How To Make A 3gp Play On A Phone

I do not want to hear it!

There's nothing to do, I feel guilty for not having yet made a fitting tribute to Ian Mackay : undisputed leader della leggenda Minor Threat (una delle formazioni più influenti dell'intero panorama rock), nonché iniziatore della Dischord Records .
Nati dalle ceneri dei Teen Idles , fondati con Jeff Nelson ai tempi del college, i Minor Threat di Washington DC sono la band hardcore per antonomasia , non l'unica, non la prima, ma La band hardcore: se dovessi descrivere ad uno appena sbarcato sulla terra il movimento... ecco, proprio loro sarebbero i primi a cui farei riferimento, sia a livello musicale che concettuale.
I primi 2 EP (l' autointitolato e " In My Eyes , "both in 1981) and claim instituted permanently would lead then to a series of genesis and evolution: the example is thrash metal, which surely owes much to this degeneration of the punk classic. Above all," firstborn "was highly significant: in addition to presenting a condensed violence rarely heard in a few seconds earlier, also led to the birth of the famous movement" Straight Edge "(who married in the middle, ed), which emphasizes values \u200b\u200bin contrast with classic clichés of rock: or aversion to the excesses and debauchery, then (more ...) due to prevailing coglionazzi emulating the merdaccia by the name of Sid Vicious.
I think the size of Minor Threat, and a brilliant mind like that of Ian, has been precisely to combine the skill and vision as musicians than the real role models of a community. Community, which over time is incredibly impoverished, but certainly not their fault.
Going back to music ... in the two works mentioned above, if not the actual counts Minor Threat, without a doubt the most savage and primitive. Unfortunately, the toy threatened to break almost immediately: during the time between the publication of In My Eyes and one of the first album " Out of Step" (the band's only LP, 1983) the band split for a short time, only to reform at the request of HR of Bad Brains, adding to our line-up with guitarist Steve Hansgen , which allowed it to previous bassist Brian Baker to open the second guitar.
"Out of Step" had certain elements of change, albeit slight, in the past: the first thing that immediately jumps to the eyes and ears is the duration of individual songs, some of which well over two minutes, and, while remaining quite aggressive and fast, break away from hardcore purest and intransigent of the beginning: of course, remain 100% Minor Threat but travel the road of evolution but of their gender, genre, hardcore, fantastic in many ways but certainly limiting for others.
After this album the band broke up (because of disagreements on musical direction to take) in '85 and went posthumously last EP " Salad Days", the final step towards the end of this project and the beginning the new, much shorter experience Embrace first of the famous Fugazi .
Returning to the "threat" if you get an idea of \u200b\u200bthe magnitude of the band get yourself the "Complete Discography ", which not only include the work described above, and gives us a couple of missed unpublished.
Here is a small testimony of the "mayhem" that erupted regularly at their concerts, which does nothing but increase the Magone to all those who, to clear issues to personal, we have lost that time ...
