yeah! rockin' out!

Yeahhh!! We Rock!!

This is awesome.

Admittedly, I feel sorry for that poor violin.

Thanks.

Yeah, it don't need to have a face to express sadness.
Why you don't adopt it, it will be in good hand.

HE'S UPDATED WITH THE TIMES!

Sadly, this is the way world works.
Otherwise we would still be using steam machines...
and the global warming would be worse too.

Those were the days....

But I always preferred the sound of the mixture of electric guitars with violins (and their larger relatives.)

Oh yeah!! those groups kickass!!!!!!!, like apocalyptica and other that I can't remember right now.

Trans Siberian Orchestra (so much nicer than trans fat), Nightwish, Sonata Arctica, this group that I like that no one ever heard of, named Dreamtale. Although these bands usually technically use a synthesizer that mimics a string orchestra. Rhapsody (now known as Rhapsody of Fire), however, has this thing about not using the cheap and easy method of using a synthesizer, preferring to have an actual orchestra accompany the band.

Wow man! I only know the half of all the groups you said. Dreamtale? I will look for them.
The real orchesta must be quite expensive.

I learned of the existence of Dreamtale through Pandora internet Radio, when I created a station that is based upon System Of A Down's Chop Suey!. It also introduced me to another power metal band called Black Majesty, which is "orchestrated" to a much lesser extent than those bands I mentioned in my previous post.

There is also something to be said about Ozzy Osbourne in this matter, as his music often involves "orchestral" (or utterly "80s"ish) synthesizer effects.

So much musical knoledge is hard to asimilate.

You are studing music or something like that?

I guess you could say that. I am by no means studying it officially. I have taken a few violin and piano lessons earlier in this decade, but I got sick of the overly structured environment and the tutors' utter lack of teaching me various music things (instead, just giving me an assignment from a book, and telling me to learn to play that piece.) :chipuni: has been teaching me various things recently, but I am completely clueless as about these things most of the time.

I had originally thought that heavy metal was a sub-genre of rock (due to various phrases like "Are you ready to rock?!" being said at a heavy metal concert, among other things), but learned that the two are so utterly and completely different when I finally decided to look up what the difference between hard rock and heavy metal are. Rock is based upon blues and/or country, while heavy metal is based upon classical music, particularly Wagner (I knew that there was a reason why I love Ozzy Osbourne and hated Black Sabbath, and why I always thought of Beethoven, Wagner, Tchaikovsky, and the like as heavy metal musicians.) This was very easy for someone such as myself to discern, because I love classical music, and hate blues. Now I don't really understand many of the technical aspects of music, but I understand that with the exception of progressive rock (which might actually be more appropriately labeled "light metal"), rock is simplistic music, tending to have an entire song that follows one rhythm and one tempo, and having that signature repeat of the song's title over and over again; while heavy metal gets much more complicated, involving tempo, rhythm, and volume shifts (going from slow and quiet to loud and quite in an instant, and then maybe switching back at some later point in the song.) But the thing that I pay the most attention to is the emotional aspects; classical (especially the Romantic era) and heavy metal have this emotionally deep, mellow-dramaticness to them (sometimes being overdramatic), while rock is more easy-going and fun-loving; rock is casual and day-to-day, while heavy metal is high-strung and once-in-a-lifetime-ish.

STEAMPUNK WORLD!

FuUCK YEAH!!!!!!!!!

That's why the electric violin was invented...

But nothing in the world takes the places of the soft sweet tunes of the king of the instruments... THE VIOLIN!!!

When I violin is deserted normaly the instrument's regret is too much than it eventualy creates a Violin spirit, a being than posseses the player to make him play like a pro, but those spirits are whimsical, sentimental, regretful and once you find them, desert 'em is not a choise...
