A pop-up to a slideshow of 4 images?

I read the article thinking I would probably get to come in and make fun of some of the designs. I saw two; they were both ok, actually, Sixx's was pretty good.

But Mr. HTML Monkey... YOU get five across the mouth. BAD CODER! NO!

Actually no, I won't be buying this one at all.

Yeah. A pop-up and a slideshow.

We also need the page to automatically play audio.

Perry Farrell and Nikki Sixx

It's still 1988 at the Mansion?

That said, think I'll cue up Nothing's Shocking right now.

Who buys the shiat anymore anyway? Any article that might have been remotely interesting was on Fark a month before this issue was printed. Like I give a crap about musicians in Playboy anyway.

Uhh no. Won't be buying it. And the redesigned logos are...in a word...boring. I sincerely hope that no one was paid for their efforts.


Oh, and I also must say this: Mick...I love ya man...but it's time for you to retire, dude. You look like death warmed over. He and Nikki are co-owners of the Motley Crue "business", so it's not like he would be hurting for money if he just stayed home.

I'll get it but probably not take it out of the wrapper.

(No I'm not gonna sell it on ebay, or just to be obnoxious - free lifetime subscription from a contest neener neener)

no pics of that tattoo artist chick nikki sixx is dating? how disappointing

Please Playboy, take your crappy photoshopped bottle-blonde silicon clones and your geriatric, not fooling anybody with his phony harem, patriarch and go gently into that dark night. More importantly, just go.

1) Bad porn

2) Shallow political and cultural views

3) Musical taste easily ten years out-of-date.

and

4) The deification of an 82 year old pimp.

No wonder they are going out of business.

what a worthles farking article.

Rock N Roll Playboy issue should be all about the lost Lita Ford pics from 1986.
They exist... I just know it.

@CRUDE

I read an interview with him a while back. He says the only problem is with his back. His hands still work fine, and as long as he can strap a guitar on and play, he's going to. He can still wail the fark out of a guitar. I say go for it.

I think the only time a musician should give up playing the music he loves is when he's dead and in the ground.

The two "re-done" bunnies though....yeah...nothing great. Maybe a "meh".

I wish I had a link to my old band's music, the actual professional one in which I recorded songs in a studio ( OK it was a warehouse but wow it really sounds good and we had some pros with awesome gear doing the 32-track taping ). But every time I see the name Parry Farrell I think of my D-bag singer.

He and I were oil and water. He wore makeup. I wore t-shirts. He was into fashion. I was into whatever-the-hell-was-kind-of-clean that day. He downed lattes. I drank beer or soda. He wanted all sorts of goth lyrics. I wanted lyrics about killing goths. We had utterly nothing in common. But somehow that band ( Boneback, that was the name, and I didn't even want that! ) went on to play for three years rocking the hell out of everyone, with most of the songs my creations, except the lyrics.

But trouble started. First, the singer became an egomaniac. Really bad. And when we got into the studio it was his idea to have had the band practice a song without me and then spring it on me expecting me to play it. Oh I nailed it ... after I nearly killed him. A song I had never heard before and they had practiced in secret. Wow. That's the way I get treated folks. All the time. Dunno why.

He then got totally tired of me telling him he's full of fark and should shut the fark up and his ideas for songs suck and don't even think of picking up a guitar you clownfarking dipwad ARGH! So he fired me, the guy who came up with most of the music. Then he fired the drummer, who couldn't click with the new bassists like we did in an almost freakishly psychic way that was sometimes frightening -- we were so tight we'd strangle someone, we were freaking GOOD. Then he fired his best friend, the guitarist.

Well Karma is a beyotch. The replacement musicians all had a meeting and fired HIM! Hhahahahahaha! And his girlfriend left him because he ran up thousands of dollars on phone sex lines -- and his ex-girlfriend is hotter than the sun! Oh man, I laugh and laugh and laugh about this fool. He called himself "Penny". I kid you not. He ruined my life, he really did, after I got fired from the band I lost everything, home, girlfriend, band, income, a way to not think of nuking the world and ridding it of humanity, stuff like that, but he got his due as well. So everytime I see Perry Fluffcake mentioned, who's the same egotistical heroin using farktard who thinks he's the band when he really isn't, I think of "Penny".

/ Singers suck. There is a formula. Singers ego = talent*2

Damn stroke took me out, I can't feel my hands and I fumble and flub now, but, I still try. Old bass player and damned stroke ate my memory and coordination. But I ain't giving up, ever, just not 100% anymore, not like I was anyway. Not playing in any bands but sometimes the urge comes over me, I plug into my computer and just start getting weird. I'm alot slower, but i can still do tripyy crap and come up with songs.

Then again about a month ago I made a punk tune about my paladin in WoW.

/ I'm coming to your town, gonna tear it down, gonna make you frown -- RETRIBUTION!

// ahhahahaha. The madness never leaves. Being a musician never leaves, ever, not even illness and lamentations and the horror of real life can take it away.

How do you know?

1) Playboy has NEVER been porn

2) Their views aren'tn shallow, just hard left.

3) You have them confused with Rolling Stone.

4) well...agreed.

I've subscribed to playboy for 15 years or so. Although I dont usually agree with thenm totally, their commentary is hardly "shallow". In fact, they saw the wiretapping administration as well as the economic meltdown well before it occured.

Outside your 4th point (which I not only agree with you on, I also find mildly repulsive.) it's fairly obvious that you dont read the magazine, nor know what you're talking about.

@CrazyCurt

I know the feeling about the lead singer. My last band had alot going for it, well, I thought. The drummer, guitarist and myself (bass) really clicked. The guitarist and me wrote all of the songs.

Our singer sucked though. He could scream, but he couldn't sing worth a damn. Plus, he thought he was God almighty on vocals and everything had to be his way. Our drummer finally joined a better band and I went on to play with the group I'm in now. The singer is really talented and a really good friend of mine. He doesn't have an ego at all, he just sings and has a good time. I think this band will do alright.

So, yeah... we're called Tailor Made Tragedy.

Good luck with your playing! Hope you can get your hands back up to speed.

You have a 'singer' you had a 'vocalist'

hmmm when did singers become vocalists?

Yeah, I used the term "singer" loosely with the first guy.

The guy in the new band is really good though. So yeah...he is definitely a singer.

I guess "singer" has become a catch-all term for vocalists and frontmen. Oh well.
