  5. Even though I don't consider AC/DC metal, I like that you're showing some love for the vastly underrated Fly On The Wall! Yeah Fly on the Wall is a solid album. Flick of a Switch is even better! You wankers are driving me nuts tonight!! "Fly On The Wall" sucks! "SINK THE PINK!" PURE CRAP! Pat! You have been telling me how much you love "Flick Of The Bitch" for years! I hate it! Brian Johnson can't even wear Bon Scott's jock strap! There is no comparison! BON RULES BRIAN IS A STOOL!

  6. So Robert can still sing. Big deal. How can anyone think that Zeppelin could write and produce relavent music at this point in their lives is beyond me. Like I said earlier, Page will be 70 next year. My Dad is a just a little older, and everyone celebrates when the man has a significant bowel movement. Just like Goob said...Zeppelin is way past their experation date.

  9. Fascinating. —Spock http://www.scienceworldreport.com/articles/5073/20130220/why-women-talk-more-men-language-protein.htm Why Women Talk More Than Men: Language Protein Uncovered Catherine Griffin First Posted: Feb 20, 2013 09:14 AM EST http://images.scienceworldreport.com/data/images/full/3699/lips.jpg?w=680 (Photo : Flickr) There's a biological explanation for the reason why women talk more than men. Scientists have discovered a protein that's found in higher concentrations in the brains of women. You know all the times that men complain about women talking too much? Apparently there's a biological explanation for the reason why women are chattier than men. Scientists have discovered that women possess higher levels of a "language protein" in their brains, which could explain why females are so talkative. Previous research has shown that women talk almost three times as much as men. In fact, an average woman notches up 20,000 words in a day, which is about 13,000 more than the average man. In addition, women generally speak more quickly and devote more brainpower to speaking. Yet before now, researchers haven't been able to biologically explain why this is the case.

New findings conducted by researchers at the University of Maryland School of Medicine and published in The Journal of Neuroscience show that a certain protein may be the culprit. In 2001, a gene called FOXP2 appeared to be essential for the production of speech. In order to test this protein, the team, led by J. Michael Bowers and Margaret McCarthy, looked at young rat pups. These animals emit cries in the ultrasonic range when separated from their mothers. The team recorded the cries over five minutes in groups of 4-day-old male and female rats that had been separated from their mothers. They found that male pups had up to twice as much of the protein FOXP2 in regions of the brain known to be involved in vocalization—perhaps an unsurprising finding since researchers noted that males made twice as many cries as females. Next, the researchers wanted to test their findings in humans. They conducted a small study on human children aged four to five years who had died in accidents less than 24 hours previously. They then analyzed the amount of FOXP2 protein in the brains of these children. In the end, the researchers found 30 percent more FOXP2 protein in the brains of the girls. The research shows that the protein, FOXP2, is a key molecule for communication in mammals. In fact, it could allow researchers to better understand other species that may or may not possess the protein, such as Neanderthals. With this new biological link, scientists could potentially trace back the evolutionary origin of speech. That said, the research also gives a reason for why women tend to be better at small talk.

  16. Some people are only happy when they're miserable. Announce the pre-sales too early and brokers gobble up tickets like crazy. Announce the pre-sales too late and people whine about the lack of notice. There is no possible way to make everybody happy.. they're just trying to do their best to at least give the fans a CHANCE at beating the brokers.

  20. The only ones I don't have are the Pantera and Metallica. I never did understand the fuss about Metallica and Pantera never really grabbed me either... Pantera waved the flag for Metal during that early to mid 90s alternative explosion. Even though Metal never went away, by 1990 bands like Bullet Boys were considered Metal, and Pantera gave the scene a good kick in the ass, plus they had a sort of hardcore vibe with Phil at the mic. Metallica defined 80s thrash, wether you like them or not, they jump started a whole scene. And those first 4 albums rock.

  21. I got it a LOT tougher than you. I gotta drive TEN minutes to catch a bus for a 10 minute ride into the venue. Whew!! I love when they play Sleep Country Amphitheater!! That bus service is great. I come down from Vancouver BC and stay at one of the motels across the street from where you catch the bus. I can have a few bevvies before and at the concert without worrying, and you get to meet some great fans on the bus. plus no traffic hassles after the show. Only way to go. God I hate waiting 5+ months after the purchase of the tix for show day to finally arrive.

