I think that To-Mera's "Transcendental" should be on that list somewhere

Blobber - 1/3/2007 12:29:13 PM
I hate heavy metal and hard rock. Grunge rules! Gossard! Vedder! Cobain!

Blobber - 1/3/2007 12:16:05 PM
Judas Priest if for fags...like their singer.

MR_Totem - 1/3/2007 6:22:12 AM
Anal, what happend you got Chiken Hawked by a Catholic Priest lol.

MR_Totem - 1/3/2007 6:20:40 AM
First conert I was a preteen with older brothers and sisters in 69.I saw James Taylor, who after almost 40 years I forgot played with Zeppelin and The Three Dog night that glorius May day at the Green Lake Swim Theater in Seattle.

analgravy2 - 1/3/2007 1:31:31 AM
It was actually a good concert, for pussies. It's just not my thing. I wasn't really there by choice...I was 14 and it was for our church group.

magor - 1/3/2007 12:15:47 AM
yeah, but from everything you've written before it doesn't surprise the rest of us and it shouldn't surprise you either. I mean niggers on the down low are quite common, or haven't you watched any talk shows? Haahahaaaa!

analgravy2 - 1/2/2007 11:52:18 PM
Boys 2 Fags was my first concert. I can't believe I lost my concert virginity to a bunch of choir boy niggers.

Blobber - 1/2/2007 5:07:33 PM
AC/DC was my second concert. That's likely why I was a fucking heathen for so long.

MR_Totem - 1/2/2007 6:44:34 AM
Anybody read the book Let There Be Rock by Susan Masino.It is a nice read.All about Ac Dc.She worked as a journalist in Madison Wisconsin.Any way she first met the band in 77 the day Elvis died, when the boys played a club in Madison with the Detectives, who knows who they are.Well she gets to know one of the roadies very well and the band there is some good storys but I have heard most of them.

metalduminator - 1/2/2007 5:16:21 AM
magor.....dude u need to keep off bad street drugs.seek help before its too late....

Blobber - 1/1/2007 4:28:32 PM
What kind os depraved homosexuals name a song after Bytor the fag snow dog?

magor - 12/31/2006 8:57:48 PM
Trust me fizz, I've travelled alot, and in many countries the average fan derives pride from successful people from their country in whatever field. We don't think this way to any great extent (outside of localities as you infer)simply because we've got Hollyweird celebrities shoved at us from all directions our whole lives anyway, and because since WWII Americans have developed somewhat of a superiority complex towards the rest of the world, so we don't attach much pride to our fly by night "stars". In a way this is healthier, yet in another it's less so.

Blobber - 12/31/2006 5:19:09 PM
Praise Jesus in 2007!

fizzgig - 12/31/2006 12:48:41 PM
I think you're reading way too much into it, dude. A band's hometown is one thing, but one member's home country is quite another.
