Still a pretty decent read. He's the BBF of the old band, nice guy brought in out of nowhere. I imagine he had to be stoked when he got that call back in 1991. Yeah, I don't think he'll get a call from GnR again. He filled a need, that was all.

In elementary school I was always the last picked for gym teams when they would make the kids choose people.
Does anyone know if schools still do that?? If so gym teachers need to get off their f'ing ass & creative a new way of picking teams ("controlled randomness"). Geez that used to be terrible for a childs morale. Fortunately I was pretty athletic growing up, but there were times I recall being picked pretty far down & it was a terrible feeling.
A couple funny gym class stories, 1 was in high school, I guess it was raining alot one year, so we stayed indoors & played floor hockey alot. This one kid, kindof nerdy, heavyset, in the band, really smart etc, as often, probably picked last alot. We play, and his team forces him to play defense. He manages ok, then after a few days people start to realize he's pretty good at it. Reggie White was big at the time, and nicknamed "Minister of Defense". So after a few rainy gym classes of playing hockey, everyone starts calling this kid the minister of defense. He'd stand back by the net, and just whack away at the ball/puck. By the end of the year, the kid was being picked like 2nd or 3rd.
Another was one time playing football. It was supposedly touch, but at 16-17 it's more like rough touch. Anyway, our gym teacher was an older guy who wouldn't watch or pay attention much, so we play however we want. Well, a different kid (didn't really know him, but again, kinda nerdy) catches a pass over the middle. A kid on the football team (not a total jock, he was pretty cool but a pretty strong kid for high school) comes up and just lays into him. The type of hit you'd see on Sunday. We all hover around him, I'm thinking this kids going to either go home or goto the hospital.. A few seconds tick by, he stands up, spikes the ball and says "Let's go!!" (as in, let's keep playing). Everyone cheers and we huddle up & keep on playing.
Man, I should try and write a movie about gym class. Just like a 1 day in the life of all different events that take place over 5 or 6 different classes & students.

BH I would have never guessed you were a heavy kid. I'm pretty skinny & you aren't much bigger than me. I'm trying to put on 10-15 pounds by hitting the gym.
Don't let it get you down Monkeychow, women can be difficult sometimes. It seems they either date assholes, and those that don't are just dinner whores or think they want an asshole, so when the end up on a date with a nice guy they don't feel cool. I've had my fair share of dates gone wrong, now I don't worry too much about how they go. I just try to have fun, hold a deceent conversation, and if she says she's not interested or blows off my calls, whatever. James had a good post on the original board, something about not being a long term relationship type guy, and enjoying not having someone tell him what to do, if he wants to post whore or go out on a Tuesday night he can do so.. There is a certain freedom to being single, so learn to enjoy it. Also, one thing I've found, is try to accentuate your features, so that because girls often tell me "You're a nice guy" I try to really be just that, a nice guy. I no longer try to be a jerk, a player or anything like that (i never really was anyway) I just be a nice guy & sometimes it works alot better for me that way. Not great but I've made a few more friends by it, and I've learned to "just be friends" with girls as well. I got burned big-time on that one years ago.
DTJ I totally know where you are coming from with that guy. Nice to know other guys that "keep on truckin"

none of it is far-fetched, none of it is fact. we don't know, none of us were there. we don't know the circumstances of any of these supposed events.
I do know that the guys in VR have not cancelled any shows unannounced nor had a habit of starting the show extremely late. I can't say the same for Axl. Having said that, I see no reason to doubt there is some truth to some of the things, partcularly Slash's comment in his book about Axl locking himself in his hotel room. I'm sure stuff like that happened on occasion.
#6758 Re: The Sunset Strip » Post your favourite song lyrics » 931 weeks ago
Not my "favorite", just always liked these. Lemonheads, Outdoor Type:
Always had a roof above me
Always paid the rent
but I've never set foot inside a tent
Can't build a fire to save my life
I lied about being the outdoor type
i've never slept out underneath the stars,
the closest that i came to that was one time my car
broke down for an hour in the suburbs at night
i lied about being the outdoor type.
Too scared to let you know you knew what you were looking for
I lied until I fit the bill god bless the great indoors
I lied about being the outdoor type
I've never owned a sleeping bag never rode a mountain bike
i can't go away with you on a rock climbing weekend
what if somethings on tv and its never shown again
its just as well i'm not invited i'm afraid of heights
i lied about being the outdoor type
Never learned to swim can't grow a beard or even fight
I lied about being the outdoor type

I like the differences between what the guys bought & what the girls bought in this thread?! 
#6760 Re: The Sunset Strip » What do you think are the best produced albums? » 931 weeks ago
If we're talkin' recent albums, I'd say any albums produced by Linda Perry of 4 Non Blondes!!!
I don't know that she "produces" the albums, but she sure has written a ton of hits for pop stars like Pink, Aguilera & Kelly Clarkson.
I'd put American Idiot up there as a well produced album. Considering their previous few albums & sound, it really was a step above.
