[Matthew 10:16]

Ok guys. We got Hollywood, THE Road Warriors, & Bullit. :cool: Who's next 4 a nickname? BTW who R some famous Bass guitarists that we can kick around 4 Mark's nickname?

[STL-Scott]

Phil Collins

Peter Gabriel

Wait, neither of these guys have hair :eek:

He reminds me a bit of Ozzy Osborne with the glasses and all of that crazy hair (I'm jealous)!

Well, Mark is a Black Sabbath fan, so I would suggest "Geezer" in reverence to Geezer Butler, Black Sabbath's bassist. ;)

[Kerry & Kathy]

How about "Fender"...in respect to the creator of the first mass produced Electric Bass Guitar...Leo Fender....?

So far I like "Geezer" best. How bout these: "Fuzzy", like Fuzz from Distured; "Budha" like Bill "The Budha" Dickens; Mark "the Duck" Earls; "Snakepusher" like "Squarepusher" Tom Jenkinson; "Funkylicks" like "Funkychops" Jim Lee; "Foghair" like Foghat; "Motley Crew" like Motley Crue or just Motley; or "Hairzilla" like Gorzillaz. I like Duck, Fuzzy & Hairzilla (zilla 4 short). :eek: Weigh in guys. Vote 4 Mark's nickname. Other ideas? :p

Do you accept UR annointing as Geezer/Geez? :cool: BTW I think Mark just wants to be compared to the famous sexual exploits Gene. a/k/a THE Tongue. BTW II Hey Chuck U could b next in the nickname game. R U ready?

[6stringcobra]

We haven't seen you in makeup yet, so we can't officially annoint you "Gene"....I feel a Spinal Tap moment coming.......

The numbers all go to eleven. Look, right across the board, eleven, eleven, eleven and...
Marty DiBergi: Oh, I see. And most amps go up to ten?
Nigel Tufnel: Exactly.
Marty DiBergi: Does that mean it's louder? Is it any louder?
Nigel Tufnel: Well, it's one louder, isn't it? It's not ten. You see, most blokes, you know, will be playing at ten. You're on ten here, all the way up, all the way up, all the way up, you're on ten on your guitar. Where can you go from there? Where?
Marty DiBergi: I don't know.
Nigel Tufnel: Nowhere. Exactly. What we do is, if we need that extra push over the cliff, you know what we do?
Marty DiBergi: Put it up to eleven.
Nigel Tufnel: Eleven. Exactly. One louder.
Marty DiBergi: Why don't you just make ten louder and make ten be the top number and make that a little louder?
Nigel Tufnel: [pause] These go to eleven.

WELCOME GEEZER!!!!

Forgive me, but here's another one ..........

Do you feel that playing rock 'n' roll music keeps you a child? That is, keeps you in a state of arrested development?
Derek Smalls: No. No. No. I feel it's like, it's more like going, going to a, a national park or something. And there's, you know, they preserve the moose. And that's, that's my childhood up there on stage. That moose, you know.
Marty DiBergi: So when you're playing you feel like a preserved moose on stage?
Derek Smalls: Yeah.

Nigel Tufnel: We've got Armadillos in our trousers. It's really quite frightening.

[Matthew 10:16]

Now that's an interesting thought. :eek: Is that kinda like the tubesnake boogie? OK ZZ Top I'm sorry bout that one. & don't get any ideas 4 nicknames w/that tubesnake boogie thing. :eek:
