Hello, I am a Rock Band Addict...

It is one of the reasons I haven't been on here much, lately.

Who else has gotten a chance to experience this game?

speaking as someone that has played guitar for 12 years:

I think guitar hero/rock band absolutely help you in some regards to playing the real guitar... it really teaches you rhythm and timing which for a lot of n00bs is a hard thing to grasp.

Indeed, I used language! I'm such a horrible person for using a word. You know who else used that word? Chaucer...and for those of you who want to dispute that it meant something different back then, so did James Joyce.

If you want to stop being called that, stop acting like one, or grow some thicker skin.

I just randomly picked one of his posts and quoted it. I didn't read it or mean it for any special message to you.

However, if I had it would have been to see you tear into somebody for using the word...

M'eh. I didn't read it carefully enough. Any post would do, but I would have picked one without that word or given more of a reason for it had I actually read carefully.

You know, I don't remember quoting Cypress solely so that SF can see it. I might have done it some time, but I don't recall the occassion. So the other part of this, is that you "gave back" to the wrong person.
And that's fine too Damo, normally I really wouldn't care. But it doesn't look good for someone I like to be doing this :readit: to a post calling me a cunt. It's kind of hurtful. Like most people, I don't care what people I have complete contempt for think or say about me. But you're not Gonzo.

I actually am in agreement with Watermark for once. Rap sucks a big one. So does country for that matter. I'm open to most anything else, including indie rock, which you are dissing Grind for, and which I pointed out there is at least one kick-ass song currently playing on the radio...

Of course, my favorites are not always too popular. Not much controversy in saying alternative rock circa 1998-2001, but I also am a fan of disco, techno dance and hip hop. :)
