Thanks dear.

happy birthday my good sir. You make this forum absolutely worth it. Do enjoy your day. Cheers.

I'm sure the IGP won't want to release the medical report of those defunct SARS members.

Whoever wrote this should stop deceiving himself or herself. Nigerians and Nigerians in diaspora along with other well meaning citizens of other country brought SARS down, not these women.

Well I must say she's not suppose to say "Nigeria is a jungle". Doesn't tell well of her holding a national honour from the country she called a jungle.

However we must commend her for being vociferous about the brutality and mass stupidity of some member of SARS and the Nigeria Police.

how is it?

Well she said she isn't vain but she actually sounded vain by giving her husband permission to leave her. Like he got married to her face or what exactly

DontBullshitMe:
Spot on mahn!

We so much reason alike.

dude honestly I believe the Federal Government need to set up an agency that should interview couples who want to get married.

If the couple aren't mentally fit, they shouldn't think or reason anything about marriage.

I tell you the amount of idiots (I cancelled that word because I've come to know the average Nigerian isn't really an idiot, he or she is smart in a dubious, like very dubious kind of way) ignorance flying allover the Nigerian airspace is choking.

DontBullshitMe:
Exactly mahn.

Considering the messed up state of the economy, unreliability of humans and other factors, this is clearly a huge gamble.

need I say parents who are not readily well to do are the ones who have this abysmal mindset?

Go to areas that are densely populated by the so called masses and see how they breed like pigs. It's as if they're gambling and hoping if they have 3 to 6 or 7 kids, one of them will make it big and take care of them.

What I find irritating with this very foolish mindset is, they fail to even get it that the kids who they can't even afford to take care of, will make it in life and take care of them. Ask them why they're so sure about this and their stupid reply is: "if I no born am shey him go make am".

It's now becoming a standard fact that a whole lot of Nigerians aren't fit to be called parents. This people think putting food on the table and clothes on the back of a child is what parenting is all about.

DontBullshitMe:
Children are not pension plan.

Invest heavily in diverse investment portfolios, own several income generating assets and have a house of your own.

At this point, you won't give a fuçk about whatever your child(ren) chooses to do when you are old.

True that. The bolded is one very big mistake many Nigerian parents make. They readily have this muddled up mentality that having children who will take care of them when they're old is the way to go.

Truly we are doomed in this country!.

i don't get

I downloaded the movie via the link you posted but what I found wasn't Batman, it's a 14 mins plus animation call Sgt Rock.

I asked if it's the same with you?

Joseph 1832 Do you remember Tour of Duty? It was shown on NTA2 Channel 5 from c1990-1993. This was its theme tune.


I ensured that my niece fell in love with this song in 2005, but not this version, that was Vanessa Carlton's cover version.


The Rolling Stones - Paint It Black (1966).

how can I forget it. Love the song. First time I heard it was in Tour Of Duty, then it was use as the sound track of Devils Advocate.

Really wonderful song. Love the guitar played in the song also.

The IGP can ban police and Sars from.searching but who is going to enforce this order.

It's not the first time they've been banning police and Sars officials from doing this things but yet, they still go ahead and do such things.

Let us know how we can report recalcitrant police officers, period.

naptu2:
I'm trying to restrain myself right now, but maybe I'll go crazy tonight.

I usually don't discuss my favourite rock songs because my taste is very ecclectic and I have had many favourites over many decades (anything from Paperback Writer to Paint It Black to Born In The USA to Smells Like Teen Spirit) and it can get very difficult.

I created a playlist on Windows Media Player in 2005 and I decided to only add my favourite rock songs and there were over a thousand songs by the time that I had finished.

I'll be back tonight.

Good lord!!!

Careful wizzy before you're summoned by the DSS. Beside I still wonder why all the fuss since the IGP have addressed the issue.

Though I know things will soon return to the way it was, because we have this problem of enforcing laws, and being consistent in this country.

I did a Jimi Hendrix series on my diary in 2014, but I think it was washed away by the data loss tsunami, so I'll post it again.

I was always fascinated by the story in this song. Seal also covered it in the late 1990s.


You can see him playing the guitar with his teeth at the beginning of this video.


Jimi Hendrix - Hey Joe (1967).


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rXwMrBb2x1Q

not bad. Not bad at all. It's deep. Nice lyrics. Reminds me of The Beetles Hey Jude. Hey Jude and Hey Joe kinda rhymes then the lyrics reminds me of The Temptations Papa Was A Rolling Stone.

