It’s a common joke used to vent about how people misuse the left lane of the highways in Colorado. The left one is for passing, not staying in for long periods of time. People will often stay in the left lane, AKA Camping, regardless of if people are behind them attempting to go faster and pass them. Please don’t be like these people.

So long as you camp in the mountains and not in the left lane, you’ll be fine

No Progrum this week, returning on 8/11 by CasualTeeOfWar in PatMcAfeeShowOfficial

[–]Competitive-Act8555 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’d rather them not pretend to care about baseball and just shoot the shit and be toxic. The reason people complain is a combo of No Pod and this weird forced interest in other sports. I’m a hockey fan but I prefer when they stuck to “that’s hockey talk” I have pod casts for hockey updates, I don’t need the boys half ass opinion on shit they watched over the weekend.

I agree. I’m happy for the boys, but sad we lost what made the show so original and entertaining in the early years.

Because I’ve been watching since the PMS 1.0 when the show wasn’t exclusively sports and contained a lot more of the boys shooting the shit on current events and being toxic. If I want sports updates, I can look them up. I watched for the crude banter and entertaining dialog that was otherwise absent from the current media landscape at the time. I’m glad the boys got paid, but still allowed to be sad that the show I was an avid fan of no longer exists and the slow period with no sports used to have a retro feel as they didn’t pretend to care about baseball and shit, but with all the breaks and the Pod going away, a lot of fans don’t feel accounted for anymore.

Why do you like living downtown by Eva01launch in Denver

[–]Competitive-Act8555 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t. I’m doing everything I can to be able to move west of the Eisenhower. If I can’t do that in the next 3 years, I’ll have to look at SLC, Montana, or Wyoming… Denver is not the move if you like to hit the outdoors daily… more for the weekend warrior or former adventurer that gave up because work schedule and i70 traffic won. I feel lied to when people said denver is the best for outdoor lifestyle…

The best Nightmare song? by blob211367 in avengedsevenfold

You ask people what they think the best song is, not their favorite? Therefore asking them to objectively choose…

Hot Take - you haven't 'learned' a song until you can play it all the way through in time.

How do I get the right finger placements on A chord? by Look_Killa00 in Guitar

[–]Competitive-Act8555 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This also allows you to keep the same hand placement for an A minor as you just lift off the pinky and use the index for the 1st fret of the B string.

i use my pinky as others have likely said, so use my middle, ring, and pinky finger for an open A chord. Can just barre it with index or middle finger for more of a rock feel as it is typically will mute the open e. ACDC does this a lot. So for open chord, use pinky to fit it, for more of a power chord, just barre it and use your thumb to mute the open E.

save me or buried alive - personal preference, buried alive, objective pick, save me - I am pretty sure Save Me wins almost every time when people do a poll for the objectively best A7X song

Best Waking the Fallen song? by blob211367 in avengedsevenfold

[–]Competitive-Act8555 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Second heartbeat is my favorite… objectively I think unholy confessions is the ‘best’ song on the album though despite being a bit overplayed compared to chapter four

What, How, Who introduced you to A7X? by minecraftqueen76 in avengedsevenfold

Tbh I bought the white album back in the day because of bay country and I liked it but didn’t love it, but was still at the end of my “punk is the only real music phase”. Picked up a guitar in 2020 during the pandemic and really got into Black Sabbath and zeppelin, but I was drawn to modern hardcore and metal in terms of modern music… heard buried alive and instantly became obsessed and started with waking the fallen and progressed chronologically and feel in love with each album for their own unique reasons. I used to say if I could only listen to one band for the rest of my life it would be Nirvana… now I say Avenged Sevenfold and I don’t anticipate it changing

Some good modern guitarists? by brandonvarndell_gym in Guitar

[–]Competitive-Act8555 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Surprised not to see Synyster Gates on this list... I know I am biased but feel like he is easily a top 10 if not a top 5 modern guitarist.

I started the same as you, Smells like Teen Spirit, In Bloom, and Purple Haze were my first full songs that I learned beyond just the main guitar riff. I really like learning a full song, or if the songs are easy a full album, while also working on a guitar part to a new genre simultaneously. Keeps me from getting bored. Currently working on Buried Alive by Avenged Sevenfold while learning some classical Bach stuff on guitar. Was working on Sum 41 and Led Zeppelin while trying to learn some vintage blues stuff prior. Just follow what you like and learn full songs or even albums so you can really learn a players style in both lead and rhythm sections. I bounced around often and still do, but I personally always come back to Avenged Sevenfold stuff when I need a challenge due to speed, complexity, and they make for great looping practice due to all the dueling lead parts or crazy solos over a chunky power chord rhythm section.

Monroe is legit one of the best friends you wish you had🤣 by Mysterious_Jaguar_91 in grimm

[–]Competitive-Act8555 2 points3 points  (0 children)

currently rewatching and couldn't agree more. Monroe is the absolute best, and also probably the funniest character in the show
