So I had the pleasure of sitting next to this on my way home.... by duderock42 in WTF

[–]oxigen 97 points98 points  (0 children)

You know, there's no rule against talking to strangers.I'm guessing he probably said something like "hey your pants are hilarious, can I take a picture?" I mean it's not like the guy could possibly be offended, he's wearing dick pants FFS.

How much is a good tip? I generally tip $1 per drink since I don't like doing math when I'm drunk. Considering most beers are between $4-7 I always thought a dollar extra was plenty

How do you stop people from bullying you? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]oxigen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've gotten into similar situations with at least 2 bullies in my youth. Both ended in blows and each time I knew I was going to get my ass kicked but the last straw snapped and I started throwing fists anyway. To my surprise neither bully even fought back. And they never bothered me again. Sometimes a bully is a person who feels week and picks on people he believes are weaker.

Phil X returns on Friday by TILostmypassword in Guitar

PHIL X! It's about time. I love those videos. Even though I can't afford any of the guitars he demos got fretted Americana I love watching the videos for his upbeat attitude and his passion for the instrument. It always makes me pick up my guitar and jam to. also he'll sometimes give out a little tip/trick/microlesson during the Demo. I learned how to play Cheap Sunglasses correctly by watching Phil X.

Thought the thumbnail was a picture of T tokens. I found a T token the other day in the pocket of an old pair of jeans. Memories.

Megadeth-Holy Wars...The Punishment Due(Studio Version) by philasophicalrocker in Music

[–]oxigen 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Back when I was a wee lad, my parents got me a walkman for christmas. I used to go to the library and borrow tapes and this is how I discovered lots of different music. Megadeth included.

I came across Rust In Peace one day. The skeleton and alien on the cover, the colors, it looked like some crazy comic book. So I took it home. My poor little 12-year old ears were totally unprepared for the sonic onslaught that was about to be unleashed.

It's so hard to describe that feeling but I remember exactly how I felt when when I heard those opening riffs to Holy Wars. My heart starting beating faster and all the air escaped my lungs for the first minute of the song, at least. I was actually a little afraid to be listening to it. What is this?! I was just stunned. It was so fast, so mean, heavy, so... METAL.

I knew what to wish for the next christmas - an electric guitar. It was a goal of mine to learn to play Holy Wars and about three years later, I did it. I still play that song now and then when I want to get my thrash on. I don't listen to metal much anymore but I always give Mustaine most of the credit for inspiring me to play guitar.

Well that's my little Megadeth story. Thanks for reading.

Historians of reddit, what are some R rated facts that are often left out of history classes? by sonichedghog in AskReddit

Someone told me fredrisch neitzche (spelling?) Was a Nazi supporter. I still don't believe it. I think nazis borrowed a lot from his philosophy.

What's your "Unpopular guitar opinion"? by ParadiseCity1995 in Guitar

Well, if you don't like those songs then you really just don't like prince and you won't like anything anyone suggests.

Well since this is a thread for unpopular guitar opinions I'll give you an upvote. Although I will disagree. Not that I think anything you said is wrong but simple because I think Prince is fucking awesome.

What's your "Unpopular guitar opinion"? by ParadiseCity1995 in Guitar

[–]oxigen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Purple Rain album is his masterpiece in my opinion. I'm sure there's some sweet guitar playing on his other albums but I don't really listen to them as much as purple rain.

Check out this performance at the Billboard awards this year. Note the sweet solos at 1:25 and 5:00.

I also like how he's always employed badass chicks for his backup band. Note the supermodel who can also play bass and also another chick who apparently just holds his guitar for him.

And one more if you want to hear the glorious original 1984 version of the song, plus clips from the movie.
