I know why you all hate me now...

You're jealous because I'm possibly related to Leif Erikson.
Damn right. My last name (Ruane) apparently means 'Red' In several languages. Leif's father's title was
'Red' Erik the Red. (Viking titles usually spawn from the fathers first name.)

That would be kinda cool. I'm also Irish, and apparently Leif breeded with people in Ireland, and neighboring countries.

Anyways, I was explaining to ignorant people (is it a coincidence that they were all conservatives also...hmmm) about politics. They didn't even know what the political spectrum was. They haven't even heard of Stalin, or Mussolini or any other famous figures of government.

Also another reason you need to be jealous: I was born on the same day as Mussolini. July 29th. Put that up you ass and digest it through your mouth.

I also saw the Grammy's last night. It sucked until blink-182 announced there revival. (I already knew they were going to due to UltimateGuitar.com) Then It sucked again until Paul McCartney and his band played. But there was a twist. Dave Grohl was the drummer.!!!!

It was so awesome, but The drums were overpowered by the other instruments, but it was still extremely good.
But after that I went to bed, seeing as how everything else would have sucked.

Also: to all Guitarists who read this, what's your favorite chord?

Mine is Asus2

Lief Eriksson pwns, I am actually distantly related to him.
Yes, that is a confirmed fact.

I didn't even bother with the Grammy's; I knew there would be a lot of ass kissing towards Metallica, (even though they suck now) and Coldplay.

Paul McCartney? Bah. After Wings, he came out with all that annoying solo crap that merged house music, pop, and rock. His solo career has to be one of the worst I know.

Lol, favorite chord? Do you really care or did you want your blog to take up space? Mine has to be the good ole E chord, tuned 2 1/2 steps down.
SLUDGY.

Didn't see much Metallica, Just Coldplay,

Also, The favorite chord part only took up 3 lines (well two, with a skipped line) of course I care...*eyes dart around the room*

So you like the Low-Low B chord? I've never tuned my guitar that low, lowest I've gone was drop C tuning

TheSilverGuitar 2009-02-09 16:09:06

The lowest I've gone was B-E-A-D-G-B.

Yeah, it was like having a 7 stringer, without the high E.

ChickenGod 2009-02-09 16:09:06

Your strings must have been murdered when/if you re-tuned it.

TheSilverGuitar 2009-02-09 16:40:20

...Re-tuned it?

Also, I've always loved how those "sus" chords remind me of Jesus.
Now, to get a note named "Je....."

ChickenGod 2009-02-09 16:40:20

Well...Je means 'I' as in 'I am' in French. So if we created some way to get an 'I' chord, when in France, It be called a Jesus chord.

Or not...

Band on the Run is the only good post-Beatles album McCartney has made.

My favourite chord is C# maj 7. Just a beautiful chord.

I play that chord a different way. But I think that could be minor 7. That one sounds pretty cool

RedStripedd 2009-02-10 00:54:21

And E7 sus 4 played like 0-2-2-2-3-X is pretty nice as well.

ChickenGod 2009-02-10 00:54:21

I like the Csharp major 7 one better

TheSilverGuitar 2009-02-10 18:26:05

Dave Grohl is a better drummer than he is singer and/or guitarist.

ChickenGod 2009-02-10 18:26:05

True to that, though it is debatable if he is a better songwriter. I think Kurt was a better songwriter. But I could understand if somebody said that Dave was a better songwriter.
