All Time Best Action Movies - Take The Action Movie Quiz

By S Flynn

While you won't see many of the epic action movies winning academy awards, I believe they still hold a rightful purpose when it comes to film making. Arnie, Stallone, Seagal and Van Dame pathed the way for the edge of your seat and entertaining action movies; and while action movies have changed their style I believe this only helps to keep action movies fresh and enjoyable.

As a tribute to my passion for this movie genre I have collected some quotes from the movies I consider to be the all time best action movies. Lets see how well you know your action movies by working out the quote from the movie I have in mind....

1) Billy: I'm scared Poncho. Poncho: Bulls---. You ain't afraid of no man. Billy: There's something out there waiting for us, and it ain't no man. We're all gonna die

2) Tweety Bird - Any sign of Wile E. Coyote? -William Strannix - No. Meet at the bird cage as planned, Roadrunner, out! Krill You're the roadrunner? - William Strannix - Yeah, never been caught. Mee-meep.

3) The guy is a used car salesman! This just keeps getting better and better! I'm sorry, Harry, I know this is hard for you. But you gotta admit if this was me you'd be laughing your a-- off!

4) Pai Mei taught you the five point palm-exploding heart technique?

5) She was my wife. We married in secret because I would not share her with an English lord. They killed her to get to me. I've never spoken of it, I don't know why I tell you now, except... I see her strength in you. One day, you'll be a queen. And you must open your eyes. You tell your king that (main characters name) will not be ruled... and nor will any Scot while I live.

6) (Doctor) - You broke my arm! - (Mental patient) - There's 215 bones in the human body. That's one.

7) You don't seem to want to accept the fact you're dealing with an expert in guerrilla warfare, with a man who's the best, with guns, with knives, with his bare hands. A man who's been trained to ignore pain, ignore weather, to live off the land, to eat things that would make a billy goat puke. In Vietnam his job was to dispose of enemy personnel. To kill! Period! Win by attrition. Well (main characters name) was the best.

8) You think I wouldn't have been prepared? Two years I spent setting up that elevator job, two years I invested in it. You couldn't understand the kind of commitment that I have. You ruined a man's life's work and you think you can walk away? You got blinders on to the world! But I got your attention now, didn't I Jack?

9) TV Reporter - Meanwhile, mystery surrounds the fate of David Webb, also known as (main characters name), the source behind the exposure of the Blackbriar program. It's been reported that Webb was shot and fell from a Manhattan rooftop into the East River ten stories below. However, after a three day search, Webb's body has yet to be found.

10) Ooooh, I'm very sorry Hans. I didn't get that message. Maybe you should've put it on the bulletin board. I figured since I've waxed Tony and Marco and his friend here, I figured you and Karl and Franco might be a little lonely, so I wanted to give you a call.

Which Guitar Amp Is Best For You?

By Frank Frederics

Everybody likes music and if you are a guitar player you want that the sound that is produced that your electric or acoustic guitar have the quality you want. The sound of the quality is determined in first place by the quality of the instrument and in second place by the amplification equipment you have.

For this purpose, you need a good guitar amp. Choosing a guitar amp is not a difficult task, and the only thing you need to know are some basic tips that will help you to get the perfect guitar amp.

There are several types of guitar amps and all of them have different level of power, equalization and other important features that will help you to produce a different and more powerful, less powerful sound.

If you have a simple electric acoustic guitar and you are going to play your guitar indoor in a place that don't require a large place, you can use a small guitar amp that can cost about $100 or less. There are different brands but I don't want to talk about brands. For choosing a guitar amp the most important thing is select a good brand and test your instrument in the shop you purchase your guitar amp.

There are a couple of options you can test in the same place you are attempting to purchase the guitar amp. Also there is a special guitar amp of bass guitars. Bass guitar require a stronger guitar amp in capacity and you never should connect a bass guitar in a simple guitar amp because it could cause problem to your equipment.

I highly recommend that you ask to the seller the guitar amps that are specially designed for electric guitars in the case you have an electric guitar.

