[Kevan Campbell]

I had been traveling back from Mexico on a trip in college and had only slept about four hours in three days (not even at once). I was beyond exhausted and frustrated with a lot of things, so all I wanted was to get back to my dorm and sleep. Several hours later I'm laying down and about to drift off when two of my closest friends come knocking on my door, drunk and laughing loudly, asking to borrow my TV and the Fight Club DVD. I was so frustrated that I couldn't seem to get some down time that I actually growled like an animal. The pounding on my door stopped and I heard one of them say to the other "Was that a bear?"...and thus the legend was born...

Somehow this evolved into a song we would jam on regularly called "The Bear Plays The Bass", which was the entirety of the lyrics, all played to a 1-5-6-4 in whatever key we were already in, while every 3 minutes two of the three of us would rotate instruments and start again. It was understandably awful.

 

[GoldMan27]

My username was an offshoot off of Sam Witwicky's eBay username in the first Transformers (LadiesMan217). My dad had given me his old Telus phone (with the num-pad shield and pull-up antenna), and I spent hours thinking of a username. Eventually I decided to just take that username and modify it from "Ladies" to "Gold" (because who doesn't love gold?), and removed the "1" in "217". Hencefourth, I used GoldMan27 as the cellphone's username, and the name has stuck ever since.

(I sometimes use Bronzium/Brawnzium these days, but GoldMan27 has always been my go to for stuff.)

My name is Kenneth Dupree. An ex GF, Mattie P, called me Kenneff. Its a reference to something on an Eminem album(Ken Kenneff) My friends call me Dupree and a drummer buddy Curtis, who we call Curt-toose, called me Dupriest. Two of my favorite ppl from back home in Shreveport.

[untilshewokeme]

Its part of a line from a Saul Williams spoken word/poem

The full line is "until she woke me with the knife edge"

I know, pretty emo but I was in high school at the time when I first used it and it kinda stuck from message board to message board.

A better bass player is one of them.

Sneaky marketing ploy

[raventepes]

My name comes from a combination of the bird, of course, and Vlad Tepes, or The Impailer. He was otherwise known as Vlad Dracul, who was the inspiration for Dracula.

I've used this name for 20 years. Many people just call me Raven as a nickname at this point, both online and in real life.

 

[ZBirdV8]

My Initials are Z.S.

ZERO Tolerance is a song off of an album titled SYMBOLIC by the band Death:

In the dark of night...
Abusing a portion of light
While others are sleeping
And some are escaping
A serpent spews out fantasy-
Unjustified blasphemy
That cannot be condoned

[Solo: Schuldiner]

It must be strange to not have lived
So far into existence

This is not a test of power
This is not a game to be lost or won
Let justice be done

[Chorus:]
There will be zero tolerance
For the creator of hallowed intentions
There will be zero tolerance
Fate is your deciding God

[Solo: Schuldiner / Solo: Koelble]

Karma comes crashing down
Leaving a very deep scar
Exposing a door to the
Source of a verbal whore
Machines supply the altar
Where virtuous lives are sacrificed

[Solo: Koelble]

It must be strange to not have lived
So far into existence

This is not a test of power
This is not a game to be lost or won
Let justice be done

[I Need a six...]

My life is not going to be complete before I have a six string bass in it.

 

[I Need a six...]

When I was child (am 56) would do anything, so I won't miss a single episode of Mr. Ed (the talking horse) nothing would work better than holding my breathing for few seconds until I turn purple-ish, worked all the time... poor my mother, am going straight to hell.

A horse is a horse, of course of course, and no one can talk to a horse, of course, that is of course, unless the horse is the famous mr Ed!!! My dad and I watch that show a lot. It's actually pretty brilliant.

 

[I Need a six...]

I grow seriously hot peppers and have products related to them, hence "caustic".

Reminds me of when i ate some salsa with a ghost pepper in it. The heat grows at first it was nothing and then two minutes later I was drinking milk from a gallon jug.
