I originally started out trying to color him in but my patience only runs so thin.
From: Jackzilla Entered on: February 11, 2008 1:57 PM
Pretty cool, NickNick! But, I feel I must clarify the origin of my moniker.  It was not inspired by Godzilla, but rather "Bootzilla" a.k.a. Bootsy Collins of James Brown/Parliament-Funkadelic/Bootsy's Rubber Band fame! So, get back to the drawing board and do me up as a 70's Funk Freak!
From: NickNick Entered on: February 11, 2008 2:15 PM
You get what you get.  I don't do 70's..... besides don't you have a bunch of pictures of yourself in 70's funk that you can send me as a reference.  I know you had a pair of rhinestone bell bottoms.  All you boys did.

Is it me, or is Zilla looking a little negro in the drawing?
From: Bunky Entered on: February 11, 2008 8:16 PM
Thank you. While Nick did a nice job on the drawing, I was thinking Zilla looks more like TitoZilla or JermaineZilla, than JackZilla. Maybe we can just call him BlackZilla now....
From: Ross Entered on: February 11, 2008 8:34 PM
JermaineZilla!  Hahahahahahhahaa!
From: BigFatty Entered on: February 12, 2008 3:24 PM
I like that his fro connects to his eyebrows.  You should have him holding onto a hotdog or Hot Pocket (TM).  So how bored are you that you are sitting around drawing pics of Zilla?  And Zilla... Really?  We might need to put the stigma of the man-crush on you. I'd be drawing up some pics of Pamela Anderson to take home for a little 'Me Time'.
From: Jackzilla Entered on: February 12, 2008 3:29 PM
Fatty - Really what?  Bootsy is sweet!  Even if he wasn't badass on the bass, his voice cracks me up.  And I want a pair of star-glasses.
From: Bunky Entered on: February 12, 2008 3:37 PM
Nick, I think it was sweet of you to draw the picture. F the Fats! A discussion about sweet bass players? I am up for that one. I will start with Les Claypool and work down my list...
From: Jackzilla Entered on: February 12, 2008 3:45 PM
I love me some funk bass!  Besides Bootsy there's Larry Graham (of Sly & The Family Stone, who I've met and shook hands with) and of course Prince is sweet on bass (and guitar, and keyboards, ...).  Flea of Red Hot Chili Peppers is no slouch either.
From: Bunky Entered on: February 12, 2008 5:57 PM
Flea is super sweet as well. I do have to give a shout out to Dirk Lance, the original bass player for Incubus (before they decided to suck and get the guitar player from the Roots to play bass). Tool has had a couple of bass players, both of which are of the sweet status as well. No one can rock heels while playing a bass like Prince!

Bunky said:   Tool has had a couple of bass players, both of which are of the sweet status as well. Swerb would you be loving you for this if he ever showed his face around here anymore...
From: Bunky Entered on: February 12, 2008 8:09 PM
Justin Chancellor is the name of the bass player for Tool now. Going off of memory, I think Paul D'Amour left after Undertow... Is Swerb a fan of Tool, or would he just mock me for listening to them. I have actually seen them in concert 3 times. Maynard is a musical genius in my opinion. Slightly disturbed and demented, but incredibly gifted. My iPod has an interesting mix of music on it. Yes, it does include Prince and Pearl Jam among many others. I am still in shock that Zilla does not own one.
From: Ross Entered on: February 12, 2008 8:41 PM
Tool is Swerb's favorite band.  I'm a big fan too, but Swerb dwarfs most mortals in his fandom.  I've only seen them once live, but he's seen them many times.  I'm sure he could talk anyone's ear off about them. Also, Swerb hasn't made the leap to mp3s either.  He has a couple thousand CDs lining the walls of his office, he might as well be listening to LPs, the damn luddite.
From: Bunky Entered on: February 13, 2008 12:28 PM
Maybe Swerb will come back some day... After all, the Bells did return. Maybe a Tool discussion will draw him back.  I am confused how one can NOT own an iPod.... Now Fatty, I don't think this drawing warrants the "man crush" stigma. I mean, you act as if he was crank gawking or something. It's not as if Nick Nick was carrying a photo of another man's crank in his wallet or anything....
From: Radmobile Entered on: February 13, 2008 12:35 PM
Bunky - You have to understand, Jack's lifestyle would never require him to have a cell-phone or an iPod.  His time is divided 95% between home and Rookies.  When he's away from those places he's with people who have cellphones.  He doesn't really do any activities that make a ipod worth using for him.  He has plenty of music that is in the digital form though, I forget the last total but it was obsene.
From: Bunky Entered on: February 13, 2008 12:42 PM
So basically, Jack's life is the reality version of the Truman Show? Well, he could listen to the IPod while at Rookies...My husband has a stereo at his pharmacy that the IPod slips right into! We have one in our garage as well... I listen to my IPod everywhere! Granted, I drive 3,000 - 4,000 miles any given month for work.... I do believe he and Bells were starting cardio to get back into F'ing shape. I use my IPod at the gym as well....
From: Radmobile Entered on: February 13, 2008 12:55 PM
Yeah Jack drives maybe 6 miles on an average day.  Plus I'm not sure Jack's ready to treat his customers to classic Prince just yet.  But yes, Jack's life basically is the Truman show without the cameras.
From: Bunky Entered on: February 13, 2008 1:08 PM
You wouldn't want to walk into Rookies with Jack singing and dirty dancing to Erotic City or Head?

