    Basketball

    Pretty much how the Cavs destroyed the Lakers on Xmas day last year. Unfortunately, the Cavs were nowhere to be found come June. :bigsmile:

    Recording

    Look into Reaper. It's free to try without any restrictions aside from a splash screen (so it's pretty much free) and it works a lot like professional DAWs

    My new Maiden sounding project

    Hey that was pretty good. The pace and groove is a bit doomy, but I can definitely hear the heavy metal and Maiden influence. Maybe tweak the arrangement to add different sections, a bit more breakdowns and variations throughout the track to add dynamics and mask the possible monotony... but I...

    Innocent Exile

    This. If they did without the first half of the song and instead built on that last two minutes to come up with a fully-formed instrumental track. I honestly believe it could have rivaled songs such as Genghis Khan or Transylvania.

    It could be Jealous Guy as well :)

    SMX presents The Top 100 Classic Rock Songs

    ^ I hope not :( That would be too low (for me). I thought of this as well but I would imagine (:D) that this song should be much higher in SMX's countdown. Maybe Harrison's "My Sweet Lord"? Macca's "Silly Love Songs"? I could be anything. I'm at a total loss. :p

    SMX presents The Top 100 Classic Rock Songs

    Amazing song, and the assessment I think is spot on. I'm one of those people who was introduced to this song by Almost Famous and it's constantly been one of my favorite tune. It's actually my favorite Elton John song (although I'm not a big fan so take that with a grain of salt). It has such a...

    Iron Maiden "Head-to-Head" Song Tournament (Round 7: Group B) [abandoned]

    Re: Iron Maiden "Head-to-Head" Song Tournament (Round 5: Group A) Glad to see folks having a hard time (what a weird thing to say, lol). This means the system might actually be working. Cheers!

    SMX presents The Top 100 Classic Rock Songs

    Considering the Beatles have 7 songs in the countdown, I'm very surprised that that song made it to #94. If there were 7 Beatles songs to be considered as classic rock tunes, I wouldn't have even considered SPLHCB/WaLHfMF... My guess for the remaining six would be: A Day In The Life, Strawberry...

    Iron Maiden "Head-to-Head" Song Tournament (Round 7: Group B) [abandoned]

    Re: Iron Maiden "Head-to-Head" Song Tournament (Round 5: Group A) Okay, it's been long enough... and I've just realized how long this thing is possibly going to carry on (yeah it's going to take a while lol) :bigsmile: Next round starts now! My picks: 2 Minutes to Midnight Wrathchild Afraid...

    Music of This Millennium vs Music of This Millennium

    The thing with "Drowning in Mud" and other more standard-sounding death metal is that sometimes it feels like just a lot of raw, incessant pounding. Of course, if that's your thing then great. I however, prefer the brutality of death metal mixed in with some melody and a catchy groove. I love...

    Music of This Millennium vs Music of This Millennium

    (EDIT: Invader beat me to posting by several minutes but I'll post this anyway :P) Wow, those two tracks are really good. I'm not a huge fan of symphonic metal, but I was really impressed. I also appreciated how both tracks managed to incorporate those mystical middle-eastern influenced...

    Deconstructing Eddie: My Iron Maiden Songs & Albums Countdown

    Thanks Prowler. Regarding QFF though, while I do agree that it might be appreciated more on a "weak" album, I still consider it one of the weakest Iron Maiden songs overall. Considering that I didn't listen to the songs by album when I initially ranked them, I don't think that QFF being on a...

    Deconstructing Eddie: My Iron Maiden Songs & Albums Countdown

    I'm guessing in that case, most of the songs from the album would be in your Top 20? :p

    NOW WATCHING

    ^ LOL yeah go see it! :D On that note, Aronofsky's next film is going to be the sequel to X-Men Origins: Wolverine... which is titled "The Wolverine" also starring Hugh Jackman. I sure hope Aronofsky elevates the superhero genre to Nolan-like proportions instead of the genre dragging him down...

    NOW WATCHING

    Black Swan DVD Screener is out. Not the best quality, but good enough. I thought the film was great and I loved the grace and elegance brought about by the ballet backdrop. It's amazing how Aronofsky effectively contrasts the beautiful with the grotesque throughout the film and everything is...

    SMX presents The Top 100 Classic Rock Songs

    I associate them more with the more melodic and playful Pop Rock label (Beach Boys, The Kinks, David Bowie, The Zombies, The Byrds) than the more bluesy and edgy Classic Rock label (Rolling Stones, The Doors, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, The Who).

    SMX presents The Top 100 Classic Rock Songs

    Hm. I'm a bit surprised that The Rolling Stones aren't one of the two bands with the most entries. In any case, I can't help but take a guess: If The Beatles are considered "classic rock" (although personally I think they shouldn't) then them and Led Zeppelin. If not, I'm guessing LZ and Pink...