SegFault:
I mean the 70's and 60's bands listened to.

oh Kay. That's my bad. Didn't listen to any. Started listening to Rock early 2000.

SegFault:
Black Sabbath is rough Metallica and Iron Maiden are now what?

you know the answer to that.

SegFault:
you're not the only freak my brother. by Hard Rock I guess you've listened to Black Sabbath.

Lord! Too rough for my liking. Some with Children Of Bodom. They're just too dark for me. Lol.

SegFault:
Which bands did you listen to?

started with Linkin Park, then Evanescence, Nickelback, Daughtry, Saliva, POD, PARAMORE, Within Temptation, Guns N Roses, Mars Volta, Eye Empire etc.

SegFault:
Toor, start listening to 70's and 60's rock, start with Stairway to Heaven. I'll listen to it later, na osho free internet I dey use, YouTube no fit work on top am.

I tried, it all seem too old. To me aside the mad guitar skill on display, lyrics go along way. Don't think 70's and 60's rock have that.

Part of the lyrics go:



(They changed DA to TA in the music notes)

Now, the real reason that I love this song (and the reason that I played it every weekend 1996-2000) is not because of Michael Jackson, rather it’s because of Guns N Roses guitarist Slash.

Slash played the riff and the guitar solo on this song and the guitar solo is too sweet. It is absolutely wonderful. That’s the reason that I love this song.

Several people have featured on Michael Jackson’s songs, but (apart from Paul McCartney), they are usually not acknowledged in the song. Michael never said anything about Siedah Garrett (I Just Can’t Stop Loving You) or Eddie Van Halen (Beat It), but he actually introduced Slash before the guitar solo in this song.

The title of the song stands for Dom Sheldon, but Michael is actually singing Tom Sneddon.

Michael Jackson – D.S. (1995)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SHWpLfZzGU0

title of the song is DS isn't it? Never knew it's a diss song and didn't know Michael do diss song.

Love the song anyway.

SegFault:
Unique styles, killer riffs, amazing psychedelic solos (this is David Gilmore's trump card). That's how ya know who is better, well you could listen more to rock to understand that slash ain't the only one, I even forgot to mention Brian May especially on Bohemian Rhapsody.

well I listen to Rock (all forms) but most of this guys were in their prime when I was still a kid.

I mentioned earlier I didn't even know who Eddie Van Halen was until Naptu opened this thread. I'm more accustom to the guitarist of today.

You should listen to Orianthi Highly Strung and tell me what you feel.

Ishilove:
Don't blame me. I'm an MJ superfan

same here.

SegFault:
You need to hear Jimi Hendrix, Mark Knopfler, Jimmy Page and David Gilmore then, there are others who are better than him self like Angus Young and Eric Clapton.

better than Slash? Well yeah its possible but hey I still don't know the criteria they use in knowing who is better than who.

One brow reached my hairline as I was reading it

lmao. Take it easy will you.

Ishilove:
Sheesh, have some respect will ya? See as you just bastardised a classic song.

I actually laughed when I read it.

Grandmeister:

em who actually spilled the beans that Eddie Van Halen is the one who played the Guitar in Beat It? Lol

naptu2:
Slash played the solo on DS and he also played on the video or Black or White (it was actually slash that played the riff that Macaulay Culkin was dancing to at the beginning of the video).

Yikes. I use to believe Slash was the person who played the guitar in all Michael Jackson's songs. Even his live performance.

There was his 30th anniversary celebration where Slash literally killed every song he played his guitar, especially the song before Billie Jean.

I often compare Eddie Van Halen's solo on Beat It and Slash's solo on DS, but I can't decide which I prefer.

Slash also played on Give In To Me, but it was a different guitarist on Dirty Diana.

For me I believe Slash's solo on Give In To Me trumps it all. I didn't even think there's another Guitarist who's better than Slash. To me the person who came close is Steve Vai.

Whoever the guitarist is that played on Dirty Diana deserves a vacation in Heaven.

Van Halen were very popular in the 1980s and early 1990s

I was just a kid then. Never heard of the group before and didn't even know he existed until your thread. Now I know.

Nuff respect to Eddie Van Halen. Dude really rocks.

Wow. Actually thought the dude who played the guitar in Michael Jackson's beat it is Slash, never knew it's this guy.

Frankly I've never even heard of him until now. Always thought Slash of Guns and Roses played for Michael Jackson.

There's Dirty Diana, Give In To Me, Come Together and the likes. Nice to know this anyway.

Rest In Peace to him.
