Since it's a slow day in the world of MMA, I thought it would be cool to talk about Tapology and ourselves.. anything at all regarding the same.  I'll get a brief start going..

I live in PA, am 30 and have been a fan of MMA since I was a teenager.  Work for the railroad and rarely ever miss an event regardless of promotion/stature.  I like Tapology b/c of the environment it fosters.  I wish we could edit/delete our posts... maybe have categories of threads for the forums, but all in all, I appreciate the type of place this is thus far.

Apparently it is the 102nd Anniversary of the Johnson/Jeffries bout. It sure shows how old boxing is and how far it's come.

Here is an article on it.

I wish i could play half as good as Geddy Lee...the guy frickin sings during all the stuff he does too, which makes him that much more awesome.

Geddy Lee's an annoying singer but an amazing bassist, no doubt. Top 10, possibly top 5?

@geezhound Would you consider Led Zeppelin and Guns N' Roses heavy metal? 'cause if so, they have to be there.

Man, See what I mean?!! Appetite for destruction is definitely a classic. As far as Zeppelin, I'll never consider them metal.

I don't consider either of those bands metal. But Appetite for Destruction is probably one of my top ten favorite albums ever, regardless of genre.

It could be possible to consider Guns 'n' Roses as "hair metal", perhaps.

I love Iron Maiden. Steve Harris is definitely somewhere in my top 5 bassists. Probably "Powerslave" is their best album.

I always thought Number of the Beast was better than Powerslave.

If Appetite For Destruction is considered heavy metal, I'll call it the greatest heavy metal album ever. That album is ridiculously good.

@AnikM: The Number of the Beast is an awesome album, but for me Powerslave has a couple more great tracks.

Honestly, nothing like metal, but Interpol's former bassist (Carlos Dengler) has some really nice bass lines. He's on all their studio albums.

And he played this without using two fingers, according to all accounts.

EDIT: I don't seem to be able to imbed it.

EDIT 2: Oh man, I've become somebody not able to embed things on a forum. I've become everything I hated.

@Diego, it's always a toss-up between Powerslave and Piece of mind in my opinion. The Trooper and Die with your boots on always squeak out the win over Aces high and Rime of the ancient mariner, but just barely.
