fotoman Posted March 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2009 yeah, wife problems, money problems, no credit, bla bla bla bla i had a total meltdown this week the metal really did help. Still very fragile - cried at the end of battlestar gallactica - which was awesome, BUT anyway seriously, i totally regressed, drove like crazy kid To be honest, i don't know if its regression? or the music being a real part of my DNA. long long family lines, there maybe some of both. Primal, vrs regression i wish it was more fun than mentally stabilizing. but the good news is, i'm SOOO poor i'm going to talk to the forum about selling some of my pens. I have a model that is Tricky, but i have perfected and there will be some AWESOME models, AWESOME stuff, i think you guys are going to like them got to get some go ahead. there wont be ALOT, they are all 1 off pieces, all different in small ways never 2 the same. all bad ass in their own way. i really really love them. Everyone i have shown them to has flipped out - but i think i'm onto something really special that fits right into the trend were in.

So basically got a front row ticket for the show - paid for it, and some guy gave me 20 bucks to let him jump down no offers for [censored]s. One of my other fraternity brothers did. he turned it down ahhh, the mid 90s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nnomad Posted March 21, 2009 Report Share Posted March 21, 2009 Oh i like this..... im tired of all those souls that complain and cry and.....[censored].............................. [censored] happens..its a damn well known fact!..and to be honest, until not so long ago, my life hit the lowest possible level......then i got my grip back and know im living my dream..im still scared as [censored]..but i made it...and nothing comes close to that.......you have that previlege ...few people have it..........so, ill use the typical " [censored] happens for a reason"..mostly..cause it does, either you decide to correct that, or you just waste your miserable life trying to deal with the fact that you didnt survive, while others made it.............. so.. i cant help to feel identify with your situation, and mostly, i couldnt dare to read that post whitout sending some treatment your way. so here it goes (cause i wouldnt dare to ruin that liberating feeling you are experiencing..) : Soundgarden " blow up the outside world" ........... youtubeit, and absorve the lyrics..its damn refreshing!!!! that will make you feel better mate..and remember, only death has no solution..so, retaining the obvious message.. your attitude will make you survive and laugh about all this really soon..and that is a promise P.S. Hondas are like "quartz" ...they wont ever let you down..focus on that.. cheers mate A. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterOfPuppets Posted March 21, 2009 Report Share Posted March 21, 2009 i think thats the onlytime i saw them - where do yo live, they will tour again good show dream theater=better concert they tour all around EU every year so im sure that ill be catching one of their concerts, i like dream theatre too, most of their old stuff, but sometimes u cant lsn to 2 songs in a row, gives me a headache, just my honest opinion! i love liquid tension, there instrumental project without vocals, outta this world! and btw if u see me in person, i look exactly like john petrucci!!! but i'd rather watch Metallica in concerts, i've been listening to there music since i was 12, so to me they are gods!

Demsey Posted March 21, 2009 Report Share Posted March 21, 2009 If you are going to drive angry, depressed, medicated, listening to Pantera like a maniacal 12 year old, please do so on a closed circuit. Or better yet, in your Speed Racer bed with matching pajamas. TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nikki6 Posted March 22, 2009 Report Share Posted March 22, 2009 Getting to play drums with Motley Crue was my coolest one! Played in a load of glam/sleaze bands in the late 80s early 90's, but that was definately the coolest one!! Playing Wildside on those drums, insane!!!!

fotoman Posted March 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2009 Pantera - yes, i agree, never got into them, but they would hvae worked well. soundgarden - they were one of the bands that got me into metal i remember listening to that over produced snare drum for the first time. i love those guys. everyone else - i pretty much agree too Liqued tension is the shiznit, if you like it - check out Jeff Kollman and Cosmo Squad. More groovy than LTE but the talent is the same level i'm feeling a little better today, i think that the metallica treatment really did help. re: looking like petrucci. I had front row tickets for a G3 show - petrucci, vai and satriani - (ok, all guitar guys let your jelousy out) there will be nothing to ever rival that experience. although there was 1 time i had front row standing to zack wylde jam session, he was like 8 inches away from, i don't think he showered anyway - i took my 6 month old baby to a john petrucci guitar clinic in the baby bjorn he played his whole G3 show with a backing tape. other great concerts anyone?

swissaddict Posted March 22, 2009 Report Share Posted March 22, 2009 (edited) This is a great thread, just what I needed to be reminded of.. and let me chime in with my experience: Few months ago I was extremely depressed.. well, it hasn't been cured but let me tell you, loading up my ipod with "Dirt", "Facelift", "Master of Puppets, "And Justice For All"... has done wonders. Seriously! One night i stayed up for hours listening to these albums and others (Weezer's "Pinkerton", Pantera's "Cowboy's From Hell", Radiohead's "The Bends" and "OK Computer"...etc.).. and somehow it was so therapeutic. I don't understand why, but it helps. Edited March 22, 2009 by swissaddict Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playing Wildside on those drums, insane!!!! thats awesome my top was i had a jam band with a trumpet player that toured with buddy rich. i'm only 34, so i'd probably have rather played with the crue, But swiss addict --- SO FUNNY this whole day started out with me jammin to tunes in my office, hten one of the paralegals came by she likes concerts shes in my same age group, so it was cool to find someone to go with, i have no friends left that will go Anyway - i was making my pitch for DIRT being one of the top 5 or 10 best Metal albums of all time. so, the crazy music started with chains. The damn traffic had me turn the notch up to and justice though this forum has always been more than a band of watch addicts, friends - good times and bad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
