I think Jeff Ament (the bassist) and maybe another guy from Pearl Jam were originally in Mother Love Bone.

Jim B- when it comes to the Dead, I'm more into the 1967-70 era. I think they sounded best when Tom Constanten played with them (albeit for only a year and a half).

Cards-(well, posters): An OPC CFL poster, an OPC baseball pinup and an A&BC Footballer pin up, all from around 1970-I need some hard plastics so they are sitting in my inbox until I get some.

Music on the iPod: Leatherface's new album "The Stormy Petrel" (Northern England's post-hardcore masters are the best, son)

Book: Kurt Vonnegut-"Look at the Birdie": Unpublished Short Fiction

I like to think of '68-69 as "primal Dead". It is great stuff! 1970 is one of my favorite years. There were quite a few acoustic sets and they were transitioning from the heavy psychedelia of '69 into the country/rock/jam band. The fusion of styles is amazing.

Jim- "Mountains of the Moon" is a wonderful acoustic piece. You can find Jerry playing it on youtube on an episode of Playboy After Dark.

Yes, I went to the Fillmore East pretty regularly, at least ten times I would think. But never saw the Dead there. I did see them at the Boston Tea Party in November 1969.

Best groups I saw at the Fillmore: The Doors, Jefferson Airplane, Mothers of Invention, Canned Heat, Jethro Tull...and I'm sure I'm forgetting a few.

Daryle- I just checked my copy of "San Francisco's Grateful Dead" but it's in stereo. Mono is rarer, no doubt.

No worries, Clayton. My parents thought that Mick Jagger was the anti-Christ. Someday your grandkids will have tattoos on their livers and will roll their pierced eyeballs at whatever the hell it is y'all play in your boomcars today. Plus ça change . .

I guess I should add that music is a mood thing for me.......I also love classic rock (Thin Lizzy,Mountain,Hendrix,Stones),,as well as Bluegrass & Classic Country,,,,,Silversun Pickups,,,The Cars,,,and even though I never considered myself a "Deadhead",I've been to about six Dead shows back in the day(space is something else,in the right state of mind)

Saw Silversun Pickups with Muse a couple weeks ago, one of the best shows I ever seen.

I don't have a desk, but I have 5 cards pinned to a book shelf - Mark Fidrych, Brien Taylor (who wishes he had, at least, been Mark Fidrych), Rich Rowland, Dock Ellis and a fake Ted Williams card.

Today I bounced between listening to "The Angels" (an Australian rock band who's first album "Face To Face" is one of the best rock albums ever released), Dr. Hook and Danko Jones (another fantastic band, this one from Toronto, who not enough people have heard of).

I just finished reading "The Original Curse" by Sean Deveney, and just started "A Ball Player's Career" by Cap Anson.

Yup, I agree. My brother was shocked when he saw that the lead singer was a dude. The latest album turned me on to them...

Hi Brian,
If this is referring to Barry and my conversation about the Grateful Dead shows from 1967-70, I am actually not that old. I just have an extensive collection of tapes of their concerts. In the years that I took a hiatus from card collecting, I took up taping and collecting Grateful Dead shows.

All these types of threads do is reinforce in my mind what great taste I have how much lacking are the rest. I'm convinced some of you were raised by wolves-- or in Newark.

Of course I'm joking. I've never even been to Newark.

Is that right? On one hand, I wouldn't have guessed that based on his antics the one time I saw them here in St. Louis, but on the other, I suspect there's a normal human under the rock star facade.

Hmmm, my favorite Stereolab album varies a bit, but Emperor Tomato Ketchup probably wears the crown most often. Transient Random-Noise Bursts with Announcements is another fave, thanks in large part to the epic "Jenny Ondioline."

Daryle and Clayton....I'm glad I'm not alone. I was beginning to wonder. I also have a bunch of Hatebreed and Fear Factory on my Ipod.

..........AND looking through my Ipod, not everything is hardcore/death metal. I do have some classics like Black Sabbath, Jimi Hendrix, Metallica (only the "And Justice for All Album", Led Zeppelin, and The Who. I also have some more common late 90's stuff like Alice in Chains and some Rage Against the Machine.

