#5921 Re: The Garden » The NFL 2008 Offseason Thread » 931 weeks ago
Anyone want to make a pre-pre-season prediction about who'll be the top team? Or who's going to surprise people?
By division winner:
AFC
NE
Pitt
Jax
SD
Wildcard
Indy
Balt
NFC
Phi
Minn
TB
Ari
WC
Dallas
GB
SB - Indy wins on the road to get to the SB, loses to a hot Minnesota team.
Prediction - NE & Indy take a big steps back this year. Indy gets hot in playoffs.
Sry CC & NYG, I wanted to add the Bills & Gmen, but logistically ran out of room.

Tell me about it, I was hoping to give a "Dallas Sucks!!" post in the 2008 Season thread to make it my 1,000th post, but I don't think I'll make it. .:(

I don't see how it's make or break now anymore than it was previously.
It's more of a cliche, but I meant this album could launch metallica into the U2, Aerosmith legendary category, to continue pumping out new music that's relevant for years. To me, PUMP with Janie's Got A Gun (Prolly my fav Aerosmith song) did that even though I didn't like much of their stuff after it, and Beautiful Day did that with U2. They left alot of other hard rock and 80's bands respectively behind. I guess it has to do with making new music for 2 generations. A friend of mine categorizes it as 5 great albums. I guess Metallica has that, although they were underground for most of that time.
I guess it isn't make or "break", more like elevate or continue on making newer music that maybe isn't running on all 4 cylinders.
Again, I think a huge key is Rick Rubin, and how much good stuff he's produced. I feel it.

I was listening to "Better" on my Ipod while running on the treadmill at the gym. I upped my speed to 5.5.

I'd love to do it. That said, I think it'd work best if there was a Cali meetup, NYC meetup, and Europe (London?). Otherwise, for the US, it'd probably be best to have 1 big one in Vegas. Although, I'm not sure due to finances I can make it, worth discussing. I'd definately to an NYC one. It would be cool, put name tags on & run into each other. I'd probably recall some names from HTGTH if they were there.
MSL has a good idea, have a hoarder bring a song, and play it. That way, people can hear they have it, but only really get cell phone recordings of the songs. So it would only add to the aura and demand of the song.

This is true, but she didn't help matters with her acting, which portrayed the character in too youthful of a manner. Actors can change their tone of voice you know. Ledger is a perfect example of that with TDK. Holmes sounded like a naive little girl in BB rather than a mature woman capable for being an assistant D.A.
You make a good point there. Look at the shrink in The Departed. I found it hard to beleive a chick her age would have that gig so young, but she pulled it off extremely well. And she's in her mid-late 20's. Surprised that girl never acted in anything big since, I thought she was amazing.

It is make or break, but even if it's not that good I'd still be a casual fan. I'm not & never really was a huge fan, but I think they were great. Plus, look at the Stones & Aerosmith. Do you think their fans should quit going to shows?? It happens, we get older, so do they.

I'll probably buy the coffin box set. Then watch the DVD once. but whatever, better to have not want than want not have.

Personally, I just don't think he is a blues based rock guitarist and doesn't have that type of skill. He is a more industrial heavy riff guitar player. Slash wouldn't sound too good playing NIN stuff either. Both are talented at what they came up doing. CC, Robin definitely looks more comfortable in those NIN videos and he is kicking some ass. He just always looked awkward to me playing the AFD material.
I agree 100% with this. I don't mind Robin, I just think his attempt at bluesy/Henrixy guitar may not have been fit for him. It'd be like if Dean DeLeo of STP or Stone Gossard of PJ joined NIN. Great guitarists, but it'd probably sound attrocious. On a parallel analogy, if Kirk Hammit or Hetfield tried to play 3 chord punk, it'd probably seem a bit contrived.
