Some bands are obviously one or the other, as they just have that sound. But where does hard rock turn into heavy metal?

MQ: What bands could be considered as one or the other?

Quite Riot = hard rock

Iron Maiden = Heavy Metal

Black Sabbath = (kind of light but still heavy) Doom Metal

early Ozzy = Hard Rock – IN MY OPINION

that is my example

Not "who is the best ever", but who is the best guitarist that you know first-hand?

FFAF "Daniel" Halen

Philosophy& History are up there as strengths and interests as well but, German is definitely leading the charge. You gotta go with what you’re good at and what interests you but, I foresee a bleak future career wise, lol! Thanks!

You wrote: "…but I foresee a bleak future, career wise."

As do I… maybe.

That said…

You could also translate (specifically, written things), which is technically different than interpreting. Learn, also, all about computers (or something else technical), and technical writing, and you can get paid quite well to translate user manuals, for example, from English to German… or vice versa. You could pick-up all the computer and technical writing knowledge you’d need via non-credit distance learning for as low as $90(US) per course via what many colleges and universities offer via the "Ed2Go" system.

But don’t poo-poo interpreting, generally. Depending on where you’re doing it, and for whom, it can be a real kick…

…or do you REALLY think the interpretor sitting immediately next to some important government figure is not having a good time? And/or isn’t well paid?

If you become court certified, you can interpret at trials… standing right up next to the witness stand, in the thick of it… maybe even on TV if the CourTV cameras are there!

And what about UN interpretors? They think their careers are just fine… and they’re paid well, to boot.

When I worked for a newspaper, years ago, I reported on, and was, therefore, allowed to be on the set of a movie in the making…

…and one of the film’s advisors didn’t speak a word of English. The female interpretor permanently assigned to her by the production company for the six months or so that the movie was being shot (in about four different places around the world, I might add) was having the time of her life. She told me, in fact, that it was the most fun she had ever had with her clothes on, to be candid (and, to be equally candid, I wish I could say that when she so told, she had her clothes off, but, alas, I was, as a young and single bachelor, not able to parlay the encounter into anything quite that interesting). She added, however, that she was making money for those six months HAND OVER FIST! And she got her name on the credits at the end of the movie, too… which she’ll proudly be able to point out to her grandchildren (which she would be old enough, by now, to have, I should add).

There may also be no end of ways in which you could somehow combine your philosophy and history strengths with your German expertise… or were you (likely mistakenly) thinking that everyone at the Holocaust Museum in Washington, DC, for example, speaks and/or reads all the German, and/or at the level, at which they need to so do in order to best do their jobs?

I could go on and on. We haven’t even scratched the surface, yet… or considered your living and working in Germany for a while, and translating and/or interpreting in zillions of areas, potentially, there.

You, in my opinion, need to do some research…

…and not make quite so many bleak assumptions (though, that being your default approach will probably make you fit-in perfectly, were you to go to Germany). [grin]

Hope that helps. Good luck.

Recently, in Yahoo news, one of the top stories was a birthday party for a rap singer in Las Vegas. Why is this a top news story?

Because Americans are obsessed with celebrities and the news networks deliver what the viewers want.

I have time released adderrall and sometimes it is too intense, so I will open the capsul and swallow half the contents. Is this completely negating the time released aspect? In other words, do the little balls have to be in the capsul in order for the medication to be released slowly, or does it not matter? They are still in the little balls when i put them on my tongue… I don’t crush them up or chew them, if this makes a difference.

Although the capsule does protect the drug from the low pH of the stomach and protects the stomach from irritating effects of the drug, as long as you are not crushing/chewing the pellets the desired effect of the drug should be the same as if the pellets were inside the capsule. Caffeine increases the drugs effect therefore caffeine intake should be limited or completely avoided. Hope this helps!!!

I’m a bassist and me and my guitarist want to find some songs that sound good for just us to play together (songs that still sound good without vocals or drums)

Hysteria-Muse
Sick Sick Sick-Queens Of The Stone Age

When you are listening to their songs?

I love to sing along with Thom Yorke for some reason.

Jimi Hendrix and Iggy Pop!

Because I can actually sing Hendrix pretty well, Iggy Pop, eh, not so much but it’s still fun.

i live in Michigan, and i’m a huge fan of Green Day and i really wana see them live. so does anyone know when they’re announcing their tour dates? please help as best as you can. thanks!(:

They haven’t announced a tour yet, but last week they played their first two shows in small venues in the bay area and are playing two more next week, so hopefully they will announce u.s. tour dates soon.
Keep your eye on greenday.com and greendayauthority.com, the webmaster does have contact with the band and management so they will know right away when the dates do come out.
