[droolymutt]

are you teasing us?

[Netjams]

We do it just so you will have 2 reasons to remember us :)

[Netjams]

Ignore that Mutt..He drools on everything!

[debbie mannas]

Drooly, now would I do a thing like that? eh? eh? Just because your girlfriend calls you some unpronounceable chinese name which you want translated...



Has this question been asked before? Does everyone know the answers?



Do you think ThirdCulture is a good name for a band? ooooooh I have a lot of things to do this afternoon, including thinking up a non-cheesy but easy to remember band name. Band names are the very devil. Nobody seems to able to agree on anything.

[Netjams]

You know in times like this a good band name would be "Bad Grammer"... No it didn't have to do with a post it just passed my mind and I needed to share it :)

[debbie mannas]

I'm glad you qualified that Jon. I was just about to go though all my posts and punctuate everything...

[debbie mannas]

So why isnt anyone answering my question????? maaaammmaaaaaaaa.

[droolymutt]

I am completely immune to teasing from smart sexy chicks.



That's why I didn't respond, or post this.



so THERE.

[The Addiction]

I got Auto from the people who talk to me on these boards. I was part of a band called Automatic Panic but I left that band because of artist differences also I was wanting to do different music for which I do now. I came up with The Addiction because of my Addiction to music.

[bbchris]

Mike Burn is Mike Burn

(without the 's') hahahahahahahahahhahahahaa



Hey Debbie! Good to see you keeping the board busy! You know the guys only come here to speak to attractive women. hahahahahaha



Oh OK, they also come to be mesmerized by the

Jane Eliz|Blah Blah|Thinking Out Loud|Today's Song|

[droolymutt]

ok, maybe not completely immune....



The name The Wailing Hobos was conceived about three years ago - were were all in the studio... I was in the vocal booth trying to hit some notes at the very top of my range, and not doing too well.



One of the studio owners (who hadn't met us yet) walked into

the control room just in time to hear me completely Murder the highest note in the phrase....



Apparently he stopped Dead, stunned with Horror, and asked the Engineer.."Who IS that wailing Idiot?!?!" Then he looked around the control room at the rest of the guys in the band and asked..."and who are THESE buncha Hobos?!?!?!"



we LOVED it!!!!!!



so it stuck.

LOL! That's cool mutt..

"I don`t know what caffine does for you,

but I`m pretty sure without it your head caves in."

[Netjams]

Netjams came from my desire to have a online stage name to go with some rock/Jazz/Blues music I had done and wanted to share with the world. I thaught the music jamed and it was on the net only so Netjams was born. Jon comes from my real name Jon Andersen

[MIKE BURN]

"S" ???? DOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!







Well....... MIKE BURN is not my real name (but very close )



Once I had a gig (over 20 years ago) where the lead singer of our band started to introduce the band to the (rather large) crowd.



Surprisingly for all band members he was not announcing our real german names but fantasy names in DE-English...



Example: His real name Harald Hoffmann ("Hoffen" means in english "to hope").... he announced himself as "Harry Hopeless"



........and then me as "MIKE BURN".



Since then I am MIKE BURN.



This is my 'real' artist name and even printed in my passport



It is very sad for me to take that Harald Hoffmann died already because of the misuse of hard drugs and is not able to see his name creation being spread over the Internet-World



But I never will forget who I have to thank for this easy to remember artist-name which brought so much fun to me.





(Harald Hoffmann aka. "Harry Hopeless", a fabulous singer

and the best Harp player I ever met... TRULY MISSED!!!)





That's why I don't like if people call me with my real name when music is involved. Those who know it (there are some here), simply keep it for yourself OK?



Sorry for this rather serious post.

MIKE
