I am in this thread talking about politics, its not my fault you can not construct solid arguments for your own opinions.

You are stupid, im sorry it has come to insults but reason doesn't work on you apparently. How much more clearly do I need to explain things? Some of the most idiotic comments are coming out of this thread. Its disgusting. Don't just keep saying the same stupid shit when you have something intelligent to say we can talk.

First off Rush Limbaugh is the worst source in the world so mentioning his name in arguments hurts your reputation. Secondly do you even know what the point is of having kids complete community service hours? The point is you do those community service hours in exchange for money to help with college, so no your wrong its not slavery or anything even close to it onto to the next pointless argument. Not putting his hand over his heart during pledge of allegiance, how is not doing so mean you are immediately anti American you can not make hasty generalizations like that its unintelligent and immature. Next, not wearing a flag pin...WHO GIVES A FUCK? Go back through all the videos of all the candidates running for president over the past couple years and there are videos of all of them not wearing pins at some point during some speech or interview or whatever, an American pin being one of your arguments why he will be a bad president is unintelligent and immature. As for reverend Wright apparently you are one of those people who believe in guilty by association, under that rationale if you know anyone who has ever done anything wrong or even if they just know you then you are a bad person, sorry. You are a probably a bad person then, you might want to get a mental alignment.

OBAMA IS NOT MUSLIM. Jesus Christ, some people just do not get it, even if he were Muslim at some point what does it even matter? The radical Muslims are the people you should be worried about. As for McCain being in the senate for 20 years and not accomplishing much doesn't really add up to experience for me. He could be in the senate for 50 years but that doesn't make him anymore qualified if he is making bad decisions. As for Palin she was the biggest mistake to the Republican campaign. She didn't know that Africa was a continent and could not even explain what it is that the vice president does. She is not even qualified to work at McDonalds let alone run a nation if something happened to McCain. If your gonna make all these wild claims, explain why McCain was speaking at an Acorn rally when he made it a point to use Acorn as a way to attack Obamas character. Neither candidate is perfect but Obama is much more level headed and rational in my opinion than McCain.

People are blowing the Obama accusations way out of proportion and it is partly McCains fault. Have you heard what the people were saying about Obama at the McCain rallies? I couldn't believe people were that ignorant and stupid enough to be calling Obama a terrorist and a Muslim, those people should not even be allowed to vote. McCain started a lot of these rumors and brainwashed many of his supporters into thinking Obama was this terrible anti American, then he later had to explain that all these accusations about Obama are not true. McCain kept bringing up Obamas connection with Acorn when there is a video floating around on the internet of McCain attending and speaking at an Acorn rally himself. Lilley you may need to do some research on what socialism is exactly. I watched an interview with the actual Socialist party candidate for America and he said Obamas positions is no where near what the Socialist party stands for, so you might want to take that out of your sig so you don't look like a fool. Grow up America. McCain speaking at an Acorn rally: McCain trying to tame the Flames he started: Obama is already moving in the right direction by selection a very intelligent man to be his White House Chief of Staff, Obama is very intelligent, a good listener, and will make a good President.

McLame, and airhead Palin would have been the worst decision ever, thank god at least more than 50% of the Americans that voted have some sense.

McCain would have been a great president 8 years ago, Obama will be the better president for us now.

If your claiming bands that play for money play for the wrong reason, then almost every band in the Other Music section falls under that category. You can start with how they dress (in a very marketable manner)

lol ok then.

Your questioning the point of this thread when there is another one in this section called "What time is it where you are" ..............and you posted in it.

Yeh I do but the record company cut and their manipulative ways are what is ridiculous.

Actually a fair amount of that is true, if you recall in the All Time Low section I talked about a guy singer I know who got signed to a label for exactly 250,000. As a musician you have to be concerned with money whether you admit it or not thats just a simple fact. You can't perform your passion if you are solid broke. Also you don't want to end up in debt to a record company and be bound by some contract. Money has to be a concern if your a smart musician otherwise you could be left ruined.

Did you read the article either?

So you didn't read the link but wrote a response, :facepalm:

Who gives a shit about how intense mosh pits are, lol oh kids. Pay more attention to the music and less on beating the shit out of each other. Although if your going to see shitty bands like BFMV then theres not much good music to pay attention to.

You have to keep in mind the new guitar hero is meant to be more like rock band so you need a track list that accommodates that. That track listing does not, everyone playing agreed that it was boring as hell. The person singing would have times where he didn't sing for like 5 mins of the song or one song the drum part was 1 drum the whole song, poor planning.

Thats a dumb reason to get a game that sucks but oh well.

The new Guitar Hero rock band rip off is horrible. The drum set sucks terribly and the songs are just plain awful, the game was just boring im glad my buddy bought it, waste of money. Rock Band 2 ftw.

Just a little boozin and jammin.

I know im really big into recording and shit and I like to hear the individual tracks its a good learning experience.

thanks

someone should post the misery business individual tracks from the special edition dvd thing.

Can you post the guitar tracks as well. Is there distortion on that bass track on purpose or is something wrong with it?

Anything he sings over turns to gold, he just has a great unique voice backed by meaningful and interesting lyrics as well as beautiful melodies.
