Have you seen Winnie Cooper grown up? Holy crap did she get hot.

Great. Watch it hit me walking or something. With my luck, that is how I'll meet my fate.
Really though, how fucking cool of a way to go would that be!?
Problem is you can't tell the story later.
#1003 Re: The Garden » Words/Phrases that I fucking hate! » 909 weeks ago
Here's one I REALLY hate...."homophobic". I don't hate anyone based on their sexual preference, race or whatever but does that mean I can't choose to dislike the fact that nearly every damned show on TV has to have some flaming gay dude in your face? I made a comment around a few buddies the other night about how sick I am of having the media trying to push that shit to the extreme as part of its hidden agenda and one of my buddies' girlfriends (dumbass brought his date to a guy night, lol) had to pop off the "homophobic" card.
Maybe people who say that are just "heterophobic".
I don't think I agree with the "hidden agenda" part, but I've heard that other places before too, so who knows.
I've heard homophobic too from laughing at/making fun of the extreme stereotype gay things. I'm not homophobic, they just need to realize that some of the shit they're doing is funny. When I see the guy with a pronounced lisp wearing a half shirt, I'm gonna laugh, it doesn't mean I have anything against gay people.
I saw a comedian with a great bit about just that once, but I can't find it now. I found this instead though, and a lot of people would call him homophobic just based on the words he's using instead of listening to what he's saying. That's what I hate about the word.

I saw Willie a few years ago. A complete no bullshit show. Play a song. -Thank you. -Start next song.- Repeat. For about 2 hours.
#1005 Re: The Sunset Strip » The Worst Song In History Ever? » 909 weeks ago
I think the title of this thread should be "The Funniest Thing I've Seen All Day". Thanks for the laugh dude.
There are really so many horrible songs that tv stars have done.
#1006 Re: The Sunset Strip » Blind Melon » 909 weeks ago
Haha right. The bands too? He was in the last great American heavy metal band. There's a ton of great new metal bands but none of the come close to reaching the bar Pantera set. Maybe you don't appreciate heavy metal music but to say it sucks because you do not understand it is foolish. If you liked and understood metal than I don't think you would be so quick to say that even if you didn't like them. You can't put down talent and not give up respect to where it's due. Phil Anselmo can write really good deep lyrics and knows how to put together a good song. One of the best metal vocalists of all time. Has pipes singers in other areas of music don't have.
You're absolutely right, but I thought he sounded like shit on that VH1 thing with Alice In Chains. Nothing against him, I just thought it was an off night for him.
On topic for the thread, Blind Melon March 20th, can't fucking wait.

AIC are working on new material. Will prob be released in late 08 or early 09.
Guess I was wrong then, I take back what I said.
I'd still rather see a new Cantrell solo album though

Again, read my original post. My point was that I think it's lame for these bands to carry on as AIC & Bling Melon when it's a drastically different band. It's right there in my post. I don't know why you continue to tke things out of context.
"Same as seeing some perfectly healthy, never touched a hard drug in his life fellow singing "Down In A Hole" and calling it AIC."
See, that's what I wrote. It's calling it AIC that makes me lose interest in it. That's it.
No, I get what you're saying. I did take it as you were saying it's someone singing Layne's personal lyrics though, and I think Cantrell's role in AIC has been horribly undervalued over the years, especially since Layne died. I probably jumped on pointing out that that's a Cantrell song (as are most AIC songs) too much because of that.
Frankly, part of me very much agrees with you and doesn't want to see "legacies tarnished" or whatever, but another part likes Van Halen better with Hagar and Motley Crue better with Corabi. I also know a ton of people who won't give that Motley album a chance just because they didn't want a Motley different than the one they were familiar with.
That said, to the best of my knowledge AIC's just touring and not making new music, that I completely disagree with. It becomes just using the name to get more people to your shows. Blind Melon is at least trying to continue as a band.

Talk about taking my post out of context. Where did I ever say Cantrell shouldn't perform AIC songs anymore? Trying to pass it off as AIC is what I find lame. Jerry as every right to play any AIC song he feels like. I just don't understand why he doesn't move forward and try something new, while playing a few AIC songs to pay homage to his past and please the fans. Just don't call it AIC. It's just my thoughts on it and obviously Cantrell, Axl, and the Blind Melon guys can do wtf they want to. I don't have to agree with it though.
The point I was trying to make was that you referenced not wanting to hear someone other than Layne sing "Down In A Hole" because they haven't experienced what Layne did. Cantrell wrote the lyrics and gave them to someone else to sing by giving them to Layne, and is doing the same thing with the new guy.
I suppose I left the thought a little open ended though.
That said I feel largely the same way you do about the whole thing, while they are touring as AIC Cantrell isn't making any new solo music, and, as I said I love both of his solo disks.
The arguement works here for both of these bands because both singers have very distinctive voices. So by re-forming you walk that line of getting a singer who sounds good, but doesn't sound like they're trying to immitate the guy they're replacing. I enjoy the Unified Theory album, but the singer on it sounds so much like he's trying to be Hoon it kinda weirds me out to listen to it. I haven't gotten that as much from this Travis dude, but I haven't heard a ton yet either. As I already said, I have to see him live to decide for sure.

Ha, yeah. I thought seeing them in May and not getting the album until September was a hell of a long time then.
