Whoa...

I don't know if can think of 3.

Here's the deal, I can dislike and talk smack about all kinds of bands, but not that I'd want them "taken out," so to speak. (either taken as a mafia hit, or just never existing in the first place) Since the question was asked, and I feel compelled to answer- I'm going to say Creed. Creed, to me, is what "rock" would be if you sucked the life, spontinaetiy and vibrance out of rock. Like beer without the taste and the alcohol. It leaves me feeling empty, but I should still like it because it's "beer." Creed spawned so many other bands, most prominently Nickelback, that have that soul-less, over Pro-Tooled, Rhythm Doctored, Auto Tuned "rock" sound and STRIVE to sound like that... My theory as to why the state of live music is where it is... The kids that are hitting college and drinking age now are the ones who grew up with this. If Creed was my definition of "rock," I sure wouldn't go out for more of it.

That's it for the hatin'

Singer: Eric Carmen
Bass: James Jamerson
Guitar: Steve Jones
Guitar: Leslie West
Keys: Denis DeYoung.

That lineup would ****in' dominate.


I love Page's solo from "Achilles' Last Stand." It's like a story in and of itself.

Yeah, three was a bit too much to ask, really. I'm satisfied with the answer, and actually totally agree about it.
And the lineup ain't bad either.
Achilles FTW, one of the best of Page.

Describe the most hilarious onstage incident you've ever experienced.

Experienced?

I was doing a bunch of covers for a pub crawl. It was great because we really only needed like 45 minutes of material, and do it over and over again for fresh loads of people being dropped off. Our drummer was this little skinny kid, and our singer/guitar player was one of the most singularly talented individuals I've ever had the fortune of working with.

There was a LOT of liquor flowing at this thing. I got a little hammered, but the drummer kid got supa-hammered, and he had this big ox of a chick workin' him- think Mimi from the Drew Carey Show, with huge boobs eveloping this little scrawny Alfalfa lookin' kid.

I think bad things happened that night.


Also the singer got supa-hammered and was laying on the stage- with some chick pouring Dr.McGillicudy's down his throat.

That was nutz.

Weird Al, 1984, at the Old Style stage (over by the WLPX rock stage). I got an awesome picture of him when he jumped off the stage (all foot and a half of it) while singing "One More Minute."

i've said it before and i'll say it again ... if my sons grow up to be like TGB, i will have done a good job

to that end, what general approaches to parenting have you found most useful and least useful
Click to expand...

Wow. Thanks Bill. That's an amazing compliment.

I think my parenting skills suck. What I hope to be able to do is let the kids know WHY they're being corrected and be able to praise when they do things well. Sometimes it's hard to even see the little things that get done right- not to mention making a positive comment about something as trivial as being able to comb your own hair...

The least useful thing is getting angry and yelling because you're angry. Not only are you losing your self control, you're building resentment. Our kids clam up when they get resentful if you go too far. Then nobody wins.

I told you, my parenting skillz suck.

It's two big ol' electric taped coils of wire on either side of the pole pieces. Next time I have it apart, I'll shoot a pic.

If you could only eat one meal a day, where would you like to live when and if you bring a helicopter pilot to the prom?

Actually there were a few TI's. I think one was on HWY 100 also. They had that signature roof design that lasted on the buildings years after they shut down.

I was just talking to my boss about this- the one on 124th and Burleigh is still there, the front facade is entirely gone, but from the back you can see the roof.
I took guitar lessons from a friend at Bob Kames music. At least I think it that's what it was called. They were in a building on Forest Home near FreeStyle Graphics where I used to work. I don't think Kames is there still.

I saw Bob Kames at the WAMI awards- he got a 'lifetime achievement award." He's in a chair, so it wouldn't surprise me he's not in the business.

No, DiMarini's didn't move from Bay View. I moved to the 'burbs. I discovered there were at least 3 DiMarini's restaurants though, all split from a single one thanks to other family dramas I heard. The Bay View location still has awesome 'za.

I knew about the "family drama" but I'd also heard they'd patched things up. I don't know anyone in the family or anything... just what you hear "around."

Re: The Hardline According To... The Golden Boy- The Well Part XXII

Have you ever shoplifted? If so, what did you take?

Since we're the same age.....what were your favorite TV Shows and toys from the 70's/80's?

If you could take anyone you wanted, who had no prior political experience, and make them President, who would you choose?
 
Re: The Hardline According To... The Golden Boy- The Well Part XXII

Why are you ignoring me?

BTW, where did you cross the border into Iraq for your joyride?
 
Re: The Hardline According To... The Golden Boy- The Well Part XXII

No drummer in your ultimate lineup? is that on purpose?

Have you ever had an adult incontinence moment?

Did you take part in ration-swapping with the French troops? -I remember reading that they had the best food out of anyone in the coalition...

What are your most and least favorite tunes to play live?

If you were forced to wear a science fiction costume in public, what would it be?

late 70s fender/gibson: cool gear or overhyped junk?

Hey, TGB...

What is the worst awkward moment you've been in?

I don't know Brother Louie, right off the top of my head- although I remember the "louie louie louie louie- louie louie louie lou-eye" is familiar... Just for giggles, Hot Chocolate was originally an Apple Records artist... So I guess it's "Louie Louie."

Which do/would you play live?

I guess it's "Louie Louie."


Forget that! Who's the hottie in the background left of center near the top of the seating section?

That's actually a Detroit Lions fan by the name of Irma Rothstein. You probably know her better by her married name of Mrs. Irma Nussbaum.

(catch the 70s movie reference there...)

BTW, where did you cross the border into Iraq for your joyride?
Click to expand...
As far as I'm aware- it was in that disputed border area that used to show up on maps as a diamond shaped area. We then went way north, and then southeast. IIRC, we were at the location for a week or longer before we left from there. At night we were right at the point where the bombers would turn off their running lights and would turn their running lights back on on the way back. That was a trip.
 
Re: The Hardline According To... The Golden Boy- The Well Part XXII

My unit was at Log Base Echo. They followed an armor battalion across the breach north of our position and hauled POWs back.


Whoa! Irma the artist? She all over google.
