Don't worry about it... I don't care about it that much. And, I get it all the time. I guess the "dimple" distracts from my pasty-white, scrawny phsyique.

Fear not.

Okay, so it wasn't just me all confused then! Sounds awesome

I'm checking your MySpace now... you're right -- totally shitty recording. But ambitious tunes nonetheless. (I'm no music master by any means, but, try playing more ahead of the beat and see if that works, rather than dragging it...) Your guitarist is pretty good, tho I wanna hear the vox, tho!

PS - Add me.

Hey, if you enjoy playing, and have fun, that's all that matters. You could be really good, and feel nothing for the music, so then what's the point?

Either way, a vintage Gibson is very cool, and worth a hefty load, methinks.

My guitarist worked towards a new Gibson SG last summer, and it looks, sounds, and plays great. Sometimes I like to pretend I can work my way around six strings and chords, and attempt to play it.

Thanks...you're cool. But I'm still afraid of you.

Geoff, you went pretty easy on him. I was prepared to read one of your Simon-esque reviews. (Need I remind you...?)

Yeah, I'll add you in just a second. We're better now, I promise.

It's like swimming, I think. You need to get comfortable playing with someone, and their style. And I think we've finally gotten past the annoying little inflatable floatation devices. That, or they just popped, and we killed a baby eager to swim. Either way, sounds like a good time...

I'll let you know when we have a recording that's half decent.

I'd just like to stick a big fat "I told you so" in right here.

El El See, I TOLD yew taht dis pik wuz teh hawtness. Teh Kay-tee duzzent lie.

I got my Les Paul before Slash made it expensive -- same black style, but I only paid like $400-450 for it; but then again, that was like 20 something years ago. Now it's probably worth well over a grand, but I'll never part with it!

I'd be the same way.

This summer, I'm thinking to finally going on out and spend around a grand on a bass... (current one cost around 650... and sounds amazing for the price). I've always been fond of the Musicman Stingrays--which are ideal for funk and slapping, which is more dominant in my style now that the bands new material and developed sound is more bass centered and calls for more complicated bass parts--but, similar situation, Flea of the Red Hot Chili Peppers goes off and plays one, and they cost around 1,400.

(excuse my herendous grammar... It tends to come and go at this ungodly hour)

Hey, I was being constructive I actually like that prog-rock style they have going... just wanna hear some VOX!!

I admit, tho, I am much more of a "Producer" type than an actual musician, so... listen to me or fail!! hahaha

P.S. Thanks for the add! I'm finally at 105!

Ha... No problem. Bogey and I actually came across your myspace a few nights ago, and enjoyed a laugh.

Speaking of Bogey, you were absolutely right. My "troll" picture is greatness in the form of photography. Shame on me for not sharing it with the world sooner.

What really kills me is, when I went shopping for a guitar and amp -- those many years ago -- I "settled" for the Les Paul for $400-something cuz I only had like $600-something to spend, and needed an amp, too. But I really fell in love with a stereo Ric, but that was like $600 itself (thanks, Beatles! lol) But I'm SO glad I got the Paul instead!!

Those are used prices, of course.

These days, I can't imagine...!

You need your own reality show.

Gangster BB owner invites members of his forum to present music to him. Gangster BB members gain "constructive criticism." Gangster BB members run home crying.

Sure. Don't bother requesting an add from me or anything... just have a good ol' laugh at my expense!

Haha, well what we liked most were your surveys.. very.. creative answers....

The music instrument market is a mad house now. Especially with the exposure these things get from popular artists.

Those shitty little made in Japan re-issues of the Fender Mustang that can't stand up next to the original at all? Doubled in price. Now about 400-500 dollars new. Thankyou Nirvana.

And, Jack White used to use these horribly made guitars which he admits he only used because they had that wacky look he needed for the White Stripes. The body was made of PLASTIC! It would always go out of tune, and he had to tune inbetween almost every song when he played live. I think they were called Airline's... They cost around 800-1000 now. Back in 1999, before anyone knew who Jack White was, they cost around 200 dollars.

C'mon, you know Simon's always right!!! It's not a popularity/cute contest, it's a singing contest! Tho, not everyone votes that way, of course...

Thank you! At least someone recognizes my genius!

P.S.....
Are you two an item now??

I guess that's why my mom squeals and gushes over Taylor anytime he makes a TV appearance...

And are you sure you'd never let it get personal in who you vote for? I mean, even Simon's gotta have a weakness, right?

I never said THAT!!

We all know that Clay should've beaten Ruben!

The "Kevin Appreciation Thread" ?

Hey, as Producer, I get 40%! You two can decide who pays up!

Cutest couple of the BB, for sure, Bogey. Even if you won't admit to anything.

Geoff, who's Clay?

(Calm down...just trying to see how much I can annoy you.)

Who's Willy??

Whoa. Whoa, whoa, whoa, there.

(Trying to think up a comeback.)

(Deciding to go with a guilt trip instead.)

That was pretty low.

You know I wuffs you!

...just gotta play hardball when I have to!

Is it just me, or is Clay Aiken the creepiest guy on the planet..

I mean.. that ranks right up there with Sting and his "Every step you take, I'll be watching you" Plus he just looks weird..

Sorry, I can't seem to find the "we're not worthy" emoticon... but still looking...

Geoff, I was literally speechless when I read it. I would be so terrible in a "real" fight...

"Yeah? Well, I know you are, but what am I?!"

He actually hasn't been getting much playing time - another youngster, Chris Burke, has really proven himself and has made quite a few starts in center recently. (Ooh...insider fantasy info... )

Ooh, instead of the emoticon, can we just scream it out like we're Wayne and Garth?
