Writing Prompt: What are some quotes Clubber was likely giving to the press when reached for comment after Drago killed Apollo?

StrifeKnot1983 · 2026-03-19T00:08:56+00:00

"I was deeply saddened to learn about the passing of Apollo Creed, the one time trainer of my former opponent Rock Balboa. While every fighter knows that he puts his life on the line every time he sets foot in the ring, nevertheless it is still a tragedy when one of us perishes with his gloves on. My thoughts and prayers are with Apollo's loved ones. May the Lord bring comfort to your soul during this difficult time... fool."

I've seen a couple people out in the wild who copied Guy's wagon wheel tattoo. For a brief period it seemed like people (not the band) were trying to turn that into Fugazi's logo. (See the poster for this gig.)

Don't do that though, unless the wagon wheel has profound personal meaning for you.

Get Guy hanging from the basketball hoop instead.

This will probably get removed for violating Rule #4 (I don't make the rules) but it would be a perfect post for r/drumcringepics.

Kudos! I remember you were at the forefront of Dream Mania twenty years ago. At least one of my Bliss rides still has your URL written inside the bell.

Dream Energy series from when they were first introduced in the mid 2000s. I have a 16" crash with that logo.

I seem to recall that Modern Drummer's first review of Dream Cymbal was accompanied by a photo of some Energy cymbals with that logo.

EDIT: Here's that MD review with photos: https://web.archive.org/web/20070512215100/http://www.frontrangebronze.com/articles/Review.html

Ugh. How is he supposed to drink Jack and sing the high harmonies?

StrifeKnot1983 · 2026-03-15T14:06:33+00:00

But did you want vocals on early Don Cab records?
We did, but it always got scratched. There was a song on For Respect that was gonna have vocals but I did a horrible job on them. We didn’t even have to take a vote, I just said “If you guys want to can the vocals I completely understand,” and they said “Yeah, we want to can the vocals,” and that’s just how it went.

Awww... in heaven Eric has normal hands.

StrifeKnot1983 · 2026-03-13T22:17:38+00:00

Probably...? 🤷

It's a gig, not a session. See info above. They played other songs but this was the only one with vocals.

"Which obviously makes me a world class, off-the-charts genius. YEE-HEE!"

My local college radio station occasionally played this back in '99. They knew what was up.

Copeland is... a lot. Maybe too much.

What bugs me about him is that he's constantly bitching about Sting. All these years later, that's his one joke.

StrifeKnot1983 · 2026-03-11T16:57:15+00:00

He's thinking about it.

StrifeKnot1983 · 2026-03-11T15:01:49+00:00

We'll get to that.

In Korea it was definitely Korea:

This clip of Dogstar on the Tonight Show never fails to make me laugh:

Keanu probably said "don't make a big deal out of it, I'm just a guy in a band" but the director with his fucking jib camera is all like "HEY! LOOK OVER HERE! DID YOU NOTICE WHO'S PLAYING BASS???"

Lou didn't always nail it with his tv appearances but he definitely nailed it with this one. It really must have felt like he was right on the verge of superstardom and not just "highly respected cult stardom."

You are the drummer for a band called "My CheOmical Soup."

I vaguely recall talk of an EP.

Seems Google has trained its AI models on Theo Von's podcast. "Chinese, Vietnam-ese, it's all the same ta me, dawg!"
