I spent all day with my beloved, and we had a great time. She was taking her first Latin final, so she was nervous about it.
We spent the afternoon together, I bought her lunch.
I talked to her about my break up, told her I was starting to slip back towards depression and general debauchery (damn it's been a long time since i was on teh drugs)
She made me promise not to, despite me not seeing a point to fighting it.
I get home, hear a song.
Damn. How close to the truth was that?
It's just a shame, that's all.
Always going round and round. Always sitting, snuggling, cuddling, but never a kiss.
She's still with him, and even though we both know he's a legit sociopath, there isn't a goddamn thing I can do.
She doesn't tell me about him all that much anymore. She went to Kentucky to see him yesterday.
It's just a shame, that's all.
Why does it always seem to be me looking at her, her looking at me?
It's always the same, it's just a shame, that's all.

I'm pretty sure that Phil Collins isn't emo. So, at least you have that.
Love for metal also gives you some wiggle room on this. Just make sure the amp is cranked to 11 and the drummer has a double kick. :)

However, that means you might start heading in a HIM/30 Seconds to Mars direction.
Metal covers of Phil Collins!?

One must always be cautious about that. Though I suppose absence of a "heartogram" is a good start.

There are plenty out there. Just crank up the YouTube. I'm pretty sure there is one for Another Day In Paradise and In The Air Tonight. And this is cheating a little bit but Disturbed did a cover of Land of Confusion. Not that I really consider Disturbed metal.

In Flames did a MUCH better version of Land of Confusion.
also, Phox, stop whining. Go get drunk, drag some tramp home from the bar, and wake up in the morning with an understanding that the only relationship you'll ever have that isn't transient to some degree is the one you have with yourself. There are always new other people out there that can replace the old other people that drift out of your life.

I have a Marshall AVT 250 that I got about 10 years ago. Still works really well, but the foot switch is borked. Fine with me anyway, since I get my distortion through my pedalboard. Works pretty well for all purposes, despite the occasional thought that it would be cool to have a half stack.

I've been spending the last months trying to find the perfect way to express my deep hatred for that shit and how it's helping America eat itself.
A while back, a friend (acquaintance, after this) of mine posted a long rant on Facebook about how chivalry is this great thing that's dying in society.
Lots of people commented praising his wisdom and kindheartedness, seeming to miss all the sexism and ignorant nostalgia (for the Middle Ages) in his rant.
I responded with several, maybe a dozen, objections to his points.
He then DELETED WHAT I SAID, WITHOUT ANSWERING ANY OF MY OBJECTIONS. When I questioned, he explained that he didn't want the obscenities in my response fouling up his page.
So, of course, a friend and I continued to spam up the comments with obscenities.
With stupidity like this there is no other option.

Directed at no one in particular: It's not unrequited (it is, in fact, very much requited), it's "forbidden". Did I mention her super-fundamentalist-Christian parents? On the whole, it's not really a bad situation. We've been spending a lot of time together, and I'm currently happy with our relationship where it stands. I don't really think I'm ready to move on to a new relationship yet anyway, since it's not even been a week since I broke it off with my fiancée.
Epimethus: Thanks, I do.
Blight: I personally don't care much for Marshalls. My former bandmate had a half-stack I absolutely fucking hated. I have no idea why.

I have great hopes for you and her, especially since you FINALLY let go of she who shall not be named. From as little of her as I've seen she seems like someone you could be really happy with, and I know how much you dig spending time with her. From as much time as you guys spend together, I can't see how she wouldn't be with you. She may already be in heart, but you know how that is. If things continue as is, I can definitely see her dropping her dude and you guys start to work stuff for the better.
If only if only I could feel the same about my situation.
You missed the memo.
This thread is no longer about whiny emo shit and is now about guitar amps.
Randall or GTFO. Crate is the only possibly acceptable substitute.
Unless you can afford a Soldano, of course.

I have a Crate FlexWave. I don't usually use it because my Vyper has all sorts of effects to play with, but as far as sound quality, I really like the FW. Never used a Randall before. What do you play, ECH?
I no longer have a large amp since I am no longer in a working band, but the next amp I buy will be a Randall Warhead. My favorite amp I ever owned was actually a 1967 Fender Showman with a 4x10 cab. That thing was louder than god, and never lost its crispness.
As for the guitar, I play a day-glo orange Ibanez RG550 with a speed neck on it and a Floyd Rose. Had it since I was 15. If forced to choose between saving that guitar and saving a human life, the human loses.

