March 6, 2006.
She got sick in August of 2005, she needed a valve replacement in her heart, and she got the operation. At the beginning of February of 2006 (the last time I ever saw her, I was supposed to go visit her in the hospital the day that she passed) she came over and cooked a traditional Arabic meal for my family celebrating my dad's birthday, well that night she got really sick. She went to the doctor and they told her it was just pneumonia...they didn't even check her heart. It continuted for about two weeks, and she went back...told her it was a yeast infection...didn't check her heart...this whole time not even thinking about her surgery just a few month before. Well, about February 17...she checked herself into the hospital...and they finally checked her heart. The valve they replaced had gotten infected...and they kept her in a hospital bed. Towards the end of February, she was really sick. She would get violently cold...and then violently warm. This whole time, the doctor's were still examining her. Finally...at the beginning of March..I believe March 2nd...they had her set up for another operation (prior to this, they transported her hospitals). March 6, a day before he surgery, after fighting bacteria flowing through her blood for almost two months, she couldn't fight anymore, and passed.
Basically...the doctor's let her lay in a hospital bed for almost a month with bacteria pumping through her body. When you're older, your body can only take so much.
Needless to say, we have a very strong case against the doctor. I wouldn't like to get into that, though.
I'm sorry to hear about your grandmother, if I may ask, what kind of cancer? I had an aunt pass from breast cancer and another woman who is like an Aunt to me is fighting a very serious bout of breast cancer.

I'm not a big fan of the opera type music, but you can't deny the man's voice... real soothing.

Ignore the video, it had the best quality version of the song I could find though.

I'll send you a PM to avoid clogging this thread with this talk and let someone take Shard's bad ass recommendation. Then I'm heading to bed.

Great song, and a great voice. The only thing I didn't like is how he sings it. Sing. Stop. Sing. Stop. It got a little irritating. One of the few Bee Gees songs I like.

Liars - Let's Not Wrestle Mt. Heart Attack: C-
It was definitely unique. It got kind of repetitive after a while though. Not really something I would listen to, to each his own. Sounded kinda trippy.

The original is the best version of this song, and although the Tina Turner version slightly alters my perception of the tune every time I hear it, I've gotten more and more back to appreciating it as a CCR song over time. That's why bands/singers shouldn't cover songs - it really changes the way you look at the original. CCR is mad underrated though. I've always been kind of surprised you like them, being good 'ol southern-style rock and all. It's a great culture/genre though. Bands like Lynard Skynard, the Allman Brothers, and, of course, CCR, make me long for the days back home in the south.

Yeah, it was a live version with decent sound quality. I was just talking about how CCR's version > Tina Turner's.
And get some speaker's bro', that's insane that you spend so much time on the computer but don't have them...

I agree - I don't know how I haven't got 'em yet. I guess I'm so used to not having 'em, I don't miss 'em

I really though that the acoustic guitar parts where great, but that the first part of the song after the beginning was boring and bland.

Er... that video was like 2-3 pages back.
I'll rate RATM's KITNO real quick though.
A-
Overplayed and overrated lyrics. Like a lot of de la Rocha's lyrics, these had the right intentions behind them but were ultimately shallow for lyrics that are often considered deep. I'm sure it got a lot of people my age at the time to think and motivated them towards political and/or social action at the time though, and for that I give it the grade I did.
Anyway, here's my video again -

Damn that video sucked ass, he had some nice scenery pictures and video footage goin', but then he put up pics of friends and himself and some other crap.

Chicago's own .. no .. Elk Grove Village's own .. no .. Joliet's own .. no .. Ok Chicagoland's own Smashing Pumpkins rockin' with this track! Yeah, that's it. Not my favorite track, but the verses are nice. The chorus flows in without much notice, that's what prevents the higher score for me.
Next song comes from Dredg again. From their somewhat "sell out" album comes truthfully the only truly great song on it. I love the slide guitar work as always and then the piano being played by Dino (the drummer) at the same time is always a blast to see. Great bass too.

Haha. Yup, he's kind of good. He's coming around to my little nook in June for a festival, so I'll go see that.

Fuel - C+ The vocals were good, and the guitar was all right, but I just wasn't feeling the song that much.

Good track from Jimi, as always in any video you see him in he's just so casual with the guitar. Like it is a part of his body. That's the type of love for the guitar that most current generation guitarist don't have. One of the most inspirational songs of all-time right there for guitarists that still try to install solos into their music.
New song is from Stellastarr*. Great band, still not getting the respect they deserve.

The music and lyrics were absolutely beautiful, especially the music. It was somewhat hypnotizing, I got lost in it. The only thing that held this song down for me was the voice of the singer, I wasn't too fond of it.

After watching the Grammy's, I've got to post a RHCP song, their latest single.

This is about the point where Incubus started to go downhill unfortunately, but I loved this song when it first came out. It's just been so overplayed over the years that I've gotten really bored with it.

It's the Beatles, what's there not to like! I like this, it's from the movie Yellow Submarine that I have yet to see in its entirety. Good song, one of my favorites of theirs. My pick...

Don't get me wrong, I appreciate the song and the stage presence that Deep Purple had, but this song isn't A material from me simply because I'm not a drum fanattic. It's got an undeniably great solo --- just my not the kind of thing I personally like to listen to. I'm sure a lot of other people on this forum who comprehend the drums (because I admittedly don't fully) will enjoy it more.
New Song:
(It's a short instrumental, but it's amazing. Possibly the greatest instrumental I've heard to date.)

That was absolutely beautiful, very emotion packed. To me, the instruments gave off the notion that it was a very dramatic, painful instrumental, absolutely brilliant.
Let me find a video.
