But that's because abuse is usually only capable of being defined by the abused. "Idiots." Also because he doesn't have a Twitter.

The world is funny sometimes. Oh God. I just realized I've inadvertently helped fund TNA. How much of a say do you think four albums buys me?

The only electronic SP song I liked was "Eye" from the Lost Highway soundtrack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went to one that had to be rescheduled due to the heroin overdose of touring keyboardist Jonathan Melvoin and firing of Jimmy Chamberlain. We got shafted as Garbage was supposed to be the opener. After the show was rescheduled, we got Grant Lee Buffalo, which is a big downgrade from Shirley Manson, Butch Vig, and co. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Between their music and Shirley Manson...yeah I was definitely pissed. Sarah McLachlan's "Angel" is about Jonathan Melvoin's death. Of course, you can't hear that song now without thinking of abused animals and momentarily having your day ruined. It's Pavlovian. I really like the TNA thread as an all-purpose rambling thread. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(BP) Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 I kind of wish Shirley would show up in TNA just to see her mix it up with Dixie. "Hi, I'm the front-woman for Garbage." "Same." 24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went to one of the post-Chamberlain shows with Garbage. You definitely got screwed.

There was this goth girl that was two grades ahead of me in high school that resembled Shirley Manson, and I was totally crazy about her. We ended up becoming friends, but that was the extent of it.

DTTW Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 I know TNA is more popular in the UK, but is it really enough to warrant the cost of bringing over multiple talent for an indy show? Are they going to draw 1000+ because TNA talent are on a card? Sabu comes around town frequently and he isn't drawing 300+ and he's probably a bigger star than the modern TNA roster. I'm not being snarky, but I know a promoter blew $4500 on a show with some name talent and they barely drew 300 people and the promoter wasn't exactly excited about the turn out. How is this situation supposed to be profitable? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted June 24, 2016 Author Share Posted June 24, 2016 I am assuming on the DVD/iPPV/OnDemand sales is where they make up the money Again - just guessing - but the impression I have always seen is that is the reason (at least in this current market) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
