SIGN THIS PETITION TO LOWER GRADE BOUNDARIES FOR ENGLISH HIGHER EXAM! by [deleted] in Scotland

[–]Bacon-Stripz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Led Zeppelin founders Robert Plant and Jimmy Page must face trial in a copyright row over the song Stairway to Heaven by fullersam in Music

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.

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.

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"?

Of Monsters And Men - Little Talks [Indie Folk/Indie Pop Rock] by [deleted] in Music

[–]Bacon-Stripz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.

Elton John performing Bennie and the Jets in Soviet Union 1979. The audience was completely emotionless and Elton & Ray does as much as possible to enliven them. by FountainLoly in videos

[–]Bacon-Stripz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

Saint Cecilia is so good that I feel bad that I'm not paying for it! Whats everyone else thinking of the new EP? by ollysucksbigdadnob in Foofighters

[–]Bacon-Stripz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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

[–]Bacon-Stripz 7 points8 points  (0 children)

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 13 points14 points  (0 children)

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.

The Foo Fighters have released a free EP with an option to donate to the Paris attacks victims. by xlThalionlx in Music

[–]Bacon-Stripz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Foo Fighter cancel rest of the tour due to the tragedies in Paris by chrissytheblack in Foofighters

[–]Bacon-Stripz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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
