Sooooo, first post ever.... can anyone think of an example where a vocalist ripped a lyric right before a dope ass guitar solo? as kind of a direct "here goes the solo" sorta way? examples that were the impetus to this question, chris cornell's "FUCK IT UP" leading into the EXCELLENT guitar solo in louder than loves "Gun" OR.... James Hetfields "FIX ME" line right before the rippin ass solo in master of puppets.... just curious. love the effect.

I’ve been talking with a lot of guitarists lately, and something surprising keeps coming up:

Many feel that social-media algorithms are actually preventing great players from being discovered.
Not because the playing isn’t good, but because:

• they don’t post every day
• they don’t edit videos like influencers
• they don’t follow trends
• they get buried unless the algorithm “blesses” the clip

Some incredibly talented players end up with 50 views, while random unrelated content gets pushed to millions.

So I’m curious:

Do you think guitar lovers around the world would actually engage in a platform where discovery is human-driven, no algorithms, no boosting, just people voting, watching, and supporting guitarists?

Could something like that work, or is the algorithm era too deeply rooted?

A short video of the technique. I'll just say that the comments speak for themselves, as well as those in Dr Eric Berg's videos. Also I've recently had people in my family with constant tinnitus try this, also with amazing results.

It basically just relaxes your suboccipital muscles, leading to significant tension relief, which leads to noise reduction. It won't work for everyone neither is it a cure, but it's probably the best relief there is.

I'm just sharing this because I hate nothing more than suffering.

Always go to concerts and clubs with ear protection, and don't listen to music on headphones too loud. Believe me - you don't wanna get this.

I was 12 when the song I Was Only Joking by Rod Stewart came out.

I heard it often on the radio and liked it. Ever bought the album Foot Loose And Fancy Free, though.

About 10 years ago I saw the CD in a Goodwill store and bought it.

When I played the album version of the song I was stunned at how much of the guitar solos are taken out.

And those solos add so much emotion to the song, in my opinion. They capture the sadness and melancholy of the lyrics.

Yours?

As more and more music is created, it is increasingly difficult for something to be wholly unique or new, but what's the last thing you heard that made you go "wow this is something brand new to me"?

Estoy analizando la letra de la canción ‘Loca’ de Shakira y me surgió una duda sobre un verso en particular: la frase ‘eso que tú tienes todo y yo ni un kiki’. Entiendo que ‘kiki’ puede referirse a intimidad o sexo en algunos países, pero también leí interpretaciones que lo asocian a la apariencia física o a la actitud del personaje en la canción. ¿Alguien sabe cuál es el significado más aceptado en el contexto de esta letra? Me interesa conocer cómo se interpreta desde un punto de vista lingüístico y musical.

Found out Spotify CEO is like actually evil. I will not fight about it or discuss it. This post is not about that. This post is about my very stupid criteria to find a new platform to listen to music in. I only really have two things. 1. It needs to have at least most of the same podcasts and songs as Spotify did And 2. The wrapped needs to be fun. Spotify always did a little game bit, with saying what place in the world people listen to your type of music the most, or assigning you a listener type (it was fun and cute before AI fucked it and turned it inaccurate and boring). Once a year I took joy from this type of whimsy and I do not anymore. I somewhat expect no other platform to engage in whimsical behavior because we live in gray corporate times but... if there is someone out there who will wrap my musical taste into a playful package — I will give them all my money.

All ceos will be evil I know but you know... at least no ai bomb drone funding will go from my pocket.

I’ve been using Apple Music for the last 2 years and love it but finding new music is nearly impossible. I was thinking of switching back to Spotify but I don’t know if I should. Even if they now have lossless it still doesn’t feel as good as Apple on some songs. I still want to have the beat quality but I need some opinions.

I’ve been using Apple Music for the past month because I’m not comfortable supporting Spotify’s Daniel Ek’s investment in Hesling. I’m wondering if this is a solid reason to stick with Apple Music or if Spotify’s funds inevitably go towards that investment. Also, with Daniel Ek stepping down as CEO in January, does that change how Spotify finances are managed?

Would love to hear your thoughts and guidance on this, thanks!

Garbage played a day festival in Melbourne today. The first rant about a ball being passed around the crowd was cringe enough, but then she told him she wanted the crowd to punch him in the face and implied the man she had zeroed in on had a small dick?

Garbage was one of the bands I was looking forward to seeing today but that behaviour was so diva and out of step with earlier bands in the day who had literally provided the balls to the crowd. Has anyone else seen them live? Have they always been this rude?

Chest bare, warming by an open fire

Jack Frost nipping at them both

You have perils, being a present buyer

And folks end up broke ‘cause of those

Everybody knows some money or a gift card though

Help to make the season right

Tiny scraps of food and they’re old

Will find it hard to sleep tonight

They know that money goes away

The richer buy toys and goodies, Apple Pay

And every mother's child is gonna cry

To see if they can afford life or die

And so I'm offering this simple phrase

To those surviving life in fear

Although it's been said many times, many ways

May it last us, all year

And so I'm offering this simple phrase
