Can barely make a chord on the guitar now a days. To much arthritis from a bad accident in my left hand. I had broke the metacarpols in my left hand in 8 places. So now even swinging a baseball bat is a chore.
I do miss playing, in a band. Those were always fun times.
How?..
Yeah, before the BEPH crash.. dumbass!
That's a pic of the Atlantic coast, stickboy.. how in hell could that be an owning!
the moderator to do his job if the thread went off-topic.
That would kill me.
That sucks, sorry to hear that, dude.
I popped a metacarpal in my right hand a few years back. The docs told me if they casted it, I was going to lose a lot of mobility in my pinky, which was not an option, as I use it for volume swells - so I refused to let them put a cast on my hand.
Splinted it for the whole 6 weeks, taking it off every few days and using it to ensure I retained mobility. Which hurt like hell!Fortunately it healed almost perfectly, except that knuckle is now pretty much flat as a pancake...still works though!
But in your world, a moderator's job is to give his password to other trolls and get canned for it, so your opinion on how Matt & I do our jobs here is worthless. Just like you!

Trolls take heed...LOG OUT & FUCK OFF!!!
Why?...
... huh?
What was GAr's response when his singer asked him to play a #D?
While stationed in Phoenix we went up to Flagstaff for a winter break one weekend. We got stupid trashed and still went sledding at 1am. Well everythign turned to ice. I went down and hit a tree. I had put my left hand out (stupid) and busted my hand to shreds, wrist, and elbow.
Lesson learned: never try to stop your body weight moving at a fast speed with your hand. The tree one.
But on a side note, the Jack Daniels numbed the pain, and the next day my left hand was 3 times its normal size.
The Air Force basically told me that it was the only option. So i was fucked either way. I had the mobility afterwards, but now over the years, it just doesnt work. Heck even working with small parts like screws for a laptop is a chore. The dexterity in that hand is not what it once was.That sucks, sorry to hear that, dude.

That's fucked up.
Yeah, once-broken bones do seem to get arthritic more quickly, even prematurely. Unfortunately, that's probably why you're losing dexterity over time, as bad as that break was....Again, my condolences, dude.
But I can totally see how that'd happen -the busted pinky still hurts occasionally, and an ankle I broke when I was 19 still bothers the shit out of me occasionally. Sucks.
You're right....
"Air Force".....
Oh man I feel for you. Have you looked into the Arthritis Foundation to see if they can help? I don't have arthritis (yet) but my hands swell after playing 2 and 3 nights in a row on top of all the regular rehearsing.
I have my solo thing that is mainly recording right now. Danny Isaacs Band plays 4 hour nights almost every weekend. On top of that, my other band (Album Cover) is playing Queensryche's Operation Mindcrime in it's entirety in a few weeks. Rehearsals are long and there is a lot of homework for it too. Most nights, my wife has 2 small buckets of ice water waiting on me when I get home. I sit there from 4-5 a.m. soaking my hands, drinking beer and laughing at Rev. Kerney Thomas on BET. Hands usually still hurt on Sunday though.

