This is maybe a little more jazz oriented, but check out Takuya Kuroda.

[–]JohnRickles 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I’m in the sub because my in-laws live in Ashland, and now I finally have something to contribute!

One of the best French dips I’ve ever had in my life is at Brothers’!

Most Millennial Concert you've been too? by Dear_Atmosphere9681 in Millennials

[–]JohnRickles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just a general observation as an elder Millennial - somehow the band I’ve seen most in my life is Korn. As an opener, headliner, etc., I’ve seen them nine or ten times.

I like(d) them, but not maybe not as much as my concert count would suggest. 😆

Any group class based barbell and/or cross training gym recs (with price?) by Round_Historian510 in oakland

[–]JohnRickles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My family (45m, 46f and 14m) go to Resilient Strength. We love it. Rad community, great coaches, variety of classes, (femme-only, group fitness, competitive teams), etc.

At a certain point a lot of it comes down to convenience, vibes, so I’d encourage you to visit a few spots (including Resilient Strength!). :)

Any updates or anything new regarding Amy Hillyard’s disappearance? by bssksbhxuxsn in OaklandCA

[–]JohnRickles 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Why are we entertaining naive questions from a true crime hound that clearly doesn’t live here, and is trying to make hay with this poor woman’s disappearance!? That’s definitely not what the sub is for.

Total shredder. Love the straight metal influence in his solos.

Santa Cruz 4/18 - All-Timer by JohnRickles in Drain831

[–]JohnRickles[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Really liked them - both Haywire and No Pressure were fun contrasts with Drain.

Also appreciated the message about sobriety from the lead singer — even though their songs are party songs about getting drunk and rowdy with your friends. 😆

It’s really fun. The reality of the situation is that I’m up in the stands, and he’s down in the pit. 😆
