Guy Info Needed on the Greening of Mackay Choosing Dates? RE: Other Faves, and a New Thread ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ROCK!!!!! <> ROCK!!!!! <> ROCK!!!!! <> ROCK!!!!! <> ROCK!!!!! <> ROCK!!!!! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Short one today, folks. It's a holiday here in the US, and most people are too busy doing whatever they do on Labor Day. I myself refuse to get in a car on this holiday, so here I am typing this up. Everyday is a holiday where I live anyway. About those new dates shown above, I'll let you know as soon as I find out more. They were thrown out to me as part of a private conversation which had nothing to do with tour dates, and I didn't pursue the lead. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ROCK!!!!! <> ROCK!!!!! <> ROCK!!!!! <> ROCK!!!!! <> ROCK!!!!! <> ROCK!!!!! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ hello everyone :) theres a lot of things being said on the list about this guy vs. victor thing. i dont know either of them personally, but all this stuff being said about guy really isnt fair. on may 3rd they had a show in nj at this place called the birch hill (were any of you there?). after the show i met the boys. and they were all cool. brian seemed a bit off in wonderland or something and wasnt talking much. understandable. gordon was cool too, but guy i think was the nicest out of all of them. guy and i were talking for a good 15 minutes, and with screaming girls around and a bus waiting and being tired after a show (which they played wonderfully) i think that was so nice. and he remembered the ring i gave them with bugs in it the november before that at the stone pony show in nj. (that was november 22, was anyone at that one?) he seems like such a nice person that i really dont think its fair that people so bluntly make fun of his teeth and things like that. personal preference on drumming skills though is totally different though. hmm, just wanted to add something in guys defense :) bye ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ROCK!!!!! <> ROCK!!!!! <> ROCK!!!!! <> ROCK!!!!! <> ROCK!!!!! <> ROCK!!!!! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In a message dated 8/29/97 2:32:49 PM, you wrote: <> note : Jon Bohnam of Led Zeppelin played solo's with his hands, and I know many old jazz drummers did too.
