Just saw this message pertaining to Gilby Clarke -

"My husband was in a bad motorcycle accident last night he was hit by some idiot that ran from the scene. Gilby has a busted leg. We r lucky!"

I hate it when that happens.

Castle, I'll make room in the basket for you :-)

and us girls can all grope McDave and Ally Wally and cube together :)))) It ain't no fun in the basket without yer friends, LOL!!!

History is right, there are those who know, and those who have no idea so their sympathies get tapped. I can understand that of course, happens all the time in my job as a social worker, I think I'm helping someone truly in need and later occasionally find out I've been had. A sad fact of life....it doesn't keep me from trying to help the next person cuz you just never know. But in this case, having been "had" twelve too many times, my sympathy in that direction dried up a long time ago. I can only be lied to so many times before I give up and won't believe anything anymore. "Boy (or girl) who cried wolf" syndrome.

Onwards....Chris saw the pic of the JS Acoustic yesterday and got excited...but he's workin on getting his JS1200 first, then an acoustic. He's been checking out Breedlove acoustic electrics, they are quite nice and affordable and are made right here in Oregon!! BUT....stick a JS acoustic in his hands and who KNOWS what the verdict will be!

michelle has 6,117 post......and I read every one of them ;)

.........JOE! the Egnater "Rebel 30" CHECK IT OUT! This little monster will cut through any mix "like a tornado through a trailer park" . I know you try out all the new stuff, I would too if I were you.....best regards to you and yours.

....'nuff said. It's a new day !

One of my life's ambitions is to get all of us in one place..I'll buy the keg(s)..!

Hey.............Question for you all...

Ok, here is a clue, the answer is somewhere in the Super Colossal CD.........

My son finally got the Sigur Ros dvd Heima in the mail today. It was on back order when I ordered it for him for Christmas. Weirdy stuff I tells ya. He likes it, and that's what matters. I'm just happy he branches out and listens to a bit of everything instead of being stuck in one musical groove.

2 Ton, all of 'em?? lol! If ya ever attempt to read them all at one time, make sure yer wearin' some hip-waders. That's a lot of crap to wade through. lol!

Let's dance!

Hiya aniburoline!

Ok............Gordon Brown was part of the Crowd Chant crowd

elpp - I was able to find a torrent of the Simpsons anniversary special. I don't know how fast your internet connection is, so it might not be an option, but I'm mentioning it just in case.

One of the later segments asked what the world would be like without the Simpsons. There were a lot of jokes from the staff, saying they'd be poor, wouldn't be living in Malibu, would have an uglier wife, etc. It was kinda funny, but I wish they would have treated it as a serious question.

With no Simpsons I don't think Fox ever would have "made it" as a major network. That may have changed TV...Fox may not have gotten into sports or cable news. I don't like Conan O'Brien, but one of his first gigs was writing a few Simpsons episodes. So without the Simpsons he never would have had a career. Late night TV would sure be different.

I saw them in concert about a year and a half ago (at the Greek Theatre in Berkeley, where Chickenfoot just played). It was cold and threatening to rain all day, but it held off through the band's main set.

The song they played as an encore was a longer one, 10+ minutes...it starts slow with just guitar, and the other instruments come in slowly and the intensity increases over the course of the song. So about halfway through, the drums increase to full volume...and at that exact moment, rain finally came POURING down. The timing was so perfect, it was as if the guy at the sound booth had a switch that controlled the weather.

It was a GA show, so of course the crowd went nuts...we were all soaked, but it was very fun and definitely one of my favorite concert moments.

Do the Burgers, I believe I just heard that song. My son said "It intensifies as it goes", but it kept going and going. lol! The crowd was on their feet and standing cheering and rocking out before the drums even kicked in. I asked my son if they were hearing the same music we were. lmao! That short bit when the drums kicked in was pretty good. Just not my cup o' tea, but my son sure digs it. I also got him a couple of SR cd;s for Christmas. The show you went to sounds pretty cool the way the rain came down.

michelle - Yeah, the song is "untitled 8" from their ( ) album...the song is also known as Popplagio (Icelandic for "The Pop Song").

