godamn that's quite a loss

k-krack 08.30.2006 12:36 PM

ppffffft! none of those are worth anything! they could just buy new ones and still have enough for that chinchilla coat J wants.


(note the heavy sarcasm)

touch me i'm sick 08.30.2006 12:38 PM

i was about to give you a little slap.

k-krack 08.30.2006 12:41 PM

teehee. feel free
*wink.

bummer for DinoJr though. that sucks. at least its not as bad as poor SY went through.

***unless that is a partial list...

The Lung 08.30.2006 12:43 PM

Yeh I think that is just a small part of the stuff. Lou has had that Rickenbacker bass for ever, he must be beyond pissed

k-krack 08.30.2006 12:45 PM

rickenbacker basses kick ass.

king_buzzo 08.30.2006 12:49 PM

fucking hell that sucks. dinosaur is one of the greatest bands out there

michael71 08.30.2006 01:12 PM

Wow, that's a lot of good stuff gone missing! Why can't these things happen to U2 or Nickleback instead?

touch me i'm sick 08.30.2006 01:13 PM

word.

but then again their suff is worth shit

k-krack 08.30.2006 01:14 PM

because they only require like.. half a gtr to make them sound pleasing. although i saw a clip of u2's gtrs.. they got alot. and different amps too. so, someone burglarize those rich fucks. then donate it to aids research, so bono will shut his fucking trap.

nicfit 08.30.2006 02:14 PM

serve them right,ha ha!
just kidding,it's always an unpleasant thing to hear.
i wonder why they don't hire some security-man-with-shotgun to actually sleep into the trailer.i bet noone would risk their life to get stuff from there.and it must not be "so" pricey...or is it?
i bet also that "good" fans would volunteer to help bands thay love and do something like that for free.or am i wrong?i'd do it.

soniknirve 08.30.2006 03:37 PM

just hope they don't come back lookin like this :(


 

LittlePuppetBoy 08.30.2006 03:41 PM

Because no one wants they're equipment. Can you imagine actually having to handle a guitar that was touched by Chad Kroeger? EEEEEWWWW!

I was thinking the exact same thing. You never hear about crappy bands getting their equipment stolen? It's always good bands that get their shit stolen. SY and now Dino Jr? There's a serial stealer on the loose and we need to catch this motherfucker.

i actually prefer that guitar all ripped up.

it's a shame about the sparkly one with the gold pickguard, because it was neat.

Inhuman 08.30.2006 04:44 PM

FUCK! I hope the tour isn't cancelled... They're the main reason I'm going to Osheaga next to Sonic Youth. And I payed $90.00 for the ticket. Now watch they give K-OS an extended set because dinosaur's not playing...
