Oh my God!

Vinnie was on Jay Leno just now playing with Faith Hill!

I was like, "Was that Vinne?!" I only saw the last two seconds of the song, and then Leno came on and thanked everyone, but Vinnie had his head like perfectly behind a cymbal, so I wasn't sure, then he peaked up, I was so happy.

I also saw a quick glimpse of his traditional hand, and I was like, who else could that be?!

I know I'm a nerd.

[Ill Mitch]

Dream Theater!!!!!!!!!! :D:D:D:D:D

Liquid Tension Experiment!!!!!!!

I'd rather go without LaBrie.

[Seafroggys]

Woah boy, I've pulled Stick Control out of my closet, its been sitting in there for 6 years (since I stopped taking lessons) and I've begun running through it now that I've bought some Viccy MS2s. Its pretty fun, but the flam exercises are **** hard.

And on a side note, for those who even care, I left a message, but no response, so if nothing comes by tomorrow night.....eh, it was worth a shot.

keep trying dude. dont give up yet. call her again. haha.

[Plan B.]

How was the message, good?

I'd say leave it 'til you get back from vacation, or let her know your contact info for while you're on your vacation.

[Seafroggys]

My message was pretty cool sounding and articulated well (I wrote it out so I wouldn't go ummm too much, though I threw some in to add to the authenticity ;) ). Though I think my voice was higher pitched then normal in the beginning, but it wasn't bad or anything.

I'll try again after I get back though, definatelly.

EDIT: I didn't read what I wrote out word for word, so stop thinking I'm a dork. I used it as a guide to what to say (like notecards for a school speech, references to where you are in your speech).

[Josiah]

Ya just got to develope your game is all.

[Seafroggys]

My college schedule next year sucks ***........

Take a look at this.....

EDIT: Nm that looks like crap. Anyway, on mon, wed, fri, I have a 10-11 class, then on those days i don't have anything until 2 and that class lasts until 4. On mon tues wed I ahve a night class from 6 to 9. Also on mon i have a class from 4 to 5.

So basically, i have a 3 hour wait on mon wed fri between classes, i don't have any classes thur, and only a night class tue. That means i don't have many nights off :(

Luckily they're all fun classes though.

[Voodoo Rabbit]

hmm..besides beer I only like jägermeister (or other herb-based drinks) and some good wodka..never got into whiskey or tequila.

Whiskey* is so veryyyyyy yummy....

[Hyde]

Whisky is so veryyyyyy yummy....

Ever had Evan Williams? I'm new to drinking really, but it tastes better than Jack and costs about half as much. Good stuff, but I don't drink whiskey really. I like scotch... Johnny Walker Black. But that's the only thing really.

[TheFrogDrummer]

Hi. New here. I've only read a few messages so far. Are you ALL kids? Jeez, I was hoping this woulda' been a site with some folks with some knowledge, 'cause I desperately need that.

Callin' you old fogies out there. ;-)
Seriously, any help with anyone would be appreciated, young or old. But I need advanced advice.

I'm 33. I just worked my A$$ off for God knows how long, working one sh!+ job after another. Sometimes holding down two and even three jobs at a time!

But it paid off, because now I got over $12,000 and I'm quittin' my day job. I'm keeping the weekend one though (actually getting enough weekend work to almost make-up for the money I'll be losing), but my weeks are totaly free.

I'm building a recording studio. Oh yeah, as good as done. The most high-tech in all of Arizona. Gonna' get me a new computer and invest heavilly in pro-tools gear. But right now, I'm trying to figure out a few things. Trust me, you guys will hear from me in the future. I need a lot of advice.

For one, I'm trying to figure out how to buid my drum kit. I'm no real drummer, I have to put the high-hat on my right. ;-) But I get by.

I found this sweet Gretsch 5-piece with no cymbols or high-hat for $480. I think it's a safe bet I can get the dealer down to $350 at least, esepcially if I mention that I might be back with my twelve grand and that I just might purchase the Fender Jaguar bass hangin' on the wall...

But I'm wondering a lotta' things. Maybe I should go more into detail when I can post my own thread, but I'm just too anxious to figure some o' this S out.

One BIG thing I'm wondering is what's the deal with snare sizes? Bass drums too, I might imagine. Man, it'd be ideal for me if there was a set standard size. I really need to know what the best size is without investing in tons of crap along the way.

