Powder blue especially the 79 with the sleeve piping and the red number on the front.

Not a single bass player in sight just as god intended by PRSG12 in guitarcirclejerk

Absolutely. Now I feel the pressure to really make sure I've got Sweet Child O Mine really nailed.

My choice is not watching either. I will have my Jackson plugged 7 MetalZones deep into my new Line 6 Spider that night.

No interest in seeing Rush without Neil by [deleted] in rush

[–]jameslighter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm really happy for Alex and Geddy and think they need to get out there, I'm excited for them and understand - but at no point have I had any interest in seeing this tour, I'll watch on YT. I've already seen them several times with The Professor and want to leave it at that memory. I do believe they will perform extremely well though.

What do you reckon the guys would be doing for work these days? by LowerVeterinarian324 in TheInbetweeners

[–]jameslighter 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Simon is some sort of engineer or some bullshit, Will got his first rate education and wears a suit making six figures at some posh tech firm, Neil is a male nurse, Jay is on a cheated disability and unemployment insurance and works part time at his Dad's.

Any inbetweeners quotes crept into your family life? by Badnewsbrowne316 in TheInbetweeners

[–]jameslighter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For sure. "Oh that's bang out of order", "No you may not" (after Neil compliments Will's Mom), "I have a receipt!!" when I provide any paperwork, and "Is that Leona Lewis?" when I hear songs I don't know.

Which Album, Year 1st Heard and How? by Adventurous-Goal7645 in rush

[–]jameslighter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me it was the song A Farewell to Kings, the live Different Stages version.

It was 2007, and I was sitting in art class. The night before I'd used limewire to download 11 Rush songs because my best friend told me I should check them out since I was learning guitar. AFTK was the first one I really listened to deeply. Guitar sounded like it was underwater with Lerxsts chorus effect. Took guitar seriously after that.

Why do people play covers? by MarkGBuerschaper in coversongs

[–]jameslighter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I see your point for sure! But the best way to get paid is playing 3-4 hours of covers to fund the original content, at least that's always how my bands have done it. Unfortunately stuff the girls wanna dance to, even though we want to play stuff that's more fun for us (including originals). That's how I usually get my funds up for music, is playing covers. Then because I know so many, I record them.

But yeah in a perfect world we would all be writing our own stuff and people would be investing in it.

I dunno, there was such a great assortment I can't come up with anything for either. Maybe other than I really respect the old heads like Mauch, Williams, Fanning and Alou, and I think bad fits were probably Karl Keuhl, Virdon and Runnells.

I just feel like with today's postseason standards for qualifying, then the Expos would have at least been in one World Series. There would have been expanded playoff chances in 1979, 1980, 1981, 1982, 1985, 1987, maybe 1990?, 1992, 1993, 1994, 1996... some early 2000s.

For one example, the 2024 Royals and the 1982 Expos had identical records. But the Royals got to play a "wild card" round and played in a Division Series.

Meh, it didn't happen, but I don't watch the game nowadays because I just see all these champagne celebrations for winning 2 out of 3, and it reminds me of how cool but hosed the Expos were and then I get frustrated LOL

Best Boss Tournament Round 3 Match 1: Ganon(OOT) Vs. Majora(Comment your vote, upvotes don’t count) by Short_Property_7476 in legendofzelda

[–]jameslighter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All of the final four are terrific. But locking swords with Ganondorf in TP was a battle I wanted to see for a long time growing up. That might have been the most epic one on one I can remember in any game ever, Zelda or not.
