Here's one for you all to consider. Concussions!!

I've had one since Sunday and its good but bad at the same time.

Good
-------

Strangely my guitar playing has sped up and my technique better too, i'm also more able to comprehend the more complex riffs.
I am inadvertantly funnier now (and flirtier) with my concussion
Had the last week off work

Bad
-------

Speech is slurred
Not allowed to drink
Eyesight is blurred
Photo-sensitivity (sensitivity to bright lights for those who do not know)
Dizziness
Sickness
Concentration is awful
Sleepiness (since monday i've slept on average 16 hours a day)
Memory loss

The list really could go on.

So i now dislike concussions on the basis of the above but I also embrace the positive things i've gained from it..just as long as it stays because if i recover from this concussion and my guitar playing goes awful again i will not be pleased.

I dont need therapy my friend. My father and mother are both Psychiatrists and i'm certified sane.

You know what it is Krhoades? I'm from Northern England, and we 'oop North know what we like. But when we dislike something then by heck we HATE it! Like Marmite, I bloody HATE the stuff!

I think i better start another thread on the things we hate coz i could go for days (and cause some controversy)

Sorry Gitaardocphil but i really have got to ask...Do you like Jazz music?

I was watching a Bill Bailey DVD the other day and he was going on about the Belgians loving Jazz and was wondering if that is true or an urban myth

Bands i DO like:-

Lynrd Skynrd
AC/DC
Dragonforce
Metallica
Arctic Monkeys
Aerosmith
Alice Cooper
Audioslave

Thats off top of my head but that is a shorter list lol

I currently strum away on a Westfield Goldtop Les Paul Replica and a Bell & Head Extreme Headless model with Floyd Rose. I Also own (but will not play because i'm too scared to play it until i am worthy of playing it) a Cherry Burst Gibson Les Paul that my dad currently fiddles about with up in Scotland and a Gretsch TW100 signed by all the members of the Travelling Wilbury's.

U2...Total garbage their later stuff, earlier stuff ie - Joshua Tree is good but when Bono got mega politically up himself i started HATING them. Plus i think "The Edge" (What a tit) is not that good and is just and effects pedal freak. Imagine a catastrophic effects cock-up at a U2 concert?! You'd just hear Edgey Boy playing Jingle Bells
Anyway....Razorlight
The Feeling
Arcade Fire
The Automatic
Bon Jovi
Box Car Racer
Franz Ferdinand
Fallout Boy
Il Divo

Justin Hawkins

Limp Bizkit (Wes Borland - Good...Fred Durst - BAD)
Lenny Kravitz - Jimi Hendrix wannabe
Pete Doherty
Maximo Park
POD
Panic! At The Disco
Steve Vai - Now don't get me wrong, immensely talented and gifted but such a big-head! Some, no, 99% of the stuff he plays is just dross of the worst kind. He just plays the most far-out crap he can peddle and hopes to get away with it. At Least Paul Gilbert could play in bands and work around lyrics. Vai can't be trusted to just play something simple. However i do have massive respect for the man.

Anyway thats only my opinion