I need a better sound than the crap I always had available to me in the past. I always had a real plastic sound with the kits I played with. I need something full.

Maybe getting a few different size snares might be an idea too, I'm toying with. But I'd realy like to keep my spending for each instrument to a minimum, while keeping the highest standard possible.

Then there is the decision on the best sounding cymbols too. And skins, can't forget skins. I really want high quality everything, as I am trying to create studio perfection. If one thing's off, it's gonna' bug the crap outa' me.

Anyhoo, without going into any further detail about who I am, I'll just appologize for the length of this message and end it now. ;-)

Not to be offensive grandpa but u myfriend r clueless. that deal u got, no that not a deal with no hats or cymbAls. it seems to me like u have no real musical knowledge. that whole kit with additional drum HEADS are gonna cost u more than u know. also talking about ur life, whats the deal? u cant even find a PERMANENT ( that means: over an endless amount;, long lasting; durable) job at what? 33? dude, u r 33. u have no life. sorry, but u r desperate. i bet ur marrige life is way gone, if there was ever one. u seem like a gambler to me, concidering u have 3 jobs at a time. and ur strategy: saving up and spending till the $ is gone and then save up again... i mean, whats that all about? thats a technique a 7 year old would know is wrong. i mean, what kinda jobs do u do? a garbage man for three different trucks? u might be 33, but u think like u r ....3? anyway,if i were u i would open my eyes, get of my lazy asce, maybe go to some educational courses to actually live a normal life, and maybe get something out of urself u old lazy piece of crap! jeeze..

Why did you do that???

Did you even read my post???

Hits -Obscurity- in the nuts with his Aheads


:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

[Jezen]

Ohh man, that would really fukin hurt. Seriously, thats like the death blow, only more painful.

[Jezen]

Haha Red n Black that was funny. I read the first part, but I started losing the words in the second paragraph.

[red n black]

^^^ I think the meanest thing was too say he has Aheads. he he ha

And about that text, I wrote that late in the night, I was a bit tired, so I thought:

why the héll use spaces, capitals or even sentences, FÚCK THAT SHÍT!!!

And you should really read the second part, theres references to Beatles and Pink Floyd I think.

[Win A Rabbit]

well my dad didn't take me into work today, after i specifically asked him yesterday if i could work. :upset: occasionally when he does this though, he pays me for 6 or so hours anyways. oh i wish. i'm still waiting for my paycheck from the last 2 weeks to come in. savin up for my new sonors :thumb:

i re-strung my guitar last night after about 6 months, oh it sounds so good. i'm gonna have to play it all day now because it sounds so good.

[trysthedrummer]

Hello all. Hows everyone doing on here. Someone persuade me to buy a Tama Superstar drum ok.

No Aheads here. And there is no way I am reading that eyesore of a post.

[Futuro]

getting an ipod today...(when i get my fat *** of the computer chair) i like how small the ipod shuffle is but im afraid it wont hold enough music, and is it possible to take music off the ipod once you put it into it? like say i fill it up, and i want a different song than one on there, can i take some songs off than replace with a different songs?

[swift]

yes you can replace the songs

[Futuro]

yes you can replace the songs ok thanks!

[Jezen]

I wouldn't get a shuffle. Regular/Mini iPods are that much better because you can use them for practice/gigs.

[Voodoo Rabbit]

You get I-pod sock-ish things now don't you?....
I think it may be a BIT over the top....

[Chris]

Get a Zen!!! Ipods arent that good.

[Voodoo Rabbit]

*Has been listening to the same song for over an hour*....

[Jezen]

That must get annoying. Im listening to Dave Weckl Bands 'Synergy' album.

[Ill Mitch]

Oooh Dave Weckl Band. Good Choice. Have you heard their live album?

[Jezen]

Can't say I have.

[Ill Mitch]

If you want I could send you some of it. It's a fantastic album.

[Jezen]

How would you send it?

[Tim]

dont get an ipod mini. minis suck. the actual ones have so much more space on them and its only like $50 more.

[Futuro]

whats the difference between the mini and shuffle?

[Double Bass Jim]

Weckls band is GREAT, one of the few modern day drummer based bands that are good.

[Jezen]

Mini has 4 times the space, and you can actually choose what songs you want to listen to. It also has games, organiser, clock, alarm, audio preferences, screen.

