Tommy

[fuckin crazy]

I hadn't read that interview before ... he is one down to earth dude, and you gotta love his politics.

[TAP]

Could we start a thread detailing what we know about Tommy?

He sure plays a mean pinball

I think your thinking of that deaf, dumb and blind kid.

[Lafayettecopssuck]

He has the most prolific legacy out of anyone in the current lineup in GNR, outside of Axl.

Yes, an amazing list of achievements!

.............and then there's Fortus and The Psychadelic Furs!!!! 

What's interesting is that both have worked with Ben Folds! Another link to little old Adelaide! Ben Folds married an Adelaide girl and lived here for a while!

So proud! It just gets better and better!

You lost me on that one, but I'm drunk ... "Tommy can you hear me" HERE

Ever wonder where "Moon The Loon" got his nickname?

[stolat]

Apparantly,? he made quite a spectacular entrance to a party once by driving/riding a bike/car into a swimming pool.

Came flying over a fence or something.......

New soundtrack math: 4 episodes, 8 tracks
By Tamara Conniff
Aug 23, 2007

You heard about the innovative music being used in Showtime's new series "Californication" here first. Now the show is going one step further: A soundtrack will be released -- but not on a round disc and not all at once.

If TV is the new radio, then this may be the new soundtrack. "Temptation: Music From the Showtime Series 'Californication' " is going to be released exclusively via iTunes by ABKCO Records in installments of eight-song "track packs." In essence, it will be an evolving digital soundtrack. The show's music supervisors Budd Carr and Nora Felder had initially approached ABKCO about using the Rolling Stones' "You Can't Always Get What You Want" in the show. Then they and ABKCO vp Alisa Coleman asked themselves: Why wait until the end of a show's season to release a soundtrack? 'Tis the digital age, no?

Because ABKCO -- which is home to works by such acts as the Stones, Sam Cooke, the Animals and Marianne Faithfull -- had a strong existing relationship with iTunes, the marriage of show and record label made sense.

Coleman notes that offering the soundtrack while "Californication's" first season is on the air can make "passive viewers" into "active viewers." They watch, they buy. They buy, they watch.

The first pack of eight songs will be available Sept. 10 and is chock-full of cool tracks, including the first-time digital release of Paul Oakenfold's remix of the Doors' "L.A. Woman," "Mojo" by Peeping Tom (the new project from Mike Patton of Faith No More) as well as songs by Tommy Stinson, Mindy Smith, Josh Blake, the Country Gentlemen, Arco and My Morning Jacket. A new track pack of songs will be available after every four "Californication" episodes for $7.92. Showtime also will offer a video podcast on iTunes with behind-the-scenes interviews with the show's cast and producers.

I just saw episode 2 last night and the closing song was "Light of Day" and it fit really good.  It is a really cool song and a pretty wild show. It makes me happy that Tommy is in GNR because the guy is pure rock and roll....He seems kind of cocky but that is what makes him special too.

[J?]

he did a solo album called Village Gorilla Head which was quite good.

NOT QUITE GOOD! FUCKING AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Motivation hands down an amazing fucking song!

Well, I think this one is the member more ridiculous after Buckethead, his wear is pathetic, his performance is too boring (and his chorus sucks), Tommy should watch and learn legends of rock as Duff Mackagan, Steve Harris, Jason Newsted, Cliff Burton,etc...

Anyone know "The Replacement"?

Tommy doesn't need to watch and learn anybody, he is his own and a fucking legend in his own right.

buckethead isn't in the fucking band.

go somewhere else.

[CheapJon]

Why would someone want to "down buzz" on someone as humble as Tommy? Dude, learn some humility, it might just save you.

best quote ever from a very qualified source

Tommy Stinson

"There are people who say Keith Richards is the walking embodiment of rock-'n'-roll, but it's Tommy Stinson. And I know 'em both."

What more can be said, anyone who referenced Ry Cooter and the T-man, ... my new favorite Bass player ... (What Jim Bob used to say).

[madagas]

that guy worked pretty intimately with Bob Dylan too....nuff said
