Reynolds Metals Knowledge Base
How do I make my guitar sound heavy? My friend gave me her J. Reynolds guitar, looks like a Fender pretty much. I have totally 0 music knowledge. I finally got a chord for the amp and plugged it in but I have no idea of how to make it sounds different. I'm aiming at making it sound Metal or Hard Rock at least. Right now it sounds pretty much the same as unplugged. Like Acoustic-ish. Remember: I have 0 musical knowledge so explain everything like if you were talking to a baby.
would someone read this story and rate it on a scale of 1-10 and critique it as well? My story starts when i was four. My name is Evangeline Valdis. Picture this. I am sitting at a desk coloring a picture. The picture is meaningless. It is a rainbow and a pony. My teacher is Miss. Reynolds. She is writing our lesson plan on the board. The scene changes suddenly. Rapidly. It is a parking lot. Dark. It is raining and Miss. Reynolds car wont start. She is muttering under her breath. A red car pulls up beside her. "Maybe it's your spark plugs Miss. Reynolds!" A man hollers. >She gasps then steps out of the drivers seat. Smiling. Its only Mr. Turner. "Probably!" She calls back. He jogs over. She is still smiling. Suddenly there is a scuffle. A scream. Several screams. A bang, clang of metal. And then Miss. Reynolds, covered in blood at the foot of her car. Dead. >The scene shifts and i am four again. And i am screaming at the top of my lungs. Miss. Reynolds looks terrified. "Angel--" she begins shakily, for my screams are otherworldly. I do not know what i saw or why i saw it. >The screaming continues as Miss. Reynolds calls first my parents then the school nurse. I am sedated and taken home by my father. A week later, Miss. Reynolds is on the news. She was found raped and beaten to death by the foot of her car in the school parking lot. >There are no suspects.
Thrash/Death Metal Vocals? I'm the vocalist for a Thrash metal band, and I want to do the vocals like John Kevill, Steve Reynolds, and Steve Zetro. Do have any tips on breathing exercises, how to not screw up my voice, how to do the screams, etc. Any tips are helpful. Here's the link. http://www.myspace.com/tartarus13
Gostaria da gentileza de traduzir este texto para o português. Tem alguém que possa me ajudar? . Born out of the West Coast Metal scene of the 80's, Metal Church quickly became one of the standout talents of the genre. After signing a deal with Elektra records, they released two critically acclaimed albums. Their self-titled release "Metal Church" postured the band as one of the pioneers of the thrash/metal scene. The All Music Guide had this to say about the debut: "The band's incredibly tight musicianship is a highlight all on it's own. This album remains an overlooked classic of straight-ahead American-bred heavy metal." With the heavy metal scene starting to rise in the U.S., Metal Church set out on a very successful tour with label mates Metallica. Next came "The Dark," the fury of its opening track, "Ton of Bricks" was championed as one of the premier metal releases of the 80's. The Dark also led to one of a few lineup changes with the departure of vocalist David Wayne. However, more success was yet to come. With the addition of former Heretic vocalist Mike Howe, and Metallica guitar tech extraordinaire John Marshall, the riffing became heavier and the subject matter deeper. They tackled political and social issues of the day with the releases of "Blessing In Disguise" and "The Human Factor." At a time when heavy metal bands moved from the underground and became part of the hair band/pop fad, Metal Church stayed true to their roots. During the mid 90's, the members of Metal Church headed in their own directions. Kurdt Vanderhoof worked on his namesake project, Vanderhoof, while Kirk Arrington was playing on various sessions including a recording with Sir Mix-A-Lot. 1999 led to a well-received reunion of the original Metal Church lineup with the release of "Masterpeace". The band went back to their classic sound and played several festivals overseas. 2004 saw them back with new vocalist, Ronny Munroe, whose style has been described as "Rob Halford meets Dio", as well as Jay Reynolds (Malice) on guitar and Steve Unger on bass. With a new record "The Weight of the World" and some new blood, heavy metal legends Metal Church picked up where their aptly titled last release "Masterpeace" left off. In 2006, twenty years after their cult album "The Dark", Metal Church presented their brand new release, "A Light In The Dark", forging a creative arch that skillfully links the band's past with the present. Ten new tracks, (plus a new version of the classic "Watch The Children Pray", a tribute to original frontman David Wayne), document the development of a band that, despite all innovation, has never denied it's typical trademarks. The current lineup consists of Kurdt Vanderhoof, Ronny Munroe, Jay Reynolds, Steve Unger and new addition Jeff Plate on drums. "Jeff is an incredibly dynamic and professional drummer," Vanderhoof points out. "He has propelled us to a musical level that surprised even ourselves." Plate has replaced Kirk Arrington, who left the group for health reasons, and proves a real stroke of luck on "A Light In The Dark". In 2008, guitarist Jay Reynolds was replaced by Rottweiler guitar player Rick Van Zandt. This Present Wasteland, Metal Church's ninth release, is a return to their roots and contains some of their strongest material to date. Get ready to join the congregation!

