These were pretty damn good seats for having standing room only tickets. The usher kicked us out of the standing room zone because we didn't have home plate standing room tickets, but he was like why the hell are you guys standing, this entire section is empty.

I'm still XXXXed up on Thrice's 'Beggars' album. I don't have the capacity to indulge in two potentially paradigm-shifting albums in one week.

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

oh, and i spent $100 rebuilding my front DS this morning. i think that and a worn out rear u-joint were the awful noise culprits, not the t-case.

who the eff spends $100 on a front shaft?
 
Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

So I still have no idea what the hell is up with my front axle.

I measured both spindle surfaces relative to the diff, and they're both at ~88*. So 2* off from perpendicular.

I only worked on the drivers side tonight. The shaft seems to get bound up in one spot during a revolution, sometimes bad, other times not much if at all. Without a camber shim, I can barely turn it.

Ross said he'd let me borrow his stock shafts so I'm going to see if the shafts are the culprit. I have literally 0 end play on it with the spindle on. It's tight as shit. I measured the inner and stub and they're right for my year at 15.96" and 11.4" respectively.

I'm a music nerd, and I have no immediate tasks at work. Let's see...

Master of Puppets was the song - and specifically the guitar solo - that made me want to play lead guitar. I heard it when I was in 5th grade, and at the time I'd had very little exposure to anything metal. My friend's brother was taking guitar lessons and played that song for us, and I was hooked immediately. Ironic thing is after 16 years of playing I still haven't sat down and learned that solo. :laugh:

All that Remains is pretty decent, I don't turn it off when it comes on XM/Octane, but I don't have it on my iPod and haven't gone looking for any of it. I dunno, just something a little too generic about it. I already have enough 'stuff like that'...something really needs to fill a gap I don't have if I'm gonna put it in rotation.

GNR...I'm glad I'm not the only one on here that thinks Axl Rose is annoying as shit. It's iconic hard rock for sure, but he is really damn near unlistenable to me. Slash's solo album is a much better alternative IMO - the GNR 'sound' without the dying cat wailing over the top of it. Especially on the song you mentioned - give me Bob Dylan or Eric Clapton anyday.

Collective Soul's 'Hints, Allegations, and Things Left Unsaid' was another one of my 'first' albums. 1994 was an incredibly epic year for music and this album was no exception. The fact that it was originally only intended as a demo album, but instead released as-is as their debut from the record company, says a lot about the band. To put 1994 in perspective, here's what I remember off the top of my head:

Alice in Chains, Jar of Flies
Green Day, Dookie
Soundgarden, Superunknown*
Nine Inch Nails, The Downward Spiral* <-- came out on the SAME DAY
Dream Theater, Awake
Nirvana, Unplugged (followed by Cobain's death the same year)
Pearl Jam, Vitalogy
Bush, Sixteen Stone
Pantera, Far Beyond Driven
Offspring, Smash
Live, Throwing Copper
Blues Traveler, Four
Dave Matthews Band, Under The Table And Dreaming
Weezer, Blue Album
Hootie & The Blowfish, Cracked Rear View
Stone Temple Pilots, Purple
Toadies, Rubberneck
Oasis, Definitely Maybe
Jimmy Eat World, (self titled)

I mean, really? Seriously? That year alone XXXXing blows my mind, not even thinking about the stuff +/- a year or two on either side. Not only was that music unbelieveable, but the amount of it that's still relevant a decade and a half later amazes me.

Anyway. Killswitch Engage. Good stuff, I actually bought End of Heartache and As Daylight Dies, and keep selections off both in regular rotation on my iPod. Nice contrast between screaming & melodic vocals.

Yes, it's more than 3 lines. Suck it.
 
Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

Holy cow, I was not expecting a response like that. :laugh:

We all pretty much like the same stuff, except for GNR. But I'm going to have to call BS on you remembering/knowing all those came out in 1994, Google works well huh? :D
As far as relevent/good music still over a decade later, I here you there. Most new music nowadays (aside from smaller bands) is stuff only Adam/Carmelo can listen too. :puke:
 
Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

Meh, I like just about all the music that has been posted, just varying degrees of how often I will listen to it.

And I agree, '94 kicked ass. I think it's one of the (if not the) first years I actually remember albums releasing, going to buy albums, etc.

I haven't listened to much 'new' music since 2008. I tend to keep my zune on random-all and the last time I purchased/downloaded music was before I graduated in '08. So other than throwing my radio on once in a while I am a few years behind. :dunno:

And FWIW: I'm in no way saying I remember those albums coming out in '94... Just that I remember when some of those came out and that they were some of the first albums I bought so therefore '94 must have been one of the first years I remember :laugh3:

Great song, just listened to it in the car on my way in (before reading NAXJA)

I can't say that I only ever want to listen to one type of music. Sometimes it's Pantera, others it's classical. I'm all over the board except for most rap and all country music.

Totally unrelated, my coffee-quitting endeavors are going well. Only had 3 cups of coffee in 10 days. Down from my usual 1-1.5 cups a day.

And why the hell would you want to quit drinking coffee? I did cut myself down from getting a large to a medium from honeydew each morning have no desire to cut it out completely.

edit: And I think over the course of the day I am just going to keep adding music that y'all are talking about to my grooveshark playlist. So far added thrice and frightened rabbit (never heard of the latter so hopefully it's good.)

I'm going to remove the thrust washer on the stub shaft and see if that frees it up. If it does then I might try swapping to stock knuckles since maybe the SOLIDs are effed up.

Go live in your time machine. And don't listen to any new music because according to you it's all the same. :moon::moon::moon::moon:

P.S. Sam & Adam (& Colin though he doesn't put it out there) likes "music nowadays" too.

Honestly, no, that is from memory. This is not the first time I've had this conversation. :laugh: The epicness of 1994 was one of the frequently-recurring topics back in my cover band days at college, and the many long nights after band practices back home.

And I agree, '94 kicked ass. I think it's one of the (if not the) first years I actually remember albums releasing, going to buy albums, etc.

Yep. At that point I was 12, at the critical turning point of being just old enough to start riding my bike into town, having a source of income to buy stuff (mowing lawns, raking leaves, etc), and wanting to develop a musical identity of my own instead of listening to the same stuff my parents always listened to. I remember not being able to buy Dookie because it had the parental advisory/explicit lyrics sticker on it. :laugh:

As a side conversation, I've noticed a lot that we tend to 'skip' the music that came out when we're born. When you're first growing up you listen to the stuff your parents like, when you're old enough to know any better you catch on to the current stuff. I was born in '82 and I really don't know shit about 80's music. Sure, there's the carryover from being a guitar fanatic and exploring the earlier stuff from bands that I found out about in the 90's, but as far as the "80's" genre, I'm really pretty clueless.

God I'm a chatty asshole today. :laugh:

It screws up my appetite and I think it caused me to lose a few pounds. That's not something I can really afford to do. I'm a little over 6'1" and, soaking wet, I weigh 155lbs right now. If I start excericising I'll gain some weight (rather counter intuitive, eh?)
