there was an intersting interview with dan spitz where he talked about taking the bass out of metal. it seems that, as metal developed its guitar sound, it really pushed the bass out of the pictures. i agree, though i feel it is a shame, since it is a great instrument. i think bassists need...

well jon was probably mentally healthy way back then.

so you liked reinkaos? if prozak would have saved us from that crapfest, then its worth its weight in gold.

mahogany is more expensive because it is a protected species, being hard to grow and increasingly rare. even though mahogany is a dense wood, it is soft. it is also a very good tonewood. alder is mainly used on bolt on guitars, but remember that most of the les pauls have maple as neck...

stupid people also commit suicide. however, it seems pretty obvious that jon nodtveidt was not mentally healthy. its a shame he never got treatment. maybe a little prozac?

oh no, democracy dropped the bomb? sob! seriously, there is no critical thinking here. how many japanese died in hiroshima and nagasaki bombings, and how many in the firebombings of tokyo (a wooden city)? just watch fog of war. the bomb was nothing compared to the fire bombings. fools.

i would say that bush has not heeded machiavelli. not just the prince, but also the discourses, which i would argue are more a true representation of old nick. for example, he does not heed machiavelli's advice on invasion (invasion of foreign lands only works through colonization). he also...

interesting discussion. i have looked into a coherent energy policy myself, and am currently drafting a paper on the subject. i'll start with the most politically charged. ethanol is, as i understand it, a net energy loser. ethanol is made from corn, and corn requires vast amounts of...

false analogy. pieces of a watch do not behave like atoms, subatomic particles, molecules, or whatever else you are trying to compare. if you randomly collide pieces of a watch together, they will not stick because they do not have positive and negative charges. further more, pieces of a...

wow! hippie posts again, good to hear from you steve! i'd like to add my 2 cents, especially about beethoven. yes, he became totally deaf later in life. and he wrote one of europe's great masterpieces (9th symphony) while totally deaf. also some very good quartets and the missa solemnis...

i don't understand why you would think i am not calm, you use far more capitals that i... no, you misunderstand. i did not mean to suggest that mixing of species is the only mechanism for evolution. but it is one way that it happens, and is easily observable. rather, i was try to disprove...

really? i saw no question marks or any other indication that it was an interrogative sentence. it looked rather declarative. 1)no answers until i read questions 2)no, you didn't 3)no, i'm not

strawman argument, you lose.

exactly. or to quote a frequent poster, USE COMMON SENSE.

funny, i would say the same about The Anus there are quite a few errors with that article. here are a few: "inbreeding has been employed by humans for developing agricultural breeds for millennia, and is the only means for developing strains with characteristics that the breeder desires."...
