Nah. If you're going to buy a person a ticket to the show, you buy them 2 tickets. 9 times out of 10, they will invite you to take the second one. Conversely, just get them a pre-paid Visa or cash in the amount of the ticket with a note saying (Maybe you can use this to buy a ticket to X show), and then they can decide if that is something they would want to doon their own, or find someone else to go with.

When 2 R in Love

He doesn't though.

Carl does sing lead on God Only Knows, but Brian does the falsetto part.

I like the way the Grateful Dead came up with their name (one of my bands did this too). Which is to take a book and just randomly leaf through and pick a word or phrase. The randomness of this can lead to word combinations you just wouldn't think to come up with.

Yes. That first album was not just the template for the Ramones. I think its easily one of the 10 most important albums of all time.

Those first four Ramones albums are really all perfect, but the debut is the template.

I could probably make some arguments that some of these aren't their very best work, but they are all incredible and vitally important debut albums, and are my personal favorites from all of them.

X - Los Angelas

The Cramps - Songs the Lord Taught Us

Big Star - #1 Record

Notrious B.I.G. - Ready to Die

Ween - GodWEENSatan: The Oneness

The Residents - Meet the Residents

Pavement - Slanted and Enchanted

The Band - Music From Big Pink

David Crosby - ....If I Could Only Remember My Name

The Soft Boys - Underwater Moonlight

Propagandhi - How to Clean Everything

I prefer Freedom of Choice for Devo, but other than that, I agree 100%.

Brian Wilson - Surf's Up, or Carline No, or God Only Knows

Also came to say Rush. My love of prog rock love comes more from King Crimson, The Move, early Genesis, Pink Floyd, a little ELP, but even as a Canadian, there was just something I could never get into with Rush. I don't want to argue with Rush fans, but to me, their music just lacks any soul. It's techinically precise which is impressive, but it just doesn't hit me emotionally at all.

I get what you're saying. If I'm going to play devil's advocate here, I'll just say that most bigger artists aren't all that directly involved with booking their own tours and all the actual administrative stuff that goes along with things like selling tickets. They usually have business managers, road managers, accountants and that kind of thing that figure out the pricing and logisitics. Like, I bet you Ozzy Osborne doesn't know how much tickets to an Ozzy Osborne concert cost.

I guess what I'm saying is that most big (successful) artists spend their time thinking about and creating the art, and they hire people to look after the other aspects of the business of being a musician, so they can focus more of their attention on that.

But you've got to hope that maybe Robert Smith is a big enough name that these types of practices will be brought to the attention of more artists, who may, hopefully, start making decisions that are best for their fans.

If it's your first instrument, buy something cheap, as 90% of people drop off in the first few months. I'd suggest a cheap Strat knockoff, but go down to the music store and try out a few budget/used guitars and see what's most comfortable in your hands.

I'd say Round About Midnight (1957), but obviously it wasn't as massive of a hit at the time as KoB was a couple years later. Still every bit as much of a classic though imo.

Ween - The Mollusk (the song and the album)

Maybe something that I haven't heard as much of as I probably should, but also something that would take forever to truly know thoroughly.

Would it be cheating to say Mozart? Like every Mozart piece.

If not, and if this is counting albums going forward, I could make an argument for King Gizz.

I don't know, but if you want an awesome 90s Canadian Rock playlist, and I know you do, check this one out that I put together with the fiance.

I misread. I still don't get what you're trying to do though.

No you didn't. You said pitch and speed. It's right there. You can't slow something down without effectig the speed. It is impossible. In music "tempo" is speed, so saying "tempo and speed" is redundant. And you can't effectively effect speed without effecting tempo since they are the same thing.

Please explain how you think you can slow something down without effecting it's speed. Just run through that logic in your head for a minute.

It's basically what you said. Buses are generally, on most city roads, the biggest vehicle on the road, are highly visible, high off the ground, and have large hard seats to protect against impact. The reason we wear seatbelts in cars is because of how many people were killed in vehicle accidents that could have been prevented by wearing seatbelts. That same thing is not true about fatalities on buses. Not very many people die in bus crashes every year, so we don't need a law protecting us from it.

Now, passenger buses on the highway are different. You are up against larger vehicles (trucks, other buses, etC), BUT I will say, if something happens and that bus slides off the road into a river or lake, it's going to be a lot easier to evacuate everyone if everyone is not strapped into the bus...but obviously there is a trade off there. Most Greyhound type buses do have the seatbelt option available anyway, so you can choose which you would rather risk. (I'd rather fly.)

Friends and I would always put that one on at high school parties...yes, we were very popular.

I'd maybe agree with you if WHP were 8 1/2 minutes long.

Wow.

I disagree. I think they should have ditched R9 and included Child of Nature, Not Guilty and Junk (and spent the time fleshing those songs out obviously). There aren't any other songs that I'd personally cut from the album.

Then what are you arguing about? What are you implying I don't understand?
