  1. I was there too. My first concert. 8th grade, and I was sure the police were going to arrest DLR after he dropped the f-word on stage. "You can't say that out loud!" Forward about 7 years later when I was working for the Erwin Center and was posted outside the Van Hagar dressing room. Met Eddie, talked for a long time, and was able to watch him warm up for the show as he sat in a folding chair about 5 feet away from me. He was cool as hell, signed my 5150 album sleeve, and was totally down to earth. My best musical memory and definitely my best brush with celebrity fame. All hail King Edward.
  2. Bowie was massively addicted to cocaine and lost tons of weight during that time. I think it was his "thin white duke" period. He also lost his friendship with Lennon and many others during that time. I think he was quoted as saying "Cocaine is a great way to lose your friends" or something along those lines. Apparently it's also a great way to look like a real-life Skeletor.
  3. Did that kid go from armed robbery to attempted murder when he shot the gun?
  4. Waikiki is not a city. Moreover, my avatar pic was taken about 100 yards off Waikiki Beach. As you can see, it's a real overrated shithole. The mainlander that wrote the article can fuck himself. Actually, never mind. Surfing sucks, don't try it. And Waikiki sucks too, so no need to visit.
  5. Wow, you bearely missed it
  6. Oh yeah? Well I won't be surprised by any number between 15 and 40, so take that.
  7. Recent shows: Ministry -- loud, fun, Melvins were a great opener, setlist was very political as usual, Al with more energy than I expected: Girl Talk was everything you'd expect -- hot, sweaty, drunken, tons of dancers onstage, bubbles, confetti, beach balls, everybody dancing from opener to closer: Gojira opened for Deftones but I like to think of it as the Gojira show because they were fucking awesome, I am surprised the arena is still standing after the bludgeoning hammer they laid down for an hour: Cradle of Filth was fun, Dani was in good voice and with surprisingly good energy despite a lame crowd: Danzig was totally out of shape but the show was fun, he still preened around like he was 25, no Misfits tunes but still a decent show: Overall Gojira was far and away the best band of those bands. They were tight and deafening and left a crater smoldering after they finished. However the best crowd energy was for Ministry -- they went crazy, the pits were brutal, and there was no one sitting. I know Al hates performing but they did a great job and the crowd was in it 100%. Taking my daughter to see Macca in NYC in a few weeks -- cannot wait. Paul puts on the best shows I've ever seen, and this one won't disappoint. Also have Crue / Leppard, Anthrax / Black Label Society / Hatebreed, and Rammstein on the horizon. So glad shows are back!
  8. You can take the girl out of Miami, but you can't take the Miami out of the girl.
  9. I'd have more respect for Jimbo if he just came out and said, "Yeah, we're paying players. Everyone else is too. Try to stop us." But cucks do what cucks do.
  10. Jimbo is exactly like Nathan Thurm. It's unbelievable:
  11. what was filming that?
  12. My dad worked at TI when it was over on 183. He was at TI from the beginning and was affiliated with the teams that created the first semiconductor. We had all of the iterations of the TI 99-4 -- the speech synthesizer, the modem where you'd literally place the phone onto the little suction cups, the voice recognition thing so you could yell out "first base" on that shitty Milton Bradley baseball game and the guy would throw it to first base, the massive ROM extension cabinet. Tunnels of Doom still holds up; I play it with my kids using an emulator. It's a blast.
  13. wish I could rep 100 times.
  14. I think you're right. Good call. I was wondering if I saw Italy there, but I couldn't make out the positioning of the various Mediterranean islands. Now I get it. Cool to see the Adriatic and Croatia / Albania / Greece in the background as they start to fly over northern Africa. Well done.
  15. So cool. Can anyone figure out what part of the earth is featured? I can't tell.
  16. Alright chumps!
  17. Yeah, that's the view from the Fairmont. Had pretty much that exact view when I stayed there last Christmas, sans the shitty Raising Cains and the floating yoga guy.
  18. Sales rep seemed like a real go-to guy when the shit hits the fan.
  19. Sounds like a fun pizza party. Actual photo of Phillip seeing that million-dollar cheque:
  20. The 2005 Rose Bowl was a pretty good time now that I think about it
  21. Andrew Jones kicked cancer's ass and ou's ass. He's a fucking legend.
  22. Interesting. I'm completely opposite. If I tune into a sports radio program, I want to listen to people discussing sports. I couldn't give two shits about their personal lives, inside jokes, personalities, etc. If I want that sort of stuff, I'll tune into Howard or one of the other talk or specialty satellite channels.
