Be still, O wand'rer!

John Norum is a guitar wizard, and any album that features a song ("Seven Doors Hotel") about Lucio Fulci's The Beyond is always cool in my book.

Heh heh, good stuff. You named some bands I forgot about! For shame though, calling Yesterday & Today hair metal!Dark One said:
And don't forget Motley Crue. They pwned us all.

Heh, ok, Y&T was a bit of a stretch. Their early platters offer up some fine classic rock, but man, any band that creates a song as supremely lame as "Summertime Girls" deserves to be branded. Geez, 19 years later and I'm still trying to get that song out of my head.markgugs said:Heh heh, good stuff. You named some bands I forgot about!

Yep, the Crue definitely had their moments as well. Too Fast For Love and Shout At The Devil had some killer songs. I kinda lost interest after the whole partying "Smokin' In The Boys Room" "Home Sweet Home" era onward. 'Wild Side', however, is a resident cool cut off of GGG.

What would Nathan do?
One semester of college in the midewest = $1,000 or so for tuition.
One semester of college in California = $10,000 or so for tuition.
THAT is why so many students don't have to work during school in the midwest. I worked during the summers and saved enought to pay for a year of college. Lots of people did that. THAT'S why going to the bars in college was so much fun. EVERYBODY was there, and EVERYBODY could afford it.

That's bullshit, it only costs that much for 2.0 GPA students who are too good for "lesser" universities. My whole collegiate career cost my under $10k, books included. I also went to a state school.npearce said:

That's probably true, but assuming you want to go to the best University in the state, my figures were probably a little more accurate. Not like I care where anybody goes to college. I was just trying to establish why so many people didn't work in college. I actually made money (small amounts here and there) from a band I was in.NAD said:That's bullshit, it only costs that much for 2.0 GPA students who are too good for "lesser" universities.

a semester for me was around $1200, no lie. I didn't attend a high ranking Texas school like UT or A&M, which is why my parents could afford it, and I didn't have to work.
And also because my fraternity house rent was only $250 a month, all bills paid.

Woah. I didn't have a single semester that cost less than $10K. Stupid private colleges.

It was a few years ago, by volume. It's also the largest county in the US if I'm not mistaken, and due to all the meth labs in the middle of nowhere, it's not too surprising. I'm trying to find statistics right now to make sure I'm not fibbin' but so far am coming up empty. D'oh.HarmonyDies.... said:
Cal State Universities will run you around $700 / quarter + books, and University of California schools go for around $2000 / quarter. Or you can go to USC for $20k+ / year and pay for your grades instead of earning them.npearce said:
My rant was kinda directed at my girlfriend's brother, who was "too good for a state school" so went to a more expensive college and graduated with around a 2.0 GPA. He's also a lazy sod, but that's another story.

LOL! This is the only discussion I've ever seen that transitioned from focusing on hair bands of the 80's to the state of the higher education system of today.
Yeah, and it started off me proclaiming 2003 to still rule.

Someone buy me a Phd please I don't fancy doing schoolwork for another 3/4 years of my life and having to pay top-up fees for the pleasure of it...

Bump. I'm STILL finding new CDs from 2003 that fucking own. Case in point, The Mars Volta, which I finally heard last night. They kick ass!
Also it looks like I didn't mention Kayo Dot in this thread, even though I got that album in 2003 I didn't realize its brilliance until this year. Choirs of the Eye is the only perfect 10/10 from last year, and that's saying something.

I am going through the album for the first time right now.... never heard it before but bought it today on a whim (it was only 8.88 USD new!)
This album is nothing short of incredible... and I love the guy's voice too...
