- I agree wrt "best" music being subjective. If one likes the galloping rhythm, then "Children of the Grave" on Master of Reality by Black Sabbath does it earlier than anything by Iron Maiden.09-28-2016 03:03 AMLike 0
- To Rose640, you might not have known, but Tony Iommi created a heavy sound unintentionally. He downtuned his guitar, since he had an easier time time playing it downtuned. He lost the tips of the fingers on his right hand (he's left handed) in an industrial accident as a teenager. That downtuned guitar, plus the necessary downtuned bass by Geezer Butler gave Black Sabbath their distinctive sound.

- What a long post Rue, I can't quote it on my phone :D
Reading your post I've realised Australia is nothing like I thought it would be, lol. I mean, I expected it to be expensive, and I understand there's no "history", but I guess some nice landscapes would make up for it?
The part that dissapointed me was the immigrations, I've never realised it was that difficult to get in.
I still have a lot of time to make my moves. The real decision making awaits me after my college.- Share

Anyway, I think for Tool you need to listen to some of the earlier stuff to appreciate the newer stuff.- Share

- It took me awhile to warm to Tool personally. At first I wasn't overly enthused with anything other than Sober and that's because I heard it on the radio when it came out. I used to listen to a good Alternative Rock station back in Canada. Lately the music on it is a bit bland and the DJ's are annoying.
Anyway, I think for Tool you need to listen to some of the earlier stuff to appreciate the newer stuff.
I got totally hooked on Tool after listening to 46 & 2, it can't get better than psychology and psychodelia mixed in one.09-28-2016 06:35 AMLike 0 -

It's got some very distinctive landmarks, diverse and dangerous wildlife, and a range of weather, you can go snow skiing in Australia if you want. However, the culture is interesting. It sometimes felt a touch 'American' and almost 'cultish'. They like to drink, a lot. If you like BBQs and beer you're half way there. Depending on who you hang out with your conversations will range from cars and sport (Aussies LOVE sport) to how many houses you own. The class difference in Aussies is based on income. Lower income earners tend to talk a lot about sport, their cars and when they got drunk last. Not much else really.
I would never recommend anyone to immigrate to a country they've never visited so I'd recommend doing the working tourist visa for the year and see what you think. If you decide that's something you'd like to try out, do some research on companies to work for and see if they'd be interested in hiring you. You can work six months at a company then you need to switch. Other than that you can try the roaming around Australia doing odd job thing but that's sort of disconcerting in my opinion.
Once you have some insight you can then decide if you want to return/stay or not. I'm sure you'd enjoy the experience but it's always best to remember it's a lot different living somewhere than visiting it.- Share

The two easiest ways to get a visa in ANY country is to marry or get a job. The US is by far the hardest with either of these two methods but not impossible.- Share

- Don't get me wrong, Australia is a beautiful and ancient land. It's got some of the most amazing beaches you can visit. I could easily flood this thread with pictures. Trust me, Bondi beach is nothing compared to where I've been.
