Classic!

Ah, that takes me back. Recently saw Jello Biafra in his new incarnation, playing with my former guitarist. I do miss the Bay Area!

Nice! What band did you play in?

You will not have heard of it, being of a different genre entirely and pretty low key (PM3), however the guitarist was Ralph Spight of Victims Family (and other incarnations, along with bassist Larry Boothroyd) -- off-again, on-again with the Alternative Tentacles label.

Jamming a cool band called Screaming Monkey Boner from Minneapolis. Got to play a couple shows with them years ago. They put on a great live show. They are now known as Screaming Mechanical Brain. Wanted to sound more professional. They sound similar to Dog Fashion Disco if anyone is familiar with them.

Screaming Mechanical Brain definitely sounds more professional than Screaming Monkey Boner. LOL.
You certainly have eclectic tastes, ophion. I should probably expand my musical horizons a bit.

Ophion, what do you think of Green Day?

One of the worst bands ever! They helped deliver the final nail into the death of punk rock.

A friend of mine who is a stand-up comedian does this thing on stage where he has his guitar on stage and he will play a riff and then play the same exact riff from a different song. Years back I saw him play 4 or 5 different Green Day songs and then slowed the riff down to show that it was the same riffs from songs of the 60's and 70's. Proof that Green Day is very unoriginal. Here is a video of my friend on stage. I think he does one of the Green Day songs in this one...

Weird, I've either seen that comedian live, or someone else has the same bit.

I don't like Green Day either, but I know some guys that went to Berkeley High and played in bands with them. I didn't know if that was your scene or not.

JR tours all around the country. He's not "famous," but he is somewhat well known. He's been doing that bit for a long time. Maybe someone stole it from him, ya never know with comedians.

Yeah, I don't like the whole "pop punk" thing. It's funny to me. What an oxymoron! Punk is not just music, it's an attitude and a lifestyle. Sorry Green Day and Blink-182 and Good Charlotte and all you other gay bands (excuse my language), but Iggy Pop would probably decapitate you if he had the chance!

haha, cool GWAR avatar. Unfortunately I missed several opportunities to see them play live.