Ancient Raleigh road bike- safe to ride? I have an ancient Raleigh 12-speed road bike. I bought it many years ago and even then it was pretty old- if I had to guess, mid-80's at newest and maybe even 70s (the shifters aren't index, for example). I had to do a bit of work on it then, as it appeared to have been pretty heavily used- for example a few spokes actually broke on me so I replaced them all. I myself have used the bike pretty gently. Anyway, someone recently raised the possibility that I should worry about metal fatigue on such an old frame. The frame is a lugged Reynolds chrome-moly steel.
Broken bicycle frame (steel): can I have it welded? Details included::? This is a fairly complicated question for someone with a lot of bicycle experience. I have an old dawes racer. It has a label that it is a Reynolds 5?1 frame. I cannot read the middle digit, but assume it is a 3, that is: a 531 Reynolds frame. It broke on the freewheel side of the frame just before it connected to the rear wheel, Just above the slot for the rear wheel with the threaded hole for the rear derailleur below it, There is a small triangular section, a bit over an inch on each side, that connects this 'part' of the frame to the main frame tubes, and both sides ofthis little triangle broke, again, just after the tubes, well, just past where they stop being tubes and become flat and join this triangle arrangement. Can I have this welded? Maybe the inside of the triangle could be filled in with metal, but would it be strong enough to trust? I have JUST put new drive cogs/chain/freewheel and shifters on the bike, and I would very much prefer not having to start over! Thanks for any help you can offer. Wow! What an extraordinary response! It is difficult to pick a "Best" when so many of the responses have been really helpful and informative, and clearly based on long-term experience. Now I'd like to learn more about MIG (and TIG) welding, not to mention the various brazing techniques. So the responses have also set me off in a new direction. Many many thanks to all!
Movie watchers: what are your guilty pleasures? Here are mine: 1. The Warriors (1979): This one is about a New York City street gang who, after a disastrous conclave with other gangs, has to run and fight their way back to their home turf, about fifty miles away, in the course of one night. The acting is awful and the dialogue is hilarious, but there's something about this movie, mostly the way it was photographed, that keeps me coming back to watch it. 2. Smokey and the Bandit (1977): This movie had Burt Reynolds at his peak. It is utterly implausible and ridiculous, but this movie, with its inane plot of bootlegging beer across state lines, still does it for me. The car chases are pretty good, and Jackie Gleason as the sheriff is great. I dare anyone to listen to "Eastbound and Down" without tapping their toe. 3. National Lampoon's Animal House (1978): This is the granddaddy of all the raunchy comedies that are popular today, such as "The Hangover" and "The 40-Year-Old Virgin". The movie is crass and juvenile, to be certain, but it features the late, great John Belushi at his best, and I absolutely love the ending. 4. Heavy Metal (1981): As much as I hate to say it, this movie, more than any other, defined my generation. A series of violent, very adult cartoons based on a glowing, evil green ball from space, it featured metal music at its peak and all the faux-nihilistic attitude that went along with it. This is one of those movies you either love or hate, no middle ground. 5. Conan the Barbarian (1982): Yup, the one I'm most embarrassed to admit to. Good ol' Arnold Schwarzenegger at his sword-swinging best. Dismembered limbs and spurting blood galore. Arnold's dialogue is, as always, priceless. Nobody delivers as much cheese and campiness as he does. And I never fail to watch it if I catch it on TV.

How did I break the bushings, I just tightend my trucks when I noticed it, My trucks are stiff because thats how I like them, But could tightening them cause this ?
