Randy, by far. Not because he died, but because he truly had a presence on the guitar that was felt. His playing had personality, a defining characteristic that as soon as you hear it, you know it's Randy. IMO, putting Zakk Wylde in the same poll as Randy is blasphemy. But that's cause I can't stand...

Pantera - Walk
Opeth - Deliverance
Arch Enemy - Nemesis

Oddly, I had always envisioned Linden as a rather slim, almost too-skinny/model type figure with a rather flat chest and, well, severe features. SRD loved to use the word "severe" to describe Linden in the second Chrons, and I guess I applied that to her whole look, not just personality. O...

You make a good point. It does seem that Mhoram was the only one that was able to come to terms with his inadequacy and use what he learned for good. I wouldn't be surprised if he makes an appearance at the beginning of the next one as one of Covenant's Dead. As far as the Haruchai, they haven't dea...

I currently have 23 hairs on my chest.

Yes, I counted.

God, I need a life...

www.mikeportnoy.com/forum/tm.aspx?m=1808120 That is a thread on a forum I've been frequenting for several years now. The thread was started to cheer people up after one of our very beloved forum members died from a sudden illness, and it's got some of the best LOLCAT/Caturday pics I've ever seen. Gr...

So, in short, if Roger and the croyel had traveled back in time without Linden, the Elohim would have showed up and pummeled Roger back into his proper time (or worse). Linden was Roger's "insurance policy" against the Elohim. And again - since the Elohim have said that they don't care ab...

I don't think that the Haruchai is what drove Kevin to despair, at least not themselves. They were simply being what they were; passionate beings. It was Kevin's inability to deal with their passion and loyalty, and I think it was this inadequacy that drove Kevin to despair. Much in the same way tha...

Luckily I was able to stay away froms spoilers before reading the book. Overall I felt it was an amazing installment. I remember my heart breaking for Linden when she discovered that her son was the victim of a croyel and not the exuberant youth she was led to believe. I felt that scene truly helped...

Have you checked out Liquid Tension Experiment? It's 3/5 of DT, plus Bill Bruford and Tony Levin (and without LaBrie's vocals, which I really don't like ;-) ). Bumping to correct a mistake here. Bill Bruford DID NOT play in Liquid Tension Experiment. It was Mike Portnoy (from DT) who played drums, ...

John Petrucci of Dream Theater has had some mighty tasty tones. Check out "Kindred Spirits" from the Liquid Tension Experiment stuff he did, or "In The Presence Of Enemies Pt. 1" from the Systematic Chaos album.

And, of course, the godfather of tone: David Gilmour.

Hey, guys. Been a while since I posted here (and not much from my post count), but I've gotten back into the series, so I hope to be posting more. I've scoured Google for Thomas Covenant related wallpapers, but can't seem to find any. Do you guys know of some hidden resource? That would be awesome. ...

Just finished FR myself, I think it took me about a week or so to get through it. I'm a fairly slow reader, but it got me in the mood to go back and re-read the Second Chronicles. Think this wait is long? Try being a Robert Jordan fan. P.S. I mean no disrespect with the Jordan comment. I was crushed...

Hey, long time since I visited. Reading the Chronicles once again, and I'm more than convinced that you take Gregory House and make him darker and more bitter, and you have Covenant. Plain and simple.

You know, I never thought of Hugh Laurie as a possible TC, but thinking about it, I can't think of a more perfect actor. And I also never knew he was British. Being an American, all I've seen him in is House, which I think he is stellar in, and it kinda blows me away that he's British. I guess he's ...

Well, since the name of the forum says to expect spoilers, I'm going to talk freely here. I'm fairly convinced that the person that Linden sees is NOT Thomas Covenant. Remember that the second book will be called "Fatal Revenant", and that the word revenant means ghost (for the most part),...

You've been watching Clerks again, haven't you?

And what of those that use the lomilliar in conjunction with the fruit trees, thus obtaining Lore that is, for the most part, free from the corruption of Lore XP, whilst maintaining a relationship with those of Open Lore, creating a "best of both lores" situation? Albeit, this Lore can onl...

Exigency or exigencies was a word I noticed many times.

This is absolutely hilarious stuff!!!
