Appropriately Scary
Warning: Adult Language within the video in this post
Found the video below through an article, but before I send you to the article, the name of the band mentioned within the article has adult language. There.

Br00tal
METALLICA's "Blackened" Done As A MESHUGGAH Song Is Br00tal
It is definitely brutal. This is a version of "Moth Into Flame," which I like too.

Jazzy Enter
Not sure how I feel about this cover, which I read about here.
Former KISS guitarist, Bruce Kulick, plays guitar on the album.

Banging the Drums Because I'm Not Really Banging My Drums
I miss playing in a band.
I long to have my acoustic set up like Aaron Spears. I'm not a fan of the Usher tune itself, but I am a fan of Spears' drumming. By having a second hi-hat by the floor tom, he can play open style and doesn't have to play crossed stick.
Either watch the entire video below (highly recommended!) or jump to here
Certainly, he's not the only drummer to play like that.
The following would be challenging and fun to figure out.
There's a story on Blabbermouth.net about Adler's involvement with the G-n-R reunion.
Red Sun Rising is slowly creeping up to Count the Stars, Bayside, and Metallica status.
Halestorm released an EP of cover songs. When I hear these covers, I'm smiling.

The following would be challenging and fun to figure out.
- Can you call yourself a guitarist if you don't know how to play chords? Can I call myself a drummer if I cannot play the 40 Drum Rudiments?
- Anika Nilles is a phenomenal drummer. This groove is tasty!
- The Gloria tune we play at Mass is in 6/8. Maybe I can work this lick in...

- This is an underrated great ROCK song.
- This is my personal all-time favorite Soundgarden tune.
- I was never a huge fan of this tune until I heard Metallica play it in Moline, IL.
- Personally, I wouldn't want to play this tune in a band. Sure, getting the parts down would make it a tune I would be challenged to learn. The reason I wouldn't want to play it is the same reason Metallica doesn't have affection for the complex tunes on And Justice for All, which is that they have to think about what they are playing instead of grooving to what they are playing.
- Given the above, I wanted to hear what they could do live - if they could pull it off. Judge for yourself!

Polka Metal and Eric Clapton
"I want to know what it sounds like if metal songs are played like polkas" said no heavy metal fan ever.
This was the first one I watched.
I've heard a polka version of "For Whom the Bell Tolls" but not "Sandman" so this was interesting.
Tackling one of Van Halen's classics was an interesting choice. Would have liked to hear the accordion version
How could they take on Ozzy Osbourne? Very interestingly.
Megadeth? Wow.
Another take on an Iron Maiden classic.
Eric Clapton may be considered by some to be "God" (referring to the "Clapton is God" signs I've seen), but if that's true, this would make him smile. I hope. I know the other videos on this page are metal and that Eric Clapton is not.

New Way to Hear Metallica
I am a Metallica fan. One of the things I really enjoy is hearing other interpretations
of their music. I think Metallica, as a group, has composed great music. I think this German group has taken "Enter Sandman" and "The Unforgiven" and tweaked them enough to make it worth listening to. Again and again.

Work and Bells and 5 Minutes Alone
We are leaving for Elkader after work tomorrow. Not sure when I'll sit in front of this PC.
I got sucked into reading what I wrote about five large projects at work. I thought enough time had passed that I could give an update on them, since they were important enough to write about back then.
Project A is a huge change that has to do with how our clients process something. We have to be certified by someone and then, after we deliver the software to our clients, the clients need to be audited and certified. The way this has to work is that it has to arrive on 3/12 (that Friday). Selfishly, that week (3/15) is going to be a very busy week at work. The timeline for testing and documenting the changes to the system have a two week window. There are consultants involved so it will be very important that everyone stays on-time.
As of 7/29/2010, this has been released to our clients. There are minor issues that creep in occasionally, but overall, this was a successful project.
Project B means a lot of work for me. It involves buckling down and writing some content that I have been procrastinating. It is not that the content is difficult to write - I think I could bang it out in a day - it's that I think it's overview material, about something stupid that no one is going to read. It's content that should be covered in a training class but since we don't really do training classes like we used to - clients seem to magically end up with a new system on their PCs - I understand I need to write the content. There is also a lot of project B that I need to write in other areas, besides the aforementioned overview. I am comfortable with where I am, but there are holes I need to fill in.
As of 7/29/2010, this project was delayed a software release. It is scheduled to go out soon. I finished the work I had put off and, actually, wrote that content in a morning. It went a lot better than I thought it was going to go.
Project C involves doing the user interface work I do and making records that display in pink display, well, in pink. If you imagine a floor with a carpet. The programmers code the floor and I design the carpet that everyone sees. I don't know if that really makes sense or not. I had to submit a call report to the software vendor that makes the "carpet" because the obvious ways to make the records display in pink did not work.
This turned out to be a fairly simple change. I got on the phone with the software vendor and worked it out.
Project D is also a user interface project. When you are in Add mode, F16 should never be enabled. However, if I set it up where F16 is disabled in Add mode, it is disabled in Change mode as well. I tried all the obvious, and not so obvious, things I know how to do but it didn't seem to work. I asked for a call from the vendor and I need to get that resolved.
This was something that I was able to work through as well. Same software vendor customer support person helped me.
Project E is a huge change to one of our systems. Not only are there going to be UI changes - the carpet - but there will also be a lot of documentation changes. I've come to the conclusion that while it is not scheduled for release until the April/May timeframe, I cannot delay working on it until then. This area of the system continually has smaller changes but this is a larger one. I am hoping my co-worker is available to take some of the documentation work off my plate. However, I know that she is busy too so that's kind of an on-going storyline.
As of 7/29/2010, if I remember exactly what I was thinking about when I wrote the above, the scope of the project narrowed and it is not nearly as big of a nightmare as I originally feared it would be.
