Who is your favorite drummer?

Aaron Gillespie --- his drumming is a lot more like "another instrument" in the band and less like "just keepin' the beat."

He adds so much texture with his drumming.

He's also a great singer and songwriter, which is impressive.

He put out an album called "Southern Weather" under the band name "The Almost" where he played all guitars, bass, drums, and vocals --- it's all him.




He is the drummer for a band called Underoath. Pretty heavy "metalcore" type of music at present, but it was a lot poppier on their "They're Only Chasing Safety" album



Check out Underoath's MySpace to hear some of their music.

The voice you hear on "Too Bright to See, Too Loud to Hear" is Aaron Gillespie.

Re: The Well 69: ImmortalSix

never took you as a fan of that brand of metalcore.

Yeah man, like I said, I see value in all music.

There is a common thread that runs through all music that I like, the Gavin DeGraw, the Underoath, the John Mayer, the Nas, all of it --- I just haven't identified what it is. Maybe I never will.
 
Re: The Well 69: ImmortalSix

Fun Fact: I had a lot of different wage jobs prior to graduating college.

I've worked as a soda jerk, a Chick-Fil-A dude, a kayak and canoe salesman/demonstrator/deliverer (awesome job), a graphic design nerd and database nerd for the Virginia Tech yearbook, Dish Network satellite TV tech support (hilarious job, lots of funny stories came from this one!), transportation research at the VT Smart Road involving standing in the road in artificial rain in different colored jumpsuits under experimental types of light ($10 an hour was awesome in college, weird hours, really cool experience), and a transit bus driver.

I loved being a bus driver because I am obviously a gearhead, and driving something that huge and powerful was just awesome. I was good at it too. I drove a New Flyer D40LF, great bus.

With my license, I can drive a vehicle of any size (weight) and tow anything up to 10,000 lbs. I am not licensed to drive a semi, because the weight of their trailer is generally greater than 10,000 lbs.

Re: The Well 69: ImmortalSix

Well, a lot of our customers were non-native English speakers, because Dish Network offered lots of Indian channels, Farsi channels, Russian channels, you get the idea. So a lot of our customers had "International Channels" and were coincidentally non-native English speakers.

Well, you could buy this kit from Radio shack called the "Dish 1-2-3" that came with the satellite dish, the receiver, and all the cables you needed. You could literally buy it at a Radio Shack, they'd activate your programming there, and you could go home and put up the dish and hook it up and bam, you were watching TV.

I have a guy call me up one day in a very panicked Farsi / English and say "I'm haiving a prawblem waith the DEESH!"

So I go through my steps that I have to go through to diagnose the problem (is the **** thing on, is your TV on the right channel, are you in a hurricane...)

"I'm haiving a prawblem waith the DEESH!"

I say, "Sir, did you set up the dish yourself?"

"I'm haiving a prawblem waith the DEESH!"

Well, I happened to know that on the front of the Dish 1-2-3 box, there's a picture of a happy customer, a TV, a receiver, and a dish.

I ask the gentleman, "where is your dish, sir?"

"Ait's right heere on the tawp of tha TAY-vee just like eet shows awn thee bawks!"

:facepalm:

The guy had physically mounted the dish to the wall of his living room, went out and got drywall anchors and everything, because the box shows all of what's included in the box on the front, and the customer got the idea that that was how he should install it, dish right next to the TV! :laugh2:
 
Re: The Well 69: ImmortalSix

We had people calling us in the middle of hurricanes, people driving down the road in campers (only to find out that the wind had ripped their dish off the roof), all sorts of stuff.
 
Re: The Well 69: ImmortalSix

Well, I just asked my wife to describe me in 3 words, pursuant to a discussion I was having with Keith about an earlier question in this thread.

Her answer, verbatim:

hmm logical/efficent, charismatic (not in the center of attention way, but i have never been in a social situation with you where you could'nt make someone else feel comfortable), and resourceful/creative

You are right t4d, I am secret agent material for sure!

Man, I surely don't understand! At any rate, I'll repost for this latest page:

Re: The Well 69: ImmortalSix

What were your favorite toys as a kid?

Tonka trucks --- I was always a truck guy ever since day 1.

I had the Tonka dump truck, the front end loader/backhoe, and another one.

I'm not talkin' about your sissy modern plastic Tonka trucks, either. I'm talking about real toys, with tasty paint that flaked off and sharp metal edges and a serrated edge on the bucket of the backhoe, toys that teach you about physics and tetanus.

I also liked waffle blocks a lot --- I was always building houses and suck out of waffle blocks and lincoln logs.

I was never a big Lego nerd, oddly, but I loved building their pneumatic series, where you could build things that executed tasks powered by pressurized air. I don't remember the name.

I built a nitro-powered line-control airplane --- back before R/C planes, that thing was a gawd-danged HOOT!

I did model cars, airplanes, boats, all of it.

Basically lots of "powered" machines, trucks, cars, planes, and lots of building.

What was your most desperate moment?

Explain one thing you have always wanted to do and never been able to. (omit anything having to do with being a famous _____)
