I love(d) the sound of crashing guitars!!!!




















Been thinking a lot lately about people I knew and People I've lost contact with but think of often.

Thinking about people I know now who aren't having a very good time, not doing well but used to do very well when I knew them.

These are one of the few moments that I realize that I feel real sad and sober and and my heart feel a little heavy. I realized that everytime I take a walk in my memory lane, which is filled with so many people and so many things which are so close to my heart, I would love some nice alternative band like Cold play, Nirvana, Pearl Jam or Foo Fighters to lend me their music as soundtracks for my thoughts. It would suit perfectly well.

When I’m really down, when I hate the world I would love some Iron maiden...” A lonely cry for help, reaching out for help from anyone, a silent prayer to god to help me on my way” when I’m depressed I go to Metallica’s – Mama Said, I love to go to these rockers who sing about pain and misery. They ease it off, I guessed.

My ears would bleed with Iron maiden’s – “Why then is god still protecting me, even when I don’t deserve it?

Now a little matured (I guess) I think about it… So many of my mortal gods of rock screech about being in pain, the misery of life, the wounded heart, the crying soul…. but they've barely scratched the surface. The rockers who scream of pain are not like me, trying to meet ends, they are millionaires.

Knowing this too well now why am I still able to relate to them so well and where is the connection? Where is the depth? Where is the mystery? I hear all these "painful" songs suddenly feel we're all one in our collective pain!

I don’t know again… I really don’t know, I would have to quote mettallica to express my feeling… “SAD BUT TRUE!!!”

Yeah, but when they were writing some of their songs they were just struggling musicians themselves...not yet millionares :)

Besides, isn't that why we say they were so great-because they can put to words the feelings that we average Joes & Janes have but can't express? That's real talent for you...

Well this blog certainly is not about online guitars. What the heck! I guess the internet can play some tricks on us sometimes. I have been on-line for two hours
researching online guitars and came tumbling across your blog. I LOVE IT! I needed a break from online guitars anyways :-) If you don't mind I want to add your
blog to my favorites list so I can come back later on and read some more stuff. Well I guess I should get back to researching online guitars.
Even though my search is not on I love(d) the sound of crashing guitars!!!! I am glad I came across your blog. Keep blogging away!

I love your blog Blogger. How long has it been on-line? Reason I ask is I am doing a ton of work in the area of takamine guitars and will probably end up starting a blog of my own. Funny how the internet brought me here when I was doing searches on takamine guitars. Oh well, I am glad it did. Keep up the great blogging and I am sure I will visit I love(d) the sound of crashing guitars!!!! again!!

Well I just got back from the gym and I am beat. I am currently doing some research on resonator guitars and stumbled across your blog. Which cracks me up really. The internet can certainly land you off base sometimes. Even though I love(d) the sound of crashing guitars!!!! is not completely related I think it is a cool blog. I have read back through the archives and lots of people make some very good points. Well I have been on-line forever it seems. I need to continue to plug away at resonator guitars. If you have the energy swing by resonator guitars. I try to update my site weekly and maybe you will see something you like. I already snagged your URL and put it in my favorites. If you do not mind I will be back again. Great job!

Even though I love(d) the sound of crashing guitars!!!! really isn’t on the same page as d tune guitars I am certainly glad I came across your blog. There are a ton of great view points on this blog. Well I think I can here the kids screaming in the background. I put you in my internet favorites and I will certainly come back and visit.
