Re: Star Wars The Force Awakens

I will be avoiding this thread as I already have too much spoileriffic stuff in my brain and I like to keep my expectations VERY low...I just hope this isn't an embarrassment and that the characters are actually engaging. I am even more worried about the stuff they're doing next year with the one sh...

Re: Marvel's Daredevil on Netflix

Thanks to Netflix offering a free month, I'm binge watching this show over the weekend. So far, really liking it and as an old time Marvel fanboy, love the very subtle references to old school places and characters, etc. For instance, there's a poster barely glimpsed in the gym in the first EP that...

Re: Are There Any Rock Bands Left????

Sure but they are all now rap groups. :nod: ding ding ding I think your confusing genres with something called "passion" or "feeling". If you wanted a rap thread, then you should have started one. I like rap, but come on. If you ask a "rock" question don't bow out with the first answer you like. Ye...

Re: New Faith No More album?

Being a musician myself I just can't see a band playing a song they don't like or as a joke for 20+ years...they have to enjoy the song to some extent. I've played MANY covers as a joke "Karma Chameleon", "She Drives Me Crazy" but at the end of the day I did like the songs...to each their own, didn'...

Re: The Cops Behaving Badly Thread

Again I don't have stats here, but most police officers (thankfully) never have to fire their guns while on duty. I've spoken to many many veteran officers and the majority will tell you they've drawn their weapons many times but have never actually fired it and are usually thankful they haven't had...

The only difference in the situation nationwide with how the police have been handling people of color in these situations is that now people are getting it on video.

What I dont get about Easy is why they chose it as a song to cover in the first place. Is it meant to be funny, or annoying, or do they actually like that piece of garbage song? and why they play an almost identical version of it (as the original)... fuck I hate that song :lolol: :no: Considering t...

Re: Something Brewing

I'm not sure as it varys from venue to venue, but whenever I booked known acts I had to hit em with at least half of their money up front and they did have a say in the ticket price. I see the logic though, it's a smaller venue for them and the club still has to make it worth their while. If I was s...
