    The listener will be treated to one of the earliest live assaults by the band that truly flipped the Rock n Roll world upside down and helped drive metal music into the minds and hearts of millions. You can hear a young, brash David Lee Roth explaining the tune’s origin to the crowd: “This is a song about living with your parents!”

  3. Untitled

    I am so providential
    I do not have to cry.
    When the brow first furrow
    The light rains commence.
    Then comes the sideways rains
    Praise, praise rifts the chants.
    Who not know your suffering saves.
    Love is left bound.
    Girded like a small slave child.
    As the wind moves to the with a hailing wail
    Picking up speed of a misplaced gale
    Prayer that tears not suffer a soul
    Praise has said our crops be fed.

    There's a lot of talented members here and it's time we had some fun with this. Once the grooves,keys and delegation of parts are agreed on, we'll need some basic rules.

    1. Once a basic drum track has been laid down and passed around, it's entire length cannot be altered. Reason: to keep the count in preserved and it will make it easier to sync to when loading and aligning the track/s into each of our recording stations to play along (As we all tend to use different DAW's). Same goes for any other instruments or vocals...

    2. All tracks to be recorded @ 24 bit/ 44.100 sample rate.

    3. All tracks should be recorded dry. VST's should only be added @ the mixing stage> of course myself and Jay will be adding cabinets in post tracking via Recabinet. ( The Recabinet option will be available to anyone who opts to go direct with their guitar or bass tracking).

    Well that's a start. I'm sure we'll add rules as along the way...

    As for "producer/mixer/mastering guy", I will throw my hat in the ring . I have my own studio running Nuendo 2 (upgrading to N4 very soon) and I have the time to put in to dedicate to the cause... (Jus' sayin')

    Discuss....
  5. Feds to remotely delete Coreflood from infected PCs

The move comes in the in the wake of a coordinated takedown earlier this month by the FBI and other authorities, in which the U.S. government essentially substituted its own command-and-control servers in place of those used by Coreflood and issued commands telling the program to shut down on infected PCs. The move reduced activity from the Coreflood botnet by about 90 percent in the United States and by nearly 75 percent worldwide. However, infected PCs still have dormant Coreflood software on them, and the feds would like to get rid of it.



    A U.S. District Judge approved the Department of Justice’s request for a preliminary injunction that authorizes the action, giving authorities until May 25 to contact owners of systems infected by Coreflood and obtain consent to remotely remove it from their machines. However, the DOJ actually argued it didn’t need a judge’s permission to move on its deletion campaign, since it will be seeking written consent from owners of infected systems before going through with the deletion.

    Based upon technical evaluation and testing, the Government assesses that the command sent to the Coreflood software to stop running will not cause any damage to the victim computers on which the Coreflood software is present, nor will it allow the Government to examine or copy the contents of the victim computers in any fashion.

    Federal authorities have not specified how many machines it has identified as candidates for a remote wipe of Coreflood. Industry estimates of the size of the Coreflood botnet at the time of its takedown were between 2 million and 2.5 million systems.
