I never before realised how good Green Day are till >you mentioned that...! Actually, I've found them pretty entertaining sometimes. They seem to have the rock band vibe figured out pretty well. Although, they also live in really large houses now, and have gear that is not at all cheap, which would explain them doing acoustic ballads on Mtv. but punk is a good example of my principle. No unnecessary gear getting in the way of the music. Just let all the attitude flow right out there in a good cathartic thing. If Fripp let people stage dive, his shows would be much better IMHO. >>turns out to be true surprisingly often.

A few years ago I had an old aria pro 2 and a Nady Lightning amp (betcha haven't seen one of those!), and I practiced endlessly. Since then, I've been steadily sinking into weekend warrior land for the past few years, which is depressing but damn it sure sounds better. btw, I drive a honda civic, if anyone's curious about my position on #3. I drive it really fast, though. ;-) kim ______________________________________________________________________ Kim Flint | Looper's Delight kflint@annihilist.com | http://www.annihilist.com/loop/loop.html http://www.annihilist.com/ | Loopers-Delight-request@annihilist.com
