He seemed to mean it lol. He’s very uh, flamboyant. He was doing little hops and clapping too. The chick he had with him that night was fucking bangin though.

That show was pretty great with the exception of some shitty goth whiney synth band that played. It was before Alice In Chains reunited and seeing Jerry was the closest I was getting to see my favorite band at the time.

You guys ever see the Janes Addiction movie that begins with him copping dope in a dress talking about what a bad idea it is to cop dope in a dress? Then his GF ODs at some point and he puts her in the tub and has sex with her one more time? I was like 14 when I saw it so that’s all I remember lol

Yeah, it’s called “Gift.” Love that flick. Everything you mentioned is pretty much all that happens in the movie haha. You’re remembering it correctly haha! I love when the old ladies come down from Barstow and wanna use the bathroom haha. I haven’t seen that movie in years, probably since I was about 14, too. Funny film, though.

That motherfucker ALWAYS has a banging chick with him. I get it. Not faulting him for that at all. It’s always nice to hang out with a couple super-hot ladies…

He mentioned the Circle Jerks. Said one of them is his buddy’s accountant now :smile:

What he missed was Bad fucking Religion!

Their handles would usually be on the license plate of their vehicle. Radio Shack was booming back in the 70’s with CB sales. Growing up in the 70’s I lived on a street where we had two neighbors that were HAM operators, they would talk to people from all over the world. They would also piss-off a lot of neighbors when their signals interfered with the TV sports broadcasts on the weekends.

Dude, for real, Florida is an ass-backwards hellhole. I hated it there. There’s not a time in my life when I was a kid where I can’t remember thinking,”Where am I gonna move to…?” Even when I was like eight-years-old, I was considering the other places I’d go. Just a bunch of redneck, racist hillbillies. And I grew up in Tampa, one of the “big cities” but it was redneck as redneck can be. Straight trash. I don’t give a shit if anybody who sees this post lives in Florida and takes offense. That place is garbage. If you live in Florida, you live in a trash state. I left in ‘97 and never looked back. I had to go there last year because my mom was dying (and I love my mom, she was awesome and turned me on to almost all of the music we’ve been discussing), but after like three days of being there, I was calling my girl and being like,”I have to get out of here. Florida is disgusting.”

Sorry, y’all, I have a lot of feelings about Florida haha. Easily the grossest place I’ve ever been. It never surprised me that Jim Morrison got arrested for that dick-wagging incident, @monkeyman The people in Florida are thirsting for things to be mad about. They are not interested in art or progress or anything. Not saying Jim Morrison was an artist, I think he’s an idiot, actually, and I don’t like The Doors, but still… Florida sucks haha!

Dude just called Jim Morrison an idiot :neutral_face:

I would say pretentious and self interested but I can’t go idiot. Dude was just living up life and making good music.

Nah, I don’t like Bad Religion. Or Descendants. That’s why I didn’t mention them. Not really a fan of any of that “Orange County” scene.

Nah, dude, Jim Morrison was a fucking dipshit. The Doors suck. I can’t get into them at all.

I don’t love Descendants but not liking Bad Religion or Social D (Orange County)?!

I dig the Doors and Morrison but a lot of punk kids would absolutely shit on them and most classic rock the way grunge shit on hair metal so I can’t really say I’m surprised to hear it. Just saddened… :laughing:

Aaarrrggghhhhh… Social Distortion SUCKS haha. I do not get it at all, why people love them. I’ve listened to them a bunch and tried to get what it is that people dig about them, but I don’t get it. They suck. And I’m not even one of those “musical purist”-type of people, but yeah, Social Distortion sucks.

I did forget to mention Suicidal Tendencies, though. Love their first album. I actually saw them open for Jane’s in like ‘92, at an arena. After Jane’s had become full-on rockstars. Crazy how fast things could happen. Three years earlier, Jane’s was opening for Iggy Pop at a little venue in St. Pete… Then they were selling out 20,000-seat arenas.

Yeah, I really hated “classic rock” until about ten years ago. Then I got super-into it. Rolling Stones, Led Zep… All that shit. I love it now. I’ve always loved the Beatles, but I never, ever got into most of the other stuff from the late 60’s/early 70’s until about ten years ago. Gram Parsons, especially, I love him. And the Byrds. “American Beauty” is one of my favorite albums ever, which always makes me laugh. If you’d have told me fifteen years ago that I’d be a fan of anything by the Grateful Dead, I would’ve slapped you haha.

Still, Electric Wizard kicks-fucking-ass, @Slick1 haha.

Sacrilege! Social D is like a rock band with a punk pedigree more than a punk band but I love Social D. My first punk albums were The Velvet Underground, Sex Pistols, and Bad Religion. I dug the Velvet Underground a little but it wasn’t speaking to me at 10 years old lol. Sex pistols album was awesome and I really liked it but the Bad Religion albums were what grabbed me and threw me into punk rock. When you eventually get to Crass through Bad Religion then BR deserves at least some credit. Also what the fuck was I thinking with Crass now looking back? Punk as fuck but as listenable as a an angle grinder being slammed across a concrete floor with some woman screaming in the background :laughing:
