Yesterday (June 18, 2010) I saw this Comedy Central Presents with this great comedian. However I forgot his name. It played somewhere between 7:00 and 10:00 ( I live in Salt Lake City so time zones change). However I remember him starting his stand-up with jokes about "sike" like in elementary school, then he did some stuff that ended with "like a vagina!!" and he then proceeded to do some "weird jokes" cuz he said the audience liked those haha. It was pretty funny n not only did I not finish watching it but I also wanted to look at some of his other stuff. He was caucasian. Short hair almost bald, beard. That's all I know. And it was right after Tosh.O

I was born in April of 1994 so I can't figure out if I'm in Generation Y or Generation Z. Does anybody know ?

OK so Rock came out of the Blues and Metal came out of Rock. If you want to play rock or hard rock ( Led Zeppelin, GNR,) you learn the Blues scale and the Pentatonic scale. I've heard that for playing metal a lot of guitarists learn classical ( Randy Rhoads for example ). I've never fully learned the Blues or Pentatonic but since I'm not in school during the summer that's what I'm going to do. I also want to be a better I'm learning harder songs like "Mr. Crowley" and other stuff. I want to get really good at soloing at metal so would I need to get a book on Classical Guitar or learn specific scales? What should I do to improve ?

OK so I have this Line 6 Spider III. I have 2 electrics, an Epiphone Les Paul Special II and a Fender Strat. When I use my Epiphone I don't get any Hum but when I use my Strat I do. It sound exactly like the Mains Hum on Wikipedia, the 60 Hz Mains Hum. I have a TV and a computer in my room but like I said it doesn't happen when I use my Epiphone. Is it my amp or my guitar? If so what's wrong with them?

I got my ears pierced for my B-Day ( just the left lobe ) and the lady told me that I needed to put this After Piercing Lotion on it twice daily so Saturday night ( April 25 ) I went to do that. So I took the ear piercing out. I'm not sure that I was supposed to because it just says to rub the lotion on both sides of lobe and slide piercing post back and forth daily. Now I can't get it back in!! Was I supposed to take it out? What should I do ?

I got a Strat and originally I wanted to buy an Epiphone Les Paul Custom and putting a Floyd Rose on that but I think it'd be easier to put one on a Strat plus that way I wouldn't have to buy another guitar. So how much do you think it would cost??

I'm trying to start a band but whenever I feel like starting one I don't know what kind of music I want to play. I'm influenced by a lot of artist and genres so I can't decide. Here's the ones that I've been thinking..

Hard Rock/Heavy Metal ( Led Zeppelin, GNR, Ozzy Osbourne )

or

Alternative ( Pearl Jam, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Nirvana )

what should I do ??

Hey I got Physical Graffiti and I was listening to it and I LOVE THE ROVER it's got a cool guitar riff/solo and the chorus is amazing! What are some other cool songs by Zeppelin that aren't known that well like The Rover?

Hey I'm looking for heavy songs by Aerosmith like

Nobody's Fault

Walk This Way

Last Child

Same Old Song and Dance

Sweet Emotion

Kings and Queens

Train-Kept-A-Rolliing

mostly for listening pleasures or maybe to do a cover of it...Thanks

I just started playing drums and I play mainly rock and some jazz but today after playing for some time at school my head is THROBBING!! I could tell it was the drums because when I stopped playing it stayed the same and every time I played my head would just throb ( with rhythm I might add) and so yeah.. What can I do to be able to play drums and not get headaches or What's the problem, Will my ears get used to it?

I'm trying to find some good songs/ bands for a Grunge mix CD that i'm making. So far I've got

Nirvana

Pearl Jam

Alice In Chains

Soundgarden

Mother Love Bone

So could you guys give me some more bands or songs which you think were important to the Grunge scene that I should include in my CD

Im looking for some cool songs by Priest because I got into them a while ago but haven't listened to them in a while except for the stuff I had just gotten into by them like..

Breaking the Law

Livin' After Midnight

Electric Eye

You Got A Another Thing Comin'

so please tell me some cool songs

I'm deciding whether I should get some humbuckers for my strat to get a cool sound or if there is a way to get rid of the humming kind of sound that happens when you play with the neck, middle or bridge pick-ups. Does anyone know how to get rid of that sound? or do I have to go get some humbuckers?

I love hard rock and heavy metal so lately I've been trying to write guitar riffs, and lyrics for my band. I'm completely stuck on guitar riffs so I need lots of help on that. I've kinda been working on lyrics although I have nothing written down but I have some ideas, but could you guys give me some topics that might be good for hard rock or heavy metal. Heck give me some stuff that maybe you've thought of even if you're not a musician and I'll write the song.

Well I've been playing guitar for about 2 yrs. or so and I have a Fender Strat, an Epiphone Special II, and acoustic. I wasn't really playing my Les Paul until the begining of Christmas Break because we all took our instruments home from Jazz Band. Since that guitar was at school I wasn't playing it a whole lot like I do at home with my Strat. But I started to play it and realized that the Les Paul sounds better with my amp and it has 22 frets instead of 21. The only thing that is wrong with it is it doesn't have a whammy bar and its kinda hard to tune and stuff. But I love the humbucker sound. Should I just get my strat with humbuckers or Seymour Duncan P-Rails or try to find a guitar that plays and sounds like a Les Paul with a whammy bar?

PS If you guys know a guitar that sounds like a Les Paul but has a whammy bar or more frets please mention them.

I don't really listen to a lot of neoclassical or stuff like Yngwie ( except for Randy Rhoads if you consider him neoclassical) but I got interested in Paul Gilbert. Could you guys tell me some cool songs by him or any other guitarists like him?

Hey at my school we are going to play "Free Bird" and I'm going to take the solo but I had a question on how I could make the solo my own by improvising and playing my own stuff instead of copying Lynyrd Skynyrd. How could I do that? Maybe using scales....? Please help.

I'm trying to learn the "Afterlife" solo by A7X and I suck at sweep picking does anyone know any tips, videos or lessons that will help me? Maybe I'm just not doing the hand movement right?... HELP

OK I'm starting to write songs because I'm starting a band. We play mostly thrash, heavy metal and hard rock. But I've heard that for writing guitar solos it's a good idea to use a specific scale. How do I know what scale to use if I don't know the key? Better yet how do I know the key? Because I don't worry about the key when writing a song.

I have a friend who plays guitar for my band, we're best friends and hang out all the time. We both have long hair and so since people call us gay all the time because of our hair we freak all the homophobes out by pretending to be gay. It's pretty funny to watch them react to like him giving me a hug or something. However he always writes stuff on his hands and arms which I have no problem with but the other day he drew the Nazi sign on his arm and when I asked why he had it because he's not a Nazi he says that his great-grandfather was from Germany and was a Nazi ( I think ). He said he's not a Nazi but he says that he wears it with pride because his great-grandfather was a Nazi and he likes to freak people out like we do when we act gay. I don't think he should be showing it around trying to scare people or drawing it if he's not a Nazi and even if he was I still wouldn't think he should do that. How do I tell him without him getting mad at me ? Because he's my best friend.

PS By the way I'm not a homophobe and I have friends who are gay and lesbian and bisexual.
