Random Ramblings

Vent on! It feels good. I come from a venting family. We were always well ventilated to the chagrin of our neighbors.

The Op is being a bitch today

Señor Tuna, please go into detail.

Thank you Slick my brother.

@toomuch- Well most clubs nowadays are playing rap music, so I don't know know what to tell you.

Juice- if you can't add anything to the discussion then don't post.

More Ramblings:
•it ain't cool to post private messages no matter who it is
•Shadowcat is the greatest of all time
•I fuck that pussy real good

Shit, what else......

Feel free to add random ramblings to this thread, or if you disagree with something I said speak up.

Pay attention to your damn turn signals people. I can't stand driving behind a moron who has a turn signal flashing and doesn't know it. Look at your dashboard, damn it.

To all the assholes who still write checks at the supermarket. Stop it!

That's it for now.

Damn this phone.

I grew up in the early days of heavy metal. Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Black Sabbath. And continued to enjoy the glam metal of the 80's with bands like Motley Crue and Poison. But haven't liked much since GnR.

I was in a club Saturday and they were playing some new genre of metal that was too loud and too fast. I thought to myself...I wish they were playing rap instead of this crap.

Listening to so much rap in clubs, I usually don't mind it at all.

" I don't want to call anyone out, but some of you need lessons on how to write a good review"

It may be that they are intellectually challenged or lazy or both & MORE. Who knows?

I'd prefer that clubs just play classic rock, but that won't happen very often. Otherwise I just tune out the music I don't care to hear. My biggest beef with club music is how FUCKING loud it is played. I HATE having to shout to have a private chat with a dancer.

Without a strict & iron handed Moderator it will be impossible to keep the membership on subject. [Strip Clubs]

Sex with any woman, Sex Worker or civilian has its costs in terms of $$$$$ &/or other non-monetary costs. Par for the course & life. s
Sex in clubs does have some advantages. BUT it is all based on individual perceptions & perspective.

"I'm tired of people criticizing us for going to strip clubs"

Who is criticizing you for clubbing?

"More Ramblings:
•it ain't cool to post private messages no matter who it is
•Shadowcat is the greatest of all time"

I agree with point #1 and DISAGREE with point #2.

Accusing others of being gay/homosexual seems to be a near universal practice on this forum - when these members disagree someone or state opinions that are disliked. TOO bad that this practice is taking place & the accusers can't be more adult & civil.

More later perhaps. ;) :)

I just wrote a dissertation that got erased as I checked a definition. Oh well. On the topic of music, has anyone heard the new Pearl Jam? It sounds like punk, not grunge. I like it but it doesn't sound like Pearl Jam.

Also, a lot of people hate R. Kelly but his last albums have been R&B smooth.

If you like clubs that have AA dancers then you're pretty likely to hear rap music. You can hope the girls will prefer some soft R&B, but don't hold your breath. I just see it as part of the price I pay to see my favorite ebony beauties. Way worth it!

Yepers....nothing but women bitching...let me know when the men get back

Godddamnit Tuna! I just butchered a side of beef! Is that manly enough for you?!?

LOL....no....buy that was funnymane

ranukam, who's been criticizing you for going to strip clubs?

@slick - the best Pearl Jam song of all time is more of a punk song: "state of love and trust"

"I just butchered a side of beef! Is that manly enough for you?!?"


Ha! Child's play. I just ATE a side of beef and still had room Jell-o

Viking...lol his mom......lol

grunge was fake no bands wanted to be grunge, it was mostly bands that were or wanted to be punk bands but learned how to play more than three chords and slowed down. Best of those bands was, is Soundgarden.

Also starting a thread to just bitch is pointless, but I like how Ranukam kissed some ass too at the same time. ha

Mostly agree, but I do appreciate it when a review says what kind and how loud the music is. For a while I was going out of my way to go to a club partly because it had better music than others in the area.

"My biggest beef with club music is how FUCKING loud it is played. I HATE having to shout to have a private chat with a dancer."

