Paul Gilbert's another one I thought you guys would have jumped on. (And the thousands of other guys that play in that style)

Quote from 5haz :

Howabout best Bass Guitarists?

Jaco Pastorius, Victor Wooten, Rufus Philpot, Jimmy Haslip, Charles Mingus, Ron Carter, Stanley Clarke, Steve Bailey, John Patitucci, Geddy Lee, Marcus Miller, Stu Hamm, Steve Lawson, Larry Graham, Mark King, James Jamerson ...

Eric Johnson's another one of those "obvious" names that's missing here.

And Jeff Buckley was unique in his ways and deserves a mention.

Daita is/was another good genre-leader (j-pop—the kind of stuff you hear in video games). And he plays a Tom Anderson!

Quote from thisnameistaken :

Maybe change the title to "Best metal guitarist" to explain the limited choice of limited musicians.

I'd probably pick Django Reinhardt, Andres Segovia, or Joe Pass.

+1. Each style/genre really has its own leaders. Paco de Lucía, for example... even Jonny Buckland is one of the best at what he does.

OP: Saying which is the "best" is silly. That's just asking for your favorite. It's just going to turn into "compile a list of world-class guitarists."

Anyway, my personal favorite would have to be Zoot Horn Rollo.

Just heard The Crystal Method's latest [studio] album: Drive: Nike + Original Run.

Supposedly good stuff for running/cycling, as that's what it was intended for!

Going to test ride one of these at the weekend..........

Will I turn to the darkside?........

I never thought I'd say this about a Harley, but it might actually look nice with rearsets about a foot farther back and very low clip-ons. Maybe with enough mods it could pass as a café bike!

Just to clarify:

My post was directed at dawesdust_12 (quoted)

blackbird's post was directed at me (quoted)

morpha's post was misdirected (blackbird's wording & punctuation was immaculate; mine intentional)

A simple case of troll's trolling troll's.

I don't think more combos is per se a bad thing. I'd probably rather have 10 tracks each with 5 combos than 10 tracks with 1 each.

Anyway, I doubt it takes anywhere near as long for Eric to come up with a bunch of combos for an existing track as it takes for him to make up a completely new environment from scratch.

More tracks is always a good thing, and variant combos are an afterthought: why should they be skipped?

P.S. "fewer tracks"

Quote from blackbird04217 :

I didn't know "sometime" owned the apostrophe.

Quote from morpha :

:doh:
sometimes apostrophes
Plural | Genitive - learn your language

WOOSH! right over your heads.

If you had an ounce of wit you might carefully observe the emphasis placed upon his extraneous and erroneous apostrophe in a PAINFULLY OBVIOUS style.

Quote from -DrftMstr- :

I will openly admit: I hate American cars. I don't hate Americans, but simply hate American cars.

+1 all the way. With every reason.

...and motorcycles.

Quote from dawesdust_12 :

Since we're being grammar nazi's here, that phrase should read as:
"You're worse than me."

omg. troll?

"You're worse than I"

You are worse than I (am)... not "you are worse than me is/am/are"

and sometime's apostrophe's are fun

This has to be a joke... classic.

Grey? :color:

Quote from P5YcHoM4N :

If it worked with WWII fighter planes, I am more than sure they will be able to get it to work with a car.

You got your world wars mixed up.

That was totally karma biting Räikkönen in the ass for doing the same to Sutil...

Quote from Electrik Kar :

It was a girly flick



I thought the Prestige was much better

Apples and oranges! I liked the Prestige because of David Bowie & Michael Caine. But it was long, and I didn't find it exactly satisfying...

I'd rather be able to watch the good movie with the good woman, anyway (without her squirming too much & complaining about poor birdies being crushed).

Just wanted to be the first to say: happy belated birthday!

Each frame was like an old photograph. Great cinematography throughout. +1

(and Philip Glass that actually works!)

Quote from Mustafur :

How do you exactly save up

When you have lots of money but can't afford anything that would actually improve your team... yet.

Quote from tristancliffe :

But I think the stuff with 'Organic' labels is a marketting con, and results in tasteless food, so I refuse to buy it.

Agreed. They should use stickers that say "Orgasmic" instead.

I see the whole picture now. Thanks.

P.S. danowat: what all did you do differently to get that extra 13%?

Quote from tristancliffe :

Yes. What's your point? An engine is most efficient at peak torque WOT, when the mixture is richest.

(I was under the impression that WOT wastes a little gas for the sake of cooling)

edit: or am I confusing WOT with WOT+very high revs?

Quote from tristancliffe :

The economy competitions people do are usually carried out by full throttle runs up to cruising speed, and then coasting for a bit, then full throttle, then coasting. This is the most efficient way of driving. The worst way of driving is how 99% of people drive to 'save fuel', by trying to not press the accelerator, and taking hours to get up to speed. So, by trying to save the planet, they actually harm it more.

Wouldn't flooring it make the mixture go a little rich?

Quote from RocksGt :

Damn, I need lots of money to make a worthy improvement

I think this is the point in the season when most of us do... save up