I enjoy talking about Jack in the 3rd person as if he is not on this website...
From: BigFatty Entered on: February 13, 2008 1:24 PM
Radmobile said: Yeah Jack drives maybe 6 miles on an average day.  That is quite the exaggeration there Rad.  Lets not go overboard.  In reality, Jack MAYBE drives 6 miles a week. BTW.... whats an iPod?  Is it like an iMac??

It's not as if Nick Nick was carrying a photo of another man's crank in his wallet or anything.... I don't know....  I think NickNick drew a photo realistic version of Zilla's crotch here... all from memory.  This is what is scary.
From: NickNick Entered on: February 13, 2008 1:34 PM
You're right.  I actually had Zilla come over and model said crotch for me.  All though he did require that I cover his face with a cloth during the modeling session out of modesty.
From: Bunky Entered on: February 13, 2008 2:43 PM
Fatty, didn't you sport a Bone crank photo in your wallet or money clip for awhile? I thought you and Bells had matching prints...
From: BigFatty Entered on: February 13, 2008 3:19 PM
Good lord things get exaggerated!  Johnny had a heart-shaped locket and I held the key.  It was a matching, engraved piece, set with rhinestones, that we bought together at a drug store.  Inside, we kept a picture of Bone's crank, a lock of his hair, and a toe nail clipping from his house.  Its not like we had anything questionable or anything. Sheesh!  This is what friends keep to remember old buddies.  You should read what Zilla has in his diary about Bone... and Rad has "Bone's Love Hole" tattooed around his anus. Don't judge me People!
From: Bunky Entered on: February 13, 2008 5:29 PM
Someone is a little cranky about the crank!

