Music in movies

Thomas62 @Thomas62 (47) • United States 17 Oct 10

I love the music that Hans Zimmer did for K-Pax, Rain Main, The Thin Red Line and many others. Thomas Nuwman's score for American Beauty was fantastic. Any movie that Mark Isham scores is bound to be good. Music adds so much to...

Thomas62 At one time I was close to it being a part-time occupation. Then I got married, had kids and quit playing for a time. Now it is just for fun. When our kids got older, I started up again and improved my skills considerably.

What is your favourite LOOKING guitar?

X18PRS @X18PRS (114) • Canada 15 Jul 10

I own a PRS, but I have to say that my favourite looking guitar has to be the Gibson Les Paul Gold Top. Of course my PRS would definitely be a very close second!!! So, I wanna know what you guys are into! I'm hoping to learn about...

Thomas62 I own my favorite looking guitar. A two-color sunburst Stratocaster with a figured ash body and maple neck. It has that 1950's thing going, but with a three-ply pickguard. If I replaced the plastic with 50's era plastic, it would look even better.

I have been to a number of countries in different regions of the world. There are unique places in each country, some stunningly beautiful. I very much enjoy going to the beaches on some of the islands. One island I have not been...

Thomas62 My dream vacation would be to explore Norway from top to bottom, ending at Tromso, which is above the Artic Circle. Tromso is famous for having the best view of the northern lights in the world. I have not seen the northern lights in many years and would love...

Problem with Compaq Presario

Thomas62 @Thomas62 (47) • United States 26 Oct 08

It will not boot up. It gets power fine, but the battery would not recharge and it does not work without it. I did the power/static discharge and it worked for a minute. I had the Geek Squad reset the RAM chips, on Compaq's...

Shar11 @Shar11 (419) • United States 26 Oct 08

So I was contacted by an old High School classmate about a reunion they will be planning in mid 2009. It will be the first I have ever attended if I decide to go.. The idea seems really fun. I pulled out my old HS yearbook and...

Thomas62 I had a graduation class of 32 people. I have never been to a class of 1980 reunion, but I have gone to two all school reunions. I did not see too many of my classmates. I did not enjoy high school much, but it would have been nice to see a few of my old...

swarovski87 @swarovski87 (328) • Singapore 25 Oct 08

As above, is it true that teenagers prefer telling their problems to their friends instead of parents? As for me, i think its quite true that some teenagers feel that their parents do not understand them, hence they prefer telling...

Thomas62 My 14 year old would not share anything with us. But I did the same to my parents. We tell him all the time that we are here to listen, and that we went throught the same things. But to no avail. He is a good kid, so I do not worry too much.

I have a canon powershot A75 camera, and lately, the display has been wonky. The pictures are wonky. By wonky, I mean discolored and streaky, and sometimes completely distorted. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what could be...

Thomas62 Your problem may be related to an issue they had with the chip in the camera. I had a Canon A70, bought in 2003. It worked great for a few years, then starting getting error messages, and black pictures with purple stripes. This was big news years ago, as it...

Lucid Dreams - Wish I could have them more often

Thomas62 @Thomas62 (47) • United States 23 Oct 08

It is an amazing experience to have one of these. I am aware that I am dreaming and can control some things about the dream. I hear songs or people talking that seems so real. Songs, of my own, come out effortlessly. I wish I...

We are coming up on the 37th anniversary of his death. He was the best slide guitarist ever. I wish he was still around. He played the guitar effortlessly. It is hard to believe his career was only about 10 years! He packed alot...

genihanna @genihanna (358) • United States 14 Oct 08

There are some great ones - Angus Young, Ted Nugent, Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page, Eddie Van Halen, Carlos Santana, Prince, Buckethead,...but in my opinion, there is none greater and more talented than SLASH! Who would you say are the...

The Office - Is it as good as it used to be?

Thomas62 @Thomas62 (47) • United States 23 Oct 08

I think they are drifting a little. We like the show, but the last few have not impressed me much. Too many characters for one. It could be that since it is only a half hour long, they have to hurry it along. What do you think?

Rush

Thomas62 @Thomas62 (47) • United States 23 Oct 08

What do all you music listeners out there think of Rush? I am a longtime fan, going back to the first album in 1974. I have seen them on their last two tours. They put on amazing, near flawless shows. These guys are the ultimate...

Thomas62 @Thomas62 (47) • United States 23 Oct 08

This is my favorite Hendrix song at the moment. I have a number of versions by other artists, but they just can't get it like Jimi did, although a few come close. I sat down with my guitar and the sheet music and spent time...

Edge selling his prized guitars for charity.

Thomas62 @Thomas62 (47) • United States 22 Oct 08

I know this is old news, but how cool was it that Edge sold his prized white Gibson Les Paul Custom and his Gibson Explorer to fund the Music Rising project? He has a lot of guitars, but these were from the early days and were...

Who Enjoys listening to "The Band?"

We sure do. It is amazing at how good their music holds up. Many of the lesser known songs sound like they could have been released today. Levon Helm, Richard Manuel and Rick Danko had very distinctive voices. Garth Hudson was...
