17:19:43 AIB234: the politics are simply silly.
17:20:16 rokchik: So what kind of stuff does everyone listen too?
17:20:21 AIB234: I suppose you could say what politics are not... but especially those
17:20:36 Gen: all kind of rock things^^
17:20:37 AIB234: I'll listen to almost anything except rap and country
17:20:42 Gen: i like dream theater
17:20:53 Gen: john petrucci lol, and his magical knob
17:20:54 Gen: loool
17:20:56 rokchik: I'm a classic rock, 80's, RATM girl with some Muse thrown in for good measure
17:20:56 AIB234: Me toooo. I'm listening to Liquid Tension Exp right now
17:21:13 Gen: AWSOME CD
17:21:27 Gen: those two albums are really great
17:21:32 AIB234: I like all the stuff you listen to rok. Though, never listened to Muse
17:21:36 rokchik: Ya kow I've never checked out Dream Theater...that will probably get me kicked off this site....LOL
17:21:43 Gen: i wish i could grow up in the 80s
17:21:58 AIB234: That will send you straight to hell nevermind this site
17:22:12 rokchik: Muse is pretty good...but then again most stuff coming out of the UK now is pretty good.
17:22:41 rokchik: I'm going there anyway LOL
17:22:49 AIB234: hehe
17:23:08 Gen: lol
17:23:16 AIB234: I want to play my guitar but work was so awful today I just feel drained to the max
17:24:12 rokchik: The 80's were a great decade...Metallica, Megadeath, GNR...awesome stuff....we'll forget about the Rick Ashley's of that time...LOL and MC Hammer although he was closer to the 90's I think.
17:24:24 Gen: lol
17:24:28 AIB234: MC Hammer was sweet. Don't hate
17:24:41 AIB234: That was back in the days when rap wasn't verbal vomit, haha
17:24:42 rokchik: You can't touch him apparently
17:24:55 AIB234: rofl
17:24:58 rokchik: MC Hammer is verbal vomit!!!!
17:25:09 AIB234: Not in comparison to today's rap.
17:25:09 Gen: loool
17:25:20 Gen: good point
17:25:52 rokchik: I'll agree with ya there...except for maybe Common, Mos Def and Eminem...Love that white boy.
17:26:00 Gen: lol
17:26:26 AIB234: I think Eminem has amazing talent but it's still verbal vomit as far as I am concerned.
17:26:42 AIB234: I can at least respect his music
17:26:46 Gen: yea its true he has talent but...
17:26:50 rokchik: the 80's had some great rap though...Public Enemy, Run DMC, Digital Underground...I mean ya gotta love the Humpty Dance
17:26:51 Gen: yea
17:27:03 AIB234: Exactly. 80s rap > all other rap
17:27:10 Gen: yea
17:27:12 rokchik: True dat
17:27:21 AIB234: fo shizzle my nizzle?
17:27:54 rokchik: holla
17:27:58 AIB234: haha
17:28:27 rokchik: I think it's cool that rock music never really had a bad time
17:28:35 Gen: yea lol
17:29:02 Gen: but the rock in the 80 was the best!
17:29:18 Gen: there are also some good stuff now but...
17:29:20 rokchik: I don't listen to much 50's stuff but pretty much every decade has great Rock music
17:29:27 Gen: 90 s are the best too
17:29:41 rokchik: 90's are good but can get very depressing
17:29:49 Gen: lol
17:29:52 rokchik: very angry your generation LOL
17:30:10 rokchik: but that is the era of RATM so ya gotta love it
17:30:20 Gen: ya lol

17:33:35 AIB234: BC Rich Warlock Body Art Collection. Looking at Schecter's and an Ibanez this weekend, though.
17:33:45 rokchik: Shredders
17:34:32 Gen: i have an esp ltd viper 500 and a fake strat lol
17:34:37 AIB234: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v431/detsiwt/warlock3.jpg
17:35:13 Gen: great shape!
17:35:28 AIB234: It hurts when I practice too long. I've had to change the way I play when I practice, haha
17:35:45 rokchik: very nice
17:35:46 Gen: haha
17:35:57 Gen: hey i have a very stupid question
17:36:08 rokchik: I'm looking to get a strat actually
17:36:17 AIB234: I really, really want a Schecter Hellraiser C-1 FR, but they're like $1100 -.-
17:36:29 rokchik: no stupid questions...just stupid answers LOL
17:36:46 Gen: when you re playing arrpegios chords, do you have to use the alternate picking or just dowstrokes
17:36:56 AIB234: either or, depends
17:37:02 AIB234: arpeggios are usually used for sweeping
17:37:08 Gen: i mean playing each note of a chord
17:37:26 Gen: like the intro of freebird by lynyrd skynyrd
17:37:27 AIB234: If you're not sweeping, play alt
17:37:39 rokchik: I always thought you had to alt. pick but I'm not sure
17:38:06 Gen: cuz i see many people just playing chords with down strokes
17:38:23 AIB234: then they need to develop their strum patterns
17:38:29 Gen: lol
17:38:30 rokchik: Oh...I would just downstroke...but then again I'm just learning
17:38:47 Gen: wait i m gonna give you a link
17:38:47 rokchik: for freebird I mean
17:39:05 Gen: and just tell me what the guy does
17:40:22 Gen: www.youtube.com
17:40:26 Gen: oups lol
17:40:28 AIB234: haha

17:44:28 AIB234: this guy is hilarious
17:44:45 Gen: lol
17:45:08 AIB234: it looks like he's doing slow sweeps
17:45:14 rokchik: I can't get it to work...strange things going on on my computer
17:45:34 Gen: oh
17:45:55 Gen: so i must use alt picking for chords too
17:46:20 AIB234: I dunno, you can do it either way
17:46:28 AIB234: imo I'd alt pick it unless you want to practise sweeps
17:46:47 Gen: okay thanks for the answer
17:47:21 AIB234: anytime
17:47:33 AIB234: i may be incorrect, but logically that sounds alright

23:19:31 rokchik: and an urge to vomit
23:19:53 rokchik: LOL...I don't golf.
23:19:56 AIB234: I'm watching the Dream Theater documentary for Systematic Chaos, their new album. I highly recommend buying the album (which comes with the DVD for freee).
23:20:05 AIB234: Haha I've been golfing since I was like 4
23:20:17 rokchik: I think golf is an excuse to wear bad clothes...LOL
23:20:22 AIB234: haha
23:20:34 rokchik: Actually golf is a very skillful game
23:20:36 AIB234: Not all of us dress up in the... attire, if you can call it that.

23:22:54 AIB234: oh suck
23:23:42 AIB234: THe thing I really like about DT is that they often tell of a jounrey throughout their albums. Make sure you listen to The Glass Prison, my favourite song along with Learning to Live and Spirit Carries On

23:24:55 rokchik: I'm like that with most guitarists
23:25:40 rokchik: I'm really trying to nail some of Morello's stuff with the wah and whammy. It's very tricky to get just right
