So guys, how about playing Revelation (M.E.) at Day of the Equinox?

We're a very lame metal band when it comes to substance abuse. No one in the band smokes, and no one really drinks heavily at all. If I'm out drinking, I'll have 3 or 4 drinks all night, tops. For me, it's more medical reasons then anything else. Pain killers and alcohol shouldn't be mixed, and the amount of pills I shovel in on a daily basis is already not at all healthy.

nothing lame about not drinking....as Larry has said, I also did in my younger days, but shit, now, it's about having a good time that is REMEMBERABLE! I look at alcohol now kinda in the same way as religion, sorta, in that hey, it's cool if you wanna, just don't force it upon me :cool:

Smoking, on the other hand, well, especially in today's world, I cannot understand why anyone would wanna START smoking. And you can basically say that EVERYONE is a smoker, it's just that some of us are second hand smokers :yuk:

Guinness was my drink of choice "back in the day", and frankly I rarely ever got drunk off of it anyhow, because it's so filling that I couldn't drink that many of them at one time anyhow! But I loved the taste of it and still do, so Kaliber is a nice option.

I wore a Guinness shirt to classes today. Great stuff, but filling like you said. I prefer liquor, on the whole, for that exact reason.

Perfect mix of agression and melody.

Hey Vito - Long time no post for you. You better be keeping Niles in order!
Make my old stomping grounds proud!! I was actually at Golf Mill yesterday.

I used to work at the Sears in Golf Mill, and I used to hang out in their arcade when I was a kid. Nothing beat taking the Niles free bus, and spending the saturday at the arcade when you were 10 years old. They changed alot of Golf Mill, alot of stores are gone, or are going to be gone soon.

Too funny. I have worked many jobs at Golf Mill.
I used to work at DESIGNS which was a jeans store not-so-cleverly located in the Food Court! (Next to McDonalds). This was about 15 years ago.
After that, I worked at Musicland (which is long out of business). It was in the area where there is now a Target.

Funny story about when I worked at Musicland. Eddie Vedder's mom (who lives in Evanston) used to come in all the time to buy Pearl Jam merchandise. This was when their 1st album came out and they were at the height of their popularity. I guess Eddie became a complete ass and never kept in touch with his family once he became famous. She had to buy all this Pearl Jam junk because everyone she knew would expect it from her (thinking that she would get it free from Eddie). She didn't want to tell people, "My son has become an a-hole" Hehehehe.
 
Yknow it would figure that Eddie Vedder is an asshole, I hate to say. I've never liked much of anything that guy has ever had to say, and I fucking hate his voice. HATE his voice. And of course every singer in every bar band ever since has tried to emulate him, of course, heh.

I was never really a Pearl Jam fan either. I guess I liked a handful of songs when they first came out or whatever. The one thing about them though which I have always found facinating is that they have maintained a hardcore following with very little commercial exposure. I mean they have released a good 5 or 6 albums since they were popular on TV with no videos or airplay in heavy rotation. They still play at Arenas and outdoor venues when they tour.

On a side note, they are doing a Hurricane relief show at the House of Blues.
Ticket price = $1000 (no joke)
 
Yeah, well the thing is, Pearl Jam got so much exposure in the early days and became such a household name, that I think they really didn't need all the T.V. and media exposure. And I dunno, I still see Eddie and co. being mentioned constantly in the press, just not to the degree that they once were. You look at a band like Phish, they never had much big time media exposure and yet they became quite a bit touring phenomenon, and I think basically that's what Pearl Jam are now. And I think both bands tend to draw very similar crowds these days as well.

I remember Designs! Thats funny you mention Eddie Vedder's mom, she lived in the same apartment building as my friend in high school. At least I think it was his mom, it could have been his grandma.
 
Well, I think Vedder's mom lived in Evanston, though I guess if she was shopping at Golf Mill, maybe she relocated to the Niles area.

Isn't it funny how off topic every thread has gotten?? :)

If I'm correct Pearl Jam had a huge spate with Ticket Master and was sick of TM ripping off their fans over concert ticket prices, and his aversion to Mtv and such stems from him not liking them for whoring bands out (the second part I don't know for sure, I got it from my sis who used to be a huge PJ fan at the time they flew off the radar).

Vedder may be an asshole, but he seems to have learned the lesson that many, many bands can't seem to learn (that Mtv is the worst thing to happen to music in the United States ever).

Well when I went to Niles West, my friend was living in Skokie, the first block after the train tracks on the corner of Oakton and Skokie Blvd. Thats where one of the vedder people lived. I hope noone tries to stalk them now haha.

i still say you should do Revelation. I'll sing it for you :lol: and I'll scream for it between every song you play :lol:
