Good lord, two topics on this town!!! That article reads like a piece from The Onion.

QUOTE(bmags @ Aug 30, 2005 -> 07:03 PM) oh, well, i haven't listened to it cause i think green day sucks... LOL!!! Then what the hell are we talking about this for! Hahaha! Here I thought you liked them and were defending them, but instead you're playing devil's advocate? Good stuff there in that response! LOL!

It's really sad when I actually have to say something nice about Jackson. But hey...nice going...

I'm thinking of going back to college to become a veterinarian. My wife has been telling me for years I need to work with animals, and I am so friggin' pissed at the lowsy care my pets have always recieved, I am damn near about to do it. I just don't have the time nor finances right now. But as soon as my son goes off to school full time and my wife can start doing full time hours...I'm off.

Yeah but so much of the three chord thing has vanished, and that Green Day album was trying to be so much more than just a three chord Punk album. They were shooting for Clash-type respectability.

QUOTE(bmags @ Aug 30, 2005 -> 01:58 PM) i was adding on to your defense... Cool! Let's kick Flaxx ass!!!

QUOTE(Steff @ Aug 30, 2005 -> 01:52 PM) Kobe apologizing for rap.. err.. having sex with that girl from Colorado. I didn't know Kobe knew how to rap! He should hook up with that Kayne fella from Chicago. Heck, if they both Rap...they might already know each other.

QUOTE(bmags @ Aug 30, 2005 -> 01:28 PM) jeeze gimme a break man...while i don't really consider green day punk...(pop punk now), punk music has had ridiculously political lyrics and is based off of three freakin chords...i think complaining about it is ridiculous...thats always been the music...punk grew out form the gutters, the problem now is its growing out of rich suburbs...and it really ruins the sound... but i laugh at people getting mad at a punk band with radical politics...its pretty much the backbone of the genre. I said nothing about the lyrics. I know there are not too many original ideas in music anymore, but it is a different story when you are using blatant riffs, and signature riffs from songs. I've written many a song in my day, and I have thrown out many a song when I realized it was a little too close to another song. The problem is that there are so many riffs on that thing that you can't get away from being from other bands and songs. Too lift a riff from somebody who is REALLY obscure, and to do it from one of their obscure songs is one thing. But to lift from something like Cheap Trick is pretty sad. They were known for their friggin' riffs. And when you are basing your album on a serious political hotbed and making an album that is meant to be an artistic statement, "paying tribute" to your influences in using their riffs suddenly becomes a very poor choice. It demeens you original intent in artistic creativity, and it takes away from your seriousness when your audience is suddenly going "HEY! That's from the song "She's Tight" by Cheap Trick"!!! Though I guess there is some wacky intellectual innuendo there with singing about Bush and using "She's Tight". And punk has been spilling out of the "rich suburbs" since atleast 1984, as that is when I first shaved half my hair off my head. It isn't a new thing to be in the 'burbs, and if you think it has always been exclusive to the cities, even in it's inception, well, you are wrong. Kids have had angst since the day Adam turned 13.

QUOTE(bmags @ Aug 30, 2005 -> 01:34 PM) at least he's still writing his own songs ...(ahem...aerosmith) I was defending him.

http://www.cnn.com/2005/SHOWBIZ/Music/08/3...reut/index.html I loved Voi Vod, especially Killing Technology. I like the stuff I have heard with the return to style for them, but I haven't bought any of their stuff in years. He was too young though man. Was it him or Away that had already beat cancer back in the late 80's? More on the site: http://www.voivod.com/

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Aug 30, 2005 -> 11:41 AM) Well, better Yul Brenner than Peter Boyle. Not really...Boyle was in Young Frankenstein, thereby making him uber-cool, and he was brilliant as Frank Barone.

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Aug 30, 2005 -> 11:15 AM) Nah, Jeff (purple shirt) is definitely the hottie of the group. Aside from the fact that he has the facial features of a fetus in formaldehyde, that is. But he is always sleeping man. Funny story I have heard. I guess Jeff has had to move his house numerous times in Australia. I guess people have been driving into his driveway at 2 in thr morning, honking the horn, and screaming "WAKE UP JEFF"!!! LOL!

Exactly, all of my comparisons have been hair based. Next up os friggin' Yul Brenner. No, I always thought Bas was a whiny little b****.

Take your pick for the "hotty"!!!

QUOTE(ChiSoxyGirl @ Aug 30, 2005 -> 11:03 AM) Is Murry the hot one? I wouldn't know that. He is the red shirt. I would guess that Greg is the one most called "hot". The blue shirt guy.

In my younger days I got Sebastian Bach quite a bit. But...now I am bald. I think it was more of a hair comparison that anything else. Now I look more like Ed Harris. :rolly

Murry is cool. He was the last one to get back to the stage after the audience run through. During one song they go into the audience to meet the kids and sign stuff. They all got back on stage for the next song, EXCEPT FOR MURRY WHO STAYED OUT WITH EVERYBODY AND SHOOK HANDS SOME MORE!!! HOW EXCITING IS THAT!?!

QUOTE(The Critic @ Aug 30, 2005 -> 10:56 AM) Buddy Hackett ....that's right, ladieeeeeeees, I'm a LOOKER....... LOL!!! Not sure I see it...but that is pretty friggin' funny!

Rudolph Valentino Or Clint Howard.

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Aug 30, 2005 -> 10:38 AM) Yep, your street cred is just going through the roof, Bro. Hey, I am the purest definition of "cool" man, what can I do about it?

QUOTE(sox4lifeinPA @ Aug 29, 2005 -> 09:00 PM) I think they're good song writers... As long as they are copping everybody elses riff's not using one single idea of their own. The new album is a "who's who" of guitar riffs and hooks. I was shocked at how many riffs were "borrowed" on it. BUt as long as you attack the American government, people will claim you great no matter how many songs you steal.

QUOTE(the southside tiger @ Aug 30, 2005 -> 08:54 AM) I just got out of my first ever college course. Criminal justice. The teacher was pretty chill it seemed. It's starting to cool off now, do they still have the A/C running in the school? That's kind of a waste of electricity.

QUOTE(slick03 @ Aug 30, 2005 -> 10:16 AM) I know this is kind of late, but I went to the Motley Crue concert on saturday night at the Tweeter Center. I gotta tell you, that was easily the most entertaining concert I have ever been to. You should have gone to The Wiggles show at the All-State a few weeks ago! THAT was entertainment value for your dollar!!!

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Aug 30, 2005 -> 09:20 AM) Eh, I don't know if I'd call them stupid, how about ignorant? A lot of rock fans especially the younger ones just haven't been around long enough to know where it all comes from and see it's evolution. Hey, if Chris belts out 'Stay with me', I'll record it for ya. I'm talking guys my age, 35, why are also musicians, so I stand by stupid. If you play and are as old as me, you no longer can claim "ignorance". Hey, the Crowes have done numerous Faces covers (I think they even have done "Miss Judy's Farm"), and I have liked them all.

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Aug 29, 2005 -> 04:10 PM) I hope you knew I was just bustin' your balls. (Can I still say that?) I agree with you and feel the same way about a few other bands. I don't know what conversatiions you've had with Crowes fans, but all the ones I know are WELL aware of rock n roll history. Yeah, I knew them balls were busting, but I had to have my say. You mention my name, I have to up my post count. And as for the Crowes fans I have been talkign to, I guess I am only finding the stupid ones. It is a killer avatar, isn't it??? I found it on one of my Classic Horror film boards I frequent all the time. Glad ya like it!
