Without going back and counting I think Numberthirty, and Chiahead and maybe Lee Stone ( although it's been awhile) have posted/commented or at least made the biggest impression on me in this thread. Numberthirty ( give us some more dude and more backstory) is probably the standout so far. I want to thanks to everyone ( it's the misfits thread so everybody counts) and please continue to post.

This song has been covered by a number of bands, the most "mainstream" of which was probably Faith No More. The album cover for Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables I believe is a photo from the night Harvey Milk's shooter successfully played the infamous "twinkie defense".

Aw, schucks.

We talking more "Music" backstory or more "Guy Behind The Gorilla Mask" story?

Anyway, this thread is a keeper.
