Robbie Williams has this unique way of delivering songs which annoy and entice you at the same time. Great song this, the lyrics too.
Alive - Pearl Jam
Author: Ghostpipe
In 1991, one band had the grunge rock scene in the palm of their hands with this single possibly being their most memorable hit ever. Eddie Vedder's vocal is both distinct and provoking.
This is truly a great grunge rock song.
Unwell - Matchbox 20

Wonderful video this.
The World of Movies through DVDs
Author: Ghostpipe
The new DVD titles you can easily find on the net these days, as there are many websites which offer online purchases and also gives out great discounts. If you ever find yourself running out of time to physically go through the DVDs collection at your local stores, go to the net instead - it is faster and also more convenient.
Almost Easy - Avenged Sevenfold
Author: Ghostpipe
Love A7X's type of metal sound. Not too hard, not too mild, just enough to be on the edge of things.
This video reminds me of the movie "Spawn".
Little Wonders - Rob Thomas
Author: Ghostpipe
One day I'm going to reach this level of songwriting.
These small hours. These little wonders.
Great lyrics and tune.
Hungry like the Wolf
Author: Ghostpipe
Found this while surfing for great 80's music. This is what I grew up listening to. Great song, great video. Duran Duran. One of the best new wave music makers ever.
Dust in the Wind
Author: Ghostpipe
Kansas' 1977 classic hit, Dust in the Wind. Some songs are simply unexplainable.
This is not the original video, though.
Afterlife - Avenged Sevenfold
Author: Ghostpipe
Alvin told me of this song. Excellent riffs and melody.

The Best in Satellite TV
Author: Ghostpipe
In order to get the best of satellite TV, you can check out DirecTV which offers some of the very best packages I've seen on the net for satellite TV channels. Direct TV also offers several system options for you to choose from, i.e. systems with DVR, HD or both DVR and HD.
The part I like most about Direct TV is the promotions and free offers which come with their subscription, depending on the packages you're opting for of course. I'm a great movie fan, so naturally I'd go for packages which include HBO, Cinemax and the likes. All the packages are offered at a very reasonable price, which makes Direct TV one of today's satellite TV's most ideal choice for service provider.

Kickspace needs space
Author: Ghostpipe
So much for self-indulgence. I guess all songwriters at some point feel very pathetic about having to explain themselves to the listener or whoever is out there the reason why they write what they write. I mean, for myself, it's always a strange and invigorating feeling that I get when I write some prose or poetry or lyrics down on paper, but I just simply never prepare myself to have to explain to anyone else what I had written. The lyrics is there man, and so is the music. You go figure what it's all about, alright?
Song 3: I'll Never Leave You All Alone
Author: GhostpipeThe papers said it’s safe to breathe today
No body counts in large amounts
Just little sorrowed talks to pass around
The cable news had some light comedy
Of terrorists in suits and ties
Living in self-made pseudo paradise
I heard the radio speak of a name
The man’s insane, out of his mind
But if he is then why are we still blind
Even if the sky should fall
I’ll never leave you all alone to be taken
Even if the end should call
I’ll never leave you all alone and forsaken
Even if the grass grew tall
I’ll never leave you all alone to be taken
Even if the end should call
I’ll never leave you all alone …
Some little children playing in the fields
Above old empty cannon shells
A place where villains rose and heroes fell
A classic case of feeding greed and pride
Destruction of a sanctuary
Where does it leave their future, family
You’ll never miss it in the evening news
A sordid show of attitude
A slandering of ethics in the nude
Even if the sky should fall
I’ll never leave you all alone to be taken
Even if the end should call
I’ll never leave you all alone and forsaken
Even if the grass grew tall
I’ll never leave you all alone to be taken
Even if the end should call
I’ll never leave you all alone …

It's simply amazing to see this guy tapping effortlessly with all ten fingers simultaneously. Enjoy the video and accept the fact that God created some men with enormous talent so that most of us could emulate and admire them. And hopefully become like them too.
Some SRV licks with great tone

I'm not really an SRV follower but blues has always been my style of playing. The licks in this video is simplicity played at an admirable speed and accuracy.
Give me 2 months.
Song 2: Is It Really You?
Author: Ghostpipe
I had a very tumultuous time in the last couple of years trying to figure out what the flying fairies I really wanted to be. Well I think I'm getting closer to finding the answer, the haze is getting clearer but no so just yet, so I guess I just need to dig a bit deeper into myself. And writing songs is I find the only way for me to dig deeper, safely and surely. Here it is:
In the centre, a human line
Darkness seized the better of my mind
Feeling empty, nothing left behind
Voices came with words I can’t define
Ghostly silence, they move away
Lonely is the one who’s gone astray
Light in water, death is out to play
Caught the sight of life that made me stay
(And) I need, to get back on my feet again
(And) I need, to get back on my feet again
I….I never realized, that you could be the one
To lift me out of despair
I… I searched myself inside, to find the one that I’ve
Been looking for all this time
Final hours, I breathe the sea
Waiting for salvation from the free
Give me your love, give me energy
Is it really you I’m gonna be
(And) I need, to get back on my feet again
(And) I need, to get back on my feet again
I….I never realized, that you could be the one
To lift me out of despair
I… I searched myself inside, to find the one that I’ve
Been looking for all this time
Aaaahh….Is it really you….
Aaaahh….Is it really you….
To lift me out of despair
I… I searched myself inside, to find the one that I’ve
Been looking for all this time
I….I never realized, that you could be the one
To lift me out of despair
I… I searched myself inside, to find the one that I’ve
Been looking for all this time
Now this is what I call smooth fretwork!
Author: Ghostpipe
This is what i would describe as effortless fretboard surfing!
I wished I could slide like this. Maybe I could, if I practised more often.
Awesome stuff. Jazz just hits it right where it should.
Song 1: I Had You (performed by Kickspace)
Author: Ghostpipe
When you went your own way there were tears left inside
As I remembered saying "You know how I tried"
To be the only one, who could live beneath the sun
Close where to all your sorrows reside
The voice you left me with didn;t lie or defy
My fingers were too deep in my head to deny
That you were made like this, a temporary bliss
A final kiss before a goodbye
Counting all the times we're together
And old story's frown, frown, frown
Didn't think I'll last forever
Everything's on the ground
But I had you
To hold and touch me
To tell me all of the sad winter stories in your mind
And I had you
To cry and feel for
To tell me all of the high happy dreams you kept inside
I had you, I had you...baby
We stood beside a wall waiting for the right time
To tell each other we can't go on being blind
The streets are going bleak
The answers we both seek
Still asking if this is the wrong crime
Counting all the times we're together
And old story's frown, frown, frown
Didn't think I'll last forever
Everything's on the ground
But I had you
To hold and touch me
To tell me all of the sad winter stories in your mind
And I had you
To cry and feel for
To tell me all of the high happy dreams you kept inside
I had you, I had you...baby
Something like that.
Well folks, that about wraps up this edition of creative-sharing session. My band and I are hoping to re-record this song since the last one we did had not done justice to the rather tenderamatic presentation of the entire song.
Tune in next time for more creativity-in-a-pot session with yours truly.
In the meantime, rock on!
