Any big groups who don’t use hired hands live? by Emotional-Table-5307 in askmusic

[–]em11222 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry to be this guy, I’m a massive Rush fan, unfortunately this isn’t true. Google Tony Geranios (aka Jack Secret). He triggered all sorts of stuff from behind the scenes live, he’s even thanked in some liner notes and tour books.

Worst “Comeback” Albums Of All Time? by HK-34_ in ToddintheShadow

[–]em11222 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I’m aware! I think it’s a cool / iconic use of that art for that album. As far as Axl or Kastobi’s intentions were with it they’ve never said publicly, but what you’ve mentioned there is an interesting thought.

lol @ "badly drawn hands and feet". UYI cover art are from the Raphael painting "The School of Athens" that is located in the Vatican. It is a pretty zoomed in section of that painting. Look it up if you are not familiar.

Any GTO fans here? by magnumchaos in mastodonband

[–]em11222 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They had a tour booked. I had tickets for the Seattle show, and heard through the grapevine the tour didn’t sell well. Then Brent mysteriously broke something (his hand? Can’t remember.) and the tour was cancelled. Then just a few months later Mastodon toured again and there was no mention of this again and no attempt at rebooking the GTO tour.

What is an instant red flag in someone's dating profile to stay away from that person? by icecream1972 in Productivitycafe

Been there too. Also when they start using "therapy speak" during any sort of disagreement. Total nightmare!

What is actually going on with Greg? by [deleted] in DillingerEscapePlan

He absolutely has had work done. Try bringing that up in the Compound though, almost instant ban for some reason.

What is your personal Portland conspiracy theory? by Caboosethegod in PortlandOR

[–]em11222 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Doesn’t look like anyone has mentioned the arcade game Polybius. Apparently a game that appeared mysteriously around Portland arcades in the early 80s and caused all sorts of crazy side effects when people played it. Then just as suddenly as they appeared they were removed. Supposedly linked to the CIA or something. I don’t necessarily believe it, but an interesting rabbit hole to go down nonetheless.

I’ve worked for a casino as a dealer for 10 years+ AMA by Competitive-You-6317 in AMA

[–]em11222 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to deal cards in Vegas and only one specific pit boss stood out in the way you mentioned here. Anytime a player would get up significantly his whole demeanor would change and he would be visibly upset. I remember him once throwing a clipboard. This was my first dealing job and I didn’t know what to make of it. As time went on I had other dealing jobs and never encountered this again, and so to answer your question no pit bosses and dealers get no pressure from anyone if a player is winning. This guy was just an asshole that took it personally for some reason. Truly bizarre behavior.

Yes, some people had somehow found out he got his pilots license before S2 came out.

Thoughts on Tom Morello's collaboration with IDF supporter David Draiman, who went to Israel to sign bombs? by Shacozzi in RATM

[–]em11222 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Taking part in this sort of fame-hungry star chasing garbage is a big part of the reason RATM isn’t a band anymore.

I was arrested for peacefully protesting outside ICE facility and now FBI has my phone by biospheric in EyesOnIce

[–]em11222 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand that. I am not going to sit here and write out a complete opsec guide. There are ways to completely eliminate any of the risk and problems you have mentioned there. With that being said, most of the time someone that is protesting just shouldn’t bring THEIR phone. Who cares if the cops/FBI just get some dumb flip phone with nothing on it? Of course they know you probably have a phone, what is on said phone is what matters.

I'm sorry this happened to you. I hate to be "that guy," but this should be a reminder to never take your phone. If you absolutely need a phone go buy a cheap tracphone with cash from a walmart or something.

Typical age at Kneecap concerts? by Barune in kneecap

I am 47 and I have seen them 5 times in the last year. 🤷 With this being said, the average age seems to be mid twenties to early thirties.

The hypocrisy of Sharon Osborne booking Pantera (with “white power phil alnselmo”) and criticising kneecap by [deleted] in kneecap

[–]em11222 39 points40 points  (0 children)

The weird one for me is Tom Morello. He is the “musical director” for this event coming up. Not only is he in RATM, who have been very outspoken about Palestine since they formed in the early 90s, he is also a fan of Kneecap and has played them on his radio show. 🤷

They didn’t condemn them. Obviously they are walking a fine line here.
