I think I'll play this song right now on my guitar with the sound dampener turned off....

On this amp. I'd play it on my 65 watt crate but I think that would be, way too loud.

I wonder how good he would be if he'd spent that time learning real drums

he's using a roland, They are real drums


So he is.

I'll eat my words in this case then.

It just didn't occur to me that anyone who could play an instrument (as I presume this fellow can) would bother with rock band.

Ahh yes, my favorite past time, midi music. I picked up my first cd rom drive and with it, the must have cd game of all time, 7th guest. 7th guest was a SVGA game (That sucker was 8 bit color! 256 colors and some how they pulled off transluscent digital video footage over the back ground) that used Midi for all its music. I discovered the game had an easter egg, the 2nd disc had a red book cd audio track of most of the games soundtrack played on the SCC1 roland board. After hearing just how good these midi files could sound, I quickly got into the world of PC Midi. I upgraded my SBpro to an SB16 multi cd, this monster not only supported the proprietory connector for my cdrom drive, but also an MPU expansion connector for a midi daughter board. The first daughter board I got was creatives wave blaster, but it was pretty weak. I figured out if I wanted a really good midi sound, I would need to plunk down some seriouse cash, and it would probably need to be from roland. So I picked up the roland SCD-15 (I still have that thing! but nothing to plug it into now) and while not quite as good as the dedicated SCC1, it was enjoyable. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rJlkz6V0VOQ to hear how it sounded)

I picked up the SBlive as soon as it came out and proceeded to knock several megs of instruments into that sucker as well. I even put together a sound font called musica theoria (its hilarious when I google that now). My thirst for playing with midi music now is dried up now, but I have a sizeable collection of chip music, sound tracks from my fav gameboy/genesis/snes/ps1 (the entire final fantasy 7-9 series is chip music) so I can hark back on old memories of how music evolved over the decades.

The Gravis Ultrasound was the best sound card of all time (in relative terms of course). It also, unfortunately, taught me a lasting lesson in computer hardware. Even though it was comparatively cheap, and was at least three or four years head of its competition, I ended up switching from the GUS to a far inferior Sound Blaster 16. The lesson: it doesn't matter how cool your hardware is, if there isn't software to support it, it amounts to nothing. You're better off just buying whatever is the mainstream most of the time. (Hands up if the phrase "SBOS installed." rings a bell).

It did ultimately become reasonably well supported though after a few years, once Miles Sound System supported it and became pretty much the standard for DOS games audio.

The Roland cards in this video weren't really consumer cards (they were more for musicians) and they were terrible for games, unless you only used it for music and had another card for sound effects.

Why should I waste my time roasting a man whose single greatest accomplishment will be leaving a tiny, bloated corpse in some eastern europe harbor?

I've known Roland for many years now and one thing that really stands out is .. hmm. In any case, since his suicide attempt, after the rape scandal, he has really been on the up and up and has played Mafia Wars on facebook more than anyone else, ever, ever. It's a good thing there's not real social aspect to that, since his "skills" in that aren't quite "maxed out". If you understod that, pat yourself on the shoulder you're in the cool crowd now. We're special.

Roland has no real accomplishments or talents, so it's hard to nail him on something - unlike his "walk in the park" with a 13 year old boy that one fateful evening in 2004 - but I digress. His utter lack of anything has led to a spiral of depression, that we have to stop before it leads to things like drugs and.. I suppose we're to late for that. Well, at least we have to close the borders of Slowenia so the "kulpims syndrome" hit the rest of us. Already, I see posters in here spouting angry things at the moon, crying in their deep psychosis. How could you people start this? @therealblankman I blame you for this atrocity. I would say "a pox on you", but you have to enjoy what little time you have left before the leprecy takes your genitals.

This isn't really a roast, it's an intervention to stop the sadness from spreading. And it's damn near impossible. Already, I'm nearly tearing up from it. I would weep for Roland, because of his sad life, but honestly I just don't care. Maybe, some day he will amount to something, but in that shithole of a country there's little chance for redemption.

Go to America, Roland, go there and improve on your life. Live up to the American Dream of slavery and hardship, increase your weekly salary to almost $10. Go, live, procreate with the wildlife. I believe in you, Jesus loves you, and stay the fuck out of Denmark, you hippie.

Roland would not approve. A gunslinger shoots from the hip!

Looks like Roland Emmerich directed this series!

Two thoughts;

Roland won't have done much directing during this CGI-fest.

You'll feel cheated after two hours of this and I will think twice about even torrenting it.

My name is Roland Emmerich. Everything you know and love, I break it on film.

Boom! Bang!

My best friend is Michael Bay.

At the very least it would make a great prop for your next mad scientist movie. Wonder what it went for on the great leveler?

Kabuki theater has had an extensive philosophical interpretation put upon it by Roland Barthes.
Perhaps that's what the FED needs: a lover who's a french structuralist, a piece of quiche, and a smoke.

I think I can fill out most of the list:

#1. The House Sergeant at Arms (left), and I think he's accompanied by the Senate Sergeant at Arms.
#2. Special guests
#3. From left to right, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV), Senator Dick Durbin (D-IL), Senator Chuck Shumer (D-NY), and in front of them looks like Supreme Court Justice Sam Alito.
#4. From left to right, Defense Secretary Robert Gates, Treasury Secretary Timothy Geitner, and HRC herself (Secretary of State).
#5. In the middle is Congressman Charlie Rangel (D-NY), I'm guessing he's with other House Representatives from NY.
#6. Senator Chris Dodd (D-CT) currently also Chairman of the Senate Banking Committee (kinda important atm)
#7. From left to right, House Minority Whip Eric Cantor (R-VA), and House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-OH). These two are the current Republican House leadership.
#8. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV).
#9. Senator Judd Gregg (R-NH), who had a brief flirtation with being Obama's Commerce Secretary.
#10. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY). He's the current Republican Senate leadership.
#11. Earl Devaney, the new Inspector General Obama was talking about seconds before (who helped bust Jack Abramaoff)
#12. Not sure who the guy picking at his ear is, but the other two are Housing and Urban Development Secretary (HUD) Shaun Donovan, and Labor Secretary Hilda Solis.
#13. Juggs magazine. Or the text of the speech he's listening to. Oh, and it's Senator Richard Shelby (R-AL), who's the ranking Republican on the Senate Banking Committee (and former chair).
#14. The infamous Joe Lieberman (I-CT), former Democrat who campaigned for John McCain.
#15. Senator Arlen Spector (R-PA), one of the 3 Republicans to vote for the Stimulus bill.
#16. Senators Evan Bayh (D-IN), and Roland Burris (D-IL) the latter of Blagojevich fame.
#17. Senator Patrick Leahy (D-VT) in the middle, not sure of anyone else. He's the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee.
#18. I'm forgetting his name, but he's a House Republican, and most likely so is the woman next to him.
#19. Peter Orszag, new Director of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), formerly Director of the Congressional Budget Office (CBO). Chief of Staff Rahm Emmanuel is to his left.
#20. Chuck Shumer again.

#28. Don't know.
#29. Senator Dick Lugar (R-IN)
#30. Don't recognize him, but he must be an Obama cabinet member, since that's who he's sitting amongst.

#36. I only know the one on the left, Admiral Mike Mullen, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, but those are the *cough* Joint Chiefs of Staff; the heads of the Navy, Army, Air Force, and Marines (in that order unless I've misidentified the uniforms).
#37. No clue, but it's likely they're part of the JCS organization.
#38. Dunno, but he's sure to be on this list somewhere. To his left is Ted Strickland, Governor of Ohio (D).
#39. Don't know. I think that's the Republican House section, though.
