Punk rock pilots

[Guitar rocker]

I dont know if anyone read that article in Airliners (I think thats what it was) a few months ago about the lead singer for Iron Maiden who also flies a 757 for some English airline.........that was pretty interesting. He still rocks with iron Maiden on his off days though. Anyone hear of the band, "The fat chick in Wilson Phillips?" They rock!

Actually it's a CJ3 that he owns. I saw it here in Wichita. The interior is all decked out with tiger stripes on the seats. It was pretty interesting. Maybe he originally had a CitationII, but he also got this CJ3 recently.

Yeah, and to think that there was once upon a time when they say there was no way to make any money off punk rock uh? then Offspring and Green Day proved that wrong.MORE than for money, i would love to lay in a fmous fans for tghe groupies, to think that you can travel city to city in the USA or country to country, europe, south amercia etc and EVERYWHERE you go theres hundreds of pretty girls whou would f*ck you just because you play in the band, thats a dream!

i had the chance to see Green Day opening for Bad Religion in San Francisco october 1993, before they were famous (but i was already a fan) but missed it for a stupid family dinner! 11 years later i ended up seeing Green Day here in Monterrey,Mexico in an arena, along with 8000 more people....i got bored.Spent most of the time looking at girls, there were plenty!

Anyway my last show was some local show i guess,, as for international bands, i guess it was Agnostic Front back in July 05

No sh**! I saw GD open for Bad Religion in Denver that same tour. This was back when when the shows were in small run down theatres and were NEVER sold out. We'd also be drinking whiskey in the parking lot before the shows and were never bothered by cops, lol. The good old days I guess... You couldn't drag me to a Green Day show now.

yeah, it was the Recipe For Hate tour, well Green Day shows nowdays are a good place to check out girls, thousands of them! at their show here in Mexico i even saw little girls with bodyguards,somehow the pop punk explosion hit big with uppers class kids worldwide i think....since you live in Denver are u friends with the guys from Descendents? they live in Boulder i think

Unfortunately I live in south Florida now, but some of the former band members are in Ft. Collins (north of Denver). Milo is apparently a micro biology professor at the University of Wisconsin.

Yeah, it's just not the same when you show up to a show with a bunch of rich kids around. The girls are a lot hotter at the shows today, but they are down on personality. Where in Mexico was the GD show?

Outstanding site Fernando... Sitting here in Seoul waiting to go home, and at least getting some good tunes.

I know Bad Religion's been mentioned a thousand times, but they're worth another mention. I remember seeing them and then hanging out with them in PIT in 90/91 time frame on the Against the Grain tour. My funky older cuz was a DJ with WXXP at the time (for those of us old enough to remember the "Double X" in PIT).

As for Lyric Quotes:
" We got into a car
Away we started rollin'
I said "How much you pay for this?"
She said "Nothing man, it's stolen"
Punk rock girl you look so wild
Punk rock girl let's have a child
We'll name her Minnie Pearl
Just you and me
Eating fudge banana swirl
Just you and me
We'll travel round the world
Just you and me punk rock girl..."

Talking about Bad Religion i just found out theyre playing Mexico City for the first time on January 13th, i hope i can make it.And i hope theres no riots! punk gis in Mexico City can get brutal sometimes, one dead guy at a GBH show like 13 years ago, and big riots on a recent MISFITS/DEAD KENNEDYS show where people stole the drum kit andeverything they could get their hands on, including all the beer that was being sold.Of course this happenes on shows that attract old school punks, not at shows of bands like Blink182 or New Found Glory.

I already saw Bad Religion once, in Miami,they were opening for uh, a...Blink 182.It was fun tho, i spent all the Blink 182 show with a cute 16 yr old girl on my shoulders (and she was wearing shorts!) Nice.

Oh, and Bad Andy, those are the lyrcis for DEAD MILKMENs song, thats a pretty good song!

and Againt The Grain is such a GREAT record!

All my clothing needs were met by punk concerts in the '80's.

Winamp is going like this as I type:

Make a God of useless drivel, sew it at the seams, flow it down the river where the sewage is the sea.
His body is upon the wall, his teeth are sharp and white; he cut his teeth on razorblades and out of him came stupid light, that's Flowers!

Such a happy song, thanks Furs!

My first post, but felt it was appropriate: The bassist for Screeching Weasel was my Italian professor. Cool as hell guy. Came up to me on the first day of class because I had a fall out boy shirt (this was in '03 before they became such corporate whores) and we started talking old-school pop-punk. I didn't find out he was the bassist until after I was done with the class, but he also produced a bunch of The Queers' albums, is good friends with Kris Roe of the Ataris and all that fun stuff.