Fuckin' hell...
Why settle for something you have, if it's not as good as something you're out to get?
It's like putting up a YouTube of Bach and playing Chopstix on your Bontempi...
I'm in a band !
Quit the Murder junkies last year and am writing and recording demos for a new record with my old band Jackass (yes, we were called that before the tv show and no, we're not that rotten awful stinking shitty band from LA*).
Here's some MJs videos.
In this clip, you'll not here much in the way of vocals, but the guitar is pretty decent sounding for cam audio. Also, when I do finally make the frame you'll see me using the one handed tapping technique I learned from J. Hale and Gar back when they used to be in love. They were my parents, and I'm just all tore up inside about all this fighting. Can't you guys just get along for once, for me ? It's my birthday next week.
Kill Thy Father @ Club 9, New Haven
And here's some slop from '06, so drunk.
*we're the rotten awful stinking shitty band from Cincinnati
It's a shame that families should be torn apart by something as simple as....wild dogs
Pure comedy, right there!
OK, that was kinda funny.
Hey, and it's my birthday this week! (Same day as DLR, btw!)
You got more video than I do! XLNT
Hey, my chick's from Akron.. and Letsrock is from the Cleveland area too so it can't be that baaaad?
I'm from the Cincy area and I say it's baaaaad.
I've never heard of you guys, jackassrock. Where did you play?
Where are you now?
Jackass was around from about 2000 till 2005 when I joined the Murder Junkies. We played the Clifton and Downtown bars, the fireworks, Oktoberfest, and the like. We did a little midwest/east coast touring, and released a CD in '03 that did pretty well for an indie lable (my own, Mulepower). We also were the default opener for 80s metal bands back then and did gigs at Top Cats, Southgate House, and Sudsy's with the likes of Faster Pussycat, Every Mother's Nightmare, Pretty Boy Floyd, Kings X, etc. and newer rock acts like The Datsuns, Buckethead, and McKlusky.
Joining the MJs put a stop to that though. With the fairly constant touring it was hard keeping it together at home, playing music was tough to organize, as was finding work for short periods in between tours, so I got out.
Jackass is back, in a matter of speaking, we're playing, but I'm looking for a second guitarist who plays slide to replace the guy on lap steel that we had previously. He just couldn't keep up on the guitar when the steel wasn't in use. I'm looking for a traditional "lead guitar player" to handle different voicings, fills and licks during the vocal, and that sort of thing while I sing. So far the search is going slow.
Meanwhile, I'm writing and recording for a new record to be released in the spring. Here's a brand new one that I recorded in the practice spot with Pro Tools 7LE. The bass player sings it cause it's more his style vocally than mine, except the choruses... moi. I'd say it's a pretty good demo anyway, but the finished product should rock pretty hard. Here's a link to a soundclick page where I hosted the tune, if you are so inclined to listen.

Yeah...I know that feeling ,too. It's hard enough to keep 4 or 5 guys focused for long periods of time. Outside bullshit from wives and girlfriends are kryptonite to bands.
Maybe you've been looking in the wrong places? What are you doing that you want slide work done?
Not going to download anything, sorry. Are you back in Cincy now?
HYS,
Question. Is the Cincy area supportive of more R&R or country?
I know the Cleveland area has a raging hard on for classic rock.
What is the support for a good rock band like in Cincy?
John
Yeah, I'm back in Cincinnati.
The scene here really is about the indie, garage thing with a helping of country and roots rock. Bands like The Buffalo Killers, Wussy, The Chocolate Horse, The Heartless Bastards (recently relocated in Austin) are cincy based and doing pretty well for themselves.
Of course there's a little bit of everything going on, but hard rock and metal are not the most popular genres in town.
Do you have to download that track ? I thought you could listen to it there.
Mark Messerly is in that band yes? Are Dave Purcell and the guys from Pike 27 still around?
Yeah, Mark is still with them, but they got a new drummer. I haven't heard about Pike 27 in a few years, but they played some gigs with us back 5 years or so ago. I remember that band.
I'm in a band that I started this year in high-school. It's called MSA-5150.
Right now it's just me on lead guitar and backing vocals and my friend Jon on bass and backing vocals.
Reading Crazy From the Heat in four hours flat, in a cramped RV, on the return trip of a 3,000+ mile family outing to New Jersey is an enlightening experience you'll never forget.
I'm an idiot.:0
Yes, you can listen there....which I will in a few..
Depends on where you go, I guess. I haven't done the club thing since......fuck, I can't remember exactly. 3 or 4 years?
If you have a diverse setlist, you can go anywhere. Or nowhere if you so desire. If you stick with one style, you'd better find a booking agent and be willing to travel. The difference is how much scratch you keep at the end of the night/weekend/week or whatever. You'd do it for free at first, then....$$$$$$$$$.
It's really all about what the club owner wants.
I hate country, but I've played it. Never exclusively. Always room for some SRV and shit like that.
Then we're neighbors.
Do you play slide ?Then we're neighbors.
The Rolling Stone cover. Who could forget! If a geni popped out of a bottle and said "Who do you want to fuck?" My first choice would be Jen.
Maybe...
