who gives a flying fuck what axle rose is up to...because of him i now have an aversion to wearing tartan.......

clapton is 59 this year.....jack bruce is 62 and ginger baker is the grand old man at 68.....i hope that a lot of people don`t wind up being very disappointed..if they can pull it off..good on them...certainly an historic occasion....i would say that financial considerations are in the forefront here.....baker maintained in an interview last year that he had " absolutely no interest " in a cream reunion tour...he is/was rumoured to have severe financial problems.....eric clapton also stated in an interview that he was feeling " insecure " and that maintaining his lifestyle and overheads was a worry in todays economic climate......ya gotta feel for them don`t ya.....a great band though....innovators ahead of their time.....

good article dude........ " At the time, Mr. Gates was a notable skeptic, arguing that it was more important to address basic life necessities - health and food, for example - before connecting the world's poorest citizens to the Internet ".....hmmmm..seems to me that billyboy may only have wanted the affluent to be able to access the internet ......

very cool....

good pics..he looks good.........i`ve always liked his rock vocals...just not the sight of his ass.......... FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Real Van Halen Fans Have Had Enough! "A Call To Arms!" (A.P.) Hell, Mich. - Roth Army World Headquarters " Real Van Halen fans have had enough! Van Hagar Can Eat Our Ass!In 1996, 2000 and 2002 we were teased with the possible return of the greatest front man ever: Diamond David Lee Roth! We waited patiently for the new songs that would follow My Wise Magic and Can't Get This Stuff No More and all we got was silence, speculation and an amazing amount of indifference from the Van Halen brothers. Not a nice way to treat the very people that made these 2 drunks multi-millionaires. In 2004 the word leaked out: Sammy "The Scam" Hagar was back in the fold. While trailer park protein gobblers and mullet sporting gas station attendants celebrated, real Van Halen fans cringed. We have finally had enough! Enough of Van Hagar brand fecal syrup rock. Enough of a 57 year old, bloated tequila salesman parading around in Jimmy Buffett wear. Enough of classic Van Halen standards like Unchained and Jump butchered by a hack who hates singing anything from the DLR era live. Enough of crappy, cliche lyrics that make a conversation with Mike Tyson seem deep. Enough of a guy who just sings for his supper and approaches entertaining like a paint by number tool. Real Van Halen fans will not support this trash! " RothArmyFlyer.doc

a great band.........." detroit rock city " would be my favourite kiss track Kiss donated a Kiss Kasket to the family of Damageplan/Pantera guitarist Dimebag Darrell for the metal star to be buried in......(" This is the ultimate KISS collectible, " said Gene Simmons. "I love livin’, but this makes the alternative look pretty damn good.") Darrell was a huge Kiss fan and even had a tattoo of the band on his body. As well as the Kiss tatt, Darrell also had kiss guitarist Ace Frehley autograph it and had that tattooed to his body as well. KISS are the music industry’s all time merchandising and licensing leader with over HALF A BILLION DOLLARS in revenue and 2,500 LICENSED PRODUCTS AROUND THE WORLD........

most of them are scared of gays...secretly, they`d probably like a shot at gay sex themselves...

oh goody......he`s going to finally learn to play the drums properly.......

i don`t really get into hip hop or rap but it doesn`t sound too bad........hard case lyrics....my 17 year old daughter had a listen and thought that it was ok....

" This is all your fault ".....so there!!!

thanx for that dave...welcome to beatking......

i agree...anything else at a " live " concert is just a rip - off...what does dick clark think " live " means??? lipsynch these mothers ashlee..........

'Richfield, Ohio, zoning commissioner Richard Crofoot attempts to ban all concerts at the Richfield Coliseum after witnessing marijuana use at an Elton John concert.' oh god...there`s nothing worse than a right wing loony, low - level, local government bureaucrat with a steel pipe rammed up their ass and a tiny amount of local power..the fuckers use that small amount of power any chance that they get......

good one..congrats.....

very quiet weekend.....just " thwooping " and cruising the `net.....enjoying family life.......

terrible......over the years i have had many friends go under on speed...they call it " P " here in new zealand (P for Pure)...it is a huge problem and a lot of kids my 17 year old daughter knows are into it too..a meth cooker and supplier was murdered in our town about 3 months ago.....he was selling the shit to the local college kids........myself and some concerned parents went round to his house one night and told him to cease and desist his fucking operation.....two weeks later he`s found lying facedown in his driveway .....he was beaten to death in his driveway with an iron bar..........bad news all round..the police don`t seem to be too fussed about arresting anyone at the moment.... :( http://www.mapinc.org/drugnews/v04/n1814/a13.html?233740

amazing!! never underestimate the power of positive thinking...and uric acid...

i feel a download coming on.......

oh no..another one......a great english musician....i`ll go and play low spark of high heeled boys in his honour...... r.i.p. Love and hatred were walking down a heavy road. Love was sweetly singing for she did not mind her load. Hatred looked across and said, "You make me sick to death"! But, love just kept on walking while the wind stole hatred's breath....... Jim Capaldi

nice one guys..his name is michael angelo batio and he played in the `80`s hair band " nitro "..and i must admit that i had never heard of him until now...i will now do penance and track down and listen to and watch everything that he has ever done.... :good job: Guitar One Magazine voted Michael the no. 1 Shredder of ALL TIME in their April 2003 issue.

i`m not saying that it`s not possible..certainly many rockers are/were adept on the double guitar...as dude says...john mc glaughlin, jimmy page (although i don`t hink that he was that good), tesla, george lynch, reb beach, warren haynes, billy sheehan on double bass (fantastic..catch him on steve vai`s video " bad horsie ").....the soundtrack and the playing on that link seem disjointed..is the dude in the vid actually playing it?????

here`s a song for him..... :lol: The Engineers Song Sung to the tune of The Beverly Hillbillies Come and listen to a story 'bout a man named Ted, A po' College kid barely kept his family fed, But then one day he was talking to a recruiter, "They'll pay ya big bucks if ya work on computers", VAX that is ... Terminal's ... Workstations; Well the first thing ya know ol' Ted's an Engineer, The kinfolk said "Ted, move away from here!", They all said "Arizona's the place ya oughta be", So he bought some donuts and moved to Ahwatukee, Motorola that is ... dry heat ... no 'musement parks; On his first day at work they stuck him in a cube, Fed him more donuts and sat him at a tube, "Your project's late but we know what we can do, instead of 40 hours, we'll work you fifty-two!" OT that is ... Unpaid ... Mandatory The weeks rolled by and things were looking bad, Most schedules slipped and some managers were mad, They called another meetin' to decide upon a fix, Their answer was simple, "We will work him sixty-six" Tired that is ... Stressed out ... No social life Months turned into years and his hair was turning gray, Ted was workin' hard while his life slipped away, He was just waitin' to retire when he hit sixty-four, Instead he got a call and they showed him to the door, Laid-off that is ... Debriefed ... Unemployed ... --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
