Good God, after watching that video I see why they're called cramps cause that's what they gave me. Can you get me some prescription Immodium? That hurt to the bowels.RollTide said:
Brussel Sprouts are better, saute them in butter with a little lemon pepper sprinkled over them. Link this to the recipe thread...

Well Cruds, I've been playing in town for about ten years and one thing i've noticed is that things can change really fast here. I played down on Broadway for several years and I've seen some really unbelievable musicians come and go. Pound for pound there are better musicians in this town than anywhere I've ever been. I couldn't even really name an "all rock" venue here. Trust me, I love almost every kind of music but I've yet to come across to many really good rock bands. I've seen a couple but I couldn't even begin to tell you their names. Most of the talent I see are playing more country than anything else or at least playing in a country bar, not neccessarily playing country music.
Really, I couldn't agree more... I feel like I'm back in high school arguing over who's better Metallica or AC/DC.... and on and on and on. We all have different opinions and none of them are really to far off..
As for good local music... I'm always up for that. What do you recommend? I love any excuse to get out drink some beer and listen to live music. I'll take almost any kind of live music over Rap, Hip Hop, and specially dance clubs.. Barf! Do you play out anywhere? What's the scoop...

We play out locally at all the places up on the Rock Block (The End, Exit In) as well as The Springwater, The Gibson, 12 and Porter, The Muse, The Pond, Rutledge, Mercy Lounge and a few of others that do Rock pretty regularly. If you hit Springwater or The End on any weekend you'll get a loud dose of local Nashville Rock n Roll. We are taking Aug and Sep off - saving it up for Oct. which is our big month where we will play a bunch of big Halloween shows here and in Atlanta.. You can hear some tunes on the links in my sig or check out a recent solo tune I did which I recently posted in another thread: http://jeanoroid.com/fried-chicken.mp3
Local bands I'd recommend are Hillbilly Casino, Falls City Angels, Cretin Grims, Legendary Shack Shakers. For traditional metal, the best locals I've seen is Disarray.. A pair of upcoming can't miss shows are The Reverend Horton Heat, Hank 3 and Nashville Püssy @ The Mercy in Nov. and just prior to that Unknown Hinson is playing the same venue. Good stuff..
If success is a measure of talent, then Johnny Ramone kicks Kirk's azz. :grrhee:
Speaking of Nashville acts, does anyone know if any of the guys from Screamin' Cheetah Wheelies are playing around town?
I see that the singer has a new solo release, but I'm wondering about the other guys...

Really??
I would be interested in seeing a comparison of album sales between the two... I would bet Metallica has sold more. I don't really give a crap but I bet they have.rcarie said:Really??
If it was internationally, The Ramones would have sold more, just domestic sales and probably Metallica...
Metallica was pretty big world wide... I'd say they would've sold more all together (probably not even close)... No offense, but who listen's the Ramones?? Punk Rockers maybe... I've been listening to them on their web site and to say that the Ramone guy isn't a hack on the guitar and Hammett is... I don't think so... We need an Old fashion head cutting contest. That guy is sloppy.Creeping-Cruds said:

I'm not saying Metallica hasn't sold records outside the US but The Ramones have mad record sales abroad. They cross the genre boundaries and everyone from Norwegian satan-metal kids to South American Pop fans buy Ramones records. They riotted to get into Ramones shows in other countries - kids went nut wild.. On guitar Johnny Ramone is 3 chords and a cloud of dust, nuthin technical but beautiful angry barre chords that inspired generations. The irony here is that Kirk Hammet worshipped Johnny Ramone and they were best friends right before Johnny's death...

"All Bar chord" rock is boring to me. You were talking all about scales and this and that and then you say the Ramones guy is a "3 chords and a cloud of dust" ...uh I guess... Either way i guess you like em because of their songs... And you should. We just have different taste... That's obvious.
rcarie said:
To clarify, I like some bands that work with the basics and some that get a bit more technical - it's not a prerequisite either way for me..
Ramones gets my vote for best cover ever of "Time Has Come Today"

As much as I love The Ramones I gotta go with The Angry Samoans version of that tune...

Seriously?
When I think of Nickleback I think of Bill the Butcher from Gangs of New York when he says "You are lukewarm, neither hot nor cold, so I will spit you out of my mouth..." I swear he's talking about Nickleback...

If that's what floats your boat - cause you gotta keep your boat afloat..
I saw Nickleback live a few months before How You Remind Me went big for them.
It was a small venue with maybe 2000 people there at the most. They seriously rocked & played a great gig. Screw public opinion,if you like them that's all there is to it.
Not my favorite band by any means but I do like them.