Shuffle is cheap because you can't choose what you want to listen to.

[Futuro]

Shuffle is cheap because you can't choose what you want to listen to. why the balls would you want that then? fukin things are like 125 dollars (us) and you cant choose what song you want.

[swift]

Shuffle is cheap because you can't choose what you want to listen to.

I have never heard that i thought the Shuffle was like any other flash Mp3 player.

[Futuro]

i really like the size and weight of the shuffle, but if you cant skip around songs that would be pretty lame. or if it is always on "shuffle" i wouldnt buy it either.

[Win A Rabbit]

so i was real bored-like and i set up just my bass, snares, and hats up left handed. and i was grooving alot better like that. i'm naturally left handed, but i've always played on a right handed kit, and with cymbals and everything, left handed feels weird. but stripped down, i felt so comfortable. hmm, now that's a dilemma.

well right now i'm listening to some mozart (yum) and talking to my friend about camping. it's d'amn expensive. i thought it would be $20-ish for a night for all 8 of us. but it's turning out to be $75-90 for a night :amaze: .

[Double Bass Jim]

Haha man your a busy guy!

[swift]

i really like the size and weight of the shuffle, but if you cant skip around songs that would be pretty lame. or if it is always on "shuffle" i wouldnt buy it either.

yea i was just reading about it and it seems that its always in shuffle. I would look into the mini or other companies

[Josiah]

I just have a 20 gig'r

Works great for me, also use it to swap music/files with friends as it acts just like a portable HD too.

[Plan B.]

Hello all. Hows everyone doing on here. Someone persuade me to buy a Tama Superstar drum ok.

Uh, do it?

[Double Bass Jim]

Don't do it trust me.

[Ill Mitch]

So I just got a cold. It pretty much sucks. Anyone else been sick recently?

[Sick-O]

Get a Zen!!! Ipods arent that good.

[Jezen]

Lol Plan B.

Yeah Faith, it is ALWAYS in shuffle mode.

[Tim]

hahahahahaha :lol:

[Win A Rabbit]

haha look at the kid fall. :lol:

[Josiah]

Dang that was one heck of a slap.. hahaha


On a side note the right side of my back is absurdly sore.. I think it was from a hard wipeout surfing yesterday..

[Win A Rabbit]

well, listening to mozart has "inspired" me to write a song in the style of a symphony. i've done some small bits like it, but i want a huge song. wish me luck :thumb:

[Double Bass Jim]

Man I love classical music.

Check out some Paganini and Bach :cool:

[Futuro]

i have some artsy asian music im uploading to post here, you guys might appreciate it. if you have ever seen a traditional asian movie, its the same stuff that provides ambience for the scenes.

[Win A Rabbit]

^ i'd love some artsy asian music. i'm always into the good ol' "unconventional" (think that's the wrong adjective here, but oh well) music when i'm just bored on my computer.

[PowerStamp]

OBSCURITY!

I just saw your avatar again and I just remembered:
3 Inches of Blood, that guy is no longer the drummer. I think he either quit or got kicked out.


Just days away from their U.S. tour with Chimaira et al, 3 Inches Of Blood have announced the departure of drummer Matt Wood. According to the band, "Matt informed us last month that he would be leaving the band once we got home at the end of June. The reasons given were both musical and personal, but there's no animosity between us. We respect Matt's decision, but are moving forward and still playing." For now, the group has enlisted the services of drummer Alexei Rodriguez (ex-Walls Of Jericho, Catharsis).

[Senseless Apprentice]

Whats wrong with Superstars? (in regards to Jims post above).
Thanks.

[Double Bass Jim]

What ever drummer needs in his practice arsenal!
http://elementweb.com/upload/uploads/Stick Pad And Click.jpg
:cool:
I just picked up the new vic firth pad, i've had the corpsmasters for awhile and the good ole' MA-30 click. I looked all over for my stick control book to add in and can't find it :( I tore the house apart lookin for it too.

Sure beats playin on the top of an old throne like I used to down here :lol:

[ThugsRook]

you need to dump that vic firth stuff and come home to promark ;)

i always end up twirling the sticks and practicing BD combinations with my feet ~ rudiments, i need to practice rudiments! http://users.adelphia.net/~d2rook/pics/wut.gif

[swift]

i just bought that pad today.

