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.

Well my students are starting to think of me as old anyway. When one told me last year that I reminder her of her father, I nearly fell of my seat. Ahhh, the impermanence of life...

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!

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.

Rhett - Absolutely love the Toadies...their "Rubberneck" album is one of my all-time favs!!

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.

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!

Robextend · #12 03-23-2010, 11:25 AM

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.

doug.goodman · #14 03-23-2010, 11:38 AM

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...

I saw Cannibal Corpse in '92 (Tomb of the Mutilated Tour), '94 (The Bleeding Tour) and '96 (The Vile Tour) at The Masquerade in Atlanta and DRI (Definition Tour) in I think '92 with Exodus, ProPain and Body Count at The Masquerade also. Slayer in '91 (Clash of Titans Tour with Anthrax and Megadeth) at The Omni in Atlanta. Were you on those tours?...............

Looking for Bernard and Fullerton. Are they in the stack?

Brian Van Horn · #18 03-23-2010, 05:27 PM

71 cards including over 40 E126s, Sport Kings, E121s and various hockey cards from the 1920s.

No iPod.

Reading Net54 posts. I'm not much for reading despite previously being a teaching assistant for a year in the English Department at West Virginia University.

Interestingly, the three geographical centers during the formative years of hardcore punk were California and England (neither surprising) and Washington D.C. (surprising).

I think the connection is bored suburban kids actually. I just read a history of Black Flag and have read a bunch of DC Hardcore books and that really seems to have fueled a lot of it. There was a difference in subtext though though as it was drug fueled in LA and not nearly as much in DC. Outside the US, there was a big scene a little later too in Newcastle/Sunderland in the UK that seems to have had the same bored kid kindling and that one was fueled by booze. This is not the original 76 wave but late 80's.

I love books about those old punk bands-it was like they were living on the last frontier they way they had to gig and tour. I didn't get into punk until my metal phase passed and I missed the first wave or two. There's still a dozen or so bands I really like from the punk days, many of which are still around.
