Front Row Location: CT, of course! | As far as the AJ breaking a finger for us SMFs. Can you imagine??? He is just an f'n maniac, I swear. You never would have known unless Dee running around like, well, like Jay Jay and Eddie back for the dual axe attack on ISMKSC and Silver Bells (I’ll come back to that one later), and White Christmas. Bad ass, riff trading MFers, nearly brought tears to my eyes. Honestly, they have this awesome synergistic relationship that just keeps getting better and better each year. Oh, and Eddie singing. What a treat. Won’t tell ya what and won’t tell ya when…but he’s got such an incredibly…I don’t know how to say this without embarrassing myself….an incredibly, umm...Latin voice…we’ll just leave it that. (Writer sighs; heart skips a beat, and she has to take a seat for being weak in the knees!) Jay Jay was in perfect form as well. His leads were dead on last night. Impressive as hell. The guy comes up to the front of the stage, stands there and looks out in the audience with the trademark French sneer, and he’s a thousand feet tall. Just an overwhelming presence so ominous that you almost have to avert you eyes. (well, I do, anyway). He’s a classic guitar god in every sense of the word. He’s brilliant as a thousand suns. Amazing. And the “glue” thing during the introductions...I won’t give that away, but it’s so cool and so true and I am so damn proud. And lastly, I have been to the mountain top. And I had a vision. On top of that mountain made of steel and rock and molten lava…on top of the highest rock overlooking the valley of all rock bass players stood the Grand High Exalted Master of them all. There he stood with his instrument held high above his head, his arms upraised as he claimed the mountain and the valley as his. His roar to be heard beyond the heavens!! Let the entire universe know that I have been to the mountain and there he stood… MARK ‘THE ANIMAL’ Quick shout out to all the SMFs that it is such a pleasure to hang out with, KLO, Kim, MP, Joe Rock, Shawn and his lovely lady, and all the new SMFs we met along the way. You guys ROCK! Have yourselves a merry little Christmas. I know I will now! D | ||

Nearly A Band Member Posts: 513 Location: New Fuckin Yawk | Awesome review Donna. You couldn't have summed it up any better than that. And believe me I tried to sum up the show in Chicago, but came nowhere near your review of Orlando. I can't wait to see the boyz again Friday in Starland AND Saturday in Atlantic City. After seeing that show in Chicago, the boyz left me begging for more! | ||

Nearly A Band Member Posts: 632 Location: Over the Rainbow. | As usual the lady who gave the Blarney Stone it's amaing powers, our very own Mayor, has out done herself. Not much can be added but I want to emphasize you really need to see one of these Special Twisted Christmas shows for yourself. The Boyz get to go in directions previously muted. M.A.M. (I BOW) Hearing your bass solo on the CD is one thing but to actually see and hear it being performed A GIFT. THANK YOU. Jay Jay and Eddie shredded, to Christmas songs? , F'kn aye ripped them songs every which way and then some. It's something that HAS TO BE SEEN to be appreciated. Dee sang with such intensity and his voice IS better then ever. He made every inch of that stage feel his presence and threw it to the audience who loved every second of it. Well, maybe not one certain lady in a red shirt! lmfao AJ ABOVE AND BEYOND THE CALL! Thank you all. Charlie, if I can I will give you a buzz. I will try tomorrow. 9ER, See you at the Starland. Sir Rock n Roll, Find me - front of the stage -grey ponytail, sister jacket. | ||

Full-On SMF Posts: 88 Location: Under the Blade | Thanx, Donna! That was great. Rami had sent me some old recordings on CD. One of them was marked 'bonus stuff'. On it was a show from El Grecco in South Jersey and on it was a lead bass solo. He did Jingle Bells, The Schaffer (sp) beer jingle,The Popeye theme, and some other interesting song samples. Remember when CD's came out and they said they were unbreakable...NOT ! I can't go back and here it , but I did send you cassette copies to you. Do you still have them ? If so , it may take a little time to find it but check it out if you can. As soon as I heard 'A Twisted Christmas ' and Mark's BASS I wanted to go back and listen to that , but that's when I found out about my CD problem. | ||

Front Row Location: CT, of course! | Thanks guys, you are all too kind!! I just call it like I see it, is all! MML - Thanks for the info on the PM. I will see you soon, (as my Mom would say) God willing! 9er - See you at the Starland!! I need to get the tapes back. I lent them to someone who really wanted to hear them, and haven't been able to pry them back since. Once back, I will listen for the bonus info. Do you need me to re-record them for you? My dear George! "I never heard a person not curse so much in one post LOL" You are too funny. Please tell me you are attending one of the shows this weekend. It would be really awesome to talk face to face again! And you really need to see this show to believe it. To steal from the AP guy on the home page..."it's THAT good"! MP - I got nothin' to say to you. Mitch! You sure are getting yourself one hell of a b'day present. See you at the shows! See ya soon, The Mayor Edited by DCT 2006-12-20 12:17 AM | ||

Record Company Good Guy Posts: 575 | Even though I have seen 2 shows so far, I really wish I could make it to the shows this week. Too many obstacles, blah blah blah. I hope you guys have as much fun as I did and I'll be there in spirit. On a bright note I am going to TSO tonight, and on a downer the Cheetah Girls on Thursday. UGGGGHHHHH | ||
