pizzanooo Posted November 6, 2010 Report Share Posted November 6, 2010 Zappa influenced my musical tastes like no other. So much range in his music over the years, still a joy to find those uncovered songs on a long forgotten tape from back when. Mudshark. A couple of quotes from Zappa: The most important thing to do in your life is to not interfere with somebody else's life. Remember there's a big difference between kneeling down and bending over. Interviewer: "So Frank, you have long hair. Does that make you a woman?" FZ: "You have a wooden leg. Does that make you a table?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subbiesrock Posted November 6, 2010 Report Share Posted November 6, 2010 It stands for Rapid Electron Deployment and I made instrument cables that have such incredible transient response that you actually get more level out of your guitar to the amp. There is an incredible amount of science put into the design and so I really liked the description of moving electrons quickly thru a piece of copper wire. As a scientist, it would definitely be fun to smash a beer and philosophize about this effect ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gimme Posted November 6, 2010 Report Share Posted November 6, 2010 My avatar is from the cover of Charles Mingus' album, The Black Saint and the Sinner Lady. The first song in that album ( ) changed the way I saw (or heard) music. Very influential. Never get tired of listening to that song. Besides, I think it's a cool picture.

krpster Posted November 6, 2010 Report Share Posted November 6, 2010 I agree that it is nice if ones avatar is identifiable as unique to the member. Not sure if they really need to have any deep meaning though. As for mine...I just liked it. I guess I am a fan of the Matrix movies so in that respect I suppose it has some meaning. It actually isn't my original either. It used to be this But then I noticed KDX had the same one (with his name of course) so I found the one I am using now and have stuck with it. That's it.

mastrmindalliance Posted November 6, 2010 Report Share Posted November 6, 2010 hehe, the last two times i changed mine (both Futurama) was because new members appropriated them. I know they appropriated them from me because the were both cropped or altered by me from the original versions found at google. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrgod Posted November 7, 2010 Report Share Posted November 7, 2010 By some coincidence, I got to be member 666 "The number of the beast".. So thinking that an avatar should be something I would like to watch, and have a connection to my membership: I started to look for a good-looking girl in "devil-outfit". These small pixelated avatars seemed cool. Here are some others which I considered to change around. But the little blonde with the shy smile and a tail has followed me in four years. Think I am stuck with her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

modelizer Posted November 7, 2010 Report Share Posted November 7, 2010 Great thread! My avatar just reflects my condition - a serious watch nut who sometimes might be better off in a straight jacket..? Or at least that what the wife thinks from time to time.. And I think that Jeffrey Goines with milgy eyes is perfect to illustrate this.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

valerian Posted November 7, 2010 Report Share Posted November 7, 2010 My avatar just shows a really cool guy who happened to act in a few great movies... I love a great "bad guy" and Joaquin Phoenix is the baddest of them all! As for my signature, it shows my second passion after watches which is fine burgundy wine. It's an aquired taste, comparable to the PAM design. The Chateau Clos Vougeot is a symbol for centuries of wine culture and high quality enology. Kind regards Val.

PeteM Posted November 8, 2010 Report Share Posted November 8, 2010 I always thought you were a fan of Stanley Kubrick's "A clockwork orange" or maybe a fan of Ludwig's Truth is in my younger days I used to dress like a Clockwork Orange along with a few mates.... We would do everything in nadsat etc I love the film, the books (as there were 3), and the music I still blast a bit of the glorious 9th alone in the car!! Takes me back to another lifetime !! Though I was more into Sham69 and the Cockney Rejects then. I still have most of the gear, the bowler, the jockstrap, braces and a shirt with the sewn in eyes etc, which I sometimes dust off for the odd fancy dress. My favourite piece is still my special hunting stick!! I keep that in my car for old times sake!! The sig pcture and wording above is based on the same (Alex being the main character) apart from the saying at the bottom which refers to an old motto - 'The Devil burns with us' Both were big parts of my life and influenced the person I am now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whoever Posted November 8, 2010 Report Share Posted November 8, 2010 @petem: it says "the devil laughs with us".... hope i don't destroy sth here! But that sounds great, i have to admit, i've never seen the movie, i always wanted but missed it every god damn time i could have seen it.... i think last time i was so into a movie was last year: "Hunger" from Steve McQueen (not this one, the other one) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