[Tim]

i need to go out and buy a practice pad.

[Plan B.]

The Click sounds like a military weapon.

[Double Bass Jim]

Haha I gave up on pro-marks years ago, the ralphs are some of the best pad sticks you can get SD1's are good pad sticks too.

Yeah, those corps masters rule for practice sticks, I picked up a pair for pads (or in my case...pillow), I'm already noticing results when I go back to my usual sticks. Great for building up wrist and finger strength. Stick control is great, I've been working on doing those exercises with the hands and feet, to build chops, and for some awesome beats, rudiments used in beats and grooves can sound pretty awesome.

[Double Bass Jim]

Deffinlety man, keep workin those fingers!

[maxthedrummer]

sorry to change the subject, but how to you pronounce vinnie caluatia (no idea how to spell it)

[Seafroggys]

Ralph's are okay, but everybody uses them. THere's better out there.

Try Jim Cassella Corpsmaster sticks. I fricken love those things.

The best chop builders from my experience are the MS2 Corpsmasters. I just bought a new pair and have been working Stick Control for the past couple of days on my old Ludwig Vacuum pad! :lol:

[Double Bass Jim]

Ralph's are okay, but everybody uses them
For good reason ;)

[tigerstripes]

I got some Pro Mark TXDC3SW marching sticks, but I dont use them much I got them to try out different sizes and feel. My question maybe silly and noobish but Im not to proud to ask. Why does the heavy sticks build chops better? Because of the weight? Or the size or the combination, I would love a short explantion please, thank you.

[Seafroggys]

Just like how everybody likes Travis Barker for good reason?

[Win A Rabbit]

sorry to change the subject, but how to you pronounce vinnie caluatia (no idea how to spell it)
i say it "call - eeee - oo (as in tooth) - ta"

well i just got back from my friends, and we were watching harold and kumar. wow, i saw it before and thought it was funny, but the second time around was torture. i have to say, i hated it this time. and i was supposed to go into work at 7, but now i'm getting a ride in at 10, and working till 5. 3 hours less than i wanted, but money is money i guess. i think i'm mowing again tomorrow, which is a good thing. i can even bring my new discman. :thumb:

did anyone see conan yesterday? max went to ozzfest, and said mastodon, shadows fall, and lamb of god were amazing. i don't like shadows fall, but the other 2 are amazing. i woulda never have guessed max to say that.

[Plan B.]

Yeah I saw that!

I was like sweet, Max is so gnarly.

By the way, I pronounce it "Call Eh Ou Tah".

[Jezen]

Jim, I know your online right now. Tell me your AIM/MSN/ICQ and I will send you Stick Control.

[Jezen]

Vinnie Colaiuta.

Cool-ee-aa-taa

[Double Bass Jim]

It's around here somewhere I don't need a copy.

[Josiah]

Vinnie Colaiuta.

Cool-ee-aa-taa


Not quite.. Call-E-Oo-Ta

That would be the best english pronounceation, though not the true as it is a foriegn name.

It's Italian.. like my last name, Micheletti.

[Jezen]

Well ill pronounce it as I do until I meet him, then I will just call him Vinnie.

And Jimmy, if you don't find it, you know who to ask.

[Double Bass Jim]

Lack of respect to vince is a banable offense!

[Plan B.]

:lol:

[Jezen]

:O

I love Vinnie! He rules! He has always been one of my top favourites.

[Josiah]

Lack of respect to vince is a banable offense!


Very much so!


Vince is a great guy, so passionate about playing drums. Lucky are those who get to meet and talk with such an amazing player.

[CombatWombat3]

Ya, so I haven't slept all night, and I have to work in abour 4 hours. I work at my school doing custodial work/housekeeping, and then go work at a theater. My show opens on Friday, so I'm kinda nervous. I do technical work, mostly lighting and sound.

[Voodoo Rabbit]

Ohhhhh, good luck (or break a leg or whatever) with your show....


That must get annoying.

Naw, not really. It kind of Ambient music, it's really nice but it's making me all sad....

Yeah Break a light......

Aw crap, that guy was hilarious. Maybe he will take up a solo career as a clinician. His lessons will be booked as the comedy slot on late night talk shows.

