Depends on the song. For example, I’d hate it if they used distorted guitars on Nowhere Man but for songs like Bohemian Rhapsody, the overdrive improves the guitar. As for other instruments that sound cool on a song, I sometimes like when they used non-kit percussion such as tambourine, cowbell, maracas, and bongos and harmonica is sometimes neat to hear such as during I’m A Loser or Black Sabbath’s The Wizard.

I love guitars of all kinds, naturally — especially acoustics; I also have a large soft spot for keyboards of all kinds, especially organs. I don’t know too much about woodwinds and brass instruments, but I like hearing them.

The only instruments I really dislike are the sorts of synths they overused (emphasis on ‘over’) in the 1980s. I used not to be so fond of saxophones, but Pink Floyd has helped me to appreciate them.

I don’t dislike any instrument in theory; whether I like a part or not depends on the usage.

I thought you’d like how Pink Floyd uses synths, I learn something new every day.

I like hearing Clarinet in a song. It just has such a cool tone in my opinion.

Read my post, @Dark Overlord. I never said there was anything wrong with Pink Floyd’s use of synths.

Oops, I thought you said that you dislike how Pink Floyd overused synths in the 1980’s, a stupid mistake. I love the use of synths in DSOM by the way.

I like all instruments, really. One unique one that I quite like, however, is the marimba. paul-mccartney-thumb_gif

What do you guys use for a computer setup, stuff like OS, browser, whether or not you use private mode.

Here’s a picture of my setup, sorry for the poor quality, this is the best i could get out of the webcam i’ve got for my desktop.

I’m currently using a Windows 7 desktop with dual monitors with Google Chrome as my browser, using Incognito mode because i like to be secretive.

Yes but the US is a big country and there are so many places I’d like to see within my country such as New York, Florida, California, Texas, Nevada, and Hawaii.

What about the United States, although we have a president with the mind of a child there’s still lots of fun to be had over here.

I actually don’t much like traveling, but I’ll give this question a shot.

Ireland, because it’s where my ancestors came from. Also, it’s a very beautiful country.

England, because I’d like to see Abbey Road and the Cavern Club and Liverpool and all those other landmarks from British bands that I like.

Egypt, because I have kind of a fascination with ancient Egypt and I think it’d be really neat to see the pyramids and the Sphinx and monuments like those.

Canada… mainly because there’s not much of a language barrier to overcome and I have friends there.

 

Maybes:

Mexico because “why not?” Then again, I don’t speak Spanish at all so maybe not. 

Germany because I slightly know how to speak German and I have friends there. 

Italy because I slightly know how to speak Italian. Plus, you know, the food.
