i'm really 18 in april, but i always say i'm born in 82 online, so i dont have to deal with the being under 18 crap

they used to play with nothin but sox on... well u can guess. but i think that was just so they'd get noticed. now most of the guys are in their late 30's early 40's so i hope they dont do it anytime soon

A quick way to calibrate people's tastes on here and maybe get some discussions going...

(I'll answer separately so it's easier to cut and paste the questions)

1) First album you owned/purchased?
The Offspring - americana

2) Most recent album you purchased?
Eric Clapton collection

3) First live show?
Pittsburgh Blues Festival

4) Most recent live show?
X-Fest- Featuring Disturbed

5) Most overrated musician?
any recent rap "artist"

6) Most underrated musician?
Stevie Ray Vaughan (for this generation)

7) What's your musical guilty pleasure (i.e. name a musician/group that your gut tells you you shouldn't like, but you do anyway)?
Ted Nugent

8 ) Let's say you could go back in time and bring any one dead musician into present times? Who would you pick?
Stevie Ray Vaughan, he kicked his drug addiction then died in a helicopter crash a year later

9) What's your poster-child "band that broke up too soon"?
Rage against the machine, as much as i like audioslave i wish i could've seen these guys live

10) Pick your dream band -- at the very least, vocalist, guitar, bass, drums. If you want to include a second guitarist, keyboards, theremin, lute, xylophone, whatnot... live it up, but you gotta start with the basics.

11) Name one cover version of a song that whups the ass of the original.
stevie ray vaughan- little wing

12) Speaking of covers, name a song that always struck you as a great song if done by someone else.

15) Fat Elvis or skinny Elvis?
skinny, fat elvis isn't really the same guy

16) If all four Beatles were still alive, would they have cashed in on a Millenium reunion concert?
no, they would be too busy ruling the world

17) Will there EVER be a more unrealistic movie moment than Peter Frampton and the Bee Gees beating up Aerosmith in the "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" movie?
yes... assault on precinct 13 (i was over-ruled)

18) Bono has been mentioned as a candidate to head the World Bank. Would you let Bono manage YOUR finances?
Bono?

19) Would you let MC Hammer manage your finances?
only if it was opposite day

20) Lastly, the infamous "desert island" question -- pick five CDs you'd take with you to a desert island. To add to degree of difficulty, no Greatest Hits allowed.

neil young- freedom
prince- musicology
eric clapton- Me & Mr. Johnson

exactly i was so disappointed when i turned on the tv to find the olympics on instead of my favorite show, but i think its back on this thursday (hopefully)

i think that once final fantasy 12 comes out you should retro-review anything from final fantasy 7-9 because their old and good enough to review and you can still play them on the ps2 and new gamers who get into ffXII might want to what the past 11 games were like

well, mine changes pretty much everyday, but right now i'd have to say black-eyied blonde by the red hot chilil peppers

this is the only show that i've been watching regularly and i think its the funniest show on t.v. at the moment (yes even funnier than family guy). i think you guys should check it out if you haven't already
