  6. Favorite Movie Soundtracks!

    in Movies and TV

    Posted

    School of Rock has a good soundtrack

    the rocky horror picture show

    That's what im TALKIN BOUT! Also, The Wall has a great soundtrack. :bow: I'm not sure if anyone answered Opiate's question, but the album came before the movie. The album was 1979, and the movie was 1982 I think. I also like Back To The Future a lot. Dazed and Confused had a good soundtrack, too bad the movie itself sucked. Why would that guy quit the football team to go to an Aerosmith concert?! I wouldn't quit the Chess team to go to an Aerosmith concert.

  7. Comfortably Numb song meaning

    That would be just too much punishment for one individual to endure, Waters said.
    :laughing: At first I thought he was talking about the listener. I was gonna say, "Hey, I like that song!" And yeah, I heard the whole rat scenario really happened. That song was probably one of the most memorable cinematic moments.

  9. Return Of The Pink Panther

    YES!!!! MAN!!!! Not only do I love Steve Martin, but I LOVE the Pink Panther movies. Finally, Steve Martin is back doing good movies again. Most of his movies lately have been that sappy, corny, not Steve Martin humor movies. I have heard rumors of another Pink Panther movie, but I wasn't sure of whether it was a remake of one, or another installment. But man, how cool? I can't wait to see this. Any word on who will be playing Kato?

  10. Favorite riffs

    I hear from a lot of people that The Red Hot Chili Peppers are good. Maybe I should get into them. Anyone have any songs on their computer they could send me? IM me on aim though please, my email account deactivated itself, and my other account is backed up with spam. My screen name is Grebulous. I would also like to add my love for the riff, just four notes, but really cool, in Into The Mystic by Van Morrison. It's right before he says "And when that foghorn blows." If you've heard the song you'll know what I'm talking about.

    {Edit: And while we are on the subject of Van Morrison, just listen to the song Domino. That song is riffs galore. And they all kick anus.}

  11. Funny lyrics

    Really? I never viewed that song as humorous. I have always thought he was being simple when he wrote that. But I guess that sort of simplicity probably is derived from a sense of humor. It's a great song. Proof to todays youngsters that songs can be about something besides death and sorrow or sex.

  13. Who is (or was) the worlds best guitarist?

    Being a great guitarist is not about how popular you are; it's not about the venues you play; it's not about the celebrities you play for; it's about being a great guitarist. Some of the best guitarists will remain unnoticed. Some of the most overrated will gain the most popularity. Now I don't know this May fellow, but if you say he is the world's greatest guitarist because he played for the queen, then I can't trust that his popularity is based on talent. David Gilmour is still the best. :guitar:

    Uhmm, this is like a picture from my Apollo 18 lunar excursion, uhmm, the real pictures are just in my head so I had to like make this one on the 'puter... Uhmm, I really like the song dain bramage from the fink Ployd record Shark Died of the Groom.

    :laughing:

    By the way Scott, I always figured you were a guy because of your screen name, but the lighting in your picture is pretty bad and at first I thought it was a picture of a girl, until I looked at for a while and realized it was a guy. :o

    -Also, CyberDemon, if you are reading this, what was your old icon? The picture was all squished, and it looked like a Chinese guy with blonde hair, but I couldn't really figure out what it was.

  17. Favorite riffs

    Riffs on guitar or bass or on keys, or even fills on drums. A riff in a song that just makes you say "Man, that was cool." Post 'em here. I like that one bass riff in Maxwell's Silver Hammer between the verse and chorus. The synthesizer plays it the first time, then the bass the second. Also, there is this one really fast riff in Sultans of Swing by The Dire Straits, towards the end of the guitar solo, that sounds really cool. And in the end of The Thin Ice by Pink Floyd, David Gilmour plays this really simple but cool riff. It's when it starts doing the melody to Goodbye Blue Sky (sort of) in a kind of minor key. Then he hits an unexpectedly high note on his guitar. I love that. And then there is the bass riff I Want You/She's So Heavy, right after it hits that diminished chord and the organ is blaring, and then the bass does that little ditty that leads it into She's So Heavy. Those are just a few I can think of right now.

    {I'm adding this in an edit. I love the disjointed, classical sound of the one riff between the first chorus and second verse of See Emily Play played on guitar and some toy sounding piano. Early Pink Floyd were the riff masters!}

    Have you ever noticed that pieces of the solos in Time and Comfortably Numb have some of the same riffs? At least it was the same band. I can't stand when some band rips-off a song from an earlier, usually, much better band. I saw this saying on the side of a Mike's Hard Lemonade: If you're going to be original, you can count on being copied.
