Woke up today and found out that Don Van Vliet, otherwise known as Captain Beefheart, left us today. Can't say I was his biggest fan, but hats off to a true innovator and legend. Rarely does someone like this come along and shake up the music world like that.

I realize I might be rather late to this party, and couldn't find a topic on them in Off-Topic. A little while ago, back in September there was the FG-X thread. There were these clips in there called "SplattFGX" and "SplattGClip". At first, thought the song was "Eh, alright". And then it grew...

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-nottinghamshire-11645363 While some drugs, like weed and a rare few others wont really have any bad effects if you have a bit too much. Worst thing that will happen is that you'll pass out and then wake up a few hours later. With other shit, if you don't...

I'm not sure I even feel human anymore. Taking a couple of minutes break from HEARING THE SAME GODDAMN SONG OVER AND OVER FOR ABOUT THE 50TH TIME TODAY. :erk: :lol: And this is only the Guitar Tone Comp. And damn, I remember my experience from the previous guitar tone comp. I haven't heard the...

Been ages bro. Missed having you around at the Sneap forum. Good to see you're back and posting again:rock:

Nearly 5am now, just been in a car accident for the first time ever. Some friends and I were getting a ride home by a friend, just after a party had finished. Seemed all good until the idiot decided to show off and attempt to drift around the roundabout and lost control of the car, causing it...

So today I decided to head out to a fairly local skate park one suburb away (I live in Altona Meadows, so Melbourne locals can guess what suburb I'm talking about..............yes, that really fucking ghetto place) and on the way there, 3 kids were walking slowly down a street I was walking...

I started again on Monday. Prior to that, I hadn't picked up my skateoard since January, although I only used it once to get to a party, so really I haven't actually skated properly since 2007. I first picked up skateboarding in 2003, and by 2005 I was pretty decent. Could kickflip 4 stair...

Some people are a fan of that classic super fizzy Pantera "Cowboys from Hell" or "...And Justice for All" guitar sound but it's not my thing at all. Listening to a lot of my favorite productions, like Linkin Park's Hybrid Theory, Evanescence's Fallen, the last two Katatonia albums, every...

Holy fuck. The gig was just fucking intense. I nearly got hit in the face by a mic stand because of Greg. He tried to jam it into the PA speakers mounted not far above me, and the stand fell and just narrowly missed my face:kickass: Ben Weinman is just a fucking nutcase. Playing virtuosic guitar...

From their myspace page/blog: Good Night...

My aunty came to my house today and told me the news :( My parents will be coming home from Tasmania for the funeral this week. Unfortunately she'd been in poor health for quite a while, but I just didn't expect it so soon

So today I was just a bit bored and compared FOABP to Deadwing. Deadwing sounded SO MUCH better that it wasn't funny. FOABP just sounds really muffled and weak in comparison. Deadwing isn't excessively bright, so why Wilson decided to do such a darker mix is beyond me. Far better separation in...

I've got a bazillion riffs and musical ideas in my head and I just wanna write a whole lot of songs. But the fucking drums man, the goddamn fucking drums. I go to start programming drums and then I just want to go outside and start breaking things. I have no idea how to make it sound like...

Absolutely fucking stoked. Just my ticket today:kickass: Spencer's vocals have totally grown on me, so I'll have no issue hearing him do vocals live

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1663306/Decode%20Cover%20Bugera%20333XL%20mic-ing.mp3 This was done on March the 14th, (I got the amp on the 11th of March) This is my Bugera 333XL , which I've just made a thread about in the equipment section. Thanks to Morgan C for the drum track . It was just a...

Okay, so I lied a little, it's cos I had no camera to use until today. I actually got it like 4 weeks ago:lol: This camera is a pile of shit unfortunately, just a turd I borrowed off my mom's friend. I fucking love it. It has great cleans for a high gain amp and I can sit in the room with...

I just wanted to get a clear idea of what the current Sneap forumite membership uses for their noise gating for guitar amps for recording. This is not a thread asking for what you prefer or what you think is better (spare me the "ISP roolz" posts for now please), as I said I'm just wondering...

I'll often go on many different guitar forums and hear about how many people have spent x amount of money getting their pedal modded and then raving on about how great it is. Then people go on to say about how it "robs less bass" it's "more transparent" or whatever other magical things they have...

I was thinking about this earlier today (well, yesterday since it's 1:30am ish) and realized that I know jack shit about politics:erk: I feel horribly ignorant. I spend pretty much all my reading time reading only about music related things, be it upcoming album releases, guitars/guitar gear...
