Why I Hate Tokyo Hotel

Current mood: working

First of all, they suck. They're that kind of band who just don't know how to make music. If you combined the Sex Pistols with a Stone Age person, one of those people who only say "ugh" or "grunt", gave them a flashy hairstyle and made them look like girls, you have Tokyo Hotel.

Then there's  that rumor I heard, about the singer making out with his brother and more fucked up shit like this... Disgusting.

And there's the fact that they're Pop-Emo, a screwed up mix. They should die!!! I think there should be a law against them, they're so bad.

Anybody with me? If you are say so in the comments, and perhaps also think of a proper way to kill them too. If you aren't just say so, Emo kid.

9 Days Left...

Current mood: anxious

It's 21st August, and you know what it means (except my sister's birthday tomorrow...), School in nine days!! Fuck!! Well at least I'll see my friends again... Small comfort.  

I've got all my books and equipment, except a razor to pass the time (as in: kill my self in the middle of a lesson)...

I don't think I'll like High School any better than Middle, as it's the same school. Nevermind, at least I'll be with all my friends... and enemies. Bugger. I hope I won't go berserk.

Gibson vs. Fender vs. Jackson

Current mood: calm

"Which guitar should I buy?" "Which guitar company is good for my style and skills?"
These questions are heard frequently with new players  and even not so new ones about to buy a guitar. So what to do? Iv'e made a comparison between the main guitar companies, Gibson (and Epiphone), Fender and Jackson.

Gibson: Gibson guitars are pretty high priced, and require a moderate or high skill level to use. Gibson guitars are probably the best quality guitars. For lower levels or people with less money, there are the Epiphone guitars, part of the Gibson company, which sell the same guitars, just with lower quality and a more moderate price.

Recommended: Les Paul Classic (very high price though), Les Paul Studio (milder price) and SG (G-400 is the Epiphone version). All of the above mentioned are suited for every syle of music, invented or not.

Not Recommended: Flying V (very good sound, but very uncomfortable), LP Robot (a waste of money. It's easier to tune the guitar yourself and costs less) and Reverse Flying V (the same as normal V only uglier). All of them are very high priced and a waste of money.

Fender: Fender guitars have been copied and sold at another guitar company so long it's hard to tell the difference. Anything with "Fender" on it is good. Anything resembling Fender is not as good. Fender guitars are suited for all the skill levels, and are moderately priced. There's also a Squire make (part of the Fender company), which costs less, sound ok minus and break after about a year (not the basses though).

Recommended: Stratocaster (Jimi Hendrix's guitar) and Telecaster. Good guitars suited for Rock, Jazz and maybe Metal.

Not Recommended: Squires.

Jackson: Jackson guitars are probably the best Metal guitars. With a huge price range, anyone can play a Jackson guitar, but not all of them. From Lamb of God to Black Sabbath, many Metal bands have used Jackson guitars.

Recommended: Kelly (looks weird though), Soloist and Warrior (cool look). High prices though.

Not Recommended: King V and Rhoads. Very uncomfortable.

Do You Have a Cool Family?

Some families are cool.
 
Others suck so bad, they make you want to cry.
 
Which one of them is your family? Or are they somewhere in the grey area?


1. Are your parents embarassing?

A) Yes! My life is hell because of them!! Why, oh why are you doing this to me?!?!?!? [1 point]
B) One of them is very embarassing. [2]
C) Sometimes they can be embarassing.[3]
D) Rarely or never (lucky me). [4]

2. Do your family listen to
music similiar to the one you listen to?

A) No person or very few (one or two) in my family listen to my kind of music. I get chills from thinking about their music styles! [1]
B) Few people in my family listen to my style. It's ok, but it could be better... [2]
C) Some or a lot of them listen to my style. At least I have people to talk to about music... [3]
D) Most or all of them. In family meetings, I always have lots of music conversation partners. [4]

3. Are your brothers and sisters nice?

A) No way! They always tell on me or hit me (or anything else that's unpleasent)! I hate them! Or, I don't have any (Technical foul). [1]
B) Sometimes, I guess. but not all of them, or frequently. [2]
C) Usually or most of them. It's ok, I guess... [3]
D)All of them all the time! High five brothers and sisters! [4]

4. Can you trust people in your family with a secret?

A) No way I'd let these sneaks in on my personal life! Or, I've never tried (technical). [1]
B) Only the ones closest to me. Some of them will blackmail or tell on me. Maniacs. [2]
C) Most of them. My family's ok in that aspect. [3]
D) Sure! I'd trust any of them with my deepest thoughts!!! [4]

Add Up!!!

4-7:
Ewww!!! Your family sucks! Sorry to tell you that, if didn't know already. I wouldn't want to seat next to them in the bus! (ewww! puke licker!!!)

8-12: Grey area. Your family's ok. could be better though, try to teach them more cool stuff.

13-16: Except for maybe a few, your family rocks!!! Congrats!
Either that or you're not cool (Applies to all of them). WTF is your problem? learn to be cool!! Dissapointed in you.

Rejected Tabs

Current mood: curious

Isn't it annoying when you post a tab of a song you figured out, you wait for it to be filtered, and suddenly you get a message that your tab was rejected?

God I hate it.

The problem is, that everytime I post a tab I've been working on for hours (or in one case, minutes), it's very high quality and everything, but all of them get rejected!!!! Why, I ask you, why?!?!? Can't they at least send a message explaining why?

In fact, why don't the website managers, after checking the votes on the tab and checking it themselves, send a messagewith it telling you the reason it was, or wasn't, rejected?

Why not?
