while i agree with the first part, i'd say SMOOTH by 'los santana and that guy from matchbox 20 is an all time banger with electric 'tar

NELLY features some prominent guitar in a few of his jams.

Nelly legit BANGER machine

All the talk of BANGERS and no mention of this song? For shame.

pitbull is truly a god to have collabed w/kesha and still produced a banger

Me:

agree

Had a 3 martini lunch earlier now heading to a crawfish boil. It’s a beautiful 74* and not a cloud in the sky. Happy friday bros.

I've been in FLORIDA and it's been sunny with a high of 70 low of 50 lately, so ****ing lit

I really don't understand what anyone who isn't filled with teenage angst and hormones gets from this style of music. I remember enjoying the release I got from korn and slipknot when I was 15 but I don't think I've ever wanted to listen to them since i got through puberty.

I clicked it cos I thought from the title it might be from the SOULS project which was a bunch of songs made by guy who took the vocals recorded by another guy who, in the 30's traveled America asking everyone he came across to sing something for him and then made the best of them into actual decent tracks.

Some people like different stuff. You being confused that someone likes a certain genre is confusing.

Random thoughts on a Saturday night:

R Kelly is a freak and a very weird dude(and possibly a sexual predator), but he put out some bangers

For a complete trash tv show, Baywatch has an elite theme song

Being born as a white American male in 1943 would put you in position to on average across the entire income spectrum have the easiest life experience in human history to date.

In Space Jam 2 Lebron passes the ball to Bugs Bunny instead of taking the game winning shot with the fate of humanity on the line.

Draft eligible for 'Nam though.

rich enough to buy bone spurs in your feet though.

Draft eligible started with those born in 44 I thought?

Pretty sure we'd know if Clark went to Nam

That's next on the list.

Just a continual DUNKFEST in here

What do you guys do about friends who just get blackout drunk all the time?

Tonight we went out for a friend's 30th and he got to a point where he could barely stand on his own. Me and a friend managed to get him home when we had to leave the bar and get in an Uber with him.

Last week I did the same thing where one of my best friends from college took the opportunity of the Michigan buzzer beater to go shirtless at the bar (he's not in shape btw) and keep buying shots until we had to physically step between him and the waitress to stop him from buying more.

I guess I just don't know how to handle these situations before or while they happen, or how to handle them on things like my Bachelor Party where my brother and friends will be buying me shots continuously. I am totally fine with getting after it and drinking (I'm pretty drunk while typing this up) but I never want to get to the point where other people have to take care of me and it becomes no fun for anyone.

If you go out with them regularly, be honest about it. Tell them it's a drag having to look after them and they need to sort their **** out. Steer clear of lecturing or telling them what they should do. Focus on your side of the story and what your problem with it is.

Similarly, at your bachelor party, if you reach your limit, just say you're done drinking for the moment. If anyone gets in your face about it, get back in theirs, loudly.

In general for problems between men, just laying it out honestly, preferably 1 on 1, is the way to go.

I'd just stop being friends with them.

Last night I was hanging out with my brother and neighbor from childhood (basically brother) and my brother was planning on going out with friends from college he hadn't seen in a while.

My neighbor was gonna go with him and my brother was saying he was probably gonna get blackout drunk, etc. and trying to get my neighbor to want to do it with him. My neighbor was very clear that "nah, I'm not doing that... I'm not doing shots... I don't like drinking like that anymore.." And hearing that he wasn't even open to the idea and was just not gonna go along with it no matter what kinda made my brother reconsider and we all ended up going out to get a few drinks and food at a restaurant instead. My brother ended up being too tired to go out after.

I feel like discussing it beforehand with people and setting the mood early is the best way. Once the alcohol gets flowing it's gonna be fairly impossible to stop them. Having the conversation before the night starts as to both your expectations and what will be the most enjoyable for everyone will help influence them after.

That dude who used the Michigan buzzer beater to pound shots was clearly always intending to find a reason to get out of control. Perhaps had you talked about your desire to not get that type of drunk and that he shouldn't want to either, it would have become A shot instead if Shots.

But alcoholics gonna alcoholic so at the end of the day if pregame pep talks don't work and they are willing to be the only one on their level as the night goes on you should just avoid them on weekends.
