Mainly, I've been tutoring math at the college when I'm not actually in class, Mondays and Wednesdays, I show up for class at 8am, and don't leave until 6, after my tutoring sessions are done... now I'm listening to QOTSA (the new one), and I'm procrastinating an essay that I'd probably better work on...

likes listening to the whole album instead of skipping tracks... Gets hair dyed expertly by girlfriend every 2-4 months, just 'cause we want to... always seems to like bands that the majority of people don't listen to (like the Pixies and Queens of the Stone Age [although that might change soon])... likes the smell of the desert rains in the High Desert, the hint of wet creosote bushes... drinks whisky straight...

i just put an ATD-I sticker on my bass. i have never put any stickers on any music tool(my way of saying instrument) of mine. i almost put a "MISFITs" sticker but it was based on the "newer" misfits, which i do not dig at all. so i declined to do the honors. i put the vaya boombox on my bass and it looks awesome. .......TRIBUTE....TO ATD-I. thanks for the good music.

I'm the same way with my Strat... then I put a Smashing Pumpkins sticker on the back of it... it's lettered in the Mellon Collie style (The Nightmare Before Christmas style)... That's probably the only sticker I'll ever put on it, unless I get a cool Radiohead or ATD-I sticker... maybe even QOTSA as a bit of backyard influence to succed (instead of suck). I have my guitar downtuned 2 1/2 steps down to see, like the Pumpkins on Machina, Rob Zombie on Dragula and Hellbilly Deluxe, and QOTSA on most of their songs... I can even play some System of a Down, although only Sugar for now. I also learned the riff from You Think I Ain't Worth a Dollar, but I Feel Like a Millionaire.... I haven't been able to scream like Nick yet, though... sometimes he sounds like a Blue Meanie from Yellow Submarine having a nicotine fit... his voice is awesome for that screaming sound.

Yeah, Siamese Dream has some awesome basslines... I like toying with Geek USA on guitar, I can play most of the first half, except for the solo, there's no way I can touch that, at least not right now... a good site for QOTSA stuff is www.thefade.org ... they tend to have some good stuff when it comes to guitar tabs and lyrics, not sure if they have bass though, but they're out there. Grohl actually does make that album... the drumming's a lot better compared to Rated R... I liked in 92 or 93's MTV VMA's when Nirvana played the first 4 bars of Rape Me, then went into Lithium, and after they were done, Krist hit himself in the head with his bass accidentally, Kurt was tearing shit up, and Dave grabbed the mic and started saying "Hi Axl... Hi Axl..." Classic Grohl.

I have that DVD... or at least one with the performance of Hear My Train a'Coming on 12 string... it also has a video for Dolly Dagger that's... well... interesting. It's called "Experience: Jimi Hendrix". Check it out... I got it at Best Buy, in lieu of Pink Floyd's The Wall. Great movie

Yeah, Cortex, the clip of Hendrix with the 12 stringer is with a white backdrop and the funky hat... my girlfriend even bought me a Hendrix button of him on the stool with the white backdrop to put on my guitar strap... I have 5 buttons on my strap, one is Beatles with brit flag background, another is David Bowie's Heathen album cover, the third is a straight up brit flag, fourth is Hendrix, and fifth is Talking Heads.
I can play the 12 string guitar, it's just a biatch to tune, you know? I'm having a hard enough time keeping my downtuned guitar in tune (tuned down so the E string is C, and everything else is tuned to the C). I love playing QOTSA licks on it, it's awesome... even some SP... but I think I talked about this in another thread... nicotine valium vicodin marijuana ecstacy and alcohol (COCAINE!!!!)

i think jimi was tuned lower in that clip. probably so he could stretch the strings easier, i dunno. i'm no guitar player, i stick to my kit ;D
and the name of the movie i saw is called 'jimi hendrix'. simple as that. think you can remember it, andy?
jokin...
