**Well, there aren’t many bigger Led Zeppelin fans than your truly, but Jimmy Page is a pedophilic cokehead . . . **

Wow. I knew about the drugs, but not the pedophilia! When was this?

**That’s what I was saying…that he brought her into the band BECAUSE they were involved and he was cheating on his wife with her. **

And that’s the part where you’re wrong. Well, the individual clauses of your sentence are correct, but the implied connection is wrong. Let me illustrate with a timeline.
Summer 1984: Patty Scialfa added to E-Street band prior to start of tour. Springsteen single and never been married.
Late October/Early November 1984: Springsteen meets Julianne Phillips backstage after a show at the LA Sports Arena. Don’t know the exact date. It was a 7 show stand (My ticket stub says October 28)
May 13, 1985: Bruce marries Julianne Phillips (cite here:IMBD) after what is hyped in the music press and tabloids as a whirlwind 8 month romance.

So… the first part of your statement may or may not be true (Scailfa brought into band because they were involved. Who knows, maybe he really thought they needed a female backup singer). The second part is admittedly true (cheated on wife). However, the implication that he brought Scialfa into the band for the purposes of getting nookie behind his wife’s back is flat out impossible, for the simple reason that he was not married, nor had he even met his first wife at the time Scialfa joined the band.

Sorry to be so anal, but if you’re gonna call someone a scumbag, at least call them a scumbag for the right reason. (Cheating on your wife is scummy enough without the enhanced story)

**Ulrich definitely seems like a jackass but Hetfield lives in the same town as my parents (Novato, California) and I met him once at the farmer’s market. I basically just met him cold: “Hey! You’re James Hetfield, aren’t cha?” We carried on about a 10-15 min conversation. Seemed like a really down-to-earth, friendly, intelligent, cool guy. I was quite surprised, especially considering how HUGE Metallica is (worldwide) and how many random fans he’s probably met.

YMMV, of course. **

i met Lars here in MY farmers market (seattle)
I asked for his autograph and he was really nice…even drew a little picture for me.
we didn’t get a chance to chat, tho’. he was on his cellphone.

Stewart Copeland, drummer for the Police. Very full of himself.

If I may indulge in a joke…

Someone calls Buddy Rich’s house and asks for Buddy. His wife answers and politely explains that Buddy has passed away. The next day, the same caller calls again asking if Buddy is there. She again politely says that she is sorry but Buddy is dead. The next day, the caller calls and asks “Is buddy there?” Annoyed, Mr Rich says “Look, I told you. Buddy is not here, he is dead!” The caller replies, “Oh, I know. I just never get tired of hearing it.”

Sorry:)
