The last 5 years of my life has been a whirlwind. The life experience and education that has occurred over that time has been second to none. I feel the desire to share my story. I hope you won't mind listening.

In the summer of 2006, I loaded up my car with everything that I could fit in it . And it wasn't much. I came bright eyed and bushy tailed. I had all the desire and willingness without any idea what the rules were in the big city . I came here broke and oblivious.

The lessons that the big city has taught me cannot be overstated. In a world with no father figure, no money, and no skills, and no connections....I can only describe this as the epitome of starting over. Laisez-faire....

The city taught me to be a man when no one or nothing else cared to do so.

Fast forward 8 years.....

After engaging in a business partnership that proved enormously successful, the opposite member of said business partnership awoke at the 5 am hour to his naked body laying on top me at a professional conference in which we are to present as a unit less than a few hours later.

He strokes my hair gently as I wake up and attempt to push him away. He repeats over and over again, "are we going to be okay?".....


Months later the most bitter dissolution of business practice commenced in which he took most of the business.

I had to start over...while he took all client referral sources.

In the ensuing months this man bashed me to anyone that would listen. This included showing up unannounced to meet with my clients.

This brings us to October 2012....would you like to know more?

I would guess that Stephanie as more a distraction anyway.

By 2008 are you saying the RosesofVelvet thing?   Just wondering.  Yeah, I always thought more of an open ended topic might be cool.   One thing I always really wondered was who Darknemus [sp?] was over at HTGTH??   I remember he was a bit incosistant with his news & updates now & then, but on the other hand he did have the presale links.  So he had to be tied into the music industry somehow.  Did any word ever leak about that over there, as to what he did?

Yea....I think so....I remember the original site up and dying one day....can't recall the details

Just a suggestion here....but feeling as nostalgic as I do at the moment, I was wondering if you might dedicate some portion of this site to its own history. It's kind of crazy that it still exists. Especially considering the whole issue surrounding about 2008. What do you think?

Really....my question is that general.

I play some decent guitar and sing pretty well. I'm looking to find one or two people to start playing with. I am by no means a professional, but I was in a band that practiced 3-4 times per week about 10 years ago. I'm not ready be a full blown adult.

Also, if someone could give me some basics about equipment and what you have to have these days to be taken seriously. Amps? Pedals? Someone reen lighten me to the music scene.

#4978 Re: Guns N' Roses » Update from Fernando » 673 weeks ago

Yeah, I appreciate the attempt at trying to make us feel apart of this....but gnr never needed help making vague promises and statements about the future that something will happen, and something usually does happen, 1-3 years later.

My point is....it's follow through that they really need to work on. The small, surprise shows with quant audiences are such a great idea. For promotion and good will. For showing that axl isn't always just an ass hole. Ideas like that are golden. And the perfect venue to give snippets of new songs that would tease the fan base into a frenzy.

Yea.... That's what we need more of...

#4980 Re: Guns N' Roses » Cathouse 1989...holy shit » 679 weeks ago

That is really nice stuff...I often wondered why there aren't more concerts available in high quality...specifically from the band. I can't really say why, but I've always thought the Tokyo DVDs were shit. I don't know if they just weren't well done or the band wasn't on their A game. But, I've always thought that the sound sucked. Maybe it's just me..
