If by “samples” on the Iron Maiden tracks you’re referencing SFX or historical dialogue, I have no issue with that.


Ok. Philosophically, what's the difference? One band who's good at playing instruments uses a vocal sample and another band who's good at vocals uses a musical sample? If both are integrating pre-existing sound into a new context, the distinction seems to rest more on cultural expectations than on any real difference in the act itself.

How do you create anything original using a sampler?


Really? Go listen to Paul's Botique and get back to me.

I'm tired and up way past my bedtime. To be continued.....

Oh and BTW: Iron Maiden also used samples in their music, ie: The prisoner....

he's playing a sampler and a drum machine along with a synth and kalimba


And I hate to tell you, those are still instruments. Just because you don't LIKE it or have some other definition of "instrument" doesn't make you right.

If you say so...
Or this one...



Anything would have been better than the one the OP posted..
For me, far and away, it's S.O.P.

Whenever I hear it, I know I'm going to have to jump through unnecessary hoops that are going to slow down efficiency going forward...

So you're proud about sweeping what is either the 2nd or 3rd worst team in the conference. Congrats. I guess.

I had a buddy who had an addictive personality. 20 years ago, was a compulsive gambler. He'd make the 2 hour run to Nevada 3 or 4 times a month. He would also day trade the market. He got hooked on booze and was an alcoholic for a long time. As far as I know he kicked alcohol 3-4 years ago.

I truly scares me to think what would have happened to him with this kind of access in his pocket.

You're right. RZA doesn't play a single instrument. He plays about a dozen...

Maybe you WISH you did, but if you had even set foot near her your eye would like the the Ole miss fan in the cartoon...

so its ok for you cause she literally drives nowhere.



Yes, because our state also has a clause that allows you to pay 1.25 cents per mile capped at the flat fee for EVs/hybrids/PHEV. If you drive less that 4k miles per year that is the way to go.
To the OP: Have you barked at any Old people or Children today?

SEC Rant this week..

That was as bad as SC's 2025 football season and 25-26 basketball season combined...
My wife has a PHEV and we have a similar fee here in Utah. It's less than 1 tank of gas. Since she purchased the vehicle back in Jan, she's used 1/4 a tank of premium. I'm 110% OK with the additional fee. Our gas savings more than offsets the minimal cost.
First ballot RRHOF inductees.

Also stoked to see Joy Division/New Order and Luther Vandross get in as well.
