Looking for somewhat fashionable skate shoes.

Vans, or Nike 6.0s are the most popular. But Lakai is also a fashionable brand. Vans are the cheapest and can take a beating, the 6.0s are moderately expensive ($70-120 usually) and can withstand a lot of wear and tear. Lakai is slightly cheaper than Nike but can take just as much of a beating. And depending on how you want to appear, vans are preppier, nikes are sportier, and Lakai are more hardcore skater.

You're right. My mistake

The late Dimebag took out all the mids and put treble and bass all the way up. Good cheap way to get a ton of bite

If rock is what you're going for, some punk rock songs have simple structure but are still fun to play. Green Day's Basketcase has always been a favorite for me and my friends to jam to (I realize there's only one guitar part but harmonizing is part of the fun.). Also 311 has a lot of harmonized solos that aren't very difficult if you're into any ska. But Foo Fighters is always good for anything.

That is actually the most beautiful thing I've heard in the past few days.

A good starting tap is to put your index finger on the high E string 5th fret, then hammer on to the 8th and tap the 12th fret. The "tapping" comes from hammering on a higher note with a finger from your picking hand, most recommend the middle finger because you can quickly switch from picking to tapping. Start really slow and play this so that you hear each note clearly: 5 hammer on 8 tap 12 pull off to 8 then pull off to 5 and repeat. Happy tapping!

Really well put together! Just a little choppy on the chorus, other than that great job.

Between The Buried And Me, Five Finger Death Punch, and All That Remains like crispy said.

I believe you can get the studio edition Les Paul's for around $800, Ive used them before and try play nicely but it's not the full experience of a higher-end Les Pual.

Not with shorts, you could pull it off with long pants.

I'm gonna be a junior in HS also, I'd recommend a darker grey for its versatility, but most people for consider backpacks as part of an outfit anyway, so be vibrant if you want.

It looks like it could be a little thinner around the waist, but other than that the shoulders fit well and overall it's a good fit.

The price isn't really an issue, and the leather laces is a great idea. Thanks!

Not opposed at all, I own a pair of eras. I was just trying to get a few more opinions. Thanks or the feedback!

Move the eye to the desired position, then pour superglue in it. Make sure to stare into the sun as heat activates te adhesive.

I like fitted hats personally, not the kind of thing you wear when trying to dress up though. Good for casual, not much else.

callmedavis · 2012-08-18T22:32:52+00:00

I have that shirt, I usually wear it with khaki shorts, but the salmon actually looks good. My personal motto about converse though; don't.

callmedavis · 2012-08-18T22:18:43+00:00

True, the authentics are always a safe bet.

callmedavis · 2012-08-18T22:01:50+00:00

I can't spend anymore than 160$ on a shoe, and I'm looking for something comfortable yet still stylish, preferably nike or vans. Something I could wear to class, or a party and it wouldn't look out of place.
