All this time, I thought it was after the instrumental surf song by The Gamblers...

[quote author=Larry link=topic=19032.msg151035#msg151035 date=1393940786

By the way, The Red Rockers opened up for them.  Who??  Exactly.  Too bad it wasn't the red rocker Sammy Hagar.  I saw him opening up for the Scorpions Love Drive tour, same era at the Aragon Ballroom.  That was my second favorite show, or maybe a tie for first.  Sammy played four or five encores.  The Scorpions kept letting Hagar come out for more encores, so in turn the Scorpions played all their awesome older songs, plus most of Love Drive.

Huge U2 fan from way back (Ed and I have talked at length) - went through 3 copies of Live Under A Blood Red Sky in my Walkman back in... What 1985? Thank goodness "The Wall" had a lifetime guarantee!  smile

Finally saw them live during rehearsal for the Zoo TV tour. They practiced at Hersheypark stadium and semi-last minute decided to do a show to test their stage show live. It was awesome. They played their set list for the tour plus a bunch of older stuff that Bono said they don't really play live any more. Sunday Bloody Sunday, I Will Follow, New Years Day, etc.  My buddy and I were in the 2nd row center.

Larry - Red Rockers had a great hit called China. Still hear it often on satellite radio.

My name is the initials of my business name SC- Serious Cycles and part of my uncles old phone number 1101 that stuck in my head. Not sure exactly why though. I've used it as my email for years and I wasn't sure if I would remember my user name to log in so I used it. Not realizing It would be the name I would be known as in the future. Now I wish I picked something better.
I'm now curious to know if you guys changed your names what would you want them to be?

I started out as Ideal-Bob, because I bought my first Ideal 35 slider from JohnieG (now owned by Foos).

Then I learned there were other sliders made by other slider companies (Glasco, S&S, Quikold, etc).

So Kilroy suggested I become SliderBob instead of Ideal-Bob, so Jim B changed the name for me.

But really I should be called FlipperBob (also penned by JohnieG), because that's what I do.  Guilty as charged!

But I do collect other upright machines (2 Coke V81D's, 2 VMC Pepsi 81's, Faygo 81 Transitional, etc.).

University of Michigan alum and big fan; hence, mznb1u (maize and blue). The reason for the odd spelling is that is how I had to spell it to get a license plate for my car because mznblu was taken. That was my plate when I joined SMC. Based on the machines I have bought over the years I should probably be StonerTim because I have owned just as many Stoners as Coke machines.
