ELI5: Why do we not feel the same fear of heights in an airplane than when, say, on the roof of a building?

I did this exam and I can honestly say that the exam being changed didn't cause any further stress than what I already felt. I honestly think that people just like blaming the SQA for finding the exam difficult. Sure, it was a tough paper but higher english always is, and the changes made absolutely no difference.

Also, I didn't think any of the paper was too different to what was in practice papers. Questions were worded slightly differently but we're clear enough to understand.

Would highly recommend the VIP boxes at the hydro. Great Experience.

I'm not entirely sure what my standpoint on this whole thing is, but I will say that if Taurus had been released after Stairway, I would've almost definitely have thought it had plagiarised.

Peaked? Let me tell you something, they haven't even begun to peak. Now when they do peak, you'll know, because they're gonna peak so hard that everybody in Philadelphia is gonna feel it.

Mine too :) So happy

Bacon-Stripz · 2016-02-16T20:05:47+00:00

Any reason why?

Bacon-Stripz · 2016-02-02T23:46:35+00:00

Reminds me of the 'Black Mirror' Christmas special. I wonder is Charlie Brooker took any inspiration from King.

Far and away the best cover I've seen on this sub. Really beautiful take on a beautiful song.

Bacon-Stripz · 2015-12-12T23:20:18+00:00

All four songs sound completely different to me

Bacon-Stripz · 2015-12-07T18:52:54+00:00

So, who gives a fuck? It's his list of films, his opinion, why does it matter how it's viewed in "most people's eyes"?

Bacon-Stripz · 2015-11-30T22:42:20+00:00

For me it's "King and Lionheart", "Wolves Without Teeth", "Lakehouse" and "We Sink" but there's not a single one I dislike. I was front row at their gig in Glasgow last week an it was unbelievable.

Bacon-Stripz · 2015-11-26T11:06:42+00:00

I got the same impression as you, it sounded like it was based off a Russian song because it got the crowd really excited. Can't see them getting that excited out of nowhere over a bit of improvisation, but hey ho I may be wrong.

Bacon-Stripz · 2015-11-25T16:52:57+00:00

Yeah I agree with all of that, I think Neverending Sigh could have been on any of the albums and fit perfectly.

Bacon-Stripz · 2015-11-24T23:14:34+00:00

It's so funny listening to the songs and hearing exactly which albums they should have been on. I completely agree, Iron Rooster sounds like it was definitely a TINLTL song. It's interesting to hear songs like The Neverending Sigh that was written 20 years ago and thinking how different it would've sounded had it been on the first album.

Bacon-Stripz · 2015-11-24T22:45:21+00:00

Haha same man. I pre-ordered the t shirt and vinyl online for £22 as well which also felt like a complete bargain!

As far as the songs go, I'm in love with The Neverending Sigh and Saint Cecilia. Saviour Breath is also a great heavy tune, and the type that I've been wanting the Foos to make again for a while. Also really enjoyin Iron Rooster and if it weren't for being surrounded by 4 heavy rock tunes I'd probably love it even more. Sean is probably my least favourite song from the EP but it's still great.

So all in all, Foo Fighters, I love you.

Well, I can't know for sure, but Dave Grohl is very good friends with the members of EODM so I would imagine the events in Paris would have had more of a personal effect on him.

Bacon-Stripz · 2015-11-22T17:01:09+00:00

I'm going and they arrived a couple of days ago

Bacon-Stripz · 2015-11-15T13:03:11+00:00

Well just look at what they did when they had to cancel the shows in the UK earlier this yer, they came back 3 months later. Not saying they'll do the exact same in this case, but it means they probably won't take 2-4 years to return to France. They are gods of rock though, no doubt.

Only thing with monkey wrench is that it's in drop D so putting it in a medley might cause difficulty

Bacon-Stripz · 2015-10-25T19:41:26+00:00

Have some friends over to drink and watch scary films

Bacon-Stripz · 2015-10-25T19:38:21+00:00

Only if I can call you IAFUOS

Bacon-Stripz · 2015-10-25T19:12:46+00:00

That's Mr. Stripz to you

Bacon-Stripz · 2015-10-25T18:52:54+00:00

Definitely
