St Kilda beat Collingwood ... pleasing 99% of the Australian football poulation in the process.

Sorry - my ie6 (company standard) picked up a lethal dose of hard work and now does not want to open toms - gives me some error so I'm getting our IT geniuses (whom gave me global admin rights yet it works on all but my own laptop) to pick up the fcukin laptop and reinstall everything.

As to whom plays in the semi-final - I haven't checked the whole grouping but I'd be happy if Arsenal vs Liverpool was the final!

They perfer to call them 'Ear Speakers'. That's small change in serious audio land. Hell you can easily spend £15k just on interconnects. The most expensive rig I've listened to was a combination of Wilson / Krell / Kimber and slate audio stands. That rig would come in somewhere in the region of £270k. Slate do a set of solid slate cabinates that would take my Tannoy drivers, a steal at £5k just for the cabs!

Personally I'm quite happy with a pair of HB580's and a MF Head Cans v2 valve amp driving them (~£250).

crazy, crazy money.

I'm fine with what i have got.

Personally i don't like too much volume as very few records are produced well enough to allow high volumes without sounding harsh, best i have heard recently has been shooglenifty records. You can turn those up and no distortion at all unlike some. Might just be my equipment of course.

I have to say it was a fantastic sounding rig, but then for that money I'd fcuking hope it would be! Frankly, like most things, you end up in diminishing returns VERY quickly. Unless you have the room to house it then you really are pissing in the wind. Some of the best sounds I heared at that show were rigs in the ~£10k range (all up front end, amp & speakers). Russ Andrews, provider of fine bits of wire does a lovely demo where he takes a vintage c.1970 Quad / Rodgers rig and wires it up with some very exotic bits of cable, that combination whilst lacking some of the raw edge of the new stuff like Levinson really was a nice listen.

Vok, I believe we were in friendly mode. I've seen more determination to win at a Melwood training session. I could see their late goal coming even in the first half. We should have walked away from that with at least four goals. They played bad and we failed to punish them for it. It will be a different story at Anfield for the return match.

Tough game for us on Sunday too, though I reckon we should manage a draw at the least.

Not too sure how you'll do against The Hammers.

Edit for typo.

I only caught glimpses of the game... but I'd have to agree that the first half pointed to a toned down game.

I look forward to both games on Sunday. Chelski is like one of the most hated rugby teams here in ZA where I support any time beating them, so I'll enjoy it if Liverpool can do them proper.

Our game. Away. That is all I will say. We stand a chance with UEFA away games but in BPL it's something else.

It's Friday again and with AC/DC pumping through my earphones with You Shook Me All Night I get this little demon yelling for a rockafella weekend. Seeing that Bomber has stopped the Friday insanity I'm going to revive it just to get the weekend up and running with visions of tall pints, stunning woman and a long sweaty hungover Saterday doing the lawn...

Proudly a nutter :hello:




Just caught AC/DCs No Bull concert in HD for probably the third time, Angus Young has got to be one of the greatest guitarists of all time, he must sleep with that thing, he is so relaxed in what he does its amazing.

I watch many other concerts and the lead guitarists are usually stiff and concentrating so hard on each note they don't hardly move, when Angus is wound up he's everywhere running across the stage and doesn't miss a note, Its sheer entertainment just watching what he can do!

AC/DC has changed out some members, but if they ever lose Angus Young, Its over!

As a matter of fact Angus could play that guitar with one hand, but he'd never lug anything that big around stage.

SS, until recently they have been more of a pawn shop curiosity. They aren't cheap though for a decent one.

Ryan, no never seen them. With all due respect, Thunderstruck is a piece of piss to play. The intro is played on only one string using only five notes. The rest is three simple chords. I could teach a five year old to play that in about half an hour. There is a slightly trickier bit later in the song, Malcolm plays that though. Angus does put on a great show, no doubt about that at all. You know that he used both hands to record the track though, right?

Jef, here's your next lesson. Now that you've mastered Tears In Heaven, this should take you nine seconds to master.
Intro.

Code :
  1. THUNDERSTRUCK (INTRO)
  3. e|--------------------------------------------------------------
  4. b|-----0-4-0-7-0-4-0-7-0-4-0-7-etc.-0-5-0-8-0-5-0-8-0-5-0-8-0-5-
  5. g|--------------------------------------------------------------
  6. d|--------------------------------------------------------------
  7. a|--------------------------------------------------------------
  8. E|--------------------------------------------------------------



The rest is even easier. I won't insult you by naming the chords.

I'm with Tom on this one. Angus puts on a hell of a show, and has written some of the best riffs ever, but one of the best players ever? Nah...

Now compare "Angus" fret work to George's...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=asUQBl1DTDA

Basically he's the reason I love Dokken. Although, it was great to see them live to watch George play and see Don forget the words to his own songs. Saw him literally hum the second verse of Into The Fire once...

Don't forget these are the nice people that gave us all root kits, so if you do decide to follow the link in the video I'd suggest scanning the living fcuk out of it before you do.

Yeah... About that... I'm gonna stop at a music store on the way home and get a tuner for my guitar. I'll admit I haven't touched it, but this week is wide open, so I'll make up some time and get you that MP3 that I owe you. I did locate my amp though, so I can now be a rawkstar!!!

I'm going from memory, but those three chords were ADG in some order, right? No... CRAP. Now I gotta watch it again. Hold on. Yeah, AGD.
