sphinxsix Posted December 4, 2018 Author Share Posted December 4, 2018 Eagles. Metal ones. Which is the best metal version of 'Hotel California'.? The inspiration came from @christopher3393 who woke me up today (at 2:00 PM ) with some heavy sounds. JORN - pretty faithful to the original version with just some added weight. OUR LAST NIGHT - the vocalist is IMO a touch too soft but he wakes up at 4:00. Great drums! And finally my favorite one - BAPTIZED UNDER FIRE. IMHO everything about this version is simply AWESOME! In particular the vocalist/drummer's performance - so effortless... ENJOY!!! Link to comment

Popular Post Ralf11 Posted December 17, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted December 17, 2018 TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) - A foul-mouthed parrot, who was kicked out of an animal sanctuary for swearing too much, is using technology to cause even more trouble. The Times of London reports Rocco, an African grey, has been using Amazon Alexa to shop online while his owner was away. His owner, Marion Wishnewski told the newspaper she was shocked to find that her Amazon account suddenly had pending orders for various snacks, including watermelon and ice cream and also a kettle. “I have to check the shopping list when I come in from work and cancel all the items he's ordered,” Wischnewski told The Daily Mail. Rocco was rescued by the National Animal Welfare Trust (NAWT) earlier this year after being found as a stray. His foul mouth got him removed from the sanctuary, but Wischnewski, who works there, adopted him. She said Rocco's love for Alexa goes beyond material things. He also uses the device to listen to his favorite music (Kings of Leon). "I’ve come home before and he has romantic music playing," Wischnewski said. "He loves to dance and has the sweetest personality.and romantic tunes." African grey parrots (Psittacus) are particularly noted for their advanced cognitive abilities and their ability to mimic speech. Hugo9000, sphinxsix and christopher3393 1 1 1 Link to comment

Ralf11 Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 interesting that it ordered food -- some additional testing might be able to show some cognitive links I've often thought it would be fun to use technology to link parrots to each other, as well as dolphins to other dolphins...