the rest of my book- whoever read the first half (on another question)? Ok so someone said they'd like to read the rest of my book, so here it is so far: “Kevin, even when I go off to college, I will call you every day and write to you and come home every time I can. You know that I love you more than any other person in the world, right?” she held my shoulders and looked into my eyes. “Right?” My eyes climbed up her face, finally resting on hers. “Right,” I said at last. “Good,” she said, leaping up from the couch. “Let’s go back to the party.” August came. It was cold and blustery and made me really appreciate Summer. On the 31st, I woke up very crabby. I slumped downstairs and slouched onto a chair. I stared down blandly at my Mini Wheats and grabbed my spoon. Leslie was sitting next to me eating a blueberry muffin. Today, she was being grumpy with me. I nodded to her muffin. “Is it any good?” she shook her head lazily, “not really.” I dragged myself back upstairs and got dressed for my first day of third grade. Now, as you may have noticed, I am telling a story from my memory. In reality, I am not a 8-year-old boy on his first day of third grade. But that is all I remember. On our way to school, we were talking cheerfully about what this year would contain for us. Leslie was going into seventh grade, and I into third. It was a step up for both of us. Leslie was talking about how she hadn’t seen her friends for the whole summer, and then I blacked out. When I woke up, it took about five minutes for my vision to return completely. I was in a cold hospital bed with at least ten bouquets of flowers on tables in my room. There was a sack of blood hanging on a metal hook next to me and a tube running under my blanket. On my other side was a heart monitor and a clipboard, with a doctor’s messy writing all over it. I hadn’t realized that my head had gone up, but when I did, I laid it back down. I closed my eyes and tried to remember what had happened. Just then, I heard footsteps and a curtain open, so I shut my eyes. The doctor, well, who I assumed was a doctor, walked around the room and I could hear the scratching of a pencil and him lifting things and setting them down again. He sighed, then left the room. I opened my eyes again and tried to sit up more directly, but my body wouldn’t do it, so I just laid there in silence. I heard people coughing and heart monitors beeping and doctors murmuring in the rooms around me. It must have been an hour until someone else walked in. It was a nurse and she came in and did the same things the doctor had done. When she looked at me though, she gasped. “He’s.. he’s.. he-” then ran out of the curtain and returned about two minutes later with a doctor. I heard him dismiss her and then he walked into the room. He looked into my eyes. “Can you hear me, Kevin?” I tried to say yes, but my mouth just creaked open and didn’t produce any sound. He shined a flashlight in my eyes and told me to look left then look right. Then he took the room phone off the hook and dialed. “Hello, Mrs. Hansen? This is Dr. Reynolds.” He paused and tapped his pencil on his clipboard. “Please come to the hospital as soon as possible. He’s awake.” He then clicked the phone down and looked over at me. “We have to run a few brain and heart tests to make sure you’re okay, is that alright, Kevin?” For the next hour and a half, I was put into machines and looked at and after a while, it got annoying. Eventually I was sent back to my room, and when I got there my parents were sitting in the white chairs against the wall. My mom stuttered and covered her mouth and my dad patted her shoulder, smiling at me. My bed was wheeled back to its original spot, and I looked over at my parents. Just then, my mom removed my dad’s arm and shuffled up to me, as if I would break if she got too close. “Honey, Kevin? Are you okay?” I looked at her like she was weird. I was fine. The doctor then walked back in with a small stack of papers and read them off. “His brain activity is normal, and there is no obvious damage to his muscular structure, his nervous system is taking a while to recover, but he should be up and running in a few hours, his heart is in perfect condition. Kevin, how do you feel?” I looked up at him and spoke. “What happened?” With that, my mom started sobbing and my dad hugged her tightly. The doctor pulled up a swivel-chair and sat down next to me. He looked very sympathetic. “Kevin, you were in a car accident. You have been in a coma for the past three years.” I looked at my parents, and back at the doctor. Three years? I couldn’t comprehend anything. I must be 11 years old, and I had missed my whole third, fourth, and some of my fifth grades. “What else?” My mom looked at me. “Honey, we thought you wouldn’t make it. We were going to take you off of life support in four months.” I looked at her as if she were a strange alien from outer space. “Where is Leslie?” The doctor looked at my parents, and back to me, and to my parents again. My mom was crying, so my dad
How is this conclusion paragraph? It's a research paper and it's about bad driving habits. This is the conclusion paragraph. I just want to know if it makes sense and sounds good... Our ability to cause harm to ourselves and others by our own carelessness is not something that should be taken lightly. Yet millions of Americans are buying SUVs thinking they are safer even though they are “three times more likely to die in a rollover accident than someone in a car (Reynolds).” It’s simply a higher center of gravity that makes this true. Perhaps that’s true for humans as well. When you get behind the wheel, you have a higher sense of security, probably due to the thousands of pounds of metal that surrounds us. You get a sort of invincible feeling and a blind faith that nothing bad will happen to you. You put your trust into the driver you are tailgating that he will never have the need to make any sudden stops. So the next time you catch yourself committing one of these bad habits, you’ll be able to recognize it right away and stop it before the unthinkable happens and you become unrecognizable after being thrown from your higher sense of security. Thank you very very much for taking the time to read this and add your opinions or corrections.
