Stoner / Doom Bassist Thread - Part 18

Laz,

First your college. Then your preamps. Then your cabs. Now your Goatee!

Don't forget my celtic and hammer of thor tattoos. One day I was watching a Gangland episode on the Aryan Brotherhood. Once I heard that most members had buzzed heads, facial hair, and followed Nordic mythology with tattoos of Thor and Odin, I became immediately self-conscious about the fact that I looked like a member lol.

show her the "Over 350 gets to eat free" pic and say "I'm doing fine."

It's not like I'm withering away. She made me this damn big with the biscuits and gravy and fried chicken and whatever else Arkansas mom's make...

 

[Kaa]

It's not much of a story. When I was 19 in college my dad called me on a Sunday morning at like 7 am yelling at me about how he couldn't figure out the password to the wireless router at the house. That turned into him being angry and not talking to me, which went on for years. Throw in the fact that he's a right wing fundie and that he gave me ultimatums like cut your hair or we're not paying your tuition and I found my own way in the world very quickly.

Because of a router?? Wow. Sorry to hear.

I can see if you were cooking meth in your bedroom or something equally knuckle-headed, but a router password??

He should be forced to do a couple of bongs to chill.

Yeah, I just saw an article in the paper describing the supremacist shooter's tattoos. The cross-in-circle was mentioned. That got me thinking about the Crowbar longsleeve shirt that I used to wear in high school. It had that cross-in-circle on it. I thought about for it a few seconds then remembered that ignorant dumb***es misappropriate symbols for their own use all the time. The swastika originally had nothing to do with racism or fascism.

It's Hindu, is it not?

 

[Toastfuzz]

are you eating enough?"

This has always been the funniest / most ridiculous question my mom has asked me. Because anytime I've said no, she just gives me more food money and not a dime of it is spent on food, though its all consumed one way or another

 

[Toastfuzz]

I wish the Germans woulda took the yellow smiley face to call their own, then we'd all be appending swastikas to our witty posts

 

[father of fires]

Lazaryan.Bird??

hah.

For those who know my real name it is quite similar to a hero of modern day confederate sympathizers. I met a man today who asked me if I was of any relation to this famous confederate and then told me how he was a proud confederate supporter and how I demand respect because of my name. I must admit it was cool that someone thought I was cool but it was not for the right reasons.

 

[The_Janitor]

It's Hindu, is it not?

Yeah, the oldest known use of it is from the Indus Valley Civilization in ancient India. Lots of other religions have used it over the years. I've seen it on Native American beadwork and blankets as well.

Being in a band with two blacks probably helped.

You forgot to add "self-hating"...which no longer helps his case. Oh and don't forget the Oriental!

Your line up is like the intro to a bad joke. Not to mention you look like a prospector.

That story was priceless.

And the new guy is a ginger...

as a non racist skinhead, when I see these things in combo, I think nazi...

Cross in a circle, Iron Cross, Swastika, etc.

All are used by Nazi's and other people, as well.. it's very convoluted.

When I was 17, I was stopped outside a hotel party. There was only one way in and one way out and the cops had it blocked, checking for drinking. Well, in those days I wasn't much of a drinker. But when I pulled up to the police check with a very strong smell eminating from my car, another dude with a shaved head in the passenger side and 3 blonde chicks in back, the cop made a gesture to his shaved head, told me he knew what I was and I better get those aryan girls home. I was floored. Of course I thanked him and left (didn't feel like going to jail), but I often wonder how different that night might have been if I was anything but white.

It's like, I'm proud to be from the south because we do things our own way, we don't take crap from people, and , we help each other out. Seems like this culture is exclusive to the south. When I see a rebel flag, it makes me miss home, but it also raises my awareness of racism. It's like the one thing that identifies me, is shrouded in racism. (let's not forget our history, of course).

As for skinhead stuff, I love Norse mythology. But, growing up in the south made me conscious of what these symbols can stand for. Otherwise, I'd probably have a Mjölnir tat too.

I think being a Trad Skin really makes me more "paranoid" than most about seeing white supremacists out and about. KC has a history of non-racist skinheads fighting, beating and sometimes killing neo-Nazis, and it's not something that we openly accept as ok at all.

"If this flag offends you, you need a history lesson. sjhgjhgJH!GJHGJHG!j11JHG!JHGJHGjgjhg...STATES RIGHTS....!!!!!!!!JHGjhvnjm!VNBVNBV!!"

Bull ****...the civil war was about a state's right to keep slaves.

 

[beebassdude]

we got from black metal to the civil war. yikes lol

Wasn't this a big thing with the NY hardcore scene in the 90s too? They'd find skinheads and gaybashers and take them behind clubs and beat them senseless? I seem to remember hearing this in a documentary at one point. I think they were all straight-edge too or at least promoted that image of no mind-altering substances.

Also, can we comment about how backwoods rural Northeasterners like to think they're from the south, just because they have a pickup truck and a 12 gauge? Waaaaay too many of my neighbors growing up had this mentality... flying Confed flags everywhere, "the South will rise again" bumper stickers, listening to country music, etc. This is in Western PA, and I know Ohio is plagued by it too.

I embrace my northern redneck heritage. I don't understand the Dirty-Sauth-envy that too many northern "rednecks" have.
