    Heehee, why am I not surprised? We do like a lot of the same stuff. Kinda nice sounding little record too. I'm not really a big Tortoise fan, but I do like a lot of stuff that John McEntire works on.

    Not one record, but the entire catalog of Hanoi Rocks. I guarantee I've listened to more Hanoi Rocks than anyone else in this forum. Before the internets, Hanoi Rocks was number one on my list when going to record shows. The internet kind of obviated all that. It is the only band that I've ever collected. $50 for a picture disk? Okay. $30 for a VHS bootleg? Okay. Cassette bootleg? Okay. I've worn out cassettes and LPs. I've re-bought CDs that were scratched to hell. And I still don't think I've ever met anyone in real life who didn't consider Hanoi Rocks more than a footnote in rock and roll, or worse yet, the band that had that guy that Vince Neil killed.

    I got into them after they broke up when Axl Rose re-issued their studio records on Uzi Suicide. After 22 years, I still don't get tired of those records. I still listen to them in their entirety at least every two months. One of them is in my car changer almost all the time.

    I still remember hearing them for the fist time. It was the first track on their first record, and I was hooked just by the opening guitar riffs.

    ...just on the evidence you've presented they won't take action on this claim. They're pretty sure that not only have you listened to more Hanoi Rocks than anyone on this forum but probably listened to more Hanoi Rocks than any of the surviving members of Hanoi Rocks too.

    I didn't set out to get hooked on a semi-obsure, probably terrible, definately sloppy sleaz/trash band.... It just kind of happened. I ams what I ams. I also guarantee I listen to way more ICP and acid rap than anyone else here.

    ...Roll it up, take a hit and then pass it ...That's how we do it when we roll down Gratiot .

    We used to drive down Gratiot and throw pennies at hookers.

    ...girls had you thrown dollars. Just sayin'...
    I call my bathroom Jim instead of John so I can tell people that I go to the Jim first thing every morning.

    If you say the word 'gullible' very slowly it sounds just like oranges.
