Where are you again Horse? I have two friends at HPU and they abhor the Honolulu bus system.

They're sober enough to notice it's flaws?

Most people that hate the bus either came from somewhere that had a better mass transit system or were used to driving everywhere.

Yeah, I figured that much. Public transport just isn't that interesting to talk about though sO I hoped to derail this to something more interesting.

Guru has deep wisdom.

<3 Alice Cooper. He's probably the best lyricist ever.
And I don't see a GnR reunion happening until Axl stops being ****** up in the head.



Oh, and do you have Slash's solo album?

Subways in Brazil are mostly non-existant. The cities where they do exist, like Rio and Sao Paulo, they are almost always late and hideously full. I mean, in Sao Paulo you can go to most places in the main areas, but you cant go to most of the city. In Rio, you can go to just a few places. In all other cities, Subway is pretty much non-existant.
And then, we have busses. They are awfull. We do have bus to everywhere and anywhere you might want to go, but they are noisy, smelly, dirty and usually full of people standing because the bus is full. Oh, and there isnt something like planned time. You just wait in a bus stop and hope for the bus you are waiting to not take too long to get in there. But there isn't a way to know when they are coming. It might take 1 minute, it might take 30, it might even take more than an hour. And there's no way to know that.

Oh, well, 3rd world country and all that.

Changing the subject, I bought a bunch of books at the Warhammer World. Already read one of them:

http://www.amazon.com/Ultramarines-Omnibus-Warhammer-40-000/dp/1844164039

It's pretty good, pretty well written. Really liked it.
I'll probably read one of these 2 now:
http://www.amazon.com/Space-Wolf-Omnibus-Spacewolf-Warhammer/dp/1844164578/ref=sr_1_14?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1304538717&sr=1-14

http://www.amazon.com/Grey-Knights-Omnibus-Warhammer-40000/dp/184416697X/ref=sr_1_21?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1304538717&sr=1-21

I bought some others besides these, I think it will take me around 3 months to read them all.

Back on the subject of music, I just came across a Miley Cyrus remake of "Smells Like Teen Spirit." It was everything I was expecting it to be.

I really like the song with Fergie, she sucks as a hiphop artist but her voice works really well with some mean guitars. I have to give props to Slash for seeing that in her.
The songs with Ozzy, Alice Cooper, Lemmy, Beth Hart and Iggy are awesome as well. All in all I think the album does an amazing job of showing just how important Slash was to GnR.

And I personally just can't stand A7x, I'd dislike them for writing their bandname like that but the music doesn't do anything for me either, the nicknames are worse than those of most black metallers (And that's saying something) and the whole band seems to be more about how they look than the music. Oh, and M. Shadows sounds whiny and annoying.

David Gilmour is brilliant and Pink Floyd have made some of the greatest albums known to man. (Wish You Were Here <3)


Edit: Rio, you're wrong about Slash, his solo album proves that he knows how to write great songs and the guitars are great in each song on that album. Although I do rate Mikael Ã…kerfeldt higher because I'm a total Opeth fanboy and because his style of playing is original and innovative and he can switch between calm and full on death metal so easily.

Edit2: Protein, link please. I've once heard a french cover of smells like teen spirit (It was worse than you think it could be) and I want to know if this version is as bad as that.
On the note of bad covers, who was it again that covered Metallica's Nothing Else Matters and made it even softer and weaker than it already was?

Edit3: 15151 posts, yay.

I found it here.

On the music subject, I like John Frusciante. IMO he's one of the best out there.
