Sandy, I watched that vid earlier too. lol! The group is Spider Bait. You can see the groups actual video for the song on the scroll down thingy on that page you linked. The dude takes his drum kit out on the highway. Looks like wicked fun, but I still prefer Ram Jam's version on the song.

Iceman - Led Zeppelin

Hey Cuth

Acouple of years back when Tampa hosted the Super Bowl the city passed an ordinance that was similar to the Las Vegas Bullsh*t.........The issued a citation to a group of Christians who were setting up picnic tables every sunday to serve a b-b-que to the homeless.......


I guess nobody heard David Gilmore sing "On The Turning Away"
nor did they consider it for the half-time show...
i think yer right
sports was the distraction in gladitorial Rome
It worked very well as a smoke screen for the Third Reich
And in Las Vegas....we certainly wouldn't want to see someone spending money in a way that benefits anything other than a persons insatiable desire to satisfy their selfish desire.......

As for Tampa Bay....TECO continues to jetison roughly 40,000 metric TONS of polutants into the air we breath every day..........

Sorry....i have smoked a cigar in a restaurant......i guess people had a choice to remain or leave..........however.....we don't have that option with regard to our planet.....

SATRIELLA Trying to fire me up love? Now that would be a poor witness wouldnt it? I failed that test before. Again and again. Hey, another good source of material while we are on the subject is cri.org Hank Hannegraff. I always spell his name wrong.

Lets see, we had two new versions of BLACK BETTY. Loved them both. One funky TJ and one metal. Of course the original Ram Jam version is cool. Now there is a version for every mood. Great Song! Tom Jones had natural hair like that dude dancing with the piece at one time. HA!

BAHDUH Right On right back at ya bro! Hope all is well with you. Have a GREAT weekend!

CUTH Your link to the homeless situation in Vegas is almost unbelievable! This is a tragedy! This is..............I'm pissed! If its one thing we must do it is to feed the hungry. I support the efforts of any government supplying food to other nations when needed and in times of catastrophy, but we must not turn our backs on the homeless. We have, as most states do, a homeless problem in Hawaii. Most stay at the park in tents or at the beach. We are fortunate to have good climate. We have shelters and outreaches which are encouraged, but some insist on moving them from place to place. Now, these are not typical homeless people. Most call themselves houseless as they have jobs and income, but cannot afford the high cost of rent in Hawaii which is outrageous. No low income housing available. All upscale. What are they to do? No rent control either. God bless that woman who feeds the homeless in Vegas no matter what the cost.

You know CUTH there are so many things that need our attention, its hard to keep up! Thanks for the links bro.

DO THE STU It sounds like you have a favorite bass buddy. Like the Fender as thats what I have, Jazz. Also have a Tobias Growler, thus my nick name. I favor the Fender because of the feel and outright power.

We are much the same in all other aspects as far as musical tastes and playing. I did play in church for awhile and I play in a band during the summer months as two of the four guys are teachers and cannot devote time to practice while in session. We basically play Hendrix, Joe, Leslie West, Robin Trower, ZZ Top, Buddy Guy, Clapton, etc. The blues/rock thing. The semester starts soon, so I am meeting with a new drummer and we are going to team up with a couple flying in from Maui next weekend. She will be the vocalist and he plays lead, so it should be cool if the drummer and I can tighten things up. I'm excited to meet them. New people! It might give me a chance to go to Maui once in awhile.

Growler - No honey not trying to fire you up as you put it, I was in fact very pleased that you didn't, as I said It was just a joking remark, you've been a real sweety lately and I am glad about that.....though I would like to see a picture of you coz...the way you were and your name...gives me a very scowly bear like face in my head now and I am sure that is completely wrong...so how about it?.....Might even draw it too!

Harvestfields - welcome to the board...interesting name...what's the story behind that?

Phyrdom - Awww yes I can see why they wouldn't like crates any more, a lot of dogs don't like kennels coz they are very loyal and don't like being away from the ones they love and that is what kennels are to them.... a place where they can't be with their loved ones!

Michelle - Oh thanks for that, Oh Yeah the spiderbait video is much better....I hope that was a toy drumkit being smashed at the end....gulp otherwise that's a lot o money gone...

JOE .... WHAT IS IN YOUR TOP TEN CLASSIC TUNES....

Hey Joe! I was at the Barcelona Razmatazz show. Really great! Had a wonderful time with my brother there. We went to see Steve Vai (with Eric Sardinas) a couple of months back at the same venue. My brother preferred Vai (which was great as well) but I enjoyed yesterday's show even more. I hope you had a good time in Barcelona as well! A G'3 (G'4?) with Vai, Gilbert and/or Malmsteen again would definitely attract me back to Razmatazz next year again! Let's do!!

Satriella - I'm realy not sur how the Chapman Stick works, but I'm pretty sure there's quite a lot more to it than your average guitar...

Just a quick peep in b4 i split for work

GLAD- You have mail :)
