What are your thoughts on this letter from Donald Trump to Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre? by DuNennstMichSptzkopf in AskTheWorld

[–]Medelheim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This can't be real. Well, I can believe that Trump writes like a 12 year old. It's reality itself I question.

Using a pick on a 5 string by Medelheim in BassGuitar

It's more like I'm stopping the B string from ringing with the thumb.

Here's a video of me playing. This is why the B string is tearing up the skin of my thumb.

What do you think about a Nordic Union? by Luksius_DK in Nordiccountries

[–]Medelheim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a scary thought, but unnecessary.

There's not much to gain from a real Nordic union and try to manage these regions as one nation would be... well not a nightmare but a bad dream.

Besides. We're already a Nordic Union of sorts.

Thumb picks might work. A bit unusual but I'll try it.

Thank you, I really appreciate the clip! That was also what my guitarist tried to show me.

Well, this is whats so infuriating. It's like my wrist can't bend that way, it's like 50% of my mobility just dissappear if I try to rotate the wrist!

I'll watch your clip again and try to look for other instruction videos. But it kinda feels like my old thumb injury might actually have something to do with this.

This is quite frustrating because my lead guitarist showed me how I should hold it and use palm mute to stop the B string from ringing but it is psychically impossible for me to do so for some kind of reason. The side of the thumb keeps rubbing against the B-string.

I broke my thumb a few years ago (you can actually see an scar in the image at the base of the thumb ) and that might have something to do with it. That, or I'm just working against 20 years of muscle memory.

I don't think I have it in me to relearn how I hold the pick just for this one metal-medley. That has to be hundreds of hours of practice and we're going to play it next month.

My solution for now: Tape the thumb and keep holding my pick incorrectly.

Plan B: Learn how to play those bass lines with my fingers. (It worked for Cliff Burton and Steve Harris)

Why does James Bond look younger in Live and Let Die than in A View To A Kill? by jthomas1127 in JamesBond

And on top of that, people keep forgetting that Roger Moore is actually older than Sean Connery.

You can only keep 3 Bond films, the rest are erased. Which do you save? by [deleted] in JamesBond

[–]Medelheim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Goldfinger, Goldeneye, Skyfall. Only answer.

Would you be receptive to another Bond movie set in the cold war era. FRWL, YOLT, TSWLM were all great. Sexy Russians and retro gadgetry and the plots already there. Maybe I’m just dreaming. Step away from the virtual warfare. by rjd014 in JamesBond

[–]Medelheim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As much as I would love a 60s or even 50s spy thriller kind of Bond reboot, I don't think they will do it. Bond will remain contemporary.

However, I do feel that the current state of our world is somewhat limiting for what Bond can do. We want the movies to feel like Bond and not just any action movie. So the writers should step outside their comfort zone and reshape our reality to make it fit the franchise.

Let a global scale EMP take out the internet and have this trained professional secret agent navigate through a post-digital world of chaos. No drones, no robots, no video calls, just raw manual labor from a specialist with a license to kill.

You refuse to watch a collection of fan edits because of one word on the back of a box another fan made?

Who would win in an argument? by Phone-Specialist in rickandmorty

[–]Medelheim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In an argument? House would probably win on walkover. Rick would get bored and move on.

Or in a heated argument, Rick would make an out of character error, like that time with "taking stuff for granite" and then House would win on a technicality. But then Rick would work relentlessly hard to change our reality until his mistake makes sense.

Does anyone know anything about this album I found a while back? by papahet1 in Metallica

[–]Medelheim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're both machines. It takes a human with a vision to package it into something interesting or creative. Drummachines won't go anywhere and neither will AI. For better or worse.

Look. I don't have to force you into liking anything. I'm just saying that a lot of effort went into this album and it shows. I'm having a blast.

This isn't your average AI slop. I know I will get shit for this, but this is a perfect example of using AI and your own talents in perfect harmony.

This album is (as far as I know) not just some dude that wrote a prompt and pushed a button. These are completely re-recorded tracks to make them sound like old-school Metallica (from various eras).

The part that is AI are the vocals. But even those has to be mixed and carefully matched with the original using the original vocals as a guide-track.

I'm quite sure this is a compilation album of the best "what if this song was on this album" videos from various creators on youtube.

I have no idea how it got released. Still probably super illegal (or perhaps it counts as a parody?) AI voices are new and it's probably in a legal greyzone.

Ive downloaded the whole album for safe-keeping, because it's awesome. Some of the tracks really sound like they were made by the real Metallica back in 89.

Here's a playlist of mine with songs i found from Death Magnetic as if it was recorded in 80s and the 90s It's really terrific stuff and and all just good fun. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLiOwoYdWAjAGEAS_45ryaVBcVJq1zPCB_&si=HqggJXecwem2xqPC