^^This.

"Oh well. On the topic of music, has anyone heard the new Pearl Jam?"

@Slick, I have high hopes for the album. I hear some of it is influenced by Pink Floyd.

"the best Pearl Jam song of all time is more of a punk song: "state of love and trust""

@duo, Not even in their top 20. "Jeremy" is currently their best.

Pearl Jam was better. Black.

@staxwell if you don't think that's in their top 20 you're high and you probably like Creed

I'm not generally high on rap, but I'm pretty much numb to it now, being every club plays it at some point. As much as I wish they would all play heavy metal, I don't offhand know the last great heavy metal band that came out. Probably Slipknot, but I'm not sure on that.

For my money, the best Pearl Jam song is "Do the Evolution".

@staxwell "Jeremy" come on dude just because it was one the radio and MTV the most doesn't make it there best song.

@Dougster not a fucking chance Soundgarden, Alice in Chains, then Maybe pearl jam. Pearl Jam most likely did sell the most albums.

Fact Rival Mob cover or Better Man better than original.

@myself this is gonna be pointless since we are arguing opinions

"If you like clubs that have AA dancers then you're pretty likely to hear rap music"

I've been in clubs that had few if any Black dancers on the day I visited & the DJ still played almost 100% rap. I think it is cumming down from management.

Random/useless gossip: One stripper I knew said she dated someone in Pearl Jam. Forget who it was though. Also heard Eddie Vedder was a real dick in the local night clubs to the point where he was even unwanted in many of them.

@Dougster, Black is my personal favorite.

@duo, LMFAO no...I don't lol. That was funny though.

@ime, not even because of the popularity, but I honestly think that was their strongest & most passionate performance as a whole, from the lead vocals, background vocals, ad-libs, the instruments, the build up, the final 45secs, everything. It's not even my favorite, but I think it was their best. Soundgarden is great, but their catalog doesn't touch Pearl Jam's. You could argue that Pearl Jam was never able to make a song as good as Soundgarden's best songs, but they weren't as consistent as Pearl Jam with making great albums. Plus, Vedder's voice hit harder than Cornell's, even with all Cornell's screaming he wasn't able to outshine (lol) Vedder on "Hunger Strike". Alice In Chains is in the same boat as Soundgarden, great but inconsistent.

Lol, Creed.

I have no idea who Pearl Jam is, so I can't add anything to that. I'm more of a Kendrick Lamar/J. Cole/Drake kind of guy.

@Alucard- When I said greatest of all time I was talking about him being a pioneer on TUSCL, but I guess technically I would have to say Founder is the greatest of all time.

@GoVikings- We all have people that know about our strip club hobby that tell us why are wasting time and money in the strip clubs. That's who I'm talking about.

@motor, dandydan and 3LeggedMan- I respect you guys. Rap is not your preferred type of music, but you don't whine and complain about them playing it in the strip clubs.

@ime- Don't tell me you're still mad I called your team a bunch of cheaters? Let that shit go man, it was nothing personal.

I got something else. I got a new promotion. I'll be getting paid 100K a year and I get to travel all over the place. I will be making it rain in a city near you! Like the Soulja Boy "Pretty Boy Swag" song goes, "I'm getting money ohhhhhh".

A "Drake kind of guy"??

All credibility out the window.

Make it rain near me. LOL - $20 bills!!

your from the Pacific Northwest and have no idea who Pearl Jam is? thats got to be a joke right

@ime- if it's not rap or R&B I wouldn't know.

@Jester- Drake is mad talented, he sings and raps (although he is just a average singer).

"J. Cole/Drake kind of guy."

Damn, ranukam. Damn...

Stax- I can kind of understand the Drake hate. But J. Cole comes wit it, his new album is fire, listen to the song "Let Nas Down" and tell me that ain't dope.

...how have you never heard of Pearl Jam?

