David Lee Roth again. Three in a row makes 4, tying him with Zombie and Manson, but sure giving him more weight. This time from 1998's DLR Band album and my favorite track of his for a very long time. Black Sand. These off and on 25 year joint efforts between John and Dave are a pretty cool...

I just paid.

I'm in sorry. I saw one notification but ignored it. I'm not ready for football, but that isn't important here.

I'm way behind listening and lack motivation for writing this up the way I intended. Somn about deep diving John, learning about how Eddie was his first rockstar hero, how he spent most of his childhood doing Eddie impersonations, and how Van Halen's break up led him to having teenage fantasies...

Not according to three different AIs. 16 is unverified. No one got 100 milly bonus. The biggest package has been discussed - 200 million structured over several years, primarily vested stock. The bonus is estimated between 20-50 million. Compensation is heavily weighted toward stock and...

I'm tempted to move this to the AI thread because that's where the discussion belongs. I'm not sure exactly what you're asking, but I'll try. First it's a bit unsettling when a preponderance of highly qualified AI founders, researchers, etc., are calmly acknowledging an existential risk -...

if it helps, these hires are all Phds in related fields, have all led to breakthroughs in one aspect or another in AI, and have all published several peer reviewed research. They're predominently Chinese and were mostly poached from European Open AI operations. About half of them Stanford grads...

Understood. I don't really care all that much, and I can't seem to contribute unless I write an essay few will read. AI is on my mind constantly. I apply it to every topic I see. I've even researched why people seem reluctant to discuss it. The potential and predictions are psychologically...

Agree. I've said it repeatedly in the official thread. It should be 100 pages or more by now. I wish Joe used it. It made me not want to comment here, but the reality is finally being explained. There is no evidence of verified 100 million dollar signing bonuses. These were multi-year...

As happy as I was to discover 5 and The Creatures, well I was just giddy to hear this. Between an estimated 2012-2018 David Lee Roth and John recorded a full album Dave had written to be a Broadway play. The mysterious sessions were dubbed The California Sessions. Dave didn't get the musical...

Love seeing this ranked so high, krista. I hoped we'd share some classical but I'll settle for some jazz. Of interest to you might be how I discovered this. I was lamenting the "death of jazz" in some music conversation here. My take was that there was fantastic jazz still being released, but...

John 5 and The Creatures trio again. Not much to say beyond the previous one. Here he writes lyrics and sings! haha I Want it All At the beginning of this exercise I would have had a lot to say about this. Somn somn about how hard he's worked, how wanting it all was his dream, how sometimes...

He got back on his feet with the balance to throw a spinning back fist. He seemed very alert. Bad stoppage. Booo.

Is it just me or was that a bad stoppage?

That was a fun post to read, thanks. I was 10 in 1972. My dad drove five of us from SoCal to Panama where we lived for year. He had work on the canal. We lived in an Americanized compound outside of Clayton Air Force Base surrounded by those jungles. That's where kids my age played. We were...