Edit: I have never heard the band, I just couldn't stop laughing when I saw the thread with his pictures. Most people think it is Will Ferrel in my avatar.

[Japan3gro]

Jim you get props for the good ole Korg metronome haha. I went to GC and they were trying to sell me the Tama Rhythm Watch so hard.

Also Karizma 'Document' album... most drummers don't even understand the complexity of what Vinnie plays enough to fully appreciate the absurdity of what he plays.

[billdrum]

Vinnie is amazing, and somehow, underrated.

[Double Bass Jim]

Also Karizma 'Document' album...
"Come on down here vinnie..."

[Half Life]

^Hahahahaha lmao

[Ill Mitch]

Dave Weckl Band is going on tour!!! I'm so excited.

[Win A Rabbit]

Jim, I know your online right now. Tell me your AIM/MSN/ICQ and I will send you Stick Control.
considering the stores around my town are idiotic and won't order things in, i'd love a copy of stick control. i'll buy it someday, but for now i may have to settle for :amaze: piracy! :amaze:

if it's ok,

say_days_ago8@hotmail.com

[poppinfresh]

**** YOU EVERYTHING. THE Waldfredo clinic starts in friggin one hour and i cant go. Everything is big suck!!!!!

[Plan B.]

Just go man.

:lol:

[poppinfresh]

i knew i should have gotten my liscense, i hate this. Its just killing me. I missed a steve smith and mangini clinic for the same reason. its too far. its 15 minutes by car.

[Tim]

im old enough to get my liscense but i havnt gotten it yet. im just gonan wait til i turn 18 in november

[Win A Rabbit]

i've been able to get my learner's since mid-july of '02, but i still haven't :lol: i won't have my driver's until after i'm 18. i just can't scrape out the money for a car, gas, insurance (insurance is so friggin' high where i am for a teenage male, it's insane. is it like that everywhere?)

[Tim]

yea i couldve gotten my liscense like a year and a half ago.

[Obelisk]

I was quoted around $500 / month - I'm over 25, but let my insurance lapse - they consider me a new driver. Sucks to own a car and not be able to drive it.
I've been driving for over 10 years. It's quite absurd if you ask me. A friend with a DUI pays less than I've been quoted - where's the sence in that?

[The syllek attacks]

I'm 16 and my insurance is ubsurd its like 1000 a year, my family is paying an arm and a leg and I don't get 1 doller of coverage.

[Plan B.]

Oh my God, you missed the Steve Smith?

That clinic changed the way I play drums.

[-TheGlassPrison-]

Meow.

Vinnie is amazing. I don't know why some other people aren't as impressed by him.

[poppinfresh]

Oh my God, you missed the Steve Smith?

thats ok ive seen hundreds of other drummers that have helped me improve my drumming.

[CombatWombat3]

^^ Hundreds?

[poppinfresh]

i have a drumheda signed by kenny aronoff that says (myname) you rock dude! smileyface. signature.

[Futuro]

[poppinfresh]

[poppinfresh]

[Futuro]

my mom is kicking me out and selling my stuff.

[Seafroggys]

Have you missed like the past 5 days in this thread?

[Win A Rabbit]

i had a s'hitty day today. boo. well i got my guitar here to soothe me :lol:

[Tim]

more liek past 20 days :D

[Seafroggys]

Hahaha. It might seem like 20 days, but check the posts, the initial post I made of this was Saturday.

[morrissey]

Posting in Drum Stronghold. :eek:

Hello everyone I don't think I know 95% of you.

[Double Bass Jim]

Whats up mo-mo.

[morrissey]

Whats up mo-mo.
Hey Jiji I just came around to encroach on your territory, hope you don't mind.

How are things?

[Double Bass Jim]

Goin good, how's the coffee biz? :)

[morrissey]

Goin good, how's the coffee biz? :)
haha it's going.

But I have tomorrow off. :-D

How's the pool business?

(this is such an AIM conversation out of AIM)

[Double Bass Jim]

Seasons almost over :cool:

[Jomofo]

Man...is Faith's mom selling his drums?

[Double Bass Jim]

I don't know that'd be a terrible thing if that happend.

Reconsider and don't drop out man! Finish school then jump into the work force :cool:

[Jomofo]

I agree with ya Jim...but that'd be just cruel. Can we start a Faith Fund?

[Voodoo Rabbit]

I can't say anything, except I hope it all works out, faith+1....

