  1. barracuda by heart. Change the station as fast as possible.

     

    any hard rock or "metal" band with a female vocalist.

     

    These two stand out for me. I pretty much like every genre (for those of you who know me well would agree), but I can't stand this new "metal"-female-rock-fake synth violin-crap. To make it worse, I used to hang out with the lead guitarist of Skillet, but I can't even listen to that crap. :dumb:

  2. Place in Grove City call Tristano's makes some of the craziest deep dish you can buy. Has even won some awards and the closest thing to a Chicago deep dish I've eaten in Cbus, so far. Eaten there a few times. You can east inside or out. You cannot finish their smallest pan by yourself. Not without wishing you'd die afterward, anyway. :p It carries weight.

     

    That being said, I don't know if I'd be out in time to eat, but I'm down for a night time cruise or meet.

     

    I'm down. I'll set the time for 8pm. If at least two other people commit, then I will go. Otherwise, I will stay home and eat raw broccoli.

  3. Anyone else want to go somewhere tonight? Maybe hit up a pizza place? I have yet to find a good pan pizza in Columbus, so someone surprise me.

     

    8pm @ Tristano's in Grove City. If at least two other people commit, then I will go.

  4. I stand totally corrected. I haven't done reasearch on it in several years, but here is the current:

     

    "The instrument was stolen from a park bench in New York City’s Greenwich Village in 1986, and remained lost until it showed up in 2007 at a little music store in Manhattan’s East Side. The store owner had purchased it used from an anonymous seller for a measly sum, and refused to return it to Pastorius’ family upon discovering who it originally belonged to. After an intense legal battle between the owner and the family — along with Trujillo’s help, who had become a family friend years prior — the case was settled and the bass was returned to its rightful owners. To thank him for his help, the bass was handed over to Trujillo with the agreement with the family that if they wanted it back for any reason, he would return it. For Trujillo, it was as much of an honor as it was an ecstatic experience.

    “Last September, I played it for the first time at Yankee Stadium. It was the first time in many, many years that it had been played in front of a New York audience,” Trujillo explains. The Pastorius family was in attendance, and Trujillo chose to pay tribute to Jaco and Cliff Burton — two of his biggest heroes — by playing ‘For Whom the Bell Tolls’ with the legendary bass. Trujillo explains the feeling, stating, “That was a very special moment in my life. It was also special to the family, and it was special to the instrument.

     

    Casey, sorry for the hijack. I had to post the correction, though.

  5. Pat, he played several basses after the Bass of Doom was lost/stolen. This would have been post-BOD.

     

    Side note: the BOD was found a few years back and is now owned by Robert Trujillo of Metallica. It was restored (looks NOTHING like it used to) and he takes it out on tour sometimes. I'll be honest, it severely pisses me off. That bass belongs to Jaco's children.
