I am playing with a serial killer

i ran onto the serial killer this morning. i almost change sidewalks. i passed by him. i nodded. he looked at me like he had a lobotomy. He says "what the heck you want?". Walks away. I shouldn't have nodded, I should have changed sidewalks. I am sure I didn't give him my address. Maybe I gotta change my phone number.

I know that guy he plays guitar..... no drums....... no both! ........ RUN!
 
a Cereal killer?? what, like a Compine Harvester or something?

maybe there's a drummer's forum where he gives his version of events..maybe you were stalking him and just put this up to throw us off the scent...
 
Im +2 on youre an idiot.

I know people who run very succesful businesses and smoke everyday. I also i know a graduate from Princeton University with a 4-0 GPA that smoked everyday before, during, and after he was in college.

And bi-polar is a very real problem. My father nearly killed himself when I was a little boy before he got help.

And maybe the problem was you were hanging with a bunch of knucklehead lazy loaffers, who also happened to smoke pot. If they were drinking beers and behaving this way would you be bashing alcohol and its users?? I really cant stand people like you sir

Keep your BS to yourself. Cop.......

I'm going +3 on this, maybe higher...

I gotta weigh in on this one.

I was approached many years ago by a prog rock band who wanted to try a dual bass player sound. They had a guy playing a four string and I played a six string and typically played lots of chords and more of a lead role in bands I was playing with. What we ended up with actually worked pretty well. But on to the point...

The bass player who was there already turned out to be an interesting character. He and I, both being bass players, naturally gravitated to one another and became friends.

He was a little strange but nice enough. Well, finally one night we're driving around in his car. He had a radar detector stuck on the windshield. He would wave his hand in front of the radar detector and it would go haywire. Beeping and buzzing and flashing...it only happened when he waved his hand in front of it. I waved my hand in front of it; nothing. I'm still not sure how he did that; and I don't really care. But here's where it get's interesting...

I asked how he did it. That opened the floodgates. He starts telling me that he is the center of the universe and he is the beginning and the ending of time and space and he is the one universal truth and blah, blah, blah...this speech went on for quite some time. I listened without protest.

Finally, he spills the beans. Tells me that he is Jesus Christ and that he has returned and judgment day is upon us. He talks about how he has watched mankind for thousands of years and he had decided that it was now time to end the world and pass judgment on mankind and...well, this went on for a while. He quoted bible verses and talked about washing the sin away and about heaven and hell and...well, yeah...he was clearly out of his ******* mind.

Now here's the part that made me weigh in on the OP's post. This guy who told me he was Jesus is now in prison for (drum roll please) a dual homicide.

So to the OP, yes, you were right to distance yourself from that lunatic.

OMG!! LOL I was NOT expecting that. Laughed hard.
 
Hoogie-Boogie Land what the hell is that ??
But by the sounds of that killer drummer RUN,RUN,RUN.
We called a friend that we grew up with that was just a rippin guitarist but we haddent seen him since school 10 years back, anyway....
We go over to his place to give him the songs to learn & he invites us in to show us his smashed Carvin Amp & Quad he did with a hand held hammer.I said what the hell happend here bro ?? He said he did it because the Devil was sitting on his bed next to him having a chat & must of told him to do it.The only thing that was left untouched was the Carvin badge which he asked if we wanted so i said yeah why not.He was a good kid & great Lead player when i last saw him 10 years back.
We didnt call him back again but he showed up about 3 months later at band practice, we had a full band now without him.So he comes in & starts to chop up his stuff without asking anybody.Then about 5 mins after his toke he starts pulling his pants down & rubbing his legs & balls saying that he feels like his on fire.
WEIRDO. Its not only Drummers !!
 
I've known several people who have significant emotional/mental disorders. Several who were hospitalized, several who hallucinate (the natural way), several who hear voices, etc. These guys have never harmed me.

But I knew one seemingly normal guy who was really nice. Overly nice. Almost effeminate in how nice he was. Would always leave the group by giving everybody a hug. Was very tuned into group dynamics, and would be upset if somebody was being shunned or shut out. He always wanted to include everybody, and wanted to know about everybody's opinion and feelings.

And one day he shot his dad 13 times with a bolt-action .22. I imagine that one or two bullets to the chest would have been enough to kill the guy, but he just kept reloading and shooting.

That was 15 years ago. Since then I've learned that the outwardly crazy people are 50% looking for attention and 50% loony. The dangerous people are the ones you would never expect.

And hey, to a lot of people, Charlie Manson was a really nice guy.
