I mean, I know the lounge all wanted to know more about BTBM's scrotum - didn't you?

:loveya:

I'd rather read all about Cowbells ... Or click on the ad for it!

:rofl:

I forgot to make a screenshot.

:hug:

That's what we really wanna know. :shrug:

what's the going prices for an oversized BTBM sack?

cause I want bowling ball size, not bocce ball. I have alot of stuff to put in my sack

It's really more of an evening bag than a messenger bag.

Welcome to DU! :hi:

"Mr. Beast" is fucking excellent. :thumbsup:

And Yes, it is!

I also love love love Rock Action, Come on Die Young, and Happy Songs for Happy People.

I'm SOOOOO in love with this band... so so so much. they make me as happy as a little schoolgirl.

Which itself qualifies them for some kind of rock knighthood.

but it was a good picture of them

:D

:hi:

it was a very brief time in Pink Floyd's history

:P :P

Peg...You know it will come back to you. :P

Roly Poly Fish Heads.

Lunachicks


and

Babes in Toyland

Saw them live many moons ago. Amazing show.

Hee hee hee

WOW!!

They look pretty young.

*I* was pretty young then too! ::sigh::

(only four out of seven in this photo...no Paul Chambers, Wynton Kelly or Jimmy Cobb)

Pavement and Blur are two of my faves too...

If you've never had the pleasure of seeing this band live

I don't recognize them at all. I must be getting old...

I don't recognize all these bands either. That's why I right click on the pic and check its properties.

Maybe you're not old, just were never in the right place at the right time. I honestly haven't seen them live in 15 years.

music. Bruce Cockburn even mentions them in one of his songs.

I will check them out.

Parts & Labor, performing at The Church in Cleveland, photos by ME, motherfucker!



Oneida



Stump



The late, great Neutral Milk Hotel



The Pop Group



Spoon

X...very alive and still touring....This band belongs in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame; now.




:cry: is a dead people band.

Sadly, most of the Ramones are gone....but, Tommy and Marky are still around and doing great things.




Tikki

What a collection of characters!! I love the way John Doe and Exene sound when they sing together. They are amazing.

A few newer bands are good, but not enough for me to place over my favorites.

:D

Kind of looks like it huh?.

BTW, it's Steppenwolf. I don't know if you noticed or not.

There aren't too many mimes in rock these days...

I was thinking you meant John Kay, with all the crap on him. But now that I think of it, I was thinking of Rod Zombie I think. I am gettin' so confused now.. :scared:

to just pick two....

It's a toss up!

Cousin Brucie would like a word with you.

and here's him and his pal

"The only reuinion that mattered"

:toast:

...this is from the end solo on "Comfortably Numb."

:toast:

is that I knew exactly which songs they were going to play before they played them...

The Mars Volta


Refused


Protest The Hero


Thursday


Idiot Pilot

Just to be a jerk:



You may ask yourself...



None of the hippy throwbacks even mentioned these guys? I wasn't even around then and they are a favorite of mine.



Also surprised nobody mentioned this band.



Actually, I like this band a lot better. Easily my favorite, before that fellow on the right died.



But we mustn't forget this crew. Which I see you haven't, but you put in a more recent picture.



Best. Guitarist. Ever.



And he planned on joining this band just before he died, which would've changed their name to "HELP" (I swear I am not making this up).



Best. Slide Guitarist. Ever. Oh, and his brother was a drunk who married Cher.



Here are some newer bands, lest you think I only like older rock music. I see someone beat me to displaying a picture of these guys.



These guys take me back to grade school.



And these guys take me back to high school.



These two aren't particularly well-known, unless you're from New Orleans or somebody told you about them.

I have a hard time deciding a favorite, but these guys are definitely near the top.

The violent femmes

"Much as he hated argument or any kind of unpleasantness, Ron Shirt thought things had gone too far when, returning from a weekend in Clapton, he found that his neighbour had trimmed the enormous hedge dividing their gardens into the shape of a human leg. Enraged and envious beyond belief, Ron seized his garden shears and clipped his white poodle Leo into a coffee table. "That'll fix it", thought Ron, but he was wrong. The following Wednesday his neighbour had his bushy waist-length hair cut and permed into a model of the Queen Elizabeth and went sailing. Everywhere he went people said "hooray!" Sometimes you just can't win. "

Now



My tastes have, well, evolved you might say.

Though...

"...Let him who hath understanding
reckon the number of the beast
for it is a human number
its number is six hundred and sixty six."


:headbang:

At any rate, I've recently got back in touch with inner metal head too, I see no reason to cast stuff aside--just because you've added something new.

For example Leo Kottke didn't push out Iron Maiden for me at all! :headbang:

A partial--including my personal favorite guitarist:

A full band pic:

And sure to please everybody in the lounge! ;)

I bow to your Highway 2-ness.

:) However it takes one to know one. :)

Also: The second last picture in your post looks like a Japanese version of David Lynch to me.

And the second ot last guy is pretty famous for movie soundtracks.

Yeah, that band is Eastern Youth, pretty cool Japanese punk band. (One of only two Japanese bands I know, haha.) They did a split EP with the band Cursive (whom I love) called "Teeth to Eat You." Good stuff if yu're into that type of stuff, haha.

I would so lock this thread

John Abercrombie for my money is pure brilliance. He is seldom less than remarkable.

He is one of the world's great musical geniuses. He's played in a lot of different incarnations, in many different groups, but all of them are great.

I have a green one too, but this is my favorite.

I like it.
