The Whining and Bitching Thread

I suppose so. Hey, I've been debating this with myself for years, but would you count this song as metal or not?

To my ears? Heavy bloody metal.

 

[CiG]

I totally think it's heavy metal. I've been convinced of this since I first heard "Stormtroopin" as a teen.

 

[CiG]

Gotcha, I primarily consider him to be hard rock, but I've always felt there's been outliers like the two songs I showed you.

Well, more accurately it is hard rock, but if I were around in the 70's I'd be calling it heavy metal, mostly because it has that heavy metal spirit. I always romanticise musical genres personally rather than go by clinical definitions.

I've found the root of my problem. Lately, I have not been challenging myself much with my guitar playing. Playing nothing but punk and black metal like I've been doing will get me nowhere. My interest in music was always driven by guitar playing, and what's the fucking point if I'm not actually going to challenge myself? I had a blast last night playing some Eric Clapton songs.

 

[CiG]

Play some Voïvod riffs.

 

[CiG]

You should try to record some demos with a drum machine, that's what I do when I start to lose my muse.

 

[CiG]

No I'm saying record music.

 

[Baroque]

Try some Paganini, Bach, and Wagner if you really wanna challenge yourself. Zappa and Beefheart have really tough guitar parts too, especially with the time signatures on some of them.

+1 for Bach. If you can sight read Bach then you can play anything.

Then the next step is learning music theory and jazz improvisation.

Facebook banned me for a day. I've reached the tier of being politically incorrect in this day in age

 

[arg]

haha what did you post?

 

[CiG]

Yeah what happened?

 

[The Ozzman]

I posted a picture of me with a Trump hat on. However, that picture did not get removed so I don't know if Facebook is trolling pages finding shit like that or what.

Ban ends around 8:30 this evening

Do you think that it's possible that you made a post or comment somewhere that someone reported? If a picture gets flagged and they decide it is offensive, they remove the picture when they restrict your account.

Right, which is why I'm not sure it was the picture at all. Someone had to report something obviously but I don't know what it was. The ban happened right after I made that status update so I thought at first it may have been that but it was probably something else.

MAGA 2016?

It was probably your post about how to not get killed by a cop.

It was probably your post about how to not get killed by a cop.

Except that picture wasn't taken down (and it's not like it was completely wrong anyway). If it was the picture in and of itself then it wouldn't be there like Elric pointed out. I was posting some stuff on a buddy's page about the same picture and some person maybe got butthurt about that. I'm not really sure. I purged some people from my page as a result just in case it was one of them.

Anyway, things you can't do in Facebook jail since I'm finally out as of 9 PM last night:

Like statuses
Talk on messenger
Change your profile picture

I agree with you brother. Once I have my housewarming next month I'm going off Facebook for a while. I'm using Facebook to keep in touch regarding the housewarming
