I think indeed the best members will stay, not that the other ones are no good
But we have to see what Fil has to do for this community… A great community that we have… This is for and from everyone… Fil spends a lot of time in this… And paying Fil for his work will make this community and this site even better!! I’m sure!! I follow Fil sinds the beginning, it was great then, but it becomes better and better!! Thanks Fil for your work and dedication!! Just ended the book “Why AC/DC matters?” from Anthony Bozza… It said everything!!
And great cover!! I love Slash a lot!! We must be real… He plays amazing solo’s , has some great riffs… The talent of this guy we can’t deny!! Grtz, J-L

Ah, Ian Astbury’s unmistakable voice…and what a great find. Thanks Fil for pointing

Good tune. Hopefully I can convince the parents to use their cards to pay for the website… I think this site is worth paying for, and frankly, I wouldn’t care if it was like $10-15 a month. If the website was able to make Fil use it as his job instead of whatever he’s doing now, that’d be great. Living the dream, so to speak. It’s just being a teenager I can’t pay for it (don’t have paypal/credit/etc), although with persuasion I might be able to convince the parents.

I’m in the same boat Hyce
about 5 months ago
Yeah. Couple of years and we won’t have this problem. haha.
I think if I can’t get a subscription the thing I’ll miss most is a good audience for my music; it’s hard to find people who like rock to see if it’s any good. I’d also wish that Fil would see some of it, but that doesn’t ever seem to happen.

I was wondering if he saw my song as well…

I haven’t. When I have time, I do watch Members video. But haven’t been doing that for a couple of weeks. Want me to?

Have fun Fil! i can guess it is difficult to find time for everything
maby a revamp of the user videos section is in order? in terms of layout and brows ability
about 5 months ago
Hm, any suggestions for this, Ant?
about 5 months ago
My suggestion
For Viewing
We break up the user videos into subgroups such as Latest, Performance, Gear and Other (funny or random stuff)
Then have the option to “filter” out by User, Band, Song ect
Then View
For Uploading
Pre selection criteria before upload
for instance on “Performance”
Select the appropriate subgroup it should reside (performance)
Select which Band
Select which Song ect
Description ie gear used
Then Upload
about 5 months ago
Oh throw Colaborations in the Subgroups too!
about 5 months ago
Hm, that would basically be a massive extension of the user videos section. Will think about implementation.
Btw, did you know that if a user has an active member profile page, the videos uploaded by that member will be shown on the members profile page?
about 5 months ago
Indeed i did ^^
Yea its quite a change
about 5 months ago
how do you make it active?
about 5 months ago
Good question
Behaviour changed probably a bit since I checked that the last time:
Every member has his own profile page, its always clickable from the “Members online” field in the upper right.
To get it clickable from a comment too, just change your personal homepage in your profile to the profile page.
Schema is: “http://www.solodallas.net/author/_username_/” where “_username_” is your login name here. For you it would be:
http://www.solodallas.net/author/anthonyportlock/ .

i cant find the option in the profile page though
about 5 months ago
Its the “Website” field on your profile page. Just put the link to your member page there
about 5 months ago
Ahhhh that bit, lol cheers
about 5 months ago
I’d love it. Feedback from you Fil would be amazing, honestly.
about 5 months ago
It should be in the 3-5 USD per month. I don’t intend to get wealthier from this
BUT be legal and pay what I have to pay, yes.
about 5 months ago
If ya get a couple minutes Fil, I’d love it if you’d give some feedback on my latest song. http://www.solodallas.net/i-dont-need-you-by-hyce/#comments

the news about having to pay saddens me because I don’t think I will be able stay then
…. My parents wouldn’t pay for me to access a guitar website unfortunately…
about 5 months ago
Don’t worry now, lets see how much it will be and then ask your parenta. This will NOT be a site for wealthy people only.
about 5 months ago
Wow! hehe. What a surprise!
I like this song. It has a nice feel going.
The main riff is a little tricky at first try – hehe.
You pulled it out really nicely.
Sounds great, Fil!
Oh… “Pay for”?
(As long as you don’t charge much – kidding! xD)
Any idea of how much the membership fee would be?
Don’t worry, I’m not leaving!
Hugs!

