  1. Remember kids - This is your brain: This is your brain on drugs:
  2. Does anybody else think that Ken looked a little bit like Jay Bennet in this video?
  3. As much as I hate Chinese Democracy, yes they will and should get in. After reading Slash's book I can pretty much guarantee you that the only member you will probably see there is Axl(well maybe Adler if he isn't in rehab); which will absolutely suck. The one thing about GNR that I didn't like was Axl. The man is a twat, but he owns the rights to the name so I'm sure he will make a big stink about it. If the other members are there it would probably be similar to when Blondie was inducted and Debbie Harry acted like she WAS Blondie and blew off the rest of the band.
  4. Not to be argumentative, but how exactly does that work?
  5. Natalie Merchant - Vocalist - Her voice is what I imagine angels sound like. Mark Ford - Guitarist - Huge, huge, influence on my own playing. Gil Norton - Producer - He gets the best bass sounds of any producer I have ever heard. Dr Dre - Producer - I'm not a big rap fan but the dude if a flat out genius. Robert Randolph - Musician - Pedal steel at it's finest. Django Reinhart - Musician - I just want to know how he could play guitar as good as he did with only 2 fingers. Phil Spector - Producer - The dude was a complete nut job but his albums had a grand, epic type sound to them. Brian Wilson
  6. I go old school and just drink plain old coke. I used to drink Diet Coke by the 1 liter but I had an unfortunate incident. I used to love the taste of Diet Coke, but I was trying to gain weight to play football. At the time I was about 5'10" and weighed roughly 120 lbs. (One a side note, go into a McDonalds, order 3 Big Macs, a supersized fry, 3 apple pies, and then when they ask you what to drink, tell them a DIET Coke. The looks you get are priceless.) Anyway trying to pack on the pounds, me and my 120lb. frame decided that it would be a great idea to eat a medium deep dish pizza with ever
  7. I'll put it this way - when I tried explaining them to somebody I work with, they said, and I quote, "they sound like a bunch of fucking commies"; do I really need to say anything else? Granted this was also the same person I once heard comparing Clinton to Hitler.
  8. I did a search but couldn't find anything on it and I haven't been on a whole lot lately so I might have missed it but I just read on Pitchfork that the boys have a song on the Heroes soundtrack called Glad It's Over. Has anybody heard it at all? Here is the the link to the pitchfork article. LINK

    Great vid, thanks for it. John's hat is flat out pimp.
  10. My comment was based more on his music than his personality/reputation/character. I have no doubt that he is immensely talented but I have tried in the past to get into his solo stuff but I just can't seem to get into it. I will grant that I haven't heard anything that he has done lately, maybe I will try and give it another go. As for his character, I try not to read too many articles on musicians as they are generally skewed to whichever opinion the interviewer has towards the individual artist(s). The only thing I can ever recall reading on Adams was an interview in Rolling Stone where he p
  11. My main guitars: 95' Gibson Les Paul Studio 05' Fender HSS Strat for an amp I use a Crate V18-112 and for effects I plug into a Digitech GNX4, which I also use for recording.
  12. OK, I just found the Whiskytown album "Strangers Almanac" online and have fallen completely in love with it. The thing that I cannot figure out is how in the hell I can love a Whiskytown album and still loathe Ryan Adams at the same time. Any thoughts?
  13. Not to step on Ction's proverbial toes, but I have a suggestion of my own- Take how ever much your normal Wilco listening consumption is, multiply that duration by 2, then for that amount of time listen only to live Wilco recordings, whether that be KT or a recorded live show, then go back and listen to any Wilco studio album, and enjoy. It will make any studio recorded album seem fresh and new.
  14. I have found a new hero. I guess Selig is really thumbing his nose up at Congress.
  15. Terrel Pryor is visiting UM this weekend instead of 2 weeks from now. I hope Rich Rod, as Pryor calls him, goes all out and offers him the moon to come to Ann Arbor.
  16. She may be physically attractive but intelligence is way more alluring than anything she has to offer.
  17. One ray of hope is that the QB that we have already coming in this year, Steven Threet, is a transfer from G.T.. When he committed to Georgia Tech. he was the 11th rated QB coming out of high school. He isn't much of a runner, but at least he has some talent. I do think that although it isn't a slam dunk by any stretch of the imagination, that UM has to be looking pretty good to Pryor right about now. I watched him last Saturday at the U.S. Army All American game and he looked phenomenal, he was heads and shoulders above everybody else on the field. I really hope he decides to go to UM.
  18. OK, you're just rubbing it in now.
  19. I'm a fan of their Pisces Iscariot B-sides album so anything off of that. The song "Drown" from the Singles soundtrack is my favorite song of theirs. Then there is the normal choices like "Tonight, Tonight", & "Disarm"(Although I would recommend the heavier version of the song that is on their greatest hits album). Other than that I would recomend "Mayonnaise", "Bodies", or "Through the Eyes of Ruby". I will caution to stay away from anything after Mellon Collie unless you are into electronica dance type stuff. I was horribly turned off with their last couple of albums. Also, I haven't hea
  20. You ain't shittin. The computer kicks my arse and I considered my self at least somewhat competent at the game. All hail Whitty
