Pet Peeves

My phone died and I lost loads of photos and lyrics. Hoping I can see retrieve them as I'm close to having an album or demo or something recorded music- wise and kind of need some words

Ask yourself here "what would Kirk Hammett do?" 

Shit though to lose stuff off the phone. The wife dropped her phone in water and lost a years worth of photos that she hadn't backed up. Mainly pics of the kids etc so a real annoyance to lose them.

Lost a phone last year with a plethora of riffs and lyrics. Annoying but fuck it, had to just go again.

[Bürggermeister]

Shit buzz losing riffs, for sure. On the topic of phones, what the fuck is going on with the people who hold one end of the phone to their ear to listen, with the mic side pointing outwards to nowhere, then hold the mic up to their mouth to speak with the speaker side pointing outwards? Is there a generation who haven't learned you can hold the thing to the side of your face and accomplish two tasks at once?

Any ideas or riffs that I don't tab out in Guitar Pro on the computer I usually send it from my phone to my Gmail just in case of that type of thing happening. Good habit to get into as I lost things like that ten years ago, pain in the hole.

First I take it you didnt back it up anywhere online. Second a good technician in a shop should be able to get into your phone. What make is it?

It's a Samsung... possibly 9... a black rectangular thing with a screen. I couldn't be entirely sure.

Black rectangular thing lol.

So as it's a samsung a reputable samsung dealer will have software that can access the phone. As long as theres no severe physical damage it should be easy enough to get off the phone. Now you can download software online to do it but it's a pain in the ballsack. There might be a fee for retrieving the data but the album sales will more than pay that back 

[Eoin McLove]

Haha, class. I'll greet onto that so 

Greet. Maybe my Scottish overlords know more than I do...

I was more annoyed about the lyrics, I find them a lot more taxing than writing riffs but I have done exactly that with the lyrics now.

[astfgyl]

If they're good enough you'll remember them.

That's why I have no songs

[Eoin McLove]

Nah, I had some lyrics I was very happy with but fucked if they are conning back to me now 

[Carnage]

I lost a phone full of lyrucs 20+ years ago but when I tried to rewrite them I realised that they were shite, gothy, adolescent crap and that I'd dodged a bullet by not using them. Not suggesting for a second that this is the case with your stuff, but if it meant that much, you should have no trouble coming back to the same lyrical place.

Lyrics and heaps of riffs and photos retrieved

Hammett rides again!