Hey Andre, buddy
It’s really important for us to keep the young people with us…they are the future of Rock’n Roll. So our goal is to make it affordable while still covering our costs. Don’t worry

Nicee i love slash…and Guns N’ Roses, lol it seems like im the only one in this forum to love guns n roses, whathever

Weyll, I liked them at the very end of my puberty, lol
But later I got upset about Axl’s misbehaviour and I believe so did Slash too

Nice song, nice performance, nice post – as always
about 5 months ago
Thats a pretty good song you chose there fil, which is suprising because I can’t really stand slash anymore. I wasn’t a big gnr fan either but they did have some stuff that was pretty good. Slash is like a lost soul today, he just shows up anywhere, he always on music award shows that have nothing to do with him like his pointless performance at the superbowl this past year.

Greg lake’s guitar!

And why you dont like gnr? In my opoinion appetite for destruction album is superb! Although I hate all those ballads, and what was happening with the band when time was passing.
Btw, imho lots of their live shows were , let’s say not too good
about 5 months ago
I never liked them, though I did try (I bought two or three original albums of theirs and studied them). The sound, I never grew to like it. Too…. fuzzy? As in, too much pre-amp gain sound. Additionally, but this is important to me especially growing older, I didn’t like the “people” in the band. The attitude. I could say I am relieved to understand that Slash and Rose don’t have a good relationship, as I do like Slash now, the current Slash. These among the first reasons that come to mind? With the due respect, naturally
about 5 months ago
Fil, seein as though you like the ‘current’ Slash a cover of Starlight would be fun
about 5 months ago
It’s great that you covered some slash stuff
about 5 months ago
awesome Fil, but how much will we have to pay for this?
about 5 months ago
We re trying to find out computating costs first.
We think “a few dollars” per month?
about 5 months ago
alright thats not so bad
i must say i never expected you to cover this song! and excuse my ignorance here but i’ve never heard of Zemaitis before, good guitar i presume??
about 5 months ago
Hey fil, I think its great that youd only be charging a few $ a month and not something rediculous, but for the first few months, why not charge just 1$ to see if u can keep most of the people here? If it works, that $7,500 a month if everyone stays here, but im not sure wat u wanna make money wise….just an idea
about 5 months ago
Maybe, but it seems to me the challenge is to get people to go over the pay vs. no pay hurdle – whether it’s $1 or few $ per month may not make a big impact, and people may get upset with a hike later on (ask netflix

BTW, Fil, would the thing you mentioned about dealing copyrights could be somehow extended to members? Oh well, will wait for the details
Cheers
about 5 months ago
by the way, great cover, Fil, rated 1+, in binary
I haven’t been following what Slash has been doing – I dig appetite for destruction though.
Cheers

Actually a good idea; but what Renato mentioned below is also important. All of this is food for thought for us (Franz and myself). Thank you
about 5 months ago
+1! Thank you, Renato!
about 5 months ago
Will there be just a yearly fee? or at least the ability to pay for many months in advance,
I think that would be much more simple, than paying by Month,
I know if I’m gonna pay for this great place,I’d like to get it out of the way and enjoy it lol.
Just pay for 12 months in advance
about 5 months ago
Also a good idea, will think about it. Thanks!
about 5 months ago
Awesome
but sad that we will have to pay for SD.net
about 5 months ago
dont be sad i see it as progress
, the website is getting more serious
I think the community here is the core of the website’s existance, i think $3 is a good and respectable price given the amount of members there are
maby you could do a trial for new members to give a “taste” of the website before paying?
about 5 months ago
Thank you, Ant, that’s our thoughts too. And thats just what we want, something that everyone can afford AND covers the costs AND keeps Fil seriously busy with the site.
Very good idea with the trial membership. Will probably keep this.

Great job Fil, didn’t know you didn’t like Guns ‘N’ Roses, lol

about 5 months ago
Oh, thank you
about 5 months ago
Computating, That’s the kind of vocabulary only a ‘Professor’ would use, lol.
If you’re gonna do something different, then you picked a good ‘un. F+ from me. Only F+ you say? Well, if Andrea’s scoring in Octal I’m scoring in Hex, again lol.

Class. This comment has Class. Not as in Professor Class (lol), but as in “stylish” Class. The Britons have Class, always had Class.

Hey fil, since your covering other bands, is there any chance we’ll hear a AIRBOURNE cover any time soon??? My second favorite band (behind AC/DC). You should check them out if you dont know them.
about 5 months ago
I’d be down to hear Fil cover some Airbourne,one of my favorite new bands.
Ready To Rock,Runnin’ Wild,and No Guts. No Glory.
Are 3 great albums, they really rock.
Don’t think he will though,just a hunch,lol
