Huh?
Because he did something that wasn't commercially successful, he's a dummy?
No, but if you regret it for 12 years you might be. That just makes it sound like he had a tantrum and made a decision he didn't really want to make. Like our clever friend Matt Sorum.

Everyone of us could be like that about any form of human interaction Polluxlm.
Does not mean that taking this position is right.The argument is that many of us would have seen it as being honorable, nothing more.
You obviously have a different opinion and that's cool.
But that's not an argument, that's just an opinion. Nothing wrong with that of course, but I got the impression that is what monkey was trying to do, you know, point out legitimate reasons for why he should have went.
I mean, if you think that's honorable or not cool, but why? That's all I was trying to get at.

I fast forward through a lot of scenes these days, but I'm still watching and thankfully the gangster stuff has become more prominent at the end of the season. These random Gyp Rosetti killings are becoming a little unimaginative, but Joe the Boss more than makes up for it. Sleater in a box was a nice touch.
#3244 Re: Dust N' Bones & Cyborg Slunks » Zakk Wylde jammed with Slash » 703 weeks ago
I don't think Slash's style is suited to instrumental only.
They can be ok when he does, like watch this!, but generally he comes from an aerosmith-esque 2 guitars intertwine in a rock song context that really needs a powerful front man to match the emotion Slash puts into the strings.
It's odd to me that people don't appreciate Slash's recent works, it's some of his best IMO.
For me it's all about the singers, I just can't block them out.
#3245 Re: The Garden » Professions that attract psychopaths. » 703 weeks ago
Thanks. If you haven't already I can recommend Political Ponerology (monumental work) and The Psychopath Next Door.
Think I'm pretty lucky actually to not have been in much contact with these people. Had one friend who I think was one, but luckily he had to flee the town years ago after putting his girlfriend in the hospital. Maybe a few other suspects, but that might just be variants of ASPD (I might have a small variant myself, relating to premature birth).
They aren't smarter than the rest of us, but those that are can be extremely difficult to spot. The experts say the best giveaway is the "pity play", appealing to your empathy.
#3246 Re: Dust N' Bones & Cyborg Slunks » Zakk Wylde jammed with Slash » 703 weeks ago
They've just made the best Snakepit(-related) album in 17 years.
It's alright, but I'd much rather have Slash do an instrumental album. Something like that could potentially rival CD as the best post GN'R work. It's not that Slash isn't talented, it's that he keeps associating with all these musicians way below his level. It brings him down, not them up. Since he can't seem to find any decent singers he should just flip out the guitar and make a real Slash solo album.
#3247 Re: The Garden » Professions that attract psychopaths. » 703 weeks ago
1. CEO
2. Lawyer
3. Media (TV/radio)
4. Salesperson
5. Surgeon
6. Journalist
7. Police officer
8. Clergyperson
9. Chef
10. Civil servant
This makes me feel so warm inside. It's basically a who's who of the people in society who has the ability to fuck up your life.
Don't know what the hell Chef is doing on that list though.

IF you work in a law firm, media company or police station take a look around. Slowly.
You could easily be working in the company of a psychopath, according to a new book, because psychopaths tend to gravitate towards and thrive in professions that offer power and require cutthroat decision making.
The book The Wisdom of Psychopaths: What Saints, Spies, and Serial Killers Can Teach Us About Success has outlined the ten jobs psychopaths are most likely, and least likely, to be found in.
While most people think of psychopaths as serial killers and rapists - because most serial killers ARE psychopaths - not all psychopaths are murderous.
In the workplace, psychopaths are characterised by their attempts to try to undermine and “mentally destroy” their co-workers to feed their need for a sense of power and domination over other human beings.
A leading psychotherapist last month warned Australian bosses they need to implement strategies to manage workplace psychopaths because they exist in most large companies.
"They don't suffer any guilt or remorse, or in fact they enjoy the suffering of other people," Dr John Clarke told a conference in Tasmania.
The book said psychopaths are drawn to and thrive in roles where people need the ability to make “objective, clinical decisions divorced from feelings”, the Business Insider reported.
Top jobs for psychopaths:
1. CEO
2. Lawyer
3. Media (TV/radio)
4. Salesperson
5. Surgeon
6. Journalist
7. Police officer
8. Clergyperson
9. Chef
10. Civil servant
On the other hand, psychopaths are likely to steer clear of professions that require empathy, human interaction and feelings.
Least likely professions for psychopaths:
1. Care aide
2. Nurse
3. Therapist
4. Craftsperson
5. Beautician/Stylist
6. Charity worker
7. Teacher
8. Creative artist
9. Doctor
10. Accountant

Might be the best picture of him since the 90s.
#3250 Re: The Sunset Strip » Faith No More Guitarist Breaks Silence » 703 weeks ago
Haha. Well, they're already killing off artists past their prime to boost sales, so why not?
But it's got nothing to do with being G. They're maybe not plenty, but those guys are still around. They just don't have the balls to say it like it is once they hit big anymore. Back in the Tupac days you were supposed to be anti establishment. It was as essential to a rapper as a guitar to a rocker. The assassinations changed that.
Obviously you can still say fuck the police and what not, but there's a reason Jesse Jackson was the replacement for MLK. Consciously or not, the message had been heard.
