Lol how do you get pinkeye in a test lab? Some fecal matter must have been hanging around. I myself have the same brutal cold most people have been dealing with. It’s really knocked me on my ass this week.
That's not the only way to get pink eye. Remember this the first time your kid comes home dripping from multiple orifices from daycare and smears a wad of snot into their eye. And when that happens, be prepared that some well meaning fucking weirdo will offer to squirt breast milk into your child's eye.
I don’t know how the coverage is in Canada, but NBC’s Olympics coverage is garbage. They overproduced the shit out of the opening ceremony last night and talk through fucking everything.
In case you live under a rock, Cape Town is about to run out of water. If I lived there, I'd be packing my shit and moving outta town asap. Any chance in hell Day Zero happens and it all goes peacefully?
I love a good cover. This is not one. I like to hope we were better then this, but we probably weren't. At least we were better dressed and more lively. I also think the keyboard player may be retarded. In other news, I either just scored or got screwed big time. I guess I'll know later this week. Decent 1963 Mantle for $71. I hate buying non graded high dollar cards, but sometimes it's just to tempting...this could be a $300 card. Or I could've just got fucked. Spoiler
I have absolutely zero doubt that my first X bands all sounded that bad or worse... I'm just glad that video cameras weren't something found outside of a professional studio. I used to have parachute pants, a wireless guitar mic, and a big amp. They called me RMS... the Round Mound of Sound. I may have been loud, but I sure was loud. And that keyboard player has the look of a guy who can play Bach, but has no fucking clue what to do with a hair-band metal song.
I'm sure in my mind we were better then we were...and in my mind we sucked. We were always drunk. Hell, I never once hit the stage even remotely sober. We were powered by booze and blow, which at the very least made us entertaining. Somehow we were classified as a "Professional" band, we had a management company and everything. They got us gigs at bars that were rated as A, B, or C gigs. We were a C level band playing all the shit holes. A couple of times we got booked at B bars and fucked it all up by being horrible and drunk. But, by God we had fun.
Being in a band/playing music gets you laid, and when you’re a bar band you get to play songs both you and others enjoy. 0% wrong with that.
It's an interesting dichotomy. The generation before me came of age shooting Nazis and storming the beaches of Iwo Jima. I came of age fucking their daughters. Trust me, playing in backwoods places and taking daughters, sisters, and girlfriends back to the hotel has consequences. We had some very tense situations with angry boyfriends and fathers. Somehow we managed not to get shot, but sweet Jesus were there some ugly episodes that could've gone really, really bad.
Jesus. I never learned this song because my fingers trip all over themselves trying to play it and it annoyed the hell out of me.
One of the worst songs to hear at a music store. My two most hated songs: -Thunderstruck. Most people don’t even try and count the measures. It’s like Dave Brubeck does AC/DC. -Simple Man. Always played like it’s the most difficult song to learn. It’s three fucking chords, man.
Have bands come back around on this song yet? If you could rock it well I knew the band was good, if the band bitched about it even though no one called it out, meant they were usually scrubs.
That's the thing. I've heard so many bands/singers bitch about it, and of the few who actually did it, it wasn't that great. Like as soon as it gets past 10:30, the obligatory warning goes out "first motherfucker to request freebird I'm playing katy perry." Of course, this rarely ends well for the singer once they do this. I've been on too many cruises I think.
Speaking of which, how's the Olympic Village orgy this year? Norovirus turning everyone off, or what?
