So far this is my favorite Masters live thread. Was over everything Kelce family adjacent about 2 minutes in to their rocket to fame.

He would wait until episode 7 or so to cast himself as the jacked alpha leader of the alien race that convinces the hottest human female to fall for him and bang her.

Yeh, drove through it yesterday. There was no real issues on 165 until i hit Sterlington at the Frenchmans Bend intersection, and it was a nightmare. Saw this post shortly after i came through, and Im not mad at it. Its a survival out there right now for sure, but think they were just trying to dissuade the folks going to the gas station to get chips and a coke….

re: Is selling unhealthy fast food morally different than selling cigarettes?

You’re overthinking it here OP.

A body needs food (even if not optimally healthy) to survive. A body does not need cigarettes.

It's a win-win scenario. Either you beat the Falcons or you get a top-10 draft pick. Both outcomes are good.

No, Mark Chesnutt. Apologies for confusion. Not as big as Alabama, but still a cool check mark to put on my resume either way.

Kiss was before my time, but because my parents listened to all the good music, the first song I ever learned on guitar was "Detroit Rock City"...and it was because Ace was the coolest guy on the planet. My first guitar hero. Damn.

My band opened for him around a year ago, and while he was extremely nice and polite, in no way was he at a performance level...don't blame anyone for getting money how they can, but it was a tough watch.

jokes aside, 12 Stones and Skillet are top notch (even though I'm not as big into Skillet)

I'll be the first to crack open the digital can.

I am running a Quad Cortex and it covers 95% of my needs. I also have a Walrus Audio Fable, Matthews Effects Technician, and Eventide H9 Max in the FX loop, which can cover any remaining 5% when needed.

I do miss the thrill of chasing new pedals and constructing a pedalboard and trying "new" stuff, but for gigging....it can't be beat.

Also, I'm going to make a broad-brush generalization here that is my opinion...and my opinion only, but I think musicians generally become shittier song writers as they get older. Maybe "shittier" is the wrong term, but I don't think the material is as interesting as it is when they are younger. Maybe a new Creed album would be good, but I doubt it would be as good as their first 3 albums, and I certainly wouldn't want to attend a live show that prioritized marketing the new stuff over their old hits.

This statement right here is exactly why Tremonti will never truly be overrated in anything. He's 30+ years into this gig and still putting out great tunes with multiple projects. Do they all have the nostalgia hit of "Higher" or "One Last Breath"? No. But...in many cases, he is putting out better songs now than his early career....which is, to quoted posters point, extremely rare.