Bunky said: Maybe Swerb will come back some day... After all, the Bells did return. Maybe a Tool discussion will draw him back. I am confused how one can NOT own an iPod....   I have seen Tool... at least 10 times. I've lost track. And while Justin Chancellor is a terrific bassist, he isn't the best. That would be Geezer Butler of Black Sabbath, bitches! As for why I don't own an iPod... well, I don't want to face the daunting task of ripping 3,000 CDs to MP3. Plus, my CD collection looks fucking sweet in my office!
From: Bunky Entered on: February 14, 2008 4:04 PM
Geezer Butler? I am sure there are many Led Zeppelin (John Paul Jones) or Rush (Geddy Lee), or Who (John Entwhistle) fans that would argue this one with you Swerb. So I have to ask, how are your cd's arranged in your office? Random? By Genre?
From: Swerb Entered on: February 14, 2008 10:19 PM
Entirely, painstakingly, anal-retentively alphabetical. About 2/3 of the collection is metal... hence my adulation for Geezer, who attacks the bass like no other. He's a pioneer. And I'll align with you on Les Claypool - he's no. 2 in my book, a total acrobat, a true original, followed by Cliff Burton (RIP) of Metallica. Also (I can't believe Bert hasn't said this already) Jeff Ament of Pearl Jam is a very versatile, creative bassist, and can be that way in the context of a song without drawing attention to himself. Finally, there's Mark Sandman (also RIP) of Morphine, who did amazing things with two strings and a slide...
From: Bunky Entered on: February 15, 2008 9:23 AM
Wow. That is some serious committment combined with a little OCD! Cliff Burton, good call.... I am not a Rush, Zeppelin, or Who fan, but they always seem to come up... Tim Commerford from Rage Against the Machine is pretty sweet as well (if you can forgive him for Audioslave). I saw them again last July at Rock the Bells. Scott Ian made a guest appearance with some Hip Hop band... I was going to see Les play at the Wiltern in LA, but I am gone the night of the show.
From: Radmobile Entered on: February 15, 2008 10:11 AM
I thought about mentioning Timmy C as well.  I've seen Rage multiple times.  I do have a hard time forgiving the Audioslave bunch though.  It's hard to see past Tom Morello's sweet guitar stylings though to appreciate the rest of the group.
From: Jackzilla Entered on: February 15, 2008 10:15 AM
Bunky - Is there any topic we could bring up that you wouldn't be able to "talk the talk"?
From: Bunky Entered on: February 15, 2008 10:33 AM
Yes. I generally avoid anything related to a link that the Bone posts. For example, 2 Girls 1 Cup. I DO NOT click the link and I pretend it doesn't exist. I am smart enough to know that Bone is a dirty bastard and his links could force me to undergo therapy. I generally avoid the movie discussions as well.. I love music! If I had to choose between giving up my XBOX or my IPod, my XBOX would probably go first.... Rad, I am so impressed....
From: Radmobile Entered on: February 15, 2008 10:50 AM
For a long time Rage was my favorite band by far.  Since they split up that title is up to debate.  I guess they've been playing together lately but it hasn't affected me at all yet so they might as well be still split up. Tom Morello makes pretty much any song he plays on full sweet.  He even played with Bone Thugs & Harmony on a remake of War (What is it good for)  and it kicked ass, and I'm not into rap much at all.  That was on the "Small Soldiers" soundtrack in case you're curious. I think he even played on a Macy Gray song and made it tolerable.
From: Bunky Entered on: February 15, 2008 11:04 AM
I do not like Hip Hop or Rap, but sucked up the rest of Rock the Bells show just to see Rage again. I have some nephews who had never seen Rage but love them, so I wanted them to have the experience. They are a fun band to watch live. They have a great energy.
From: Radmobile Entered on: February 15, 2008 11:59 AM
Yeah, I had to sit through a Wu-Tang Clan opener for one of my Rage experiences.  It sucked but it was worth it anyway.
From: Bunky Entered on: February 15, 2008 12:08 PM
The Wu Tang Clan sucks. Imagine your experience, then add Flava Flav as a special guest, clock and all.... They were on right before Rage and I wanted to kill myself! Flav is a greasey douche bag. When he called out to the ladies for love, it did not make me hernie. How that guy gets any action is a mystery to me... He's no Bone (or Fatty, former known as man whore as well) fo sho...

Bunky said: Imagine your experience, then add Flava Flav as a special guest, clock and all.... Wow!!  Any experience with some added Flav-or is flippin SWEET!!  You just described the best night of my life! Yo Chuck!  We got a lot of unbelievers out there.  Drop a beat and show them what time it is!!!  As a child of the 80s in a semi-urban high school, I was a student of the dark arts - rap.  I liked all the crappy 80s rappers.  RUN DMC, Beastie Boys (who are still flippin sweet), LL Cool J, the Fat Boys (who are not sweet and I think all dead now).  I am even somewhat knowledgeable on the old-school rappers and the origins of the genre.  I was the first white boy to Moon walk in my junior high - and caused quite the spectacle. Bunky - All the Flava is in the FATZ... you want a taste???? Wu Tang is sweet only for the name.  WUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU Tang!

BTW - how did a drawing of Jack dressed as Jackson-Five Barney turn into a discussion on Bass players?
From: NickNick Entered on: February 15, 2008 1:20 PM
Because no one wanted to continue discussing how Zilla modeled his green, ribbed crotch for me.
From: Bunky Entered on: February 15, 2008 2:06 PM
I would rather hear stories of how Zilla modeled his green, ribbed crotch for Nick Nick than think of the Flavor of Love. That can't be taste too sweet. Like KFC without the chicken and just the grease in the bottom of the bucket. Flav is the 11th worst food you can eat.... Yeah boy.... Bootsy, Fatz! Keep up, will ya? That's how we evolved to the sweet bass player discussion. You are starting to scare me Fatty. I made reference to Zilla regarding Nick's missed v-day op, and to Zilla looking like one of the Jackson 5 in a Barney suit, both of which you have mentioned on here...
From: BigFatty Entered on: February 15, 2008 9:27 PM
Hmmm. Instead of being soulmates or siblings, I think you are just the female version of me.  The Fem Fat-tay.  As anyone ever noticed that you and I are never in the same room together??
From: Jackzilla Entered on: February 16, 2008 12:09 AM
Fem Fat-tay?  Isn't that redundant?
