I don't get the Taylor hate. I mean, I get it, the whole 'she only sings songs about 15 yr old breaking up with their boyfriend etc'. But purely talent, she can do 'pop' up their with Lady Gaga & Katy Perry, but also sing folk/rock like the tops.

This topic still holds relevance. If only we could guess why?
I forgot about Paxcow.

One you forgot was Skynyrdgirl. She was attractive but after a while became obvious she enjoyed posting pics on a forum full of guys. Kindof an early instagrammer before it was a thing
Yeah she was really something and yeah... definitely got off on the attention.
She also didn't like the few female members of the forum....as if they were competition or something.
Acquiesce was like the anti Skynyrd Girl. She went above and beyond the call of duty to not point out she's a girl to the point that the majority here didn't even know.
I remember telling her back then she could've been more popular than Skynyrd Girl. She was insanely attractive in that girl next door way along with being really intelligent. Could craft lengthy posts putting any male nerd to shame..
Yeah I remember Synrdgirl didnt like other females and definitely was a competition thing. I remember Acquiesce but didnt know she was a girl, although it sounds familiar, I think it was brought up in a post and I was one of them who was surprised. LLL was cute too, shy, I think she was only here for a short time and between bfs.
Mike Guiliana was a nut. Didnt know he knew DTJ. We wrote on htgth once or twice, he was like a plumber for new skyscrapers and buildings and like broke his wrist. Was out of work for like 6 weeks and accrued about 10,000 posts in such a short time. There were days he posted almost every minute.
Yeah CC was young. Probably only around 30 by now. I think he went to college and barely posted for a year, then dropped off.

CC & DTJ stand out. Tejastech & backslash were pretty big posters. Tommie & Jimbob were here a bit few years ago, myb during NITL tour.
I forgot about LLL, wonder what happened to her. One you forgot was Skynyrdgirl. She was attractive but after a while became obvious she enjoyed posting pics on a forum full of guys. Kindof an early instagrammer before it was a thing.
Yeah i miss those years. In some ways this place helped me out thru some tough times and ife. Cant explain why im always here, like an escape from my real world.

My brother had that album Exile In Guyville pretty early on. Listened to it alot & ended up buying it in the later 90s. Took a while to get it, very primitive, raw, indie lo-fi recording. Yet there's talent there, and the lyrics were open & putting herself out there.
I agree the timing was right for it, 93-94 was definitely the peak of the 'alternative' years, getting into post-grunge, had previous female alt-rock submissions by L7 & 4 Non Blondes, Juliana Hatfield etc. Sky seemed to be the limit, I think it was just a little bit to lo-fi, almost a 4 track sound. I thought she'd blow up in 96 or so with her followup Whitechocolateeasteregg or whatever, but I heard the first song & remember thinking it wasn't gonna be a fit. Too much the opposite, overproduced, almost aiming toward Cheryl Crowe.
She did a great version of God Bless America years ago at the World Series. Great voice.
#76 Re: Guns N' Roses » Axl and The Boss.... » 237 weeks ago
Interesting vid & yeah cool take on it being sorta 'the last time' we got to see the OG Axl.
Yeah, I'd love to see even a 20/20 or 60 Minutes interview of him. Just what happened. TBH, in addition to what Wags said about money & success early, infighting & the band leaving etc, I think the element of crazy or perfectionist factors in. Kinda like Michael Jackson, had somewhat 'all the money in the world'. Live in a mansion, buy expensive cars etc. Collect Royalties. I'd be curious how much they made those years 95-00. IMHO in the US Guns kinda wasn't hot thru 94, and fell in between in old style traditional radio by not yet being Classic Rock, and not New/Alternative. I'm not sure sporting stadiums were playing WTTJ or PC yet either due to their topical matter (drug use etc). Both seemed to come back around in the early 2000s imho.
I think I posted this before but here's a link to a college alumni magazine of mine where a graduate worked in Atlantic City hotels. Of note to the right in one of the final paragraphs mentions Axls need to fully drape his hotel room. Also earlier it mentions his 2am room service order. Just kinda shows the guys a bit nuts, although, in Rock N Roll maybe those two aren't quite so extreme (the wording of the draping requirement seems to indicate it was a bit testing her patience, so I'd read between the lines with that. I didn't know her btw, she's much younger)

Crenshaw, Kinzinger & Sasse should be looked at as the future of the party. Nikki Haley will definitely run as well, I'm not sold on her I think she got the bare minimum qualifications (UN appointment for 'International Experience' to suit her Presidential ambitions) then packed it up & packed it in, so will now wait until 2024.
Sounds like a complainer.
#78 Re: The Garden » NFL 2019 » 238 weeks ago
Colts got Wentz. So far it seems a 2021 3rd rd pick and 2022 2nd rd pick. If Wentz plays 75% of snaps OR 70% & Colts make playoffs the 2022 pick is bumped up to their 1st rounder.
Summing it up, likely the Colts 2022 late 1st round pick & 2021 3rd rd pick.
Possibly Colts 2022 2nd rd pick & 2021 3 rd rounder.

A good read about how secret deals were made to keep Trump out
The horror. A coordinated effort to keep the losing candidate from not assuming the Presidency. Totally unprecedented. You gotta spread that word SG, people haven't heard of such illegal crimes yet.

Yeah, wow! Before clicking the link I wasn't sure exactly the point but he was quite hidden then and it was a different era (lack of photos). Most seem familiar but we've been on the boards & stuff for 15-20 years at this point. Heckuva compilation.
Are you like students doing a project or something?
