    AlinChainz Appreciation

    It's hard to believe, but it's been two years since Al passed away. You know you've left an imprint when it still feels like he's here...

    So with that said, let's keep it simple, and make it a tradition every year...

    Let's tip one to Roth Army's very own Toastmaster General...AlinChainz, and in his very own forum to boot...

    Here's to you Mick...

    "Van Halen was one of the most hallelujah, tailgate, backyard, BBQ, arrive four hours early to the gig just for the parking lot bands. And still to this day is. It's an attitude. I think it's a spirit more than anything else is."

    Would've been cool to pound down a few with him in person....

      For obvious reasons, this weekend has been one of somber reflection for many. After watching a series of documentaries on the History channel last evening, it would suffice to say that I woke up feeling fairly burnt out, even with the anticipation of several hours of NFL viewing coming up.

      Toward some full disclosure here, Al and I only crossed paths on a few occasions, so I am not about to pretend that he and I were close friends, and no, I did not know the man well enough to call him Mick. Yet I must say, if anyone reading this is feeling the blues, I highly recommend doing what I did this morning:

      On a whim after seeing this thread, I went back and reread several of Al's posts. While doing so, I found myself literally laughing out loud, a phrase that is used all too commonly when applied to mundane humor, but it certainly is not the case here. The guy's devious wit will have you doubling over, particularly with his scathing and unrelenting shots fired at Joe Thunder. Seriously, if you knew the guy or not, his postings will brighten the gloom, yet at the same time also point out why and how deeply the man is missed.

      Here's to you, Al. It is to my own unceasing regret that I did not know you better.

                    Although I only spoke to Al via PM outside of the general forums a couple of times, you could tell he was totally cool. We had a common love of AIC as well as VH. R.I.P. Mick.





                    Gone, but never forgotten. He left an indelible imprint on this place. And that was a GOOD thing.

                              I'm not 100% sure...

                              but I do think that something bad happened...and it's gone...

                              I'll look into it though...perhaps we have it archived somewhere...
