O RLY?

Not so good with time zones here, what time would it be in Perth, Australia (GMT +8 I believe)?

 

[progmetaldan]

Dunno, but I'd be about another couple of hours behind/ahead of you...

 

[DoomsdayZach]

it'd be the next day about 8 hours earlier. i *think* april 23rd at 9 am. don't quote me on that.

 

[dparker88]

There I quoted you.

Yeah you'd be ahead of me Dan, probably by an hour or so... I'll have to do some research on time zones lol, don't wanna miss the interview.

 

[DoomsdayZach]

Hahahaha

 

[progmetaldan]

Hmmm, I'll try to figure it out... Otherwise, u can fill me in on any exclusives that he breaks...

 

[proulxski]

KWTF is awesom, I was around for their last one wit lepond.... It rocked!

 

[Eternal Dragon]

I'm GMT+10 here, and i'm pretty sure the WoW clock (US server) is either 6 hours ahead or 18 hours behind. So I guess thats not much help because if you pick the wrong one you'll miss it.

 

[DoomsdayZach]

aussies are almost a day ahead, so it's 18 hours behind.

 

[CttN]

New Zealand pretty mush IS a day ahead, and I still can't figure out what time it'll be.

 

[meisteh]

It took like 10 seconds using the windows clock to find out that Pacific time is -8:00GMT, and personally I'm +9:30GMT so that makes it +17:30 difference for me. Add that on to 6pm and you get 11:30am, ta-daaah. East coast of australia is then 12:00pm I guess (midday, 18 hours difference as stated earlier) and NZ is 2:00pm I think. All are the day after so the 23rd.

I probably forgot to carry the 1 somewhere but that'll just add to the laughs when people miss it (if anyone listens to me )

 

[progmetaldan]

It'll serve us right for being too lazy to figure it out for ourselves...

Thanks, shall try and catch it...

You mean that geetarists are actually capable of deciphering the language bassists speak in? It's called English to some.

 

[dparker88]

Hmm.. looking at windows clock:

6pm Sunday Pacific (GMT -8)
7pm Sunday Mountain (GMT -7)
8pm Sunday Central (GMT -6)
9pm Sunday Eastern (GMT - 5)
...
10am Monday Perth (GMT +8)

Might have to wake up extra early for this one.

 

[progmetaldan]

I always thought bass players spoke with their bottom-end... Take that where you will...

Anyway, so it looks like Monday 11:30am for us South Aussies... will the show be streamed on the website?

 

[dparker88]

I could take that in so many directions... even innuendo... but I shall not.

We talk, but guitarists like to drown us out alot...
Thank god for the invention of the "non-beer-spilling-proof-guitar-amps", with their patented "easy-to-sabotage-circuitry".

Oh yeah, one more thing... bass strings may cost a fuckload, but we can reuse them by washing with metho, over and over until they break... and bass strings don't break too easy btw. XD

 

[progmetaldan]

Good plan...

We guitarists can't really help it if bass players are jealous of the fact that we get 2 more string than them, or that as a general rule are smarter and better looking...

Anyway, I guess this argument is silly because the power of the 2 together is far greater than each on it's own... (especially if they're harmonizing in demi-semi-quavers in odd rhythms over obscure chord progressions like in 'Spastic Ink'... )

 

[dparker88]

Yes, it is a silly argument, but I'd like to state in closing, there are 6 and 8 string basses in plenty, and even some with 12 strings and multiple necks.

Also, I'd put my looks up against yours anyday hahaha!
I also got 59/60 in the RACI National Chemistry quiz, and was awarded with a plaque. Also, since noone in WA got 60/60, I can say I'm the best in the state hahaha.
