Rage. Radiohead. NIN. :jump

needless to say im pumped! :mrgreen:

who will be partaking in this momentus event?

I was listening to 'The Rules' tonight, and it really struck me. Simple, suttle, and amazing.

Gord's voice sounds extra-raspy/cigarette-y, and I really think it adds to the song. Not that I'm condoning tobacco, and I think I read somewhere that Gord quit back in the Henhouse days.

The spanish guitar is awesome, and I really like the fade out drum-beat (similar to the idea used as the outro for The Dark Canuck), and it makes for a great transistion into Chagrin Falls.

Its not that I didn't like 'The Rules' before, but, I just think I have a new appreciation for it. Very cool tune.

Match-up #23 - Flamenco Vs. Greasy Jungle
Listen to the two songs in the match-up Back to Back, and consider the lyrics of the song. Feel free to post an unbiased analysis of both songs in this thread, but please refrain from cheerleading or making predictions for your favourites.

Stone Temple Pilots Reunite To Continue 'Legacy,' Thanks To Scott Weiland's Wife

After five years apart, grunge rockers kick off 65-date trek May 17 in Ohio.

By Chris Harris, with additional reporting by Todd Brown

Unlike most bands that reunite after a bitter split and several years of animus, Stone Temple Pilots — who shared the stage for the first time in five years on Monday night at the former Hollywood Hills estate of magician Harry Houdini — claim they aren't in it for the cash. Nope, STP — frontman Scott Weiland, bassist Robert DeLeo, guitarist Dean DeLeo and kitman Eric Kretz — just missed being STP.

"This is home for us," Dean DeLeo said, following Monday's press conference, during which the band announced it would be heading out this summer on a full-fledged, 65-date reunion run. "I'm fond of our legacy, and I'm fond of our band — I'm a fan. I get off when I'm riding down the highway and an STP track comes on the radio. I get off on that."

But just how did the reunion come together? "Scott's mom called mine and Robert's mom, and then they called Kretz's mom, and they thought it would be a great idea for the boys to do," DeLeo joked. "I hate begging to be whipped and hit, because when they ground us, we can't go out and play. It's the worst, man."

Truthfully, the Stone Temple Pilots reunion, which DeLeo said has been in the works for about eight months, began with just one phone call — from Weiland's wife, Mary.

"Mary called me, because Robert and I have this band with [Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers drummer] Steve Feronne, doing this big 12-piece band [called Farm Fur], and Mary called me, because there was some private party she was involved with, and she asked us to play," said DeLeo. "And then she said, 'Scott's here. Do you want to talk to him?' And we started chatting."

"We were just putting a bunch of guys together to play this beach party — covers and stuff like that," Weiland chimed in. "And Dean is saying to me, 'Man, it would be cool if people could see us onstage together.' Not long after that, I was on the road, and Dean called me up. He said, 'Are you sitting down?' I was in Jersey somewhere, and he said he'd heard from our agent, and that some offers had come in for some festivals this summer. He said he'd been listening to our music and asked me what I thought about doing this."

And the reunion — which has been heavily rumored since late last year — couldn't have come at a better time. Perhaps in anticipation of STP's goings-on, Weiland's most recent band, Velvet Revolver, fired him last week, citing the singer's "increasingly erratic onstage behavior and personal problems" as the impetus for the break. The singer played his possible final show with the band last Tuesday in Amsterdam. And the DeLeos have been free since last May, when their other band, Army of Anyone, went on an indefinite hiatus, allowing frontman Richard Patrick to return to his first love, Filter.


"It's been five years we've been apart, and there's all these young kids who had older brothers who were STP fans, and now they're these little hipsters — 18, 19, 20 years old — and they're STP fans," Weiland said. "These kids come up to me all the time and tell me they loved the band, that they have all of our records. To be appreciated by a whole 'nother generation of fans, all of a sudden discovering you, it's kind of what I did with the classic bands I love — the ones that influenced me. The ultimate goal of this band was to leave a legacy, to have our songs make an impact, to be on the radio still 30 years down the road, and to be enjoyed by people, whether it's something that gives them a feeling of heartache, or something that they relate to because of a struggle they went through in their life. Music is just something that makes you feel, believe and be inspired — that was the goal always, to have our music out there and for it to continuously, over a period of years, inspire."

For STP, the process of healing has been ongoing since they first split back in 2003. According to Weiland, the separation wasn't smooth, and at one point, he and Dean DeLeo came to blows. But Kretz said it feels as though the band never threw in the towel, and that STP still "has a lot to contribute to music."

The band's reunion tour will get underway May 17, in Columbus, Ohio, and run through August 31 in Seattle. After the tour concludes, Weiland said it's back to the studio, to record STP's next LP.

"The whole record machine is f---ed up now, so we really want to get to a place of having some freedom, because we have a lot of leverage," he said. "We have sold almost 40 million records, and we're in a position of power. We want to be free agents, whether it's putting our records out ourselves, or doing some interesting, very creative deal with a nontraditional major record label. The system as it is now ... that formula does not work. We've seen it; we'll need to do things differently, do things wiser."

According to Robert DeLeo, the band has already started crafting material, and he anticipates they'll probably end up writing 100 songs before tracking the effort. The band wouldn't comment on the record beyond that.

I was wondering if someone could help me refresh my memory. I think I remember seeing the Derek Trucks band open for the Hip a few years ago. Can someone verify that this is ture ? Thanks

i need to backup and restore my msn messenger stuff (display pictures [got hundreds], smileys, etc).

i have searched google and i have found a few programs that back it up and restore it for you, however that is no use to me...

basically here is what happened: my windows crashed and refused to ever boot again. it was beyond repair. i installed a fresh copy of windows on a different hard drive partition so that i may go into the actual files of my broken windows drive and get whatever i needed.

so far i have successfully located the required .dll and other system files to restore things like firefox, azureus, outlook, games, etc...

basically, does anyone know which system files or database files (and where they are located) msn messenger 7.5 uses so i may copy them into my new windows install and have all my settings, pictures, etc restored?

thanks so much

Just saw the Hip will be headlining the Virgin Festival in Calgary in June. They get the Hip, Toronto gets Oasis..... cratch: oh well.

Didn't see this posted anywhere, thought I should share.

I have a friend named Adelson and there's some soft rock song I hear once in a while at work where it sounds like the guy is singing "Aaaaaaaadelson" in the chorus...

If anyone could help me figure out what song this is I would be really appreciative.

Thanks a lot!

If anyone has 2 extra, let me know please and ty.
