    the OFFICIAL Guns N' Roses thread

    Yeah well music is more subjective than politics really...that being said, Slash is awesome but jimi was more influencial i reckon. They're about even when it comes to craziness on stage though. Slash has his cool hair and could play fkn incredible riffs, but well, Hendrix did smashed and burnt...

    The Darkness

    I agree, The darkness is fun to listen to but i don't think they will have anywhere near the lastability or influence of metallica...Metallica got me into the whole thrash genre (their earlier stuff anyway, of late i've been listening to alot more mustaine/friedman megadeth), i don't think the...

    The Darkness

    yes i'm going. I'm all for anything 80's hair/thrash metal usually, and some of the songs the darkness play and the attitude they take is a good combo of that kinda music (but then again some of their other songs are a bit too...err...spaced out for me :P)...i got nothing against them (sounds...

    how young is 2 young??

    I said it before, as you get older the difference can vary a big more because people naturally mature as they grow older. keep it as half your age plus 7 i'd say if you want numerical reassurance :) e.g. 20yr old guy dating a 17 year old girl, 18yr old guy with a 16yr old girl...30 yr old guy...

    how young is 2 young??

    Alot of people i know (and it's been mentioned on the board i think) say the formula is Girl's age=Guy's age/2 +7 basically half your age plus 7 if you're a guy is acceptable :hammer: so the older you get the younger you can go (which would account for maturity and (for really old guys) the...

    the best UK band EVER

    Yeah you're probably right about clapton though, don't know what i was on :P i would've put him in the 60's as well when he was with cream, the yardbirds and maybe the 70's with derek and the dominoes. Queen should be 80's too, but i was thinking of a night at the opera ;)...but the darkness...

    Questions about fees and access card

    Hey, how long does it take to get the letter that contains your invoice for the first year fees? I know they're meant to be done electronically, but when i went to enroll they had some computer problems and said i'd get the invoice in the mail in a few days. Did anyone else get this problem? I...

    the hsc cannot tell you how smart you are. discuss

    I feel it measures the amount of work you do rather than outright intelligence. If you do all the hard work for the hsc you'll be fine, but on the other hand some people don't need to work as hard as others and rely on natural ability, and they still come out with good marks. Then you have some...

    best ever concerts

    I wanted to go to megadeth but couldn't get tickets :( hopefully they'll tour again. The best gig i went to was the Motley Crue gig in sydney last december. The Casanovas and Motorhead were there too (and wow were they loud). Motley Crue brought out the wall of amplifiers, dancing lesbians...

    Some USYD cutoffs are out

    i hope they fluctuate by 1.1 (1.1 down rather), because that's how short i am of my first preference (i got 89.8, need 90.9). :) That said, my second preference is easily attainable (4+ points clear)...so the plan probably is to accept the 2nd preference tonight and hope that my 1st...

    Iron Maiden Fans .

    They're an amazing band, one of my favourites IMHO. The vocals and lyrics of Bruce Dickinson and the guitar riffs and harmonies got me into them. i even used "The Number of the Beast" as a supplementary text for english :) And yes they still make studio album, check out their latest 2...

    Guitarists that can play AND sing at the same time

    I'll have to back Chris Cheney too, some of those riffs are pretty tricky. Also to mention other artists, mark knopfler of dire straits, vince neil of motley crue sometimes plays guitar when he sings, paul stanley of KISS (most of the time, when ace needed rhythm), dave mustaine of megadeth...
