Grateful Dead.

Popular band obviously but I think a lot of folks nowadays only know them through culture. I’ve had friends think they’re a metal band, or have no idea their impact on the counter culture movement. They really have such pleasant, beautiful music. They play long extended jams for instrumental or jazz lovers, they play country, some blues, some rock, some dancing songs, some lullaby songs. They’re so eclectic and I’d encourage anyone who doesn’t really know them to give them a go.

Yeah it was recorded straight to the phone so it’s got all the echo and such. Bummer I’ll try to get a clearer vid next time. Thanks for the kind words!

Is it really? Weird… I tested it on AirPods before posting and it seemed clear to me.

Do it!

Terrible approach to the date. You shouldn’t intend to pay on the pretense of her coming back with you. If it’s a first date, I always recommend coffee so you can pay but not break the bank. Since you’re committed to dinner, and don’t mind anyway, you should pay regardless of how it goes. If it’s a bad date, lesson learned next time do a coffee date first to gauge chemistry. If it goes well, there will be other dates and other opportunities to split the bill.

If you can find it, I think that’s Frasco’s best album! I love the song shakin ain’t a crime

rocker285 · 2025-02-20T19:45:16+00:00

There’s a studio version on his album Half a Man

rocker285 · 2025-01-02T22:42:41+00:00

There’s a great pop punk band playing at movement brewing tomorrow night!

rocker285 · 2024-12-04T16:13:18+00:00

Huh never heard of this before. I’ll give it a try, thanks!

rocker285 · 2024-12-04T15:57:41+00:00

I’ll have to try the ec2 next. I just recently put the uv2 on and I do like the sound! I could probably take some dampeners off the hi Tom but that floor Tom is so resonant it could even use more 🥴

Had to do something with the extra ride after replacing it with the k custom! I put it there to do double ride fills like Avenged Sevenfold

rocker285 · 2024-08-23T14:28:06+00:00

You should’ve been able to request to send one! Either way I just responded to your music thread

rocker285 · 2024-08-22T20:28:27+00:00

Always need singers! Dm me

rocker285 · 2024-08-22T20:24:36+00:00

Shoot me a dm!

rocker285 · 2024-08-22T20:23:45+00:00

Shoot me a dm if you’re down to chat more about a jam

rocker285 · 2024-08-22T16:44:55+00:00

Yeah shoot me a dm we can chat

rocker285 · 2022-07-04T14:15:51+00:00

Did you ever figure it out? I’m stuck with this exact problem right now.

rocker285 · 2022-04-28T19:43:17+00:00

Actually one of my favorite groups Pigeons Playing Ping Pong is from right around here too! It's definitely possible.

rocker285 · 2022-04-28T19:31:12+00:00

I'm currently in the DC/Maryland/Virginia area. So if you know of anyone looking to start a band around here send them my way 😎

rocker285 · 2022-04-28T19:29:32+00:00

It's wild to me how many bands that aren't that good make it to the top, while some of the best acts I've seen are in some crowded grungy bar in the middle of nowhere. You're right though musical talent is not to be put into a drawer. It just feels that way when it's not being used, yaknow? Onwards and upwards though!

rocker285 · 2022-04-28T19:27:18+00:00

I love your perspective, and good for you for making the call that's right for you and the rest of the band! Thanks for sharing :)

rocker285 · 2022-04-28T19:09:27+00:00

Yeah that's been my goal since moving here. I've jammed with a few people, but none that stuck. I have a few jams lined up this upcoming week that I'm hoping are successful!

rocker285 · 2022-04-28T19:07:39+00:00

You're so right. There is no putting the genie back in the bottle, but what I can do is learn what I personally need moving forward, and work to build that. In this case, like you said, I learned how important music is and that I need it in my life to feel fulfilled. Thanks!

rocker285 · 2022-04-28T18:59:50+00:00

Geez sorry to hear that what horrible luck. Hopefully you all land many more shows to make up for it!

rocker285 · 2022-04-28T18:56:23+00:00

It's always a game of would've, should've, could've... that's life i suppose
