Music--Nick+E,+Nick+G

Hello, in this blog about music I’m going to be talking about the new Gibson’s Robot guitar, which is coming out this December 15. The new Gibson’s Robot guitar is not a robot, it’s just a guitar that can tune it self so you don’t have to. But what I’m really going to talk about is the debate against the new guitar. Lots of people don’t like the fact that Gibson’s is starting to make robot guitar. Heir’s what some people are saying, “We want tonal wood, strings, magnets, and a classic look, plugged into a Marshall or another tube amp. Keep to what made you the best rock guitar company in the world” and they want to know if the guitar can be tuned manually. Those are question that people have well that all the information I have right now so comment back and tell me what you think and if you want to find out your own information go to [] so there you have it.
 * __ The debate against the new Gibson’s guitar. __**

 **__The history of ScreamO. __** This blog is about the music of ScreamO. ScreamO is a genre of music which predominantly evolved from hardcore punk. ScreamO music is a more aggressive offshoot of Emo that developed in San Diego in 1991. In the early 2000s, the genre of ScreamO music began to describe a different, slower and less dissonant style that borrowed from Alternative rock. So there you have it, that some of the history behind ScreamO if you want more information go to [] well I hope you like my blog so comment back.

Is this written in your own words...doesn't fit with your earlier style. Who does ScreamO appeal to? What are the names of some of the bands? What is the point of this music? What message are the artists trying to convey? Ms. Darga

I think that is very cool, but how does the guitar know what to tune itself to? - Zubair12354

**__ The debate against the new Gibson’s guitar, cont. __**

Hi, I’m back to talk about why some people dislike the new Gibson Robot guitar. In the last blog I talked about how some people didn’t like how Gibson was going over to robot technology. Some people said that they don’t want a robot guitar; they want a guitar with tonal wood, strings, magnets, and a classic look, plugged into a Marshall or another tube amp. They think that Gibson’s should stay to what made them the best rock guitar company in the world. But a robot guitar would be pretty cool, if it looks cool, and something good about this is, it can tune it self in 10to25sec depending on how many strings you’re tuning. The guitar knows what to tune to by turning a knob (the one lit up in the picture) to the type of tone you want. For example, if you want a drop D tune you just turn the knob to the drop D then the guitar drop’s it to drop D. But there one problem, robot guitar’s cause problems in manufacturing and some issues making to the stores. After one hundred reached consumers and initiated a complete redesign. The great difficulty of this very high-tech guitar has only allowed about 500 units to be made in 2009 with a possibility of 1000 more being shipped by the end of the year, but all these guitars were sold and Gibson’s does not intend to make this guitar again. Instead, Gibson’s came out with the Dusk Tiger. So there you have it well that’s all I have right now but I’ll be righting more about the Dusk Tiger in my next blog, but if you want for information go to [|Gibson Robot Guitar]so comment back and tell me want you think.

 * Dusk Tiger: New Robot Guitar From Gibson **

**//__ The story of Anvil __//** Hello in this blog I’ll be talking about the band Anvil. Anvil was a heavy metal band, a band that went no where. Probably a lot of you don’t know what I’m talking about; well there probably one reason because like I said it was the band that went no where. Even ask Steve Kudlow or known as lip’s, how his band Anvil, overcame a lot of bad management, such as dead colleague, cruddy jobs, unpaid tour bills, raging arguments and now mockery as a Spinal Tap clone, and he has one word: "kismet." Anvil still play’s show’s, but back in the 80’s, when the band did a Japanese show with the band’s Whitesnake, Bon Jovi and the Scorpions and became a model for groups such as Metallica and Anthrax, those band’s went somewhere accept for Anvil. Gervasi followed the band to an ill-fated European tour, he watched them make an album with a name producer,  and saw Kudlow and Reiner fight and make up, fight and make up, as they have since they were 15 and swore they'd rock forever. Then in 2008 they started to make a movie “The story of Anvil” that's earned rave reviews, is gradually rolling out across the country and has reawakened interest in Anvil. Well there you have it that’s all I got but if you want more information on Anvil or the movie go to http://www.cnn.com/2009/SHOWBIZ/Movies/05/27/anvil.film/index.html well there you have it, hope you like it good bye.

Nick, You need to copy and paste this into Word and use the grammar and spell check to begin making corrections. You also need to embed that link into your text. Good start, but it's very hard to understand. Ms. Darga
