Happy birthday Mr. Hawkins!
It's awesome that your grandma got you a Killswitch Engage CD, my grandma's nowhere near that cool... she just says the same story multiple times in 15 minutes.
... why do I call you Mr. Hawkins... oh well.
Gwil - Nice sig, that movie rocks.

James is still in. The last person to leave was Danny Lohner, which was just before Thirteenth Step was finished.

Cool. He's a great guitarist that can't sing for crap (and that's even compared to a screeching Billy Corgan) so I'm glad he's not drifting back into a piss-poor solo career.

I was just thinking, what makes you a fan of a band/artist? How many of thier gigs you have been to, how many of thier albums you have? Or just that you like thier music a lot.

Well, technically, 'Fan' is short for Fanatic, which would almost imply that the first 2 were correct. Remember, a part of fanaticism is an element of unreasoned enthusiasm. So, just showing up at some concert 'just because' would make you a fan in the literal sense.

Yeah, a fan usually implies you like their music though.. for instance,
i've seen The Cooper Temple Clause 3 times, as I cited (perhaps this
inspired $loths post?) - but I wouldnt class myself as being massively
enthusiastic for them - it just so happens I've seen them once where it
was their gig, and the other two times they were on the
Reading/Glastonbury '03 lineups.

Also theres a lot to be said for people who like and follow a
band/artist, but are willing to hold back on buying all the albums.
I like a lot of artists, but I don't like ALL their material. That would just be silly.

I think I saw them on Conan once. Pretty good, I think; it was a year or two back.

Just got The Eighties Matchbox B-Line Disaster's new album, "The Royal
Society". Puts pretty much all rock albums released post-millenium to
shame. Voodoo/stoner/desert rock, with a touch of pure punk adrenaline.
I remember seeing the description "some seriously heavy voodoo s**t"
somewhere, which is pretty much spot on. If you like anything involving
Queens Of The Stone Age, The Birthday Party (hell, Nick Cave in
general), The Stooges, The Stone Roses, Captain Beefheart...hell, if
you're into rock music, pick it up. This is miles away from their insane, zombie-fueled debut album.