Awesome. I'll have to look into Randalls. Your guitar is awesome too. I wish i had a nice Ibanez. I have a cherry Washburn Lyon.
The only problem with my guitar is that I've grown so used to the speed neck that when I have to play someone else's guitar my proficiency level at the stuff I normally play drops by about a third. :lulz:
this, of course, is really only a problem for those who play speed metal. When I pick up an acoustic I don't try to play speed metal on it so I don't have that problem.
When I bought the Ibanez those many years ago, I didn't know fuck-all about guitars, I just loved it because it was day-glo orange. Thankfully, the pawn shop I bought it from didn't know fuck-all about guitars either so I got it for $300, which is downright unfair for a guitar of that quality.
My other guitarist has a Randall half stack, and it is a really good amp. As far as Crates, I got one for free from someone who didn't want it anymore. It's a good amp, but it's too loud. Now that's normally not a bad thing, but when you're just at practice and your being very cautious not to crank it up to 2 it becomes impractical to use.

:aaa:
That's awesome as hell. I had a similar experience with my Gretsch Thunder Jet bass. I got it for $200. Unfortunately, I didn't know fuck-all about guitars when I loaned it to my sister's brother-in-law, who proceeded to trash it.

Well, then, since this is a private conversation, I'll just see my way out.
My first amp was like a 15 watt Gorilla. And man, my 14 year old ass just loved to get the shittiest tones available on that thing. I think I did something like a reverse scoop and cranked the mids all the way up. I know better now.

Yeah, it was so weird sounding but for some reason I liked it. It had a very muffled sound like I put the amp in a cardboard box and threw some packing peanuts in for good measure.
I've never really tweaked the mid on my amp. I should try it out sometime.

Might work better on a Peavey. Gorilla wasn't known for its awesome tones :lulz:
I don't know what happened to it, but I probably sold it to Daddy's Junky Music to get some money for something else. If so I probably got $20.
In my later teen years I actually had a cabinet with a tube head. Don't remember what brand it was, just that I bought it off of some guy for about $100 that had advertised for it in some local publication or another. Had to get rid of that one too though, due to its size and that I went for a couple of years without being in a band. That one was awesome and it's too bad I didn't keep it, but it would have been a pain in the ass to transport when I did start gigging. Wouldn't have been feasible to have until about 2 months ago when the band got a van.

Yeah.
I like my Peavey.
So, yeah. I did it. I didn't mean to. I didn't want to. Okay, I wanted to, but I didn't want to want to. But I knew it would happen, in the deepest part of me.
It was Christmas. I didn't want to be alone on Christmas. My family hates me, and my beloved was a million miles away. What's the harm? I mean, we're still friends. It wasn't like we were going to have sex or anything. But I'm just sucker with no self-esteem.
And then it happened. Okay, no big deal. We used to all the time. Nothing's different, right? And besides, she still loves me. She didn't drink that much. It's not like she was just trying to hurt me again. What does she need to do that for? I hurt myself enough as it is, because I'm a loser with no self-esteem.
I know, I should have said no. Kinda hard when she's ready to go. I may be dumb, but I'm not a dweeb, just a sucker with no self-esteem.
That song sucked then, and it hasn't gotten any better with age.
But take heart, pretty soon your Big Boy pants will arrive in the mail and when you put them on you'll realize that sex is, well, just sex and there's no reason to let it mess with your head.
What the hell are they teaching you kids in school these days, anyway?
Also, that song ripped off the Smells Like Teen Spirit riff. Which was a rip-off of the Pixies.

This song always cheers me up when I'm feeling down. Listen carefully to the lyrics for full effect.

Well, of course Hanson ripped off the Monkees. I thought they were the sons of the Monkees and were playing covers of their dads' songs. :?

Little Richard is always on about how everything is a copy of his stuff, so I obliged him.
Check out the wikipedia page on him. He's 78 years old, and his hair looks the same as it did in the 50s.

Well that's because you Kamen late!
Allegri to that.
You always wonder as people pass you by,
Do they see you?
Do they hear you cry?
You always wonder when your time has come?
Do they know you?
Care where you're from?
I always wonder every time you grin,
Do you see me
Or know where I've been?
I gave my life up when I sold my soul.
Never wondered where I'd go.
I gave up searching for that heart of gold.
Darkness rises and the night goes cold.
'n' I gotta get to livin' 'fore I get old.
I always wonder if you'd know my name.
Would you love me
Or play the same old game?
You always wonder about the gloom and dark
Is it so bad
Or just the product of a broken heart?
I always wonder where to begin.
Should I go back
Or was it too great a sin?
I gave my life up when I sold my soul.
Never wondered where I'd go.
I've been a miner for a heart of gold.
Darkness rises and the night goes cold.
'n' I better get to livin' before my mind just goes.
I always wonder what does it mean.
Is it significant
Or is it all just a dream?
I always wonder where did I go wrong.
Is it over
Or must I still go on?
You always wonder what i will do.
I know the answer.
I'm moving on from you.
I gave my life up when I sold my soul.
Never wondered where I'd go.
I finally found it, that heart of gold.
Darkness rises and the night goes cold.
Glad I started livin' while I still can hold.
That last one is rough reading as a poem but would make kick ass song lyrics... I know you're a musician so I was kinda going there when I read it. You should set it to music and record that shit.
