    Musical Talent: Technical Skill, or Songwriting?

    I don't see the two as being either mutually inclusive or exclusive. True "talent" as it pertains to music, for me at least, has more to do with being able to effectively express an image, idea or emotion to the listener through the music. This can be done with minimal so-called "technical...

    Worst gig

    I saw Guns & Roses at Storyville Jazz Hall in New Orleans just as Appetite was beginning to break.

    King Crimson -Red-

    Again, I don't give a shit what your or anyone else's OPINION is of Traced in Air. What I said was that it was easily one of the best of '08... FOR... ME..., not for YOU, not for phildo, little Nicky, Frodo's Goatse or anyone else. Please explain for me how you or anyone else gets off telling me...

    OK, late to the party, I know, but Cynic is INCREDIBLE!

    A. Well, had you actually read the full definition, it also means lacking understanding, so that wouldn't exactly be the same as "narrow minded", now would it, Tolstoy? English comprehension just ain't your thing, is it, Skippy? B. Telling someone that their personal opinion is WRONG, then...

    OK, late to the party, I know, but Cynic is INCREDIBLE!

    Oh look everybody, it's phildo's malignant alter-ego, Little Nicky! Could there REALLY be TWO pretentious, narcissistic windbags out there ready to A2M/gape their sphincters of opinion and unleash their noxious effluvium upon all unfortunate enough to share proximity?! What are the odds...
