Bill's New Home

Filipina women are the biggest gold diggers on the planet. In the Marines we had a joke "They're all looking for a trip to the land of the big PX." Most people knew what was going on but the women keep on trying and there are always a few assgoblins who fall for them. No doubt your wife is being influenced by the other woman who is using your wife as a support system.

Stick to your guns Jimmy!

Hey Buzz, what's up man..yes I agree..hey what's the big PX ..

Jimmy is hangin' tough..he's taking care of biz..

Billzzzzzz not much just plunking down money on guitars I need to find a good shop with lots of amps here.

Every base has a PX (Post Exchange) or a BX i think it called by the Army. Basically it's a department store, soldiers can buy all their necessary shit there and lots of goodies too. Filipina women looooooooooooooove dating soldiers because they can escort them on base to go shopping, eat "Kentucky" (KFC) etc... Their ultimate goal is to snag a G.I. long enough to get a greencard to get to the land of the big PX, the U.S.A.

Sailors have a joke more about women too. Mostly about women in general than Filipinas. "She's waving bye to you as your ship leaves port with one hand, and dialing her backup with the other hand."

My son wanted me to post a pic of him as Gene Simmons. As I am not a Kiss fan the makeup was close but not 100%. He loved playing the part and stuck his tongue out at all the girls. Here's eVan at his grandma's place - rockin out. Dig those bitchin boots.

[Cleveland Metal]

Hehe... Nice....

[horns666]

Oh that fuggin' sweet as shit..eVan is kickin' ass ass..ahhh mna if that kiddo came to my door I'd give him all my fuggin' candy

Oh..Vinny is here..here.

This is Vinny, that is very cool.

My dad wanted me to be a stupid Pirate again this year.:ROTF: :ROTF: :ROTF: :ROTF:

No way,I was a stupid pirate when I was 4. So I stayed home and ate all the candy.

[lerxstcat]

Hey Vinny, good thinking! Skip the middleman and eat your own candy, huh? You "sound" a lot like your dad, that's a good thing!

And Jimmy, Evan looks cool! The "tat" sleeves are a nice touch!

maybe he's just like I was as a kid, and doesn't like having his pic taken. Dressing up is fun, but why the grownups always gotta take my pic when I do?

[VitaminG]

Dudes, I didn't want to start a new thread (because probably no one would read it), but I'm just busting to tell you about last night

I broke my cherry!

That's right. I saw Nevermore in concert for the first time.

It was the first time I'd seen the opening act, Minus Life, too. I've had the album for a while and since I've become friends with the bassist, was looking forward to see 'em perform live: http://www.sinister.com.au/_reviews/...fe_eternal.php
They were really good. ML have scored some plum international supports this year and they were supertight. Good to see a Brisbane band stand up in this kind of company.

But to Nevermore. What to say? Amazing. Brilliant. Worth every cent and more, and better than even my loftiest expectations. Everyone in the band was totally 'on'. Loomis nailed EVERYTHING, banging and swinging his hair while he did it. I don't if this would be considered a run-of-the-mill show for Nevermore or if it was something special, because it seemed pretty special to me.

fyi, both guys played Dual Rectos, Broderick through Marshall cabs & Loomis through Mesa, and sounded awesome! At least, until the tinitis finally caught up with me and the sound in my head went to shit.

But the coolest part of the whole night (even cooler than the two cute 18 year old metal chicks from the concert who felt compelled to introduce themselves at the post party & hang out with me for the rest of the evening ) was after the gig.

A bunch of us moseyed on up to the official post party at a metal club to watch a couple of local bands and hang out with some of the crew & members from the 3 bands that played the main gig. Van Williams & Jeff Loomis rocked up and it was cool to shake both their hands and tell them how much I enjoyed the gig. Then left them to it, not wanting to be all fanboy....ie?, and rejoined my two new friends. During the course of the evening, folks leave and the party gradually dwindles to a large group sitting around a couple of tables. So we're all sitting about, shooting shit and having a laugh when the venue announces they're shutting their doors and kicks us all into the street.

So where else we going to drink? I wasn't sure if the Nevermore guys & crew were joining us, but everyone was having a good time so we elect to head a couple of blocks over to the last place in the area open at 2.00am on a Wednesday night. All the Nevermore camp decide to tag along.

So this cloud of blackshirts descends on Ric's Cafe. I'm sure it scared the shit out of a couple of the "normals" already there.

Everyone was just so cool. Nobody tried to monopolise the Nevermore guys. It was like we'd all been hanging out for years. I'm hanging out the back with my friend from Minus Life and the bassplayer from one of the bands at the post party, when Van charges in and joins the conversation. For being members of the world's premier metal band, Van & Jeff were both so unaffected. It might've helped that the Aussie techs were hanging so much shit on both guys (and each other and anyone else) that it would be difficult to become arrogant

Even after Ric's closed down at 4.00 & we had nothing left to drink, we all stood out front of the place and goofed around. Jeff seemed tired and looking to head to bed, but Van was still having a good time. One of my new friends, Lauren, had found a marker and decided to sign her name on the grey tshirt I was wearing. Van immediately grabbed the marker off her and commenced to write a novel down my chest (wrote my name, unprompted too! Dude knows my name!) Now let me qualify that by stating that I NEVER ask for autographs. Don't see the sense in them, and I'd rather just not make whoever feel like I'm trying to score a trophy, or proof of my meeting them. So Van's actions were a complete surprise. And then he said "now go see Jeff!" So I guess in the end I did ask someone for an autograph. D'oh!

When the guys finally decided it was time to get some sleep, Van shook my hand and gave me a (manly) hug before they all took off back to the hotel.

Now this is might be SOP for you folks in the States, but bands of this calibre aren't just popping out for short tours, a couple of weeks at a time, never more than a few hundred mile from home. Hanging out with the punters probably doesn't seem as great a strain then. When they come to Oz, it'll be on a usually be just one leg of a lengthy tour, with a lot of travel getting here and a lot more getting around the country. It's not altogether unexpected if the band maybe shakes a few hands before heading back to the hotel to get some sleep before their next 10 hour bus ride to the next capital city. I've seen bands that take off from the venue immediately after the gig; Yngwie's band came out to have a beer while he ducked out the back door; some guys will meet with the fans and are friendly, and they seem to genuinely want to give something back to the fans, but it's a quick handshake and a word before moving on.

But Van & Jeff seemed like just a couple of guys out to drink a heap & talk shit with some fellow metalheads. I guess if I'm waffling a bit, it's just because nice to see that a band that I hold in the highest regard musically are also a nice bunch of guys.

for my 40 bucks last night, I got a world class concert for nearly 3 hours and then 3 1/2 hours hanging out with the bands! Fuck backstage - this was so much cooler

[Snoogans]

So did you get the phone numbers from the 18 year-olds?

Shit, what a great night that must have been. I'm pretty bloody jealous about now.
I stayed in and watched TV last night...
