War Room Lounge v99: "I used to do drugs. I still do, but I used to too."

Boom. I mean Flea is probably the best. But Simonon has some of the sexiest baselines ever written.

Like...in rock/pop?

 

[Gregolian]

I was just watching this last night & crying with laughter. I recognize all of these guys before they became famous from my old skateboarding days. England freaking out is fucking gold

England was one of my favorites in the group.



I remember reading Mat Hoffman's autobiography as a teenager.

"So I walk into the hotel room and see a bathtub apparently full of hydrogene peroxide and the guys cutting the webbing of their feet with paper. Then Person A gets in the bathtub and you just hear screaming. Welcome to Jackass"

 

[AgonyandIrony]

You forget who matt freeman was or what ?

I mean Maxwell Murder is probably my favorite bass solo. I just love Simonons lines. Just silky as fuck.

Like...in rock/pop?

I'd say so. I get to see some pretty incredible bassists oh the daily out here, I realize Wooten is likely going to get all the credit as he should but I quit playing guitar and picked up a bass when I was a kid and saw a RHCP VHS lol.

Blood Sex Sugar Magic was a great record.

Flea is a great musician. But there's probably a hundred guys who are just a lot better.

Just thought id throw his name out there since we are talking bass. Ive always thought freeman was the best .... well after les claypool anyway but hes so good he almost doesnt count. Growing up on ska though its hard to say though there are so many amazing ones. I used to curse royce from the suicide machines when i was a teen learning to play. God i was proud the first time i played no face correctly.took me like a year to learn to play sublimes santaria too .

I just remembered the creepiest thing from middle school.


I had brought a bottle of Black Velvet to school, as one does, and somebody ratted on me. I got suspended and forced into an "at risk" in-school counseling program with other kids who had been ratted on. I showed up to the counseling session and it was me and about four attractive girls who had reputations. Mind, I was still in the phase where I didn't know that wearing sweatpants was a really bad idea, so it wasn't going to turn into Fawlty's Awakening or anything, but it was peculiar that there were no dudes in the group.

Then, in walks the counselor, one Luís Ibañez. I think that was his name. It could have been Ibarra or something. The point is, he looked almost exactly like this:

The first thing that Luís explained to us was that sexual activity at our age was the biggest sign of being an at-risk youth. Sweatpants-level Fawlty thought: "Oh, I guess that makes sense."

Then Luís handed out two notecards to each of us, and told us to write down two numbers: one for the number of people we've had sexual intercourse with, and another for the number of people with whom we had only had "oral sex, it's when you put his...organ, in your mouth."

It doesn't take a very long to write 'zero' on two pieces of paper, so I was done pretty quickly. A couple of the girls paused briefly, and then wrote their numbers. The other two girls had to think for quite a while. Luís sure knew how to pick a group of at-risk teenage girls.

We handed in our notecards, and Luís looked at mine and gave an "ooh, (Fawlty), you're a real ladies' man!"

The girls all giggled. Now, this was a confusing giggle for me. Part of me knew I was the butt of the joke, but part of me thought that not having had any kind of sex was a good thing, but part of me was really curious to hear about those other numbers, but part of me didn't like Luís very much, but part of me just wanted to get the fuck out of there and go back to class, but part of me wanted to stay there with those girls. All of me just sat there like an idiot in sweatpants with a very red face.

Perhaps sensing that I wanted out of that room, and also totally wanting me out of that room, the crafty old Mexican veteran of many a teenage sexual confession excused me early from the counselling sesh to be alone with the others, and I went back to homeroom, slightly confused but also feeling a little more grown up.

I have no idea what happened to those girls, but I hope none of their numbers went up.

Fuck the liner shit dude. Always thought that shit was weird and still do even though I listen to Rammstein and they do it for their live shows.

you deal with it, wait till tomorrow fat boy <3

anthem for the year 2000 is better.

 

[curryjunkie]

I figured a Mitch Hedberg themed cocktail menu would be perfect in this thread.


Listen to the entire Plastic Beach album. Sexy as fuck.

I remember the first time I heard it and thought someone was copping Paul's style until I found out that he joined the Gorillaz.


This bassline kills me everytime. This motherfucker also has style for days. He did all the costuming for the Gorillaz plastic beach tour.

costuming??

[Trotsky]

Bam?

Yeah, he got fat though and has a pretty obvious serious alcohol issue.


Fat for him given how skinny he used to be.

Kind of hard for me to feel sympathy for that guy, and I say that as an unembarrassed fan of Jackass and its subsequent shows.

Same. And it seemed that he never grew out of that toxic twerp shit. But pretty much every character - especially Knoxville, Pontius, England, and Ehren - I find both likable and hilarious.

Knoxville looked like he was going to break through to other media, but he really hamstrung himself by starring in The Ringer. Maybe get a few under the belt before leading in a movie about pretending to be retarded.

I mean on a proficiency level yeah, but

 

[AgonyandIrony]

costuming??

I love the performances the Gorillaz put together.


Also legit just saw a man die right in front of my work. Seeing a dead body straight killed my appetite.

See this is the kind of shit that is so disrespectful to Kobe. Hasn't even had his funeral yet and you're already talking about other deaths.

My uncle married a Japanese lady named Ritsuko

somehow, her Americanized nickname became 'ricky'

wait, what

Ritsuko?

Niiice.

Starring in that terrible Dukes of Hazzard movie that came out in the same year probably didn't help either. The movie had one redeeming quality and I think we all know what that one is.
