MR

... like a werewolf when the first rays from the full moon emerge from the overcast sky, so I'm just warning everyone now. It's totally involuntary, just as when a new Dokken album comes out. On midnight, May 24th, I'll be bugging the piss out of someone at Wal-Mart to give me multiple, multiple copies of ECLIPSE, and I will not leave without it. I will pass them out like candy. I will blast it out my car windows very loudly for all to hear, and if that's at 2am in the morning, so be it. I will beat the naysayers into submission with a merciless tirade of verbal abuse, the likes of which MR has never seen.

The new songs are growing on my with each passing day, and there is only one direction this goes -- toward the brink of insanity which reaches it's peak under the intoxicating influence of rock 'n' roll that strikes me senseless on every level.

Please understand, it's just a phase and eventually I'll come back down to planet earth, but my apologies in advance for anyone that gets hurt in the process.

Congrats, you just managed to 1-up birthday threads for overall gayness.

I love it, Rip . I can't wait for the malcontents to start crying foul.

No worries Ripster, I fully understand. No 'Rockers Anonymous' for me either, DO NOT want a cure. I'm a little caught in an Undertow myself. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mHGv5FCS2j8 Symptoms should probably peak about April-ish and with meds should probably subside a tad come May-ish possibly.

I'm crazy about Resonate and Chain of Love. But I am really enjoying listening to Edge of the Moment, also. I need to listen to the other two more when I have time. I haven't really gone back to listen to them past the first couple of times.

I'm going to be slinging froth from my mouth in every direction too, just like a zombie in 28 Days Later. You might want to wear your bib.

That is a kick-ass tune, btw! The sounds reminds me of early Van Halen.

Yes, no cure needed nor wanted here. I'm going loud and proud, getting on as many people's nerves as possible, all in the name of furthering the awareness of good rock music. The world needs it, and that includes everyone around me.

Almost 2 months is a long time to sustain that kind of arousal without some serious pain!

Maybe if you are lucky I'll give you the songs in April....not likely, but there's always a city's worth of hope....

You can start by removing that ugly mug from your sig and Avatar. Remember, It's always the first cut that hurts the most.

I think I'm even getting my Journey fan boy y-fronts washed and ironed.

If it lasts longer than 4 months, I'm supposed to see a doctor.

In professional football he's the guy that has the equivalent of a suicide mission. The "wedge" is a tight blocking formation and the "wedge breaker" basically runs full speed and tries to bust it open for his fellow teammates to have a shot at making a tackle. Not an enviable job, but one that gains tremendous respect for the sheer insanity and pain that the position requires.
