Aaron...I like you...but...I hope you're kidding here. I'll assume you never spent any time in the HC pits of Boston or NY (or I assume Philly as well) in the late 80's or early 90's...???

Boston? No...NYC and Philly, yes. I know it sounds crazy, but they were taking dudes out in ambulances at that show - it was insane. Blood on the floor. Worst I saw - one girl's nose was spraying blood like a fire hydrant.

On this De Rosa thing, there's one thing I don't get, and I hope you guys will forgive what I assume you will think is a dumb question. But what color is it? Seriously, it's in one of those ranges of the spectrum where they all look alike to me.

You know, I've spent some time thinking about this thread using my limited abilities to understand the human psyche, and I am trying to understand the forum rage that occurred a while back, and it is amazing how easy it is to over think and over analyze a situation trying to figure out the cause when the answer is much simpler and often very apparent. Kind of one of those situations where you can't see the forest for the trees. So, Aaron, I just have one question to ask, if you wouldn't mind responding in a civil way....

That's not it, but yes.
I'm pretty all over the map on music - especially like early rock/late blues...70s glam (pre-Queen), early punk and 80s post-punk. I go from Joni Mitchell to the Sex Pistols.
Ah, the obligatory Fleetwood Mac reference!

Do you mind? How dare you try to hijack this thread back to the original topic when it has already been hijacked to at least three distinct topics having nothing to do with the bikes.

I know that the rumor was that Fender and OFG were the same person, but they're not. Fender is actually Gilbert Godfried.

Rumor has it OFG has never weighed more than 165, and is closing in on 5000 miles for the year. He is applying for Social Security next week, so I guess he's old, at least.

I liked them better as operation ivy. Well, it's been a few years, maybe a decade, so I don't know if I'd even agree with myself anymore.

That's the thing - I'd probably hate most of the bands I loved when I was 14 if I heard them for the first time now.
