Re: The Well XVIX: Hot Grits says it's too drunk to be this early...
I always thought you were a cool dude before but this just seals the deal knowing you saw that movie in the theater.
The raunchiest, dirty, drunken swaggerin' rock band in your opinion?
Favorite animal?
If you could have any profession in the world other than being a professional musician, what would you choose?
Forever young, you want to be forever young? Is this a true statement?
Nastiest thing you've ever eaten?
You have to cartwheel naked down a main street for half a mile with a parade following you to save your family's life. What song/songs do you have the marching band perform and who is the parade made up of?
Who do you think best lives up to the nickname 'Ham-bone'?

Re: The Well XVIX: Hot Grits says it's too drunk to be this early...
My next-oldest brother and I played football (the rest played rugby league), and we were both indoctrinated at a very young age by Sam Small, our scouse next-door neighbour.
My earliest football memories are of being allowed to stay up til after midnight and crowd around the bar heater with my brother and father to watch the European Cup final. I can clearly remember watching the '81 final.
I couldn't have asked for a better team to support as a child. Sunday mornings were invariably about getting up and sitting with bro to watch the single Match of the Day for the week, which about 85% of the time was liverpool passing their way elegantly through whatever defence was massed in front of them...
Supporting Liverpool has it's ups and downs these days, but the ups are still the envy of many a team (every team, in the case of 2005). The most successful club in the history of British football.
What were your main reason for becoming a fan of LFC?
Go Manchester United btw.

Re: The Well XVIX: Hot Grits says it's too drunk to be this early...
haha, to me that just means I'm old...
Perhaps the MC5. Early Van Halen did pretty well on that front, and you can't rule out the Stones. We here at The Defendants do our bit as well.
I love otters. I've always been highly impressed by them, but one day I was visiting the zoo...
...It was late in the afternoon and the otters were all sleeping in a big pile. One of the otters rolled off the pile, climbed to the top, weed all over his sleeping brothers and sisters, and nestled back down on top of the pile. At that point I knew they were the animal for me.
Wildest dreams: Passing central midfielder (in the Molby/Alonso mould) for Liverpool FC.
More everyday: It'd be cool to sit around in a boutique amp shop. I get to do that once a week right now...
Well, I've always looked younger than I am. I don't mind growing older. Its the getting stupider that annoys me.
Hmmm,
catfood?
a tequila slammer mixed with congealing Baileys (solid enough to be considered edible)?
my mother's 'fish surprise'?
a cockroach?
-you choose.
The marching band would perform a medley of 'panama', 'the monty python theme', 'fairies wear boots', 'let it whip', 'alphabet street', 'hush' and 'the way we were'.
The procession would consist of:
-The membership of the Point Chevalier Returned Services Association (in drag).
-half a dozen bomb squad dogs (no handlers) dressed as Bichon Frise.
-local legend John Rowles (rumour has it that Elvis Presley was the world's greatest ever John Rowles impersonator) mounted atop an Indian elephant.
-Reinhold Bogner, dressed in a slight fat suit, ill fitting jeans, sport sandals and a peavey branded polo shirt, cradling that cute polar bear cub from East Germany, both eagerly sniffing:
-a 60ft long pepperoni salami carried by dozens of promotional models (y'know, the ones who aren't quite good enough to be real models, like security guards are to cops) being whipped by midgets.
-the 1982 New Zealand world cup squad (wearing the original kit and moustaches, regardless of current waistlines) also being whipped by midgets.
-a pot of glue, symbolising famous New Zealand racehorse Phar Lap, carried by Rachel Hunter, whipped by cream.
-Richard Dawkins and the new Nazi Pope guy wrestling with ping pong bats taped to their hands in a vat of lukewarm custard, ringed with an electric fence (a great new zealand invention).
-and at both ends there would be special floats for The Hot Grits and the Defendants, with each band playing the other's music (no rehearsal). I would be ferried from one float to the other via a catapult and net system manned by David lee Roth dressed as a six foot tall broccoli.
My mum. She's a hell of a woman.

One thing I have to hand to the LFC; they have unarguably one of the very best supporters in the world, with respect to creating electric atmosphere at the Kop. I'd love to see United with so passionate fans..

