Christina here, almost 34.....SD-er since about age 12. Too many stories, too many memories, too many concerts/gigs. Favorites that stand out are when they've played on my birthday. I mean come on, having Mike sing "happy birthday" to you is PHENOMENAL!!! YIPPEEEE!!!

Been away for a while.... *waves at Erica blows a smooch*....just been REAL busy.
---------------------------------------------------------------

New album kicks butt, BUT it could have been better. So far a standout is "Winners and Losers"...I can relate to it's lyrical content.

I am 37. 1st started listening to SD in 1982 on a family trip to LA. SOMEONE GOT THEIR HEAD KICKED IN" VARIOUS ARTISTS - Mass Hysteria. Got "POSH HITS VOLUME 1 - GOD BLESS AMERICA" LP, then Mommy's Little Monster LP, etc. Still have the original LP's. My brother got my MLM copy signed years back by Mike & Dennis @ a show in Austin. I have seen 3 shows. 1990, 1992, & 2 days ago. Thank God SD has been a part of my life for 22 years.

Another first poster here, long time lurker. Sorry to use the "sickboy" nickname again, but this has been my nick on other hostboard forums, and all the guitar forums I post on.....so I'll stick with it!

Anyway, I'm 29, and been a listener for about 10 years. First got into them with the self titled album and "Somewhere Between Heaven and Hell" (which is my fav). I'm definatly a hard core fan. The band got me through one of the hardest times in my life a few years ago(relationship related), and have never looked back. Got a skellie tat in the ink collection. I know just about every single guitar lick, etc. In my guitar amp collection, I have a few P-90 LPs, a couple Fender Bassman heads (one of which is modded by Billy Zoom...Mike's amp tech and guitar player of X ....to Mike's exact specs of his amps), Marshalls, Marshall cabs, etc. I'm pretty obsessed with Mike as a guitar player and his tone. Have a decent sized boot cd and vid collection too.

Anyway, seen em 5 times, and looking foward to the 6th with my girl (her first time) on 30 Oct here in Chicago! Killer every time I've seen em! By far my fav band. Love the new album. One of their best, IMO. Looking foward to contributing to the board!

Oh yeah and most of the people I talked to were not going to the Social D show in New York, because they thought the admission price was too high. I'm sure it'll sell out if it hasn't already. I mean c'mon, its New York City, the place is overpopulated.

<font size="2" face="verdana, arial">The first show is sold out, and they have added a second. The price is a bit high at $30. Luckily having Tiger Army on the bill makes up for it. I believe that last shows YEARS ago were $20-$25.

Some people have mentioned that difference between the young and new. I remember seeing SD on the Warped tour back in '97-98 and I was amazed about how INSANE the pit was. No young'uns in there, but the seasoned "pros". Good show.

I'm 39 and from OC. First saw them 81-82 ish at a party in Fullerton, near the high school somewhere.( everything is still foggy from back then if ya know what I mean ).The Cukoos nest of course and Fenders and Jezabels.Do you Remember The Receda Country Club? Shows at the Olympic Auditorium? Hell we might have even thrown blows back then heh heh. Great to see you OC originals still around ( Sean 13 Ducks, you da man ).
Damn, We should all have a Reunion BBQ or something, Bring the kids, tell stories, laugh at each others wrinkles ect..
I know that some of the bands are still going besides SD ( TSOL,DI, The Dickeys,Agent Orange, Angry Samoans,Adolescents,CH3,...ok...a bunch more)
And I hear that Shattered Faith is about to or is going again? son-of-a...
And they said it was a phase...pftt.
So anyways, Great post.

Her then boyfriend was a major punk rocker who was really into them and all the other OC bands of the day. All I really cared about back then was drugs and drinkin'.


aaah yes sweet Carrot, the Country Club of Reseda...good times baby goooood times. I have a recording of their gig there back in '90. That place was a fucking hellhole. AND Jezebel's....holy shit...Fender's and Cuckoo's...I was just a wee sprout HAHHAAA!! and don't forget Bogart's, the Studio or Club 369. Dragonfly was my favorite though. Things change, man, in a blink. Well I just hafta heavy sigh. I'm glad I still have my Doll Hut.

Damn I'm old.

P.S. was listening to the new rocord on the way home tonight, gave it a few days rest and fucking hell if Footprints didn't make me cry. *CRAP* My opinion about the change in lyrics with Angel's Wings is mixed. I'm just glad I have the original version.
