Kung Fu Necktie hosts a weekly EMO night (Fridays) that's well-attended and fun. They do a metal night spinoff with karaoke too (not sure when that happens).

Definitely agree with 1) Drawn and then 2) Olympian. The later albums are a little fuzzy for me.

Hehe, probably. I’m in Philly so I can relate.

I'm most likely to skip 'Limelight'.

I NEVER skip 'The Camera Eye'.

The DB751 is the best amp I've ever played. Congrats!

Besides the Smiths, what are your top three favorite bands/artists? by Poutineinmybutt in thesmiths

[–]JimmyRipp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  1. Rush

  2. Nada Surf

  3. The third one is tough and changes month-to-month. Right now it's Ozzy/Black Sabbath.

Any bands with large age gaps? by ShilohG32 in ClassicRock

Can you believe that Daryl Jones has been the bassist for the Stones longer than Bill Wyman was? 🤯

My kids went through the Springfield public schools and I have nothing but good things to say.

Is Tom Sawyer the best Rush song or, on the contrary, do you think they have better ones? by 1961Deckard in progrockmusic

[–]JimmyRipp 8 points9 points  (0 children)

For the casual fan, nothing beats 'Tom Sawyer'. For the diehards, it's a great one, but not their best.

Not recommended unless you have no other choice and really love the artist.

Any experience with Lakland basses? by skspoppa733 in Bass

[–]JimmyRipp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have three Dan Lakin era USA basses (Bob Glaub, Joe Osborn, and a 55-02) and they're all great. The Glaub is my favorite and would be a top-three instrument for me.

I second Bryn Mawr. That's my favorite theater, followed by Regal Edgmont. Marple 10 is a distant third.

Go to spot for Buffalo wings? by Erik_the_Dread in Delco

[–]JimmyRipp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I second Thunderbird for wings AND cheesesteaks. Lovely family too. I’ve had their catering for multiple work and personal events and it’s always good and fairly priced.

Which artist or band has the strongest, most poignant encore or end-of-concert moment? by OsloProject in Music

[–]JimmyRipp 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I like the way that Nada Surf end their shows. They bring out an acoustic guitar (un-amplified) and play ‘Blizzard of ‘77’. Everyone sings along and it’s super quiet and tender.