...as opposed to all the johnny-come-lately glory hunter fans that have come along in the premiership era (I'm looking at YOU, Mr Brisk)?
The percussionist in The Hot Grits is from Manchester and has supported Manure all his life. We enjoy banter, but we both respect each other's teams, as we both know the history. And real Liverpool and United supporters just have to look to Hillsborough, Heysel and Munich to know that there are more important things in life, in spite of what the great Bill Shankly once said.
http://youtube.com/watch?v=tTDiyX3fEQs
Same with my Arsenal supporter mate Spencer. He's had a whale of a time over the last few years (2001 FA Cup excepted: I ended up stuck to a bar floor while he skulked off home like a puppy about to get the snip, only to find his car had been nicked! -priceless), but he remembers what supporting Arsenal used to be like, which makes recent times even sweeter for him. We give each other arseholes about the football, but above all there's the respect, and the shared knowledge that we've both seen some decent football in our time.
And you're right about Liverpool supporters. The are the best supporters in English football. There are diehard supporters of every team, but there's something special about Liverpool and the Kop. It annoys other supporters no end, but it's true. No neutral football lover enjoys a day trip to Emirates, Old Trafford or Stamford Bridge purely to see the local support.

:laugh2:
Your parade scenario blew my mind. If you ever come to the states and around my neck of the woods, rounds are on me. :lmao:
Edit:
One more question. I once had to do a mini presentation on the music of Aotearoa in my 'Politics of Music' class last semester. I played this video: http://youtube.com/watch?v=DQLUygS0IAQ
A fitting music video of the time? Yay or nay?
And seeing as how about 10k people are in the video, do you make a cameo?

A true classic! -an original version of that on vinyl is a Kiwi crate digger's number one prize. You did real good. And it's a perfect product of it's time. I don't make a cameo, unfortunately. But I sure love cameo:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6k4qHaHjuMI
70s Cameo is super awesome, killer full band stuff, too.
It strikes me listening to that synth bassline on the patea Maori Club tune that it may be possible to do a sick mashup with Queen's 'radio ga ga':

A love for Cameo as well!?!?!?! This thread just keeps getting better. I'm more partial to 'Alligator Woman' myself but that is early 80's Cameo stuff I believe.
I have a feeling you'd be fun to get drunk with as the stories would come flying.

...and you know, what's the point of spending years socialising extensively to great financial and mental cost if you don't have a couple of stories?
These days I'm pretty much chilled on the rampaging front. I have a girlfriend I love very much, and bars get old for everyone eventually. But every now and then I still end up on a dancefloor with my trousers round my ankles.
My kitten has just dropped a cicada into my sneaker. That's kind of both cute and disturbing. He catches about 8 of them a day, and if I don't vacuum fairly regularly the place looks like a bug graveyard...
oops, munched a post up:

Re: The Well XVIX: Hot Grits says it's too drunk to be this early...
I became a United-fan when I was around 5 or something. It was pretty much attributed to Solskjaer's transfer, I think.. It hasn't been too much of a challenge to hold on to my favorite team ever since, I have to admit.. Wonder if United needs to go through a rough period again for the supporters to fully appreciate victories and celebrate accordingly. I know our Red Army was one of the most hardcore and passionate supporters through the 70s.. Not always with a positive sign, but still, they were passionate. Those visiting Old Trafford surely got a little scared of the sheer loudness caused by a roaring Stretford End.. Like I ever experienced that, but I have read it.

Re: The Well XVIX: Hot Grits says it's too drunk to be this early...
Well, I fully support the notion of Man U going on a barren run...
I do know that the barren run has made recent successes that much better. Even the 'plastic treble' of 2001 was a wonderful experience.
But 2005 was incredible. The noise in that youtube clip was the sound of relief of over half a city at finally getting back to where they feel they belong. My brother was in a pub in Liverpool for the final, and when that last penalty went in he said there was basically an explosion of joy and relief. The bar emptied out quickly, and he was one of the last to leave. Apparently the place was destroyed. Anything movable had moved. Within 20 minutes of leaving the pub, he reckons there would have been 40,000 people on the streets of downtown Liverpool.
I was down here, and had chosen the wrong bar, with about ten Liverpool supporters and some semi-interested suits. Like many, I considered leaving at half time and heading to work. I opted to stay, finish my second pint and endure what was probably going to be the biggest embarrassment in the club's history.
Second half: Stevie scored. No big deal, less of an embarassment. Then Smicer pops one in. At that point, I hurry to the bar. From the bar I see Alonso net the rebound from the pen. From then on it was a cycle of nervous drinking and excitement until the last penalty. I think I was about 8 pints in at the end of extra time.
When we finally won it, I ran out of the street into rush hour central Auckland, screaming and waving. Women in business suits actually crossed the street on the way to the office. I rang my Everton supporting boss, who gracefully gave me the day off, and then hightailed it to another bar, where there were about 100 Liverpool supporters singing and drinking. Things get a bit hazy from there, and I ended up in a posh suburb watching 'live aid' and 'the kids are alright' at some complete stranger's house.
Eventually I staggered across three suburbs to my house, and was sitting staring at the wall with a fresh beer, trying to figure out what had happened when I got a call from a woman I was seeing. I went into town to a quiet bar, and sat across from her smiling and shaking my head in disbelief.
One hell of a day.

