#531 Re: The Sunset Strip » Steven Tyler can't sing like he used to » 908 weeks ago
^ I saw Aerosmith 5 times between 1993 and 1998 or 99. They didn't leave the road very long, so if you were a fan and a fan of going to shows, they were always coming around.
That last show I saw was aweful, they were obviously going through the motions. It was also just a hit parade. That's cool for the casual fans, but for a hardcore who'd seen them a few times already it seemed pointless. That's why I have had no interest in seeing them for 10 years.
I only last minute decided to go to this show because it was at one of my favorite places to see a show (Alpine Valley in WI) that I hadn't been to for over a decade, and some friends I hadn't seen in a while were going.
I'm glad I did, it was a great show, and the crack about going again when they start playing Rocks wasn't a joke.
#532 Re: The Sunset Strip » Steven Tyler can't sing like he used to » 908 weeks ago
I saw them Saturday (Great show, by the way only 4 of 17 songs from after 1980).
I didn't know of the plan to do all of Toys on tour until afterwards, I was just happy to have a show that was full of old album cuts. They did Combination on top of all the Toys songs.
Once I found out they had said they were going to play it all, I was a bit disappointed that they didn't play You See Me Cryin'. I guess now I know why.
And Hell, now I'm ready to go again if they're going to start playing Rocks instead.
#533 Re: The Sunset Strip » True Blood » 908 weeks ago
I'm a couple episodes away from the end of the first season. It's pretty good. I'm not as keen on the acting as some others. Anna Paquin is pretty good thus far. You're wife will have to bring you up on alot (obviously) assuming you get interested in it.
I thought the black chick was a horrible actor, but I liked her character. That really irritated me throughout last season.
I don't have cable, but I streamed the episodes on a website that I don't know if it even exists anymore last year, so I don't know if I'll see it or not.
And by the way, the last chick that Sookie's brother was banging in the 1st season has just about the best set of knockers I've ever seen in my life. I think I heard angels sing when they showed them. So if you watch the 1st season and don't like the story, at least you have that to look forward to.
#534 Re: The Garden » Obama to decide how much you smoke » 908 weeks ago
the ones addicted most likely will still smoke, what it will do is decrease the amount of smoking that yout will see on TV and in mag ads and billboards, sporting events etc etc ... reduce the "cool" factor
This arguement always bothered me.
Even as a kid I noticed the main difference between most of the people I knew who smoked and those who didn't.
Whether or not your parents smoked.

That doesn't work. We tried that in the 90s.
Also, why not reduce the cool factor of drinking which kills thousands of teens/college age people every year due to overdose or car crashes?
Because you can't smoke an ugly girl pretty.
#535 Re: The Sunset Strip » Bands you have seen live » 908 weeks ago
I might be the only person that can list White Zombie and Peter, Paul, and Mary - and amazingly enough, it was in roughly the same year.
One summer I saw Weird Al Yankovich, Metallica, and The Monkees.
Our Lady Peace 2x
I saw them opening for Van Halen on the Balance tour (95 or 96 I think) It was odd when they suddenly had a hit a few years ago, I hadn't really heard anything since.
#536 Re: The Sunset Strip » Recommend Me Some Sleaze Rocky Bands Please » 909 weeks ago
Hey whats the deal with LA Guns, isn't that one of those bands where there's like 2 or 3 versions now? Which should I look for to get the sleaze sound...or are they both that way?
I could be wrong, but I don't think either of the split versions has put out any cds. It more touring based on the name and 2 hits from 20 years ago.
To be safe, just be sure to not buy any cds from the last few years.
#537 Re: Guns N' Roses » Bumble playing with Lita Ford » 909 weeks ago
I'd love to be able to see GN'R play at a pizza place.
!
I saw Dizzy playing in a pizza place a year or two ago. Does that count?
#538 Re: The Sunset Strip » Recommend Me Some Sleaze Rocky Bands Please » 909 weeks ago
I think both of their albums are good, but the Union (John Corabi from Motley Crue and Bruce Kulick from Kiss) album "The Blue Room" is great.
I love the line "I'm Jack n' Coke and Candy Bars, you're Champagne and Caviar"
#539 Re: The Garden » The Howard Stern Thread » 909 weeks ago
That's always hard to watch. It's two people who are both used to guiding the interview in the way they want it to go ramming into each other.
I enjoyed it, but it's not really "good tv". Sorta like watching the Fox NFL guys talk over each other for an hour every week.

I just grabbed it for $3.99...downloading now.
wow the Amazon download service is REALLY fast.
Thanks for the heads up man. I was thinking about going to pick this up sometime this weekend anyway, but $4 is plenty cheap enough for me to not have a physical copy of it.
