  20. I'm naming this one "Kirk Hammett" from Metallica

    I finally kinda figured out these emoticons for the forums.

  21. What are they scripts from that website?

    I'm naming this one "Kirk Hammett" from Metallica

    I met him once in Brucelles in Grafton Street , small, curley and brought his wife for protection

  22. Really, the furthest I got him was the mosh pits at the concerts.

    I'll list the scripts from the sites in a while, is the anyway of just uploading emoticon plug-ins into the website server.

    There just links to websites where I found them and are inserted as images. I think a plug-in is required for simpler ways of inserting the emoticons.

    You have to create a directory called /my-plugins/, copy this code into a file called whatever-you-want.php, upload and enjoy!

    Feedback appreciated! Maybe I can improve on this and increase my PHP/*press skills. ;)

  24. Thanks Darren, I'm not much on PHP so I'm still trying to figure out how you've got them into you comments

    I also met Cliff Burton three weeks before he died and even walked up to the SFX hall with him

    Posted 1 year ago #
  25. Wow. how cool is that. Cliff was probably there best bass player and Jason was pretty good too but I just don't like the new bassist Robert, he just doesn't suit the band at all I think.

    Posted 1 year ago #
  26. Cliff was the Jimmy Hendrix of bass, the best that ever was

    Posted 1 year ago #
  27. Especially with his base solo's, they were something else.

  28. You should have seen pulling teeth live, the guy played on for sometime, unbelievable.

    Posted 1 year ago #
  29. Is there any recordings of him playing pulling teeth on the net anywhere? Did you watch any of the Dvd's like "Cunning Stunts". Jason Newsted was the bassist at the time in it.