Honestly, the problem with Drake isn't because he makes bad music (he's gotten better at putting songs together), it's because he lost his Y chromosome lol. When I heard Started From The Bottom, I thought he found it, then I heard Hold On We're Going Home and realized there was no remanence of Y chromosome left. J. Cole is Drake with less flavor & less calories...he's Diet Drake. His latest album was WAY better than his first, but he still didn't bring enough heat to keep me listening after the first week it came out. No I.D. made magic (as usual) with that "Let Nas Down" instrumental, but instead of lighting it on fire, J. Cole made an entire song about feeling salty because Nas didn't like his first single lol. And left Nas with no real choice but to respond like "Oh, you didn't let me down, you made me proud.". Then the Outkast & Tribe samples on the album are bitter-sweet for me. J. Cole hasn't impressed me since the "Simba" track. Kendrick on the other hand...I'm still listening to GKMC a year later; 10/10.

Pearl Jam - For my money Black wins hands down. I'll stop short of calling dissenters Creed lovers and I'm not sure how saying someone must be high is a bad thing when its a Pearl Jam discussion though. As far as top 20, I don't know it's aweful cluttered up vying for #2, Yellow Ledbetter/Better Man/Elderly Woman.../Indifference; I'm not sure I can get down to top 20. On the Better Man topic, that Rival Mob cover can't hold a candle to the original, and I'm not one of those jackasses who can't appreciate a cover. Also: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lZVrOtO25… :)

Music in clubs - I'm not a fan of bitching about type of music, but IMO its informative and have no problem with it being in the review. "those assholes play all rap" could well be "the music was mostly rap" and I'd probably read it the same. I won't avoid a club playing Rap, but I might chose a club with a preference for something else - all other things equal. Volume on the other hand - I will avoid the fuck out of a club if the music is enough too loud. I've gone to Tootsies over Scarletts many nights for that very reason.

Lights in clubs (tangential to music) - Along the same lines as music, shit lighting is fucking annoying too. The SR here is so dark I seriously couldn't tell which dancer was white and which was black; and they were on the fucking stage. At the same time, those jackasses manage to shine spotlights into approximately 50% of the seats at least once a song. How fucking hard is it to dimly light the entire club, then put some spotlights on the stage?

Fucking strippers for free - all depends on how you define free and impossible. Having sex without a direct exchange of cash for services, very possible and I'd venture to say not nearly as rare as we often imply here. Not spending a dime to get laid, probably more rare than fucking a stripper without quid pro quo. I have no doubt that I've spent more dollars in pursuit of civilian pussy than stripper. I've also paid more in non financial terms for civi sex.

Pearl Jam? Is that something like toe jam? :)

From my review for Pleasers in Atlanta "The best thing for this club that I can mention is the music. Being a black club I would have expected a lot of rap/hip hop but it was almost all R & B."

It's definitely possible to fuck strippers without ever spending a dime. In fact, it helps if you don't.

I don't see a need for every topic to be about strip clubs. If no one comments, it might just get ignored. If others post, they must be interested in the topic. I skip several topics on here and one more won't bother me.

My rant should be that the ignore feature should be updated to ignore any threads started by someone you have on ignore or the first post if possible.

I thought pearl jam was more like navel jelly.

Stax- I was very disappointed in J. Cole's 1st album, and I didn't love the second album when I first heard it, but I kept listening to it and I grew to love the second album. That boy J. Cole spits. Miss America is another banging track.

I'm not sure about Drake's third album yet, right now I like the second album better. Pound Cake is by far the best song on his new album.

I'm also really digging Wale right now.

Wow

I bought Born Sinner when it first came out (go deluxe or go home) and it wasn't as amazing as it was hyped to be. Let Nas down was corny as shit. I felt like I just heard the ramblings of a 12 year old. Power trip was just annoying along with crooked smile. Personally the album was all over the place. Villuminate wasn't as hot as it was hyped to be either. Probably the best song on that album was Mo' Money...and that's an interlude...with Runaway a close second. Drake sucks no question.