  23. Same here. I am still in disbelief. So hard to wrap my head around. How do you skip over one of the largest states? lol I'm hoping they get enough folks from Cailf bugging them that they add 2-3 shows after KC. I even emailed sro-anthem@sro-anthem.com and made a formal request. I was very respectful but requested they reconsider skipping Cailfornia. Ahh...ya never know. :)

  25. I live in the northwest and the only option for me is seeing them at Key Arena in Tacoma Washington (even though the list says it's Seattle). Last time they did something like this, where they played in "Seattle" only, their second leg included Portland Oregon. Does anyone know if they have mentioned a second US tour leg that would include more cities?? Thanks in advance!

  29. You guys got it ROUGH. All I have to do is catch a flight halfway across the country to Seattle, rent a car. Drive to Vancouver, catch a show. Drive to Portland, catch another show. Drive back to Seattle, catch a flight halfway across the country again and drive home from the airport. I feel bad for youz guyz!

  30. I hadn`t even heard of this `musictoday`until yesterday, never used them before. Hopefully they are legit because you guys talked about it, I`m surprised they don`t email a receipt like ticketmaster does. It also drive me nuts that dates are announced and the first pre sales start a few hours later. This isn`t enough time to try and ask any of your friends if they want to come, or arrange further distance travel if you have to.

  33. Made me think of this: Lawyer: Your Honor, even though I've proven my client's innocence, I'd still like to call Freddy Quimby to the stand. So that we can all bask in his gentle decency. Mr. Quimby, did you assault Mr. LaCoste? Freddy: Of course not. I love each and every thing on God's green earth. Lawyer: Therefore, you would never lose your temper over something as trivial as the pronunciation of "chowder". Freddy: That's "chowdah"! Chowdah! I'll kill you! I'll kill all of you, especially those of you in the jury! Lawyer: Wow, that didn't go well. The defense rests. Principal Skinner: I know you can read my thoughts, Bart. Just remember, if I find out you cut class, your ass is mine. Yes, you heard me. I think words I would never say. Homer: I know you can read my thoughts, Bart. Meow-Meow-Meow-Meow-Meow-Meow-Meow-Meow-Meow...

  35. It is frustrating to not really know whats up with so many different options/pre-sales ect. They prey on the excitement of the fans and offer no design or consistancy. The only sure choice for something close offers the most ridiculous of all, pay the most and sit for months not knowing where you will sit? Sucker! Of course we want to get in on the first offers, but then there are like 5 more in the coming days? The scary part is they have no reason to stop, we buy right in because there is no choice, and we love the band. We get worked over and inevitability seem to always be sitting next to some annoying, facebook addicted, care less about the show couple that brags "Oh,we just picked these up on Ticketmaster yesterday!"

  38. Why do you call them onions? They don't make people cry, do they? remember TBR lives off the grid....probably lacks running water...I'm sure they can get quite pungent. Spanish onions... and they only make people cry when they go swinging out of control and hit people in the chops... fat lips, bruises... all of it. It's actually kind of embarrassing on that "always-uncomfortable" first date.

  41. This morning, won $2 on lottery scratch off ticket that I received for Valentines Day from one of my Staff. then - Walking back to work from picking up my lunch just now, I noticed a piece of paper smushed up in a snow curb. I did a double take, and bent down and picked it up and it was a filthy scrunched up $10 bill. I just earned my lunch money back. This is the kind of day I like :sundog:

  42. Spending the morning with my youngest in his pre-school class, helping the little ones decorate cupcakes, make a special Valentine's present and distributing their Valentine's Day cards. Too cute. Especially watching them eat their cupcakes. Pre-school kids are so adorable. I'm not one for the holiday but didn't mind staying up until 11pm last night making the Valentine's Day cards for both boys classrooms. Plus, just when I was smack in the middle of making cards, my oldest wandered downstairs because he couldn't sleep so I had a little buddy helping me. He drew some great hearts on paper for me. :)