Re: The Well XVIX: Hot Grits says it's too drunk to be this early...
Haha, great story! I remember that game very well. One of the weirder games I've ever watched. Pretty amazing. I can imagine you went through some of the same as United supporters went through considering the final in '99. Just that the Milan-LFC game was a nerve-cracking giant turning operation over a much longer timespan. Very cool of your boss to let you have the day off! Being an Everton-supporter and all.. After all, there's understanding between supporters..
As for United-Bayern Munich, the whole game was just a disappointment from the very start 'til 90 minutes had passed. A giant disappointment, that is. It was so much talk about the treble, and United had 2 out of 3 before the game in Barcelona. It was talk about that this is when it would happen, because it would have been Matt Busby's birthday if he still were alive. But United was terribly weak, and if memory doesn't fail me, B. Munich had way better chances for scoring another goal, than United had chances to equalize. I remember I had engaged the video recorder from the very start so to save what I thought could be the perfect game for a perfect season. When 90 minutes had passed, I was ready to turn off the recorder exactly when the refree blew the game off; I remember this part very vividly, I hated the idea of seeing celebrating Germans! The video remote control in hand, I saw Schmeichel go up into the field for a last (I thought) desperate corner. Disorder prevailed when Beckham crossed the ball, but somehow Sheri got the ball in. That left the 12 year boy with the remote control in hand in a state of joy, confusion and a regained hope. I didn't really realize what had just happened before Beckham passed another corner. And who was there? Solskjaer of course, one of the main reasons for my affection for United. That's the best three minutes I have ever experienced with Manchester United. From total despair, to extreme joy. I have almost never seen my dad as happy as when the refree finished the match.. "I've been waiting for this for 31 years..!", he said as he gave me a great hug. Father and son, from one United supporter to another.
What I hated with the '99 season..... I went to London with my family, and my dad and my little brother went to Stamford Bridge to see United against Chelsea.. I can tell you, Chelski's supporters really were loud! United had just bought a new keeper a couple of days before the match, the Italian Taibi, and this is a fact: the only English words he knew were, "water please". I don't know how much this affected his communication with the defenders, but surely something must have went terribly wrong. What else could explain the 3-0 score to Chelsea? When 45 mins had passed? It ended.. 5-0 to Chelsea, and it ruined my first live experience with the Red Devils. And that in a season that was otherwise pretty much perfect. Thanks, irony!
Inspired by your stories, I just felt a need to put some of my memories of the '99 season on the "paper".

Haha, I can't help but think of VERY BORED AMERICANS when i reread the last few posts.
I remember the United final very well. I was watching it at home with a Bayern shirt on. really enjoyed all of it up til the last three minutes. That must have been a painful game for a supporter to watch.
I still remember Giggs' goal in that FA cup semi...
But anyway, we should probably rest the footer and get back to questions about food, amps and brass band arrangements...

Well, all the Americans talk about is NFL and baseball, but they should really start appreciating the awesomeness of the real football sport!
You were in a Bayern shirt?! Bloody bastard! I am glad you had a hard time watching the last three mins!
Giggs' goal was just amazing. I ran all over the house yelling something in pure joy.
Yep, back to the rest of the well.

I am glad you had a hard time watching the last three mins!Giggs' goal was just amazing. I ran all over the house yelling something in pure joy.
Yep, back to the rest of the well.

All right ... time for more musical showdown.

2.) Gladys Knight vs. Aretha Franklin
3.) Otis Redding vs. Marvin Gaye
4.) Stevie Wonder vs. Jackson 5
5.) The Temptations vs. The Drifters
6.) Family Stone vs. Earth, Wind and Fire
7.) Manowar vs. Europe (cheese factor)

Martha and The Vandellas win. Gladys is disqualified for mistaking Martha for a hot dog and doing a Tyson.
Aretha. Unless George Michael is involved.
Ow. So tough. I'm gonna go with Otis, but i really don't want to have to make a choice.
Stevie all the way. And that's taking into account Tito.
Temptations for sure. with suits like these, there can be only one winner:
Family stone. EWF are cool, but to be honest that whole cliche 70s funk thing isn't my bag for the most part, Roy Ayers excluded. I like the earlier, more raw stuff. Plus Sly gets points for having a pitbull that killed and then screwed his pet monkey. Now THAT'S rock'n'roll.
Manowar win on oiliness and loinclothery. But Krokus rule over both.