When it comes to music in the club, if it isn't a black oriented club, I don't hear much rap. Just a helluva lot of house music and a few rock and rap inbetween. But once I got a girl within my attention, the msuic is kind of lost on my ears. I really got to strain just to make sure I hear it and don't get a ROB if need be.

Who is Pearl Jam

I ain't gonna pull a KRS-One and shit on the new hip hop artists. That being said, when you come up during the Deathrow Era, nothing else is the same. It's like the stories my uncles told me about Monterey & Altamont-You had to be there to truly experience it. Walking into a house party, with the Dogg Pound spitting "If we all..", puffing on a spliff while a big booty Hoodrat pushes that ass up on you, good, Goddamn! The mid-nineties were thugged the fuck out.

Eddie Van Halen

David Lee Roth or Sammy Hagar?

Stax my friend... Yellow Ledbetter down at #9. All I can say is REALLY?

Left "Hunger Strike" off the list too.

Coming from decades of Stones,Heads,Zep,Dead,I was odd man out when I brought home Run,D,Mc's Rockbox in the early 80's,it opened my ears.Then I heard N.W.A..Any group that is questioned by the Senate is okay by me.

Ranukam,Pearl Jam is that weekend you spent with Miz Bailey.

I'm a huge fan of King Oliver, and although I like some of that experimental stuff that Louis Armstrong has been putting out, I can't stand that modern crap from the Basie band. It all sounds the same to me.

The Count was the shit.Red Bank NJ y'all.

I'm more of a Cab Calloway fan myself.

Hunger Strike was by Temple of the Dog which was a like a Seattle Supergroup mostly Pearl Jam, Mother Love bone guys on instruments Cornell on Vocals. Vedder was more co/backing vocals on Hunger Strike and he might be on another song or two on the album. Anyone who is a fan of that era should get a copy of the CD. Say Hello to Heaven is a great song.

I have heard of Pearl Jam. If that is a music group that gets played in SCs I may have even heard their songs. But I assure you I wasn't listening. I don't care for rap, but I can usually tune it out. I'm actually experienced at tuning out music since I don't follow the "popular" artists or crazes.

I wasn't impressed with the Elvis craze and that group from England named after some kind of bug didn't sound good to me (not even after they were better known than Jesus). If you ever heard Elvis singing gospel with the Jordanairs you would also know for certain that Elvis wasted his talent on Rock and Roll!

OTOH I enjoyed the Commodores, ELO, Moody Blues and early Stones. Hendrix was still experimenting when he died, I would have loved to hear the music he could have made in his 40's.

Pear fuckin jam !

Toejam and earl

@ranukam, NWTS is a clean concise album, it just flows better than anything he's ever done, but there aren't any songs on it better than "Lord Knows" or "The Ride" from Take Care. Drake can REALLY rap when he wants to, he just doesn't do it often enough to be taken seriously as a rapper.

It's been a mediocre year for hip-hop to me. The best projects were underground. Then Pusha T came out with his solo album on Tuesday...he gets my vote for rap album of the year.

@Slick, if you compare today's stuff to yesterday's stuff, you're always gonna be disappointed. I guess it's like that with every genre when you think about it. But this is a generation heavily influenced by Kanye West and the emotional vulnerability he showed on 808's & Heartbreaks (the piece of shit it was). There's no room for rugged artist in mainstream rap. You might wanna check out Pusha T's new album if you haven't already; "Numbers On The Board" & "NOSEtalgia" are songs you commit felonies to.

@Doug, I wasn't even counting collaborations & Vedder side projects; that's another list. "Hunger Strike" & "Say Hello to Heaven" are in my top 100 songs of all time tho.

@zip, That's top 10 lol, that's good. I have 67 Pearl Jam songs on my iPhone right now, that's #9 out of 67.

"Hendrix was still experimenting when he died, I would have loved to hear the music he could have made in his 40's."

^^^THIS!

I totally forgot about Pearl Jam live on Dave Lettermen doing Bob Dylan's "Masters of War". Good shit.
