwerk if you like Kid A. Plus Kraftwerk have a great name.
  6. This thread works by someone asking if anyone knows a band/singer that sounds like a particular favourite of theirs. For example, If someone asked for a band that sounded like Coldplay, someone else could say Snow Patrol, or Keane or whatever. So, to start off, i'd like to plunder the collective wealth of musical knowledge of Bellazonians and ask; Does anyone know of a band that sound like The Chemical Brothers. My knowledge of dance music is poor, so help me out here guys.
  7. He could turn water into wine. That's pretty special in my opinion. Plus he managed to raise from the dead. That's mildy impressive i suppose...
  8. These guys give you Americans a bad name.
  9. Made many a fatal error with speaker-phones...
  10. Check your PM Red. (sorry, forgot to do Santana and Deep Purple, will do it another time.) I certainly get what you are saying - I assume that most the jazz players you listen to are 'of a certain age', correct? Older jazzers have infinitely more experience than players of my generation and know many more songs than i do, so have heard most chord changes many hundreds of times. They can therefore 'feel' their way around songs much better than someone like me - they've heard it (or things similar to it) before. That's why jazzers keep going till their 70s and even 80s.
  11. The last one is sick. Funny, but sick.
  12. is always the one that replies to my replies.
  13. I have used the "Who gave god his powers" thing many times and christians in particular like to just brush it aside by saying God is just God, there's no one above him in the divine food-chain. Doesn't really sit with me either. My point is that those sort of question must have led poeple to believe that there is a God (or gods), through logic.
  14. Well of course it's a conspiracy. This is a web-forum - its just not cricket without the odd conspiracy. (I'm British and therefore allowed to say 'cricket')
  15. probably like metal music. I dunno, just a hunch i have.
  16. If we had used logic, there would still be religion. Is it not logical to think that since we humans have sentience (sp?) we have been gifted by a higher being? Is it not logical to think that someone or something created the Sun, Moon and stars?
  17. Well obviously not all jazz musicians are as lazy as i am, but many jazzers prefer to just reel off a solo and change whatever doesn't sound good according to theory - jazzers my age (mid-twenties) don't usually just play jazz, they play all sorts of styles and play jazz because a) It's cool to play jazz and, more importantly in my case, b) jazz cafes pay better than blues or rock venues. And of course some of them actually enjoy playing jazz! Nowadays, its more about theory than 'feel' - if you are going to feel your way around a jazz solo, you have to concentrate - difficult if you're plaing in a cigar and strong coffee smelling cafe. So many just rely on theory - you look at the chord changes are being played, work out the corresponding modes/scales and work out what licks you already know that can be applied to that song, unless its a standard, like Blue Boy or something, in which case the whole band knows it so well you can 'feel' you way around it. As you may have guessed, i'm not a particularly radical jazz player, i just nick Barney Kessel/Metheny/Howe licks and apply them to new songs. Unless i can work out the song very quickly, that's what i do. And i can PM you a recording Avenger. Just give me 30 minutes or so. I'll do something silly like Santana and Deep Purple so you won't think i'm cheating.