My favorite song of theirs is one I think you might like...Saeglopur (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HFEQHpIkKxk). If the beginning bores you (I hope it doesn't), jump to about 1:55. You also might like Gobbledigook (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zfKw5r7M7MQ), the first song from their most recent album.

The band's lyrics are a mix of Icelandic and a made-up language. In a weird way, I think I'd like the band less if I could understand Icelandic. The guitar player is pretty cool...I guess you've seen some of the DVD, but he plays with a violin bow and an EBow as well.

Joe, if you're reading this...what do you think of Sigur Ros?

Austin, I tried to watch the first video. After 30 seconds I couldn't take it anymore. Enough SR for one night for me. lmao! I just told my son to read yer post. He says I didn't hear either of those songs on the dvd. He also says he can play Saeglopur on the piano (he plays bass & keys). He also told me about the half Icelandic, half made up language. S'up wit dat? lol! Okay, I have the vidoe on again. Maybe if I type while it plays it won't be so bad. lol! The dvd has a sub-title option on it, but he didn't put it on. I would have preferred it to at least get a grip on what they were singing about. Lyrics kinda sound like whale songs to me. lol! (no offense)HA! My son walked by and asked me if it was the 5 or 7 min. version. I said 7. He says "oh good!" lol! I'm not feeling the same sentiment. There was a little heavy bit around the 2 min mark that wasn't so bad, but again, whale song vocals. My son likes to wake up to his SR & Trevor Hall cd's for school. Easy mellow. lol! Trevor Hall I can listen to, SR...not so much. I'm a loner Dottie, a rebel...

some of the best advice i ever heard...Thank You Joe especially #3...im always early and have to stand around for 20 min..getting cold

I know there's a number of you who dig Joe Bonamassa but I don't know his stuff. I'm intrigued and want to give him a try, so have any of you got any suggestions as to which CD I should get as being particularly representative of his best work. I was introduced to JS when I was given a copy of ITLIS, I absolutely loved it and bought Anthology ASAP, since then I have bought all I could get my hands on.

anibur, nice lil factoid there :) Wanna come in the basket too? LOL....we gots ourselves a partay! McDave is buying all the beer we can drink!!

Cappy, u sound like me....the first time I saw Joe live, we came back home and I bought everything, and I mean EVERYTHING Joe-related I could get my hands on....cd's, dvd's, tab books, shirts, memorabilia, posters...Chris thought he had died and gone to Satch-heaven, lol!!!

As for Joe Bonamassa, I've heard a lil of him, Chris has a dvd and loves it, I have friends who say he's great....and I bet someone like Austin can make a wunnerful recommendation on what to start with!!

michelle - Thanks for giving the music a try. It isn't for everyone, I know.

I have all of the band's CDs, and I really love their attention to detail with the packaging. None of their releases are just the standard clear plastic jewel case. They have CD cases with slip covers or colored plastic, cardboard "cases" that look more like small books, cardboard cases that fold out like LPs, and so on. It's really cool, from a collector's point of view.

The DVD you got your son has been out for a few years, so I assume it's the standard version? I bought it shortly after it was released and was able to get the limited edition, which comes in a slipcase with a very nice 100+ page hardcover book of photos. It's a really cool package.

I love it when bands do stuff like that.

Mari, sorry to hear about the break in. That sucks hard.

Joe does #2 on stage a lot when Sammy starts rambling and Chad is letting his adhd (IMO) run a muck. Just start playing, they'll eventually catch on and join in. lol! #5 makes so much sense too. You should see recording days around here. We need a feckin' revolving door! The guys are in and out so much it drives us crazy. Ahh yeah, good times.

Austin, the dvd says 2007. They seem like a band that's totally into art, which is pretty cool. It's just a standard issue. Nothing fancy. It was the only one on the website I was on at the time, and I figgered what the hell. He didn't ask for it, I just bought it as a surprise. He prolly would have liked that book. Next fancy schmancy thing they come out with, he might be all over it. lol! I just told my son that you got the 100+ page book. He says "Yeah...I didn't get that." LOL! You kids are funny!
