Re: What grinds your gears?

Anybody ever feel like they're being set up to fail at their job sometimes? Not in a malicious way or anything...just apathy to the nth degree from bosses until something's "on fire" and must finally be dealt with or complications that seemingly arise into a perfect storm of obstacles. So...

Re: The Fitness Thread

I had a beam at home in the basement that I could work up to so didn't have that problem. My friend put a chin up bar in his door frame, good but not enough clearance at the top for a full muscle up. It got him strong and confident enough that he started doing them at the park or gym though. It's am...

Re: The Fitness Thread

I used Pavel's "ladder" principles over 2 years. I started with just pullups for the first 8 months then to muscle ups and gradually built up the reps. GTG (grease the groove) really works well for me.

Re: The Fitness Thread

Dunno why we call it that but it's basically a pull up (chin up with palms faced out) then keeping pulling up until I'm over the bar with arms extended, then come back down.


Easier to explain through a pic:

As soon as Tyreese started talking about life etc it didn't bode well.

Re: AB V

I'm the other way around, I'm looking forward to Myle's solo but AB V first. Looks like Tremonti will actually be first however, not complaining though! Love it.

Re: Slip to the Void

I guess if the animation was original then people might like it more but I'm not a gamer so without any reference I liked it as I'd always wanted to see a video for this song, it rocks! It's also better than the official "Isolation" video in my opinion! Wow HappyHogJens if that's the scene...

Re: True Words From Cristina Scabbia

Great to hear, Myles seems like a genuine guy. Also confirmed by Duff: Myles Kennedy came in to sing, and the dude has class and a ton of respect and humility. I like those qualities in a guy. Humbleness can let real inner strength breathe. http://pitriff.com/news/158-duff-mckagan-talks-hall-of-fame

Loved it but I feel they ended on a good note. I like the Australian version too but not as much.

Re: AB V

When I first saw this thread I thought that a new album had been released without me knowing it. Don't give me a heart attack guys! Anyway, I'm glad to hear that one is on it's way even if it's a long as next year. In the meantime I really wish that the "Live in Milan" was out to ease the ...

Re: Live in Milan

Does anyone know if the "Live In Milan" DVD has officially been canned or just delayed? I'd love to see it.
