Well if this isn't great news! I always enjoyed Eric's bass playing, so I'm glad to see him back in the driver's seat (I hope I kept it warm enough for ya!). Can't wait to hear the new stuff!

I believe this is why we still all congregate here. Even the greatest minds and ears of the art can still find the time to push their own boundaries. We may never know whether or not every single album made by any of these gentlemen we collectively revere (ie: Joey, Andy, James, etc...) is in...

Jesus. That was easily one of the most creative uses of art I've seen in a long time (but I spent 10 years in Santa Barbara where breathing deeply counts as creative). Although, I must also admit, the tune was kinda catchy, I'd be willing to bet a great song could come out of that beat...

Fantastic! Mine is a 115 year old, but the seller just flipped it. Refinished the hardwood floors and original trim, put in new tile kitchen, updated baths, bed carpeting. Basically, I got a brand new home that was built in the 1800s! Pretty stoked about it. My wife loves older homes.

Interesting, I hope to close on a house in the next couple weeks... Day job = biotechnology (not pharma/drugs) post-doc scientist. Protecting the world from massive infestations of food poisoning and pesticides.

The neck is very comfortable, especially for a 5-string. I had an Ibanez Soundgear 4-string when I first got this bass and had no problem switching back and forth between the two. The frets were much gentler on my fingers than the Ibanez, especially for B string slides. The rosewood on the...

Yeah, a very sore point for me the first time I tried to get my air filled after leaving that state. Too bad they still make you pay for smog checks every couple years, plus a smog abatement fee every year you register, plus an "environmental" fee, and I don't even know what that's for???

Actually, the invisibility cloaks are not too far-fetched. As a scientist in the nanomaterials/metamaterials fields, I've seen this technology advancing. Negative refractive indices exist for wavelengths in the millimeter range (microwave frequencies), and a lot of interest exists to get them...

I have an ESP LTD F255FM (see-through black cherry red) back in Cali that I don't play anymore (due to also having an F405FM) that I'd be willing to trade if you're interested. However, it won't be here in Ohio with a case until Feb 21 (I wouldn't ship it without a case, unfair to you and...

Andy Sneap forum, who knows how long ago?

Not sure you'll need a new HD. One 700MB cd holds about 40hrs of OTR! My dad burned me five discs before the trip and I only made it through one! Glad you found it useful. Cheers, Richard

I think the subforums have helped to clean up a lot of the mess that used to be out here in the main forum. That said, some of the main forum stuff still is OT, and some of the OT stuff should actually be out here. I'm sure the moderating job is difficult, and who really has the time to read...

I agree with all of the above. Your music, playing and general rambunctiousness make me want to get back of my lazy *** and find a band out here. It's great to see camaraderie and honest fun in a video. And Jeff is completely right, the Pope yell was fantastic!

How about CYNIC? They rule and forumer (ex?, haven't seen him in a while) Brett KALISIA did get to guest sing with them... Although, that probably doesn't fit the "strict" nature of this thread :rock:
