The small clip of the dive is on TB2K briefly in the extras.
Usual ten club genius level counterintuivity. There's a new album out next week and they're busy reminding people that they like Pjs old shit better. Fucking frustrating.

They've been doing that series of videos on YouTube for a while now, audio from Europe 2000 shows with facts, etc.

It doesn't have anything to do with the new album, at least not directly, I think it's to promote the fact that the 2000 bootlegs are now on iTunes.

He certainly didn't look like a cat.

Oh, and the infamous "plugs" everyone talks about are not plugs. That's make-up or spray on shit that he almost immediately stopped with.

THESE are plugs:

Like I said, that was makeup of some kind. If it were plugs they would still, ya know, be there.

Edit: PHOTOGRAPHIC EVIDENCE!! The following is a natural hairline...

You can get hair plugs removed.

I suppose you could. But, regardless, those weren't plugs. It's not even that difficult to see.

Also, getting rid of hair plugs is not an easy process. Plus, there would be scarring.

Man, how did he think that was a good idea. On tv no less.

But anyway, synths? Anyone? No?

I hear them. Is there an official bootleg of that show? I can't tell just what it is.

I don't think so but l'm not sure.

Hairline shave on the left, with a classic fuzzy regrow situation on the right.

Saw a huge number of Latino kids start doing this as they hit puberty, because they got so weirdly hairy. It would seriously reach from their browline or temples almost to their eyebrows. Even some of the girls had to do it. Some of them kept it up, others either gave up or got so caught up in getting high that they stopped worrying about hygiene and let it grow back out.

I talked with a guy at Sturgis a few years back who explained that bikers with long hair do this sometimes as they get older, so that the thinning at the forefront of the hairline isn't visible. They think it makes them look like they have a thicker head of flowing hair, or something.

You can even see the slight shadow on the left, and the fluffy "baby hairs" regrowth on the right. Now can we please just, like, never talk about this again?

11-14 age range. I guess one came back a few years later to say hi with a slur and a story about meth, but mostly I figure pot.

Haha wow

You're ruining the hairplugs meme though.

I love how McP comes into the thread and talks some shit about Mexican hair and everyone shuts the fuck up. I got logic and shit on my side and everyone wants to fight me.

It's like how they said it took Richard Nixon to put some teeth in the EPA.

Sounds almost like they are triggering on the vocals, could it be a "Board trick" like reverb, or echo?

Yeah, good call.

Whatever that is, it's mirroring exactly what Ed's doing with his vocals, so I presume it's an effect being added at the board.

Cool! I had no idea that you could add stuff like that at the board.
