February 6[edit]

I'm having iTunes issues[edit]

Hi people. I'm having problems with iTunes and my music store. Some time ago, I came on to my computer and I saw that my entire music library was gone. I asked someone who had had this problem and they gave me some tips, but they aren't working. If anybody has anything to say, please share it. Thanks.--CJ King 01:49, 6 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

All I can say is back up next time. If you put your library on a DVD if your computer crashes then you still have it. But, check your Hard Drive. Look around for the music. Maybe the folder was just moved or something. Good luck :-) Ilikefood 22:18, 6 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

If you bought a bunch of the songs off of iTunes, you can re-download them without having to pay for them again. I've forgotten exactly how but there is a way to do so. Dismas|(talk) 22:41, 6 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Zardoz[edit]

Who played the male lead in this film (not Sean Connery)--DarkFuture 10:17, 6 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

What do you mean? Sean Connery's character clearly was the male lead. Otherwise, I think you should check out imdb.com . 惑乱 分からん 11:24, 6 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
See Zardoz. Perhaps you are thinking of John Alderton? (Man, that film was weird!)--Shantavira 13:20, 6 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Are you referring to the title character? If you are, Niall Buggy played Arthur Frayn/Zardoz. - Zepheus <ゼィフィアス> 21:07, 7 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

sub genres of thrash metal[edit]

What are the sub-genres of thrash metal?? (on the trash metal section on wikipedia say that black metal and death metal are sub genres of thrash metal, but black and death metal are not sub-genres, they are genres of metal.)

"Death Thrash"? "Black Thrash"? Anyway, I think genre classification might get out of hand sometimes, and I'm not a metal expert... =S 惑乱 分からん 19:10, 6 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Next they will want to know the sub1-sub2-sub3-...-subn-genre of thrash metal. − Twas Now ( talkcontribse-mail ) 07:33, 7 February 2007 (UTC) I hope some mathies appreciate my bad joke.[reply]

NO, i will give a exemple of what I want to know : there is metal, there is the genre of metal called doom metal and there the sub-genre of doom metal that are drone doom, funeral doom, traditional doom....... So i want to know the sub-genres of thrash metal (the sub-genres in the trash metal articles are wrong because they say that black metal and death metal are sub-genres of thrash metal, but they are genres of metal, like doom metal, thrash metal, folk metal and industrial (and others) are.

Our article on thrash metal does mention three significant regional scenes, plus the thrash-related blackened thrash metal and crossover thrash subgenres. You're right; the sub-genres listed in the thrash infobox at the top of the page aren't very good; I'd say they're more genres that followed thrash than they are subgenres. I don't know enough about infoboxes to easily remove them myself. That being said, aside from (small) regional differences and the hybrid genres I referred to above, I'd say that there aren't really any subgenres of thrash metal, certainly any uniformly accepted set. Let's have some perspective; this was a genre of music whose heyday was about 6 years long, and was played by four major bands and perhaps a few dozen bands notable in any way. At some point, it gets silly trying to reduce the bands, albums and songs into sub-sub-sub-genres, and it's easier talking about the specific differences between Beneath the Remains and Reign in Blood rather than trying to invent some sort of Darker Brazilian Thrash Metal and Punk Influenced High Speed Social Thrash Metal subgenres or whatever to describe them. --ByeByeBaby 02:22, 8 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