[Tim]

that would greatly suck major *** if faiths mom sold his drums.

[Jezen]

I think OsirisX should give his raffle money to faith.

[Tim]

i wonder if osirisX accepts coupons that add up to a dollar :D

[The syllek attacks]

Hey faith do, you have a friend you could bum with until things sort themselves out, cuz the last thing I want to see is someone go out on the streets.

[Tim]

NOOOOO!!!!. we ran out of mountain dew :(

[Plan B.]

I need to vegetarian.

I'm going to start this Sunday, and go for a week.

Doesn't seem hard, but this is coming from a guy who eats fast food like 5 times a week.

[red n black]

I feel your pain, man.

I hate running, de e mesigt.

[Win A Rabbit]

hey british boy, can you hit me up with stick control? i need something to do tomorrow, since i have the house to myself all day.

[Plan B.]

So, a breakthrough.

I think I managed to run up the hydro bill so huge while my parents were away, that now my Dad actually wants to shut off the AC! I can only guess that comfort for him comes second only to saving money on bills.

I'm joyous.

Where do you live? In some places, Seattle for example, summer can be bearable without ac. But if it's not, you can always just dig a huge hole in the ground and hide in there during the day. I'm sure that would keep you cool.

[Jezen]

Sic, whats your MSN/AIM/ICQ?

[Jezen]

3:10 AM.

Goodnight MX. Sic if I see you on in the morning ill give ya Stick Control.

[Double Bass Jim]

my Dad actually wants to shut off the AC!
Haha man we put in a nice box unit in the living room a few weeks ago, it was almost 100 the other night and I slept in the living room with that thing on full blast. I put a sheet in front of the hall so it would trap the cold air. Man I tell ya cold air makes ya go to sleep INSTANTLY.

I woke up and looked at the thermostat it was 61 degrees in the room :lol:

[Plan B.]

Jesus! I'd be frozen.

I like it at a nice 80*.

Cold air reminds me of being sedated.

[gastery6]

When I got to sleep its a nice tempiture but when I wake up it is so hot so I cant relax when I get up. I have to go straight to my basement.

[Double Bass Jim]

Cold air reminds me of being sedated.
Thats what I like man, total cryochamber style. I wanna get a box unit for my room and crank it up. Get it down to 50 in there hahaha

[Plan B.]

Bwahah, you're cold blooded.

[Win A Rabbit]

i'm like you jim. i love cold rooms, blankets, pillows, etc. i can't stand being hot when i'm trying to sleep, but i have to sleep with a blanket, which is very counter-productive.

well i just got back from my friends house. we went for groceries (i got 2 pizzas and 4 sparkling water things, oh they're so good, and dirt cheap. 89 cents per litre. the pizza's were $5 each, and they're so good too. i love no-name food) and then we watched one of the worst movies ever made: "out cold". there should be a ban against these movies. i was able to predict the whole movie (80% accurate by the way) after watching the first 10 minutes.

bb, my msn is say_days_ago8@hotmail.com

thanks in advance, i really need something to do nowadays, rudiment-wise.

[The Fiction We Live]

That sounds good to me... really good.

[Double Bass Jim]

Haha for sure man, fill all the windows with a unit each! :lol:

[The Fiction We Live]

I love it being cold. When I pick up friends in my car they're always like "It's really cold can I turn down the AC?"... I hate being hot and sticky and sweaty... cold is the way to go. Maybe thats why I quit soccer and football and took on hockey years ago... Nothing like a building with a giant ice cube in it.

FOREVER...FOREVER...FOREVER!!! (the sanlot) :naughty:

[The Fiction We Live]

You must first travel to the top of Mt. Vasuvious and come back with one of the sacred MX boulders. Anything less than 200lbs will make you have to go back and get another one. AND NO ROLLING IT DOWN!

[Behind Zildjians]

[Japan3gro]

[The Fiction We Live]

[Tim]

Hey forgottenDRUMMER... is that avater from the Chimpokomon episode?

its from the one where the mongolians keep knockign down the wall that he built(guy in avatar). after the parents kick all the kids out of the town because of kidnappings or whatever it was.

[-TheGlassPrison-]

[Tim]

ive gone.... 2 weeks w/out sleep dude, its not vital... but yeah your right after 2 weeks, boom your out

i doubt you went 2 weeks strait wihtout sleep. you probabyl dozed off after day 2. possibly to day 4.