The Possum: George Jones

By James G. Pynn

If you know -- good. If you don't -- you should. George Jones was one of the hardest drinking, fastest living son of a guns in all of country music history. Admittedly living a life modeled after his hero, Hank Williams, George Jones blazed a trail of infamy and heartache across the wide-open plains of country music history. Known for his distinctive voice and loose phrasing style, the exploits of George Jones have passed from mere stories into legend.

According to a Country Music Television poll, Jones is the "the greatest living country singer" today. In true George Jones style, I'm sure hed say something to the effect, "it's the living part that's tricky." His clever turn of phrases and unusual vocal style can best be sampled on such legendary hits as "White Lightin'" and "He Stopped Loving Her Today." Then again, all of his songs carry that signature sound.

Jones was famously (or infamously) married to Tammy Wynette. This marriage made in madness was the stuff of legend, often requiring the services of the local sheriff to help them mediate. Of course that's a fancy word for "cool off." Between his drinking problem and her drug addiction, it was not the high point of marital bliss for either one of them, When it all came crashing down in 1975, no one was surprised.

Now in his seventies, George Jones has not stopped recording or touring. Indeed, he is on tour this summer and is coming to a local gin joint near you. Though there might no be as much pep in his step, his voice is as rich and full as ever. No one can turn a song like The Possum. For those of you not in the know, that's his nickname.

Booking your George Jones tickets is as easy as pie. You just have to follow the links to the best little booking service around. Don't wait until the last minute and fall prey to the scalpers. Get a great ticket at a fair price and sleep well at night. But do it quick, because the Possum is not on tour for long.

Purchasing New Pickups For Your Electric Guitar

By Kyle Zoltowski

The sensual and colorful pitch of electric guitars was the pinnacle of rock and roll. During the 1950's, this sound was being tried and then in the 60's and 1970's, that creation was added to until it transformed into rock and roll. The amazing sound that comes from an electric guitar is simply beautiful. It is amazing to ponder where music would have ended up if it hadn't been for the creation of the electric guitar; a terrible idea. A band without an electric guitar is like a child without its parents.

Electric guitars come in various contours, sizes, colors, and designs. Some think that it does not bear significance what electric guitar that is used because they all are electric guitars. This is is not the case; brand, size, pickups, and neck play a part in the sound that is made. Because of this, certain brands of electric guitars have been the choice for decades because of the perfection in sound. Although, the largest contributing factor to the sound type is the pickups.

Whether starting a brand new band, jamming solo, or adding some weapons to your band's arsenal, you should be aware of the different arrangement of pickups used in electric guitars prior to your purchase. Many instrument shops will let you you picking them up and whaling and can be very helpful in providing information and assisting one in buying the most suitable electric guitar. Make sure to get an explanation about the different types of pickups. Thetypes of pickups for electric guitars are:

* Single Coil Pickups - This style has a single wire and coil. This type is the oldest of electric guitar types. When strumming on single coil pickup, the sound is drowned by other frequencies in the air which make a humming sound. These types of pickups are rarely seen today but are the choice of a few very well known rockers because of the blues-like sound they produce.

* Humbucker Pickups - This pickup has two coils so the unwanted hum of the single coil pickup was cancelled out. Basically, the coil processes two signals: one that the strings are letting out and one that eliminates the hum. The actual piece in this arrangement is called a Humbucker which was patented in 1954. The humbucker is basically the arrangement of two coils.

* Double Coil Pickups - These pickups, just like their name, have two coils. Though, for one reason, guitarists do like the hum sound once in a while so the double coil pickup electric guitars sometimes come with a switch that can cancel the second coil.

There are things that go into the sound an electric guitar makes. However, pickups are the single most important part of the electric guitar. Other things for example: neck length, shape, material, frets, and tuners also play a part but not like the pickups. For years, rock stars have been experimenting the perfect guitar to make the best sound. Rock and roll has transformed in some ways but in other ways it has stayed the same.
