Why?

I started with nothing - and I've still got most of it left.
Did you know that the word "gullible" is not in any dictionary?

Don't get me started on Mars bars.
if you ate one recently it would have to be pretty stale as they stopped making them some time ago :wink:
they have avoided my picketing their national HQs by releasing the Snickers w/almonds.
a wise choice on their part don't you think? 8)

Ahh now I get it.. Its a band. Not really my style but I liked "L'Via L'Viaq..." The vocals remind me a little of Whitesnake at times.. but the music and style seems really unique to me.

Ahh and Snickers w/Almonds

My only guess is that jason brann likes the song - "Francis the mute" by the band - The Mars Volta

I hope we didn't scare him off by joking around :(

"Drunkship Of Lanterns" had some nice playing and effects.

I thought he meant the films popular during the WWII era -- Francis the Mule. (That's Francis the talking mule, by the way, so he can't have been mute. I've discovered an apparent contradiction in the original post). I WIN! (oops, wrong thread).

I saw the mars volta live...they played before system of a down. They were terrible IMO. The lead singer sure can dance like a meth head though when he's screaming into the mic. Calling them terrible may be unfair, but they sound terrible because of the way they set up their levels...the volume on the lead vocalists mic was about twice as loud as any of the instruments.

Guitarin' isn't a job, so don't make it one.
