The most awesome movie ever made. Two punk kids from the 80's (Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter) go back in time with a phone booth.

Get the bill and ted's excellent adventure mug.On the guitar, finger tapping is the act of plucking a string with your right hand middle finger (the most common "tapping finger"), either open or fretted, and then hammering on the fretboard with the same finger. Usually you will do hammer-ons/pull-offs with your left hand in between the time that your right hand is tapping.
Tapping can be very simple, e.g. 2 finger tapping where you are simply playing a fast trill (like Toccata and Feuge in D Minor), or it can be very complicated like Buckethead's 10 finger tapping.
Many people claim that Eddie Van Halen invented multiple finger tapping, others say it was Billy Sheehan or Randy Rhoads, etc. But it was definitely Van Halen who brought it to the main stream audience in the 80's.

Get the finger tapping mug.Guitarist that is famous for using (and perhaps inventing) 10 finger tapping, even utilizing his thumbs. He wears a KFC bucket on his head and Michael Myers mask covering his face.
I don't care what "GuitarOne" says, I guarantee that Buckethead can tap more notes per second than someone like Yngwie can sweep pick.

Get the buckethead mug.Pseudo-intelligent idiots who dress and act a certain way in attempt to fit into the "emo" subculture. That's all they are -- they're not original, they're not sophisticated, they're shallow little teenage shitbags who want sex from like-minded emo shitbags.
I'm into photography, I took many of the first pictures that were put up on this website. I don't take pictures of myself in a mirror and post them under "emo" and "scene".
I play the guitar too, and I can say that 99% of all emo songs consist of power chords and simple pentatonic solos played in the same key. They don't have any real emotion, just gaudy over-fermented lyrics. Real emotion = Steve Vai or Jeff Beck.

Get the emo girls mug.Guitarist for the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Also a solo artist as of recently. Very creative, uses a lot of heavy distortion, compression, and delay effects.
Frusciante plays economically on the pepper's studio albums, but has some wicked solos on their live ones.

Get the john frusciante mug.emo girls are easy to get into the sack but theyre usually really dirty. they dont have much self esteem cuz they feel they have to dress and act a certain way to get acceptance.

Get the emo girls mug.The "Scene" typically refers to a hardxcore or emocore subculture where fashion and physical appearance are held in higher regard than the actual music itself. So closely related to fashioncore that the two terms are interchangable in most scenarios.
The scene is a slap in the face to real musicians. The contention of the scene is that it's basically cool to be a poser.
Characteristics that scene kids usually have:
- pretend to be guitarists when all they're likely able to play are open/power/barre chords
- hair that's long in the front and short in the back (e.g. a devilock or emo hair)
- overly-tight pants. the scene guys usually wear misses size womens pants.
- overly-tight shirts with the name of the crappiest/most obscure band you can find. also wear "vintage" shirts that are bought from ebay or thrift stores (e.g. a shirt from a rolling stones concert in the 1970's while the kid wearing it was born in the 1980's).
- lots of facial piercings... gauged ears (usually 0g or more), septum piercing, double lip piercings (snake bites), labret piercing, etc.
