  1. it will never cease to amaze me that texas fans - when pointing to the shittiest football years in history - always point to mackovic instead of mcwilliams. objectively speaking, while the teams were not elite, the 94-96 teams were somewhat fun to watch. mcwilliams was way shittier. way, way shittier. like so shitty that charlie strong's teams were the only ones that were competitively as bad since ww2. even the one decent season in 90 was a complete fucking farce of unbelievably shitty opponents that miami put on full dispaly to cap things off. but because he was a texas guy (and i guess the gardere outcomes against ou), mcwilliams gets off the hook while everyone points to mackovic. to me, mcwilliams and strong are the co-presidents of the texas football makes you suicidal club. mackovic won the last swc, the first big 12, and was responsible for my favoite horn ever in ricky. mcwilliams got abused by everyone except gary gibbs. sorry for football'ing (the single shittiest board on this site - kind of like mcwilliams) the cr. just needed to say that.
  2. for sure he's played it a billion times live but even for him, i suspect it takes a little practicing to get it nailed. if you watch closely in the video i posted, he looks extremely focused and is rocking back and forth to keep his tempo (he never really looked like that the rest of the show...he just walked around the stage completely loose and chill like it was a rock concert) because, as i figured out when i learned to play that riff, that 8th dot delay can really screw up your perceived tempo as you get deeper into it despite the left hand being extremely simple and the right hand not being too terrible. but then again, i'm me and he's edge so yeah...you're likely right.
  3. I think the Rattle and Hum tour was the best they ever did with it live but it was pretty solid at the sphere a couple of years ago. My seats were last minute so not great but still gives a good idea. I wonder how long Edge has to re-rehearse the riff to get back up to speed whenever they go out IMG_5685.mov eta: actually, i just remembered the super bowl halftime show right after 9/11 where they did mlk right into it...that was pretty fucking amazing.
  4. i'll be honest, i looked them up to see if there songs were all protest songs against bushy cooch. it was even worse than that. holy shit, what a shitty lords of acid ripoff.
  5. and of course, very few songs throw their dick on the table with a bang after a crazy sonice start like sledgehammer.
  6. lots of good ones in here already...some of my favorites that have not yet been mentioned.
  7. While your point is 100% valid and applies you at least 90% of Texans (I.e., idiots), bateshorn lives in Maryland or Virginia. though given his career, I still find it surprising he’s not that familiar with Paxton’s general awfulness given the national profile he’s tried to cultivate in being on the vanguard of the race to the bottom.
  8. this isn't really the right thread for it (there is no such thing on this site) but over the last few months, due to a lack of creativity on the original songwriting front, i worked on my production and post-production skills doing some HZ mockups from ear. i did one for time from inception, a suite from interstellar, a track from the dark knight rises, and a small section of the pirates of the carribean suite. all done from scratch with midi with a few exceptions (i recorded acoustic and electric guitar for the end of the inception mockup as well as interspersed in the pirates mockup). anyway, not my music to share but my production and they were really fun to make.
  9. there seems to be some significant confusion as to the sonic profile of the oboe in this thread and the prominence of its use in the inception score/cues.
  10. however, it unfortunately won't make fsd or robotaxi work.
  11. i had not read the thread of the rains thread in quite some time but saw the series of exchanges in this thread and thought they were simply strange. after going back and reading the separate thread of the rains through the weekend and seeing how emotionally he was pushing back on the notion that the camps were not sufficiently monitoring the conditions through the night given the proximity to the river from the absolute get-go, he clearly has more than just a passing interest in this notion.
