Man that's cool stuff. You should really go see Stonehenge at least once in your life haha. Its truly amazing. My next trip overseas, I plan to stay for 2 weeks. Gotta see the pyramids again too!

And that Mayan temples in Mexico. I noticed you had your signature about the Mayan calendar. If you like that stuff, DEFINITELY visit the ancient temples bro. You'll love it.

I have friends who live in Marlborough County, and my parents, brother and sister have gone several times to visit. Next year, I'm going back to Ireland, then later in the year I'll be in Germany for my two 2 week vacations respectively...

Hell yea, while you're in Germany you should go to Munich for Oktoberfest in the fall!! Tons of people and good brew haha.

[Motorola Atrix 2] Apex:
That's kind of what I was thinking, but I have to plan everything way in advance. I've already started getting together the details of my Ireland trip -airfare booked, car rental, train, where I'm staying, booked an appointment at Snakebite in Dublin for more tattoo ink work, etc. Still haven't begun planning Germany yet, but Oktoberfest is what I'm leaning toward...

[Motorola Atrix 2] Axis_Drummer:
Haha aw yea.. INK! Awesome man. And yea I may have to plan for Oktoberfest myself. Especially now that you've posted that pic, its spot on. Beer and Babes.. Exactly ;)

Also, is Snakebite in Dublin a good place? I love getting tatts from all over. I'm interested in this place now.

Sent from my MB865 running a beastly CM10
[Motorola Atrix 2] Apex:
Yeah man, Snakebite is great and the folks there are very cool. I got this one in March, do forgive the fresh photo. I emailed several shops in Dublin last year, and Snakebite (Rob/Sean) were the only ones who emailed back with any real interest in wanting to make sure we could fit in a session and they took time to draw this design up for me. Huge selling point when folks take time for their customers...

U know, i used to have a Motorola defy for which i joined a community on fb which currently have like 600+ with devs from xda(for defy ofcourse) as opposed to 50 person since i joined which is quite amazing!! Helping newbs to use their device to max and what not

Dude that tattoo is badass. I like the color choice. Very good.

They are very addicting. Just hate going back for touch ups since I only get the artist who did the work to touch it up haha.

And thanks for the reference to Snakebite man, sounds like a good place. I'll definitely be looking in to getting something done there. :thumbup:

[Motorola Atrix 2] Apex:
Man, I'm the same way! I only want Sean from Snakebite to do the work, seeing as there's a couple of spots (nobody would ever notice, but damn I'm a perfectionist) that need a going over. So, I only want the same artist to work on his work, that only makes good sense, right? :thumbup:

Have you ever been to Ireland? It is absolutely amazing there. I've got some killer shots from this year's trip, I could PM you the link, if you're interested. It's a Shutterfly page (long url) and I'd have to pull it up on my laptop -can't remember the url... :p

Killer drum kit man! I play any style, limited effects, only using a BBE Sonic Maximizer for shape, and big on tones - warm, punchy, crisp high ends and deep lows. I've been in many bands myself, none as successful as to find ourselves touring overseas. That's awesome you have though, I am a bit jealous! ;)

Sent from my Atari Falcon 030
[Motorola Atrix 2] Axis_Drummer:
Thanks man. Its my pride and joy haha.

And that's awesome, just from what you said, I can tell you're a good bass player. Gotta have crisp tones with phat lows Lol its the only way to go. And dude, it takes so much practice that being in a band, for me, is very very hard work (Death Metal). Especially once we got put on a label and signed under Outerloop Management. Got hectic and I was always on the road. So time consuming its not even funny haha.

I love playing, and been into music since I was a kid. My brother is really into death metal, math rock, progressive rock/metal, etc. I get a lot of his music he burns for me and sends from Denver. So, you must be into High On Fire, Behemoth, Mastodon, right? I'm into a lot of punk, like The Plot To Blow Up The Eiffel Tower, D.R.I., Dead Kennedys, etc. I listen to all types of music, except 'gangsta rap' and Top 40 crap... :D

Sent from my Atari Falcon 030
[Motorola Atrix 2] Axis_Drummer:
Yea Behemoth is good. Mastodon is more just metal/ rockish, and high on fire is alright ha. I'm more into Viking metal (ex. Amon Amarth) and 'opera metal' (ex. Opera Diabolicus) but I only like to play tech/death metal such as The Faceless and Cannibal Corpse. I also like playing solo to some jazz Lol you can get real crazy with time signatures and have a blast with it.

And oh yea, punk rock is good for learning/practicing speed. Played a little myself when I first got started on drums.

Haha yea I've heard of them. I've played with them at The Masquerade here in Atlanta, GA. I've also shared the stage with bands like CC, The Black Dahlia Murder, Suicide Silence, NILE, Hatebreed etc..

I've had a hell of a career in music. Got to do some great things.

By the way, I know you said you don't listen to 'gangsta rap' Lol, and neither do I, but you should look up Tech N9ne - Worldwide Choppers on YouTube. I was completely baffled by how fast they are.

Man, that's awesome you've had such success with your music! I envy that. It was always a dream of mine to make a career in music, but it just didn't turn out that way. Now it's merely a hobby that I'm fairly good at. Also, I do love old school hip-hop, not the junk that's considered to be as such now. I'll check out those guys.

[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
Actually, I am not a musician by trade. I used to work and own a studio for my main job, but then when all studios in Dallas started to fail, I went into computers to pay the bills, so the studio thing now, only pays for itself (I buy gear with the money it brings in).

I am actually a UNIX&Linux Infrastructure Architect and I own my own consulting business and AT&T is my customer. At one point I actually worked for Sun Microsystems.
[Motorola Atrix 2] deveshmanish:
Cool.I too am having a crisis.I'm actually studying electronics right now but i have keen interest in programming so can't really decide whether to dump this study go for my passion or get settled first and then pursue this field.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Apex:
I'd suggest pursuing what you truly would like to do, and not just settle on something for now. Before you know it, you'll look up years later from now and kick yourself for not doing what you hoped to be at that time, by starting much sooner. Take it from me, starting college all over again at my age is a giant PIA, especially while working full time, traveling, all of life's other stuff going on, and trying to learn something new. It's easier at a younger age, before life takes you over...

If you like programming, start by taking a few elective type courses in it, and see if you still really like it. Electronics is still important and understanding a digital circuit is still important. I took electronics and circuit engineering courses for both by Audio engineering and Computer Science degrees. I did a dual major in college I got a BS in Audio engineering & commercial music, and A BS in Computer Science.

I will tell you to go for your first love, but have something to fall back on just in case....

I planned for the future knowing what the music industry was like, and the fact that my Dad was a computer Mainframe engineer and VP, then CEO, I learned computers from a very early age.

Always shoot for the stars, and set yourself a net just in case. Computers and programming is a hard choice, it starts with long hours and low pay while you get better and grow through the ranks, and a lot of people drop out. I have seen some very talented people drop out or burn out and do something else. I am not trying to turn you off. I actually love what I do, and I personally did not mind working 64 hours straight to get a crashed datacenter back up after a power loss, when I was younger, or spending 36 hours getting a server back after a crash a getting all the data back all without having to do a restore.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Axis_Drummer:
Hell yea Jim! I knew you'd pop in for a visit. Nice board man, I too have had my own studio. Can you say EXPENSIVE.. Lol

But that's awesome man, I can't wait to see the updated pics of your studio. You actually recording any bands or?

Edit: also Jim, I posted some songs in Apex's thread. You should check it out when you've got some time. It was recorded in Ohio, but when the new stuff is out, I'll be posting a song for you guys. Newest stuff was recorded at Audiohammer studios in Sanford, FL.