What cards are on my desk?:
None. I like to keep a clean desk.

Whats on my IPod?:
I don't have one. I prefer channel surfing on my Sirius satellite radio.

What am I reading?:
Dave Ramsey's "The Total Money Makeover". Oddly there's nothing in there about budgeting for baseball cards.

Cardtarget--I would recommend The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand over Atlas Shrugged--especially if you haven't read her before...just MHO.

On my desk I have a lot of 97 newly acquired T206's, a Clint Frank certified auto card, and large group of nonsport n and t cards....

I'm listening to classical music...

I'm currently reading "Our Daily Meds".

What cards are on my desk?:
-A mountain of 1911 Zeenuts, my Zeenut dupes I have been trying to move, and other odds n ends
-also a big group of nonsports cards (N & T's) that I still am wading through, I gotta admit those actresses always make me think of Queen's Fat Bottomed Girls

Whats on my IPod?:
I don't have one. but I have recently been listening to Ozzy, Toadies, Pearl Jam, STP, Social D, GnR, and... Yo Gabba Gabba! (the last one wasn't my choice!)

What am I reading?:
Basically anything I can get my hands on that has nothing to do with Dentistry!

Default Rhett, you paint a most unique image...

That of a Dentist, sitting at his desk in his scrubs and facemask, listening to alternating tracks of GnR and YoGabba Gabba, while thumbing through cards of Pinup girls while wearing light blue rubber gloves, and yelling to his patient in the other room, "Spit!"

disturbing...

Jim- for me one of the first signs I knew I was getting older was when, a number of years ago, I was shopping and the clerk behind the counter said "what can I get for you, sir?" The word "sir" was the dividing line. That is when I realized to a kid in his twenties I looked like an old man. Now it's been so long I am used to it.

I must admit to being slightly amused at how much metal is listened to by this board. I wonder how many of you guys I crossed paths with when I was touring with Slayer or Cannibal Corpse or DRI or Yngwie or ... ? Hahahaha.

What cards are on your desk :
Four raw VG T206 commons

What's on your iPOD :
The Breeders on heavy rotation, as well as Paramore's "Riot".

Whatcha reading:
"Paradise" by Donald Barthelme. I get on Barthelme kicks, as well as Raymond Carver.

Props for someone listening to Howlin' Wolf and people reading some Rand.

Doug......I take it you are the Doug Goodman who was Slayer's original tour manager? Nice to meet you. Great choice of a band to be a tour manager for. You must have some great stories!

I second Eric's comments. I saw Slayer with Pantera almost a decade ago at Nassau Coliseum in Long Island and they totally kicked ass. Nice to meet you...

I saw Slayer almost a decade ago as well. It was July 29th, 2000 at The Rave in Milwaukee, WI. They headlined for the "Tattoo the Earth Tour". Other notable metal bands at that show: Sepultura, Hed P.E., Hatebreed, Downset, Nothingface, Slipknot, Sevendust, Six Feet Under, etc.

Apologies for the slight hijack of this thread, but yep that's me. My first tour was in the lead singer's camaro. Not as comfortable as the charter jet I used with my current band on our last Australian tour, but it was still lots of fun.

For all the Deadheads who are sick of the metal posts, for me it's been a long strange trip...

I suggest that anymore Doug / Slayer talk move to email doug.goodman@earthlink.net

Back to baseball...

Two of my all time favorite hard core punk bands were Discharge (British) and Black Flag (American). When a member of the British band was asked why they picked Discharge as band's name, he said "Because it was obnoxious" .... When the leader of Black Flag was asked why they picked that name, he said it was because of the simultaneous associations with anarchy and bug spray ... There's a bit of beauty in those answers.

Another great hardcore band was named Minor Threat, and that name was just being being playful. They'd play their supersonic explosions of sound with the implicit or explicit knowledge, "Don't be unduly scared of us. We're just a Minor Threat." In fact one of their songs was "We're just a Minor Threat."

I'm sure the bands themselves see the ludicrousness and comedy in their names as well as anyone else.

I was always partial to L.A. punk bands. X is by far my favorite. Black Flag, The Germs, Social Distortion, etc. were all good. A bit up the road, the Dead Kennedys did not suck.
