They won't be broken forever. I dropped a link into it as well too, you dunce.

Are you that old? I don't care if I'm young I'm jealous as ****. Of course I'm gonna go see Anthrax and Death Angel open for Slayer in a couple months. So I guess I'm gonna be alright. Just so long as Joey is still in Anthrax.

I like some of the John Bush stuff, but if I'm gonna pay money to see Anthrax they better have their second singer. Or their first. Mostly for the novelty factor, but I would also dig hearing the band play their first album.

Look, I'm not saying you're a bad mod, all I'm saying is that you should kill yourself and mail me your severed head. I realize this will be logistically difficult, but just make it happen.

That could actually be possible. I'd have to hang upside down and rig a buzz saw horizontally to cut off my head. Gravity will pull my head down to a waiting cardboard box lined with plastic wrap being held in the air by two support beams with clamps. The impact will dislodge the cardboard box and send it toward the ground. Hopefully the box will not turn in the air and when it impacts with the ground the flaps should have enough inertia to close themselves. I'd have to pre-tape the flaps so that when they close they adhere to each other.

The box will be pre-stamped and if all goes according to plan I should be able to mail you my severed head all by myself...

...just as long as you know, the UPS guy doesn't notice the headless body hanging by it's feet 20 feet above a mostly red and bloody cardboard box.

Knew of Rick Derringer from his work with Edgar Winter (remember Frankenstein and Free Ride?).

Saw Aerosmith at their most wasted and terrible peak in the mid to late 70s and Rick's solo band opened. They tore the roof off of the old Boston Garden.

Music and energy was killer but the thing that sticks out is at one point Rick and the other guitarist stood on each side of the stage and in perfect timing, heaved their guitars to each other and then didn't miss a beat in the song.

Seeing Steven Tyler barely able to stand or keep his eyes open for the next 45 minutes paled in comparison.

The box could be sitting on a conveyor belt leading to your front door set to a timer. You'd have to install a doggy door to make sure the box gets outside, but I imagine that will be the easy part.