[Behind Zildjians]

i know its not that believable, but the combination of insomnia, nightmares the days before, and coffee kept me up

[The Fiction We Live]

Hahahaha I remember that one. I think the parents sent their kids out on their own will keep the parents from molesting them or abusing them (one of the two).

[-TheGlassPrison-]

rawr.

[Tim]

Hahahaha I remember that one. I think the parents sent their kids out on their own will keep the parents from molesting them or abusing them (one of the two).

Yeah, i take showers daily, but I generally feel like showering more often in summer, especially after drumming.

[Tim]

definataly after drumming cuz then youre all sticky and sweaty and its uncomfortable.

[PowerStamp]

this is bs... im goin to play drums later guys
You better live in Europe or something like that, otherwise how the hell are you playing your drums at 12 AM? lol

What games are all of you playing lately?

I'm currently playing:
Coded Arms (PSP, just beat the final boss and screwing around on Infinite mode when bored)
Bloodrayne 2 (PS2, just bought it, been meaning to for a long time)
Burnout 3 (PS2, same deal)
Prince of Persia (PS2, same deal. Jeez)
Splinter Cell Pandora Tomorrow (PS2, ****it same deal)


I'm a lazy gamer, but when I go at it I go nonstop.
I'll probably be up for the next 3 hours playing Prince of Persia or SPlinter Cell

[Josiah]

Um well.. I'll contribute..


Tomorrow, er today.. I have to go get TB test for my new job. AKA BullSH*T. Lets see.. I'm drunk as skunk at the moment.. maybe I'll go fishing tomorrow, I spy'd a gret spot today.. maybe go look at more trucks, I could work on my tan and swim in my pool..

Or... my favorite. Hit golf balls really hard at gaint glass buildings. GOLDEN!

[red n black]

hats a TB test???

I don't know what to do today, it's sunny outside, but it's windy too so I don't think I'll be going out. I think I'll drum a bit.

Maybe go to a concert tonight, I don't really.

What music you all listening too???

right now I'm listening too Metallica - Invisible Kid

I know, I think I'm going upstairs and watch a DVD, either Pink Floyd - Live at Pompeji or the Led Zep DVD.

[Josiah]

TB test... Tuberculosis test..

Pretty standard for most State employee's.. totally bogus too considering TB has been wiped out, ever infant gets a booster and I haven't heard of anyone having it.. well EVER...

I was going to watch Arlington Rd. but my plans have been foiled yet again.


I shall finish my 40 (Sublime plays in the background somewhere) and then pass out in my gaint water bed...

[Double Bass Jim]

"You've got TB son.." TB!?! Two bellys.

[red n black]

^^^ Of course, two bellys...

One for "normal" food.

And one for Candy. :D

Though I'm sure Jim quoted some movie or something. Am I right???

[Double Bass Jim]

An old stooges joke.

[red n black]

What is Stooges??? a tv show???

I live in Sweden, I know nuthin'

[Josiah]

What is Stooges??? a tv show???




Awwww the 3 Stooges!!!!

Come ON!!

[red n black]

^^^ Come ON, what!!!

Don't yell at me, hook me up.

[Josiah]

I ain't got nothin... Google. You'll find TONS of stooges stuff.

Emule prob has most the episodes and movies on it. I know my dad has pulled off some pretty rare stuff usin EMule.

Aim?

[red n black]

no AIM.

It's OK I'm checking it out.

http://www.threestooges.com/

[Jezen]

Its funny that hardly anyone uses eMule, but its where most stuff is.

[demondrummer1]

I use eMule, everybody must get their stuff from me!

[Jezen]

im always gettin stuff off eMule. My Hilary Jones/Vinnie C vid will be done soon. My other Virgil vid finished this mornin.

[red n black]

YO, everyone I'm going to a concert tonight. With Pedalens Pågar, not that you know who that is. It's a Swedish band. Translated to English their name would be The Pedal Boys, pretty stupid when I think about it.

Rock n Roll :)


EDIT: Page Snypa, Biatch :cool:

[Voodoo Rabbit]

I went in search of the site (emule), trying to get the 'Soilder Of Fortune' game....
Needless to say, I found a Shakepeare website....
