Nick Oliveri---what a great guy

What is the point of this post. To rub it in the faces of people that used to idolize him?
I can't help but notice your avatar having James Brown in it. I take it you are a bit of a fan. Have you heard about his long list of run ins, with the law?
I am not defending Nick, I just find the irony amusing
No, I never have heard about James Brown's run-ins with the law. I live under a rock.

Of course I heard about it. I am a huge fan of his music, but not necessarily him as a person, and I believe he deserved his prison time. But he's dead now, and Nick Oliveri is not.

Man, you are really pissed about my feelings about TC. Can't wait to see what non-issues you dredge up next!

Short version...Nick Oliveri arrested for coke, meth and guns. His girlfriend said he repeatedly hit her the day before and she called the cops because he refused to let her leave the property.

Yeah, I can see why a lot of you QOTSA and Kyuss fans really like this guy and hate QOTSA now. He sounds like a wonderful guy. Hope he gets double digit prison time.

Sounds like he's getting what he paid for. Good.:)
 
Yes, YOU are boring. But only people who respect an amp company for lying to their customers thinks I'm boring, and who cares what they think?
I have never said I respect the company for lying, have I?
You speak from the heart, which is good. I guess.
You have admitted you have a grudge with tc, because they didn't accept you for the pilot scheme, They had 25 amps to give to top bass players to try out. and how dare they not choose you!
You have slandered them every chance since that, two years ago... your emotions are getting the best of you.This is what I was trying to say, indirectly, by being relentlessly boring, like your posts on the tc subject
Yes they are. Plenty of info on it in the amps section.
lol looks like I helped you on your quest
 
...And we now return to our scheduled broadcast about how some people get success handed to them and they throw it away...

Sorry 'bout that, I really did do a search looking for info for progress on the case.
He certainly had a lot going for him. He was in the right place at the right time, re being one of the stoner rock founders.
He has a great stage presence and plays in the pocket effortlessly.
But those demons that lead him to meth, or meth that led him to to making stupid violent acts, is very sad.
 
Search titles with tc rh in it. I am sure heaps will turn up. Or search Jimmys posts. he is all over them, hating :D. They lied in their marketing ..

That was interesting.... I didn't read it all but what I got was a discussion on paper vs. measurements. I missed the part on how measurements were actually conducted.
All quite irrelevant I thought.
That amps seems to work for some and not so much for others...All good.:)

Slandered them my ass. They admitted to it, and still lie about it in their advertising.

Hey, simple solution if you find my posts boring...put me on ignore.

BTW, don't worry about hijacking, Kraken...it's my thread.
