You didn't like Jesse James either. Clearly, you are insane.
I gave I'm Not There another shot, but it's just not as good as you say it is.
I had never made the Lord of the Rings connection. Then again, I just saw that trilogy a week ago. It makes sense. I have never seen Blade Runner, although I must sooner or later.
28 Days Later is so brutal on every level. It's more about human nature than its sequel. I found it to be rather short though. They kept focusing on those soldiers so I expected more after that. I liked 28 Weeks, although it seemed a bit too heroic at times. It kind of reminds me of Lord of the Rings. The boy being Frodo and his sister being Sam. No? I just saw Blade Runner. I don't know what to think of it. I think I need to see it again to fully appreciate it. Your thoughts?
28 Days Later is amazing, while 28 Weeks Later is awful. I couldn't sit through it. I haven't been playing regular music for a while. When I am actively playing, it takes over my life, and I insist on practice all the time and such. I need to focus on school at the moment, but perhaps after I will get something together. Sarcasm does not seep through the forum, I guess.
Also, I just noticed that guy actually taking your post in that 'Should gay people post on forums?' thread seriously. Some people are funny in a sad way.
So now you're in a band that adds to the stuff you write? And what are your major influences, you think? Also, did you like 28 Days Later and 28 Weeks Later?
It is a basic type of rock music, yes. A lot of four-chord progressions, power chords, and arpeggios. Nothing too complicated or too hard. I was in a punk band for a while, but it didn't work out. Songs need soul.
Haha. Not really. I've never performed. Unless you count campfires and other occasions of the like. What kind of music do you write? Rock?
Yes, I write my own material. It is pretty bad, but I like it. I used to play every weekend, but I have not played a show in about a month. Too much work, I say. Are you setting Belgium on fire with your work?
I found the scene: YouTube - 23/26 Bob Dylan - No Direction Home Fast forward to 8:10, the line is right there. I think it's Allan Ginsberg laughing so hard with everything Dylan says. There's a song of mine in which I change effects when I'm at the chorus (or verse again), but I don't usually change effects during either. When trying out a new riff or something, I like replacing distortion or overdrive with something like chorus (with maybe a little bit of overdrive). The result is often not that bad. I might check out some Boss multi pedals, but they don't sound cheap. And knowing that Boss isn't the cheapest brand out there, I don't think it's something I might consider buying now. Do you write your own stuff? And do you perform regularly?
I would have guessed that that scene was from No Direction Home, since it ends around the time of the motorcycle accident. I have a Boss multi-effects pedal that I use almost all the time. It has like twenty types of distortion, chorus, flange, octave drops, and all that good stuff. Although, I am not much of an effects man. I almost never change effects mid-song. I used to be addicted to the wah feature, but it is too much work. I usually use them to hide the fact that I am re-using a chord or progression from another song. If you change the tone and play it at a different speed, they never know!
What pedals do you have/use for what songs? Also, I browsed through all the scenes in Don't Look Back AND No Direction Home, but I couldn't find the scene where Dylan answers the question 'Are you a poet?' with 'I'm more of a sing and dance man', with Allan Ginsberg laughing out loud. I remember I saw a film that ended with the "Judas"-performance of Like a Rolling Stone and a white text on a black background saying "After the motorcycle accident, Dylan would not perform for ... years." Maybe the scene I'm looking for was in that one. Do you know what film/documentary that is?
Haha. I've been planning to buy the Fender Hot Rod Deluxe myself since I looked some stuff up like two weeks ago. I'm just looking for a loud amp, but getting a decent powerful tube amp from Fender for that price is hard to resist. Ramones are classic. There are only three The Smiths songs I play and sing: Bigmouth Strikes Again on my Strat with an acoustic simulator, How Soon Is Now also electric, and There Is a Light on my acoustic guitar. Those songs seem to be perfect for my voice. Almost all Beatles songs are way too high for me. And Led Zeppelin is way out of my league. I heard Robert Plant plays the Zeppelin songs like two semitones lower now just to be able to still sing em.
I think the song and dance man is from Andy Kaufman, but Dylan might have said it too. I have been quoting a lot of Dylan in Intellectual Discussion recently, though. My amp is a Fender Hot Rod Deluxe. As for what music I play, that is a toughie. When I have been the singer, my guitar playing has been very Ramones-esque, because I cannot do both at the same time. When I just play guitar, I have tried to copy the Smiths.
