My keyboard is running out of batteries and so I must simply leave you all with this:
Heh. I apparently have a lot of Depeche Mode in my favorites list:
One last one for ye olde drunken Toonces.
So back in 1991 I watched this contest on ESPN while I was living in New Jersey. Yes, I grew up there.
Tom Carroll (in the video) is probably my favorite surfer besides Kelly Slater. I actually owned one of Carroll's boards when I was out here my first tour, but I sold it before I left. I'd be mad about that except all of my boards were stolen on a subsequent move, so in the end it didn't even matter.
Now then, in this video, Tom is riding a pink board with his trademark swoosh on it. At or about 1:15 you see him take a wave and, in slow motion, you can see icon Derek Ho do a full-on arm grab to save his board as he bails from taking the wave while Tom takes it and crushes it for a perfect 10.
At the end, about 1:50, you see Tom take his unprecedented 6th wave of the heat and, off camera, he snaps his board. Not pictured in the video, a very young Kelly Slater waits in the wings with a back up board, which Tom fails to take advantage of as he's essentially won at this point. Tom goes on to win not only the contest, but notoriety as a balls-up surfer for his "snap" into the vertical face of a 12' Pipe bomb breaking in about 3 feet of coral-infested water, and his broken board becomes a fixture at the Haleiwa Quiksilver store, which I shall proceed to show you at some point.
And of course, his board caddy Kelly Slater just goes on to be the best surfer in the world...
Ok, I'm done for tonight.
Christ you lot listen to some weird stuff. Have some THERION!
You like chick rock? How about some of this?
or maybe some of this?
MetalDog, with a handle like that I'd have expected something a bit more hardcore! Paramore are OK at what they do I guess, but it really isn't my thing. Evanescence just suck. :P
When I think chick rock, I think more like this:
:)
I realize that Toonces is a typical drunk pilot but the rest of ya know we have a music forum for this.
I assume he started this thread here to stop the weekend gaming thread from morphing into a music video thread. You big baby.
Toonces needs to stick to Coors light.
Cool - I love 80's
Here's my chic rock from the 80's
By the way for the record that song is FULL of moral issues - but great song O0
Why is this in the computer gaming section?
I know booze is involved here somehow.
Don't know - don't care. Thread was started, I jumped in ^-^
And yep - booze IS involved! ;D

Huw I'm Scottish - I'm not getting your point? 8)
Actually, I'm heading out in a half hour for my Christmas work party - so just getting a couple of cheap one's in before the great British institution of "ripping off the public" begins...by charging £4 a pint :o
My company's party is tonight...we're headed out soon. I intend to get Farva levels of blasted, which means I'll be lucky to be half that. If it's 'open bar, duuuude' tonight, so much the better. :)
Later gator bitchez.

But if you're looking for something different try these two:

Nothing like a redone classic.
Imagine if those guys had done Oh Brother Where Art Thou?

I remember this event, legendary performance. 3 years later I graduated high school, moved to the north shore and watched the emergence of Kelly Slater from the line up at pipe, backdoor, and off the wall. Great era of the sport.
^ Awesome! I was starting to fear I was the only surfer on Grogheads!
Man alive, I leave you guys alone in here for 8 hours and this is the crap you guys post up? We have a lot of work to do between now and next Friday... :idiot2:

I have decreed that the Friday music video thread shall co-exist in the Computer Gaming forum next to the Friday gaming thread. At least until Gus accidentally locks or moves it.
And I can neither confirm nor deny any alcohol involvement. <hungoversmiley>
Longblade - thanks for those. Nothing More were interesting; definitely a cut above the average. They aren't exactly Tool but I enjoyed the song enough that I'm going to see what else they have. My daughter liked it too which is always a bonus. :)
Halestorm...well, they absolutely piss over Evanescence! I can't decide whether I liked that song or not yet, will give it a few more spins and maybe see what else they have too. Thanks again, I'm always on the lookout for new bands!
And now for something
completely not entirely different. I give you...Teargas by
Katatonia.
If we're still posting bands with chicks I'll submit this to you:
KyzBP, if you remove the s from https, the Youtube tag works. :)

We might very well be the worlds only two, surfing and wargaming don't usually go together. It does make for a very unique life experience being a walking oxymoron.
Me in high school was like Jeff spicoli eating pizza and not only learning about Cuba, but taking over the class from mr hand to lead a discussion on the Cuban missle crisis.
I am contractually obligated to post this here.

Not bad. Never heard of them, but something to look into :)
Halestorm has plenty of other material if you're not into that tune.
interesting thread....thought i might contribute, i do have a thing for female lead rock bands.
an obvious 80's oversight....Lita Ford
i did like there remake of this song...Bangles
something more current...flyleaf
here's some swedish classical trained vocals......Epica
ok .......a couple more....just because
Lacuna coil
Halestorm remake of a Jay-z song....empire state of mind.
last one...why..... because i like Nazareth...and concrete, graffiti covered buildings.
it was Christmas decorating and tree trimming night @ budd's house and i cannot confirm or deny that there was alcohol involved in that activity or the construction of the reply to this thread......basically you'll have to draw your own conclusions.
^erm...WOW! :o
Budd do you like Nightwish? They'd probably be right up your street. Oh, and Sirenia.
I've never been mesmerized by a Nazareth song before I saw this video. I love feminism!
Lacuna Coil rocks.

Nightwish - End of All Hope
Sirenia - My Mind's Eye
Looks like that Sirenia video is a fan-made video or something - sorry about that!

In case you like Nightwish you should also check out Within Temptation (to please the dutch forum members).
Nazareth! YEAH!!

Ok, I further decree the following, assuming you're still clicking on this thread.
Decree the first: The ONLY female band that shall be allowed in the Grogheads Friday Music Threadtm is Flyleaf.
Decree the second: Having shown his worthiness in battle, at the loserness proven by the rest of Grogheads, or perhaps the lack of guidance by the drunken OPtm the next thread shall be the sole and non-transferable responsibility of -Budd- .
So sayeth I, Toonces, this December 7th, Pearl Harbor Day, the year of our Lord 2014.

Toonces! Say what you like about the other bands, but if you slag off my beloved Therion I will hunt you down and shave your pets!
heavy lays the crown..........................and.......WTF did he just say 8).................I'm gonna need more beer.
That's the spirit! O0
