Way back in the days, there used to be a members list that could be sorted by # of posts. In other words, you'd be able to see who is #1 GNR fanboy poster of all time. 

I need to know if I'm still in the top 500. Call it the "Unfortunate 500" if you will.

Where is this list? Does it exist still?

Just for Kicks: Who is your favorite poster nowadays? (I've been out of the game for years -- need to know who's the new kid in town)

When your dad said he hoped his son was well hung, that is not what he meant.

Or maybe it was.

Almost died at birth -- umbilical cord tied around my neck. Not fun.

Let's go heat! 

That's all I've got to say about that...

Sorry for bumping this thread but I too logged in after a few year hiatus. I am mostly remembered as the guy with gibberish for a username -- haha!

Anyway, nice to see some familiar names still posting. 

Who knew something good would come from this reunion tour huh?

Duane Allman - Anthology Vol. 2 - Goin' Down Slow

There used to be this crazy instrumental of Hendrix's "Bold As Love" but I haven't been able to find it. It's just as good as the original.

I watched "The Fall" the other day. Nice little movie and cute little relationship between the two actors. I thought the little girl was so natural. She was definitely the star of the movie. The colors and scenery were fantastic. It looked great in blu ray. The only real negative was that the stuntman's (roy) true intention for telling the story wasn't made as obvious as it was thought to be.

I also finally watched "the shawshank redemption." wow, that movie changed my life. it really did.

i love the band! they're one of those bands that can truly put you in a different place when you listen to their music. listening to "the night they drove old dixie down" makes me feel like virgil caine. it's weird. my fave songs are probably, the weight, night they drove.., tears of rage, kings harvest has surely come and others. but i absolutely love them. just recently i've been having the band fever. and i can't believe they have the last waltz in blu ray! i just bought it regular!

I like John Mayer but I get the impression that he tries to fit in a SRV lick whenever he can just to please guitar aficionados. Sometimes it works. Other times he fails. He does have some of the best tones around.

I don't care how much people here hate Eric Clapton but this is seriously one of the best solo's I've heard:

I love how it builds up in intensity, the switching of the pickups. Ahhh, wow.

My faves are probably Eric Clapton, Jimi Hendrix, SRV. I know it's the typical trifecta of guitarists but they're just the ones i admire.

the dude from sublime is severely underrated.

it might've been better if jack played it solo.

20+ minutes and counting...

Just stopped.

i'm waiting for wayne to remix one of the tracks. after all, he is not the same.

he's a martian?

I actually liked it. Reminded me of The Beatles' "Revolution Number Nine."

Catcher in the Rye is the next single.

You don't have to be Black to sing Gospel. :chef:

I love movies that are open to your own interpretation. Take "2001: A Space Odyssey" for example. To be perfectly honest, I had no idea what it was about for the first hour or so. It was after I watched the movie that I actually took a moment to think about it. What if there really was some deity from outer space that was responsible for our own evolution? That's how I saw it anyway... It's an interesting concept, I think. The visual effects were also out of this world for the time it was made. Crazy lights and stuff. Trippy.

Stanley Kubrick knows how to make a good movie, that's for true.

I first saw that when I was just into double figures. Loved it. That part about being 'beyond the infinite' always stuck with me. I have always liked sci-fi though. It's a genre that allows the imagination to fully flex it's muscle.

That's definitely my second favourite. I don't think I've ever seen a Kubrick film that isn't great.

Eyes wide shut???

Kubrick's films have hidden messages that are virtually undetectable to the average viewer. Eyes Wide Shut is constructed on the surface like some erotic thriller, but there are signs all over the place that allude to conspiracies of the Illuminati. When you've taken that little bit into consideration, you may watch what's happening in a completely different way. Of course, even then, there are things left open to interpretation.

I've read that "The Shining" has a whole bunch of little signs and stuff relating to Native Americans and something about the movie secretly being about the massacre of Native Indians of North America. Clues like the patterns of the walls, mirrors, walls changing colors. Weird.....

Did Kubrick ever say it alluded to those things? Or is it a film studies lecturer in overdrive again?

The latter! http://www.drummerman.net/shining/essays.html

still interesting though..

My favorite is probably "Full Metal Jacket." To me it's a pretty cynical view of the Vietnam war. I mean, there was nothing pretty about it but most war movies glorify a soldier's heroism. In this movie, it reveals the psychological damage a war is capable of causing even if you're just a war journalist who hasn't experienced much action. I just thought it was brilliant.

I still have no idea what it is about

The discovery of extraterrestrial life and its subsequent effect on mankind?

gospel (in it's "purist") is like the music in baptist churches right? lol. sorry if i'm generalizing..

The other day I saw this movie called "This Is England" which is about this young lad who befriends a group of skinheads. Everything is all fine and dandy until an old school skin head who was imprisoned comes back to town. He pretty much tries to brainwash everyone into believing his Nationalist ideologies and such. Some of the original kids leave and the group goes to hell. It's like a coming of age story for the boy. Very good movie.
