My Rant.

[Freyr]

Rant? Man, a real rant would be talking about how fucking ignorant people are towards real music, and then trying to express themselves in a intelligent way. I didn't think this could piss me off so much as it did today!
My literature prof figured he'd give us some classic music to examine the lyrics too, Pink Floyd's Comfortably Numb, and some random Beatles song (forget which, not a huge fan). Then he starts going on how muddy the guitar sounds in CN, to represent the symbolic state. The hell if it's fucking muddy! Last time I checked that was called DELAY! AND ITS MUSICAL!! Then he went off into a speal about how a song like that should be on guitar hero... man, I didn't know you could do soulful bends and vibrato on that shitty game
So, I took the time to rip into him for a few minutes about what I mentioned above, and then his only response was "well, playing guitar hero is just like playing guitar"... at which point, I got up and left the classroom.

I mean honestly, what the hell is that? Guitar hero is not playing guitar. David Gilmore is not "muddy". His solo's in that song still remain some of my favorites for sheer emotion behind them. They set such a great atmosphere. Baaah!

The rest of the class just sat there like mindless puppets while he was assassinating musical integrity!

Worst part is, if I hadn't of said anything, 60 people would have walked out of there thinking that David Gilmore is a sloppy, muddy guitar player. And wouldn't have realized the importance of the solos!

THE SOLOS!

EDIT: This shouldn't even count as a rant, more of a random expression of hate towards music newbs.

Great, now look what ya started.

I'm just old enough to gather a respectable amount of "crust",
but not enough to be described as "Crusty" in any official capacity....

I tend to rant about drivers that drive 90+mph, then bitch about fuel costs.
And people who get their political news from comedians, and feel like they're well informed enough to go to the voting booth.

Haha, I was one of those people who drove 90+ mph and... well, worked at a gas station to pay off gas costs (in more way then one, har har har).

Whenever I hear someone complaining about the price of gas (a whopping $1.11 here now, but... with the Canadian dollar the way 'tis, that's a good $20 to you folks right?) I always tell them to hit the bus system. $60/month KILLS the $200 I used to spend every month. (actually, pseudo-free bussing via the University, so it's even better).

Also Ron - I just remember... I'm a comp-sci major, not a English freak. So THIS is what I have to refer you to!

Rants are what kids these days call their Mum & Dad.


Bollocks, that's 'rents. Fuck it, it was close.


Risten Glasshopper, do not get upset about E-bay pictures and you have more strength to masturbate with, whilst rooking at pictures of Goatse.

Ron, Ron, oh Ron. I am disappointed. You missed "Gilmore". Twice?

what's obscure about the meaning of his incorrect use of "effect"? Man, your lit prof is really dropping the ball with you, isn't he?

[atomic charvel guy]

I'm from Disco Tech, and freyr, good job on giving that misguided dilluted soul the shellacking that you did. That guy wouldn't know a good time if it sat on his face. Muddy? That's how I feel when I'm good and numb-lol
Tell him I said he's detrimental and mental as well.

I'm a little English... and Irish, and Danish, and Welsh, and maybe Scottish... as well as half Italian. I've got major issues. :ROTF:
