    Today is his birthday and I revealed this at 12:00am.  I hid it for a couple of weeks and things have been crazy in the house because I just started a new job and it has required some major adjustments in our routine.  He's been a champ and rolled with it and has been incredibly supportive.  Anyway, I made him hide while I set it up on a stand and turned on the lights so that he could see it in it's relative glory.  He had no idea what the hell I was doing.  I'm not shitting you, when he saw it the first thing out of his mouth was "Slash."  I couldn't believe it.  I teared up a bit because that's what I was going for and you all helped me out.  Actually, you all hooked me up.  Then he had so many questions about how I found it and ....well, he was excited about the thought that went into it and was blindsided by it.  Then I tried to explain humbuckers, P90's, and tube vs solid state amps.  I stopped.  Today was a good day.  Thanks yo you all!

    Don't get me wrong; the show was still great but I think it lost a big element when Livia died in real life...

    Apparently S3 was going to have her testifying against Tony in court.

    That would have been outstanding!

    I disagree.  S2 was great, no contention there.  But Livia's death and that horrible digital concoction notwithstanding, the eps in season 3 laid substantial groundwork for successive seasons.  From the FBI wire plant to Tony's new GF (Annabella Sciorra was fantastic) to the inner crime family combat (culminating in Pine Barrens and Jackie Jr. getting wacked), so much happened in this season.  And I think whoever said the sho was supposed to be 4 seasons was right - at the time S3 was written to set up the close of the series for a final season.  Then the show got insanely popular, 9/11 happened (which add new dimensions to write about), and Chase had to pretty extensively extend the series arc.

    your avatar is fucking awesome! lmao

    No love for Neil Peart from Rush?

    how many drummers does it take to screw in a light bulb?

    1 of them and the rest will tell you how Neil Peart could do it better

    Who are some of your favorite drummers? Not necessarily the most technical but your personal favorites.

    Vinnie Paul - Not a Pantera fan but he was the one element I enjoyed in their music

    Keith Moon - fucking bad ass with The Who

    Joey Jordison - Like Pantera, not a huge fan of Slipknot but he is very talented

    John Bonham - probably my favorite element of Led Zeppelin. 

    Bill Ward - did great work for Sabbath (one of my favorite bands)

    The Rev - Avenged Sevenfold is one of my guilty pleasure bands. And he was awesome

    Mike Portnoy - Love his work with Dream Theater. 

    Lars - Yeah I know he's not technically sound at all but I think he is perfect for Metallica and their sound. 

     

    he was unreal! one of my favorites as well. why is liking them a guilty pleasure? I love them

    Sopranos seasons 1 & 2 are some of the best tv ever.

    But the series took a step back in season 3 when his mom on the show died.  The biggest thing that separates Sopranos from any other mob show/movie was the conflict between Tony and his mom. Corleone's mom in The Godfather; did she even speak english? She cooked and hugged them.  Tony's mom tried to have him killed and his uncle Junior was a part of it.  That family conflict is what drove him to need a shrink.

    Ironically, the public caught on to the Sopranos after season 2; the show got more famous after it peaked.

    And in real life she died before season 3 aired.  But when that conflict died, it wasn't the same.  It was still great tv and I wish we had tv like that.  But seasons 1 & 2 were the best.

    p.s.  In real life, Tony's mom is based on David Chase's mom who was a sociopath.

    Damn that would suck to have a mom like that

    An early look at what makes MM so great.  Cooper's eccentricity and underrated, deep knowledge of the business.  Roger's immaturity, glibbness and ability to "grow up" at the time it's really necessary.  Don's naivete, caused by the fact he grew up poor.  And Pete trying to be a baddass, only to be exposed as the douchebag he is.  Also a great plot twist.  

    so much good going on here
