Wu tang clan ain't nuttin ta fuck with
I saw Wu Tang in '93 before 36 Chambers was released. They were so good.
"Obstacles are stepping-stones That guide us to our goals"
a good friend who i skate with all the time was actually in a video of theirs that was never released for "crash your crew". look it up, it's pretty awful haha.
-
Awesome Jestre! I need to post mine too if I can remember where they are!
Shoque, get more disk space quick….
-
No lie to that G!

@riffblaster:
one of my real good friends is actually Slash's guitar tech and he's 100% an awesome dude too. I was just seriously taken aback by somebody like Duff knowing who my band was and actually being so outgoing about it.
You guys are pretty well known though Nate, I knew who you guys are before I signed up here….just didn't wanna come across as all "hey you're that dude from Converge", as I'm clearly far too cool for that
-
Everyone is too cool to care who I am!
In all seriousness though there are worlds of difference between the small amount of popularity my band had been lucky enough to receive and what somebody like Duff has lived so it just surprised me that somebody like that was even aware of us.
-
Yeh, I get that. Like you say I think it really helps that Duff clearly fucking loves music, as does Slash.
A friend of mine (massive Kiss fan) told me that Slash once tried out to be the guitar player in Kiss but was rejected for being too young. Anyone know if that was true?
-
I think he was rejected because he was too good

today's mission….ask my buddy and find out for you mega

Great list Red, I saw Iron Maiden open for UFO on the Killers tour with Paul Di'Anno and every time they played
here after that until Power Slave.
I was lucky enough to meet and chat with Clive Burr on the Killers tour, I was very saddened by his passing.nice Blackheart, seeing Maiden with Di'anno and chatting with Burr must have been something special!!!
great memories
I've just been drinking Bruce Dickinsons 'Trooper' beer, not to be dismissed as a gimmic 
On another note, it looks like the only gig I'll be going to this year is Ozric Tentacles 30th anniversary one, last time I saw them was over 20 years ago

Thank you sir, that would be much appreciated.
And Mac, nobody does good time rock n roll like Kiss, c'mon man.

"No, early in GnR's career Paul Stanley was in talks to manage the band but they decided not to do it. He did try out for Poison but he quit when he heard he had to wear makeup."
There ya go.
-
Thank you man, I am about to pick up the phone and set a man straight
-
Yeah Red, Clive was very nice, all the guys in Maiden are and very easy to talk to.
Riff mentioned Paul Stanley, he came in the hospital to pick up some films from me and we chatted for about
half an hour. Told him I saw KISS on the Hotter Than Hell tour and by a chain of events in my life his band
was the reason I had this job…He wanted to hear every detail then gave me a huge autograph and thanked
me for being a life long fan, I in return thanked him for my job! -

i revive this thread with proof how awesome the fugazi show i saw was
http://www.dischord.com/fugazi_live_series/toronto-on-canada-71998and luckily for anyone else thats ever seen them, the crazy fucks recorded almost every show they ever played
and have spent the last 4 years transferring the tapes to digital.
theyve got 300 shows up on the dischord site and another 500 to go
so if your show isnt up there yet. it will be in the next few years

You have made my day. Two classics to relive on there.
