  • inactive, on 07/21/2008, -8/+110That was me.

    Now it's Zappa
  • stevieraveon, on 07/22/2008, -0/+94Or Nickleback or Daughtry
  • grungegbunny, on 07/21/2008, -8/+101"According to friends, Campa's newfound love of the band has caused him to behave in a "dicklick" fashion."
    Dugg for that line alone.
  • shupp, on 07/22/2008, -7/+99Dude.. this is 7 years old. I have the book already.
  • chuckDontSurf, on 07/21/2008, -6/+85I've known some "Doors" fans like this.
  • jaybol, on 07/22/2008, -2/+55it is just an article that i thought was funny that people could relate to, and it had never been submitted to digg.
  • blackrage, on 07/22/2008, -2/+44This article clearly hit a bit too close to home for seraph582.
  • Duncster, on 07/22/2008, -7/+47Sounds like him and his friends had a little bit of a "Communication Breakdown."
  • dtele, on 07/22/2008, -8/+46I thought I discovered Led Zeppelin
  • inactive, on 07/22/2008, -1/+34good call.
  • CobaltBlue, on 07/22/2008, -1/+32Think he's over Zeppelin yet?
  • Joest23, on 07/21/2008, -19/+49His friends are the real 'dicklicks'.
  • wiak2, on 07/22/2008, -2/+31This article is from 2001...
  • Narcism, on 07/22/2008, -2/+26I think I just read about you.
  • talkingwires, on 07/22/2008, -2/+24They did seven years ago, when this article was published.
  • RIAAagent, on 07/22/2008, -1/+21I was wondering why they were downloading a TRAILER to the first lord of the rings.
  • sebby2022, on 07/22/2008, -2/+22this was is 2001
  • gabellh, on 07/22/2008, -3/+21It was an OK story, nothing more special than any other Onion story.
    The best part is the quote from his friend where he says "...next to Dan" and then they put in [Alberman], just in case you weren't sure which Dan it was. Classic.
  • skaldicpoet9, on 07/22/2008, -0/+18Or had.
  • Jerryskid02, on 07/22/2008, -2/+18...you hate Zeppelin?
  • yellowswan, on 07/22/2008, -0/+15…And before that we simply looked at reprints of the Well-Tempered Clavier on sheets of vellum fresh off the Gutenberg Presses, imagining what it might sound like and actually devoting ourselves in the smallest of ways to the deeper enjoyment and understanding of music. Aspiring to someday write our own brilliant fugues.
  • Scopitone, on 07/22/2008, -3/+18Much like the band, this article is an ancient classic.
  • dn11, on 07/22/2008, -0/+14They've gotten tired of him "Rammbling On" perhaps?
  • dvddesign, on 07/22/2008, -3/+17Yeah, how is it that people have missed every "archive" article on the Onion for the last 9 years or so that it's been online and still considered a fan of the site?

    It's like being a Star Trek:TNG fan and not knowing who that "Q" fellow is.
  • mbrindam, on 07/22/2008, -2/+14Rush.
  • kevinwiz, on 07/22/2008, -1/+13I accept your apology.
  • chr00t, on 07/22/2008, -3/+14They need to crop Beavis into the pic w/him
  • insinuate, on 07/22/2008, -0/+11or its seven years old and we didn't really have ipods like wildfire now.
  • inactive, on 07/22/2008, -5/+16Luckily, I discovered the Beatles, the Doors, Jefferson Starship, Led Zeppelin, Floyd, and Aerosmith at the same time, so I never really bugged my friends with one set of classic rock.

    Although a year or so before that I was the Nirvana guy >>

    Too bad I couldn't find video anywhere.
  • vdubski, on 07/22/2008, -0/+10The whole Get The Led Out radio thing is on tons of stations around the country. Hell, most of the stations in the top radio markets are programmed by the same people anyways. It's all what the consultant tells them to play.
  • inactive, on 07/22/2008, -2/+11I did this once summer with Earth, Wind and Fire. I think my friends had nightmares with "September" as background music :D
  • Kakemonstere, on 07/22/2008, -2/+11Urban dictionary failed me!
  • ZiggyPlayedG, on 07/22/2008, -2/+11Here we go...

    Both bands are great. Please spare us the fanboy battle.
  • mlbwebdesign, on 07/22/2008, -7/+16Wow that's from the Web 1.0
  • Ilyanep, on 07/22/2008, -1/+10At least there's proof on this one, unlike a couple of the images floating around Digg from forever ago. "Oh well obviously not everyone has seen it."

    I thought Digg was a social /news/ website.
  • inactive, on 07/22/2008, -1/+9Or Insane Clown Posse.
  • TheChunt, on 07/22/2008, -6/+14"Just imagine if he walked around all day quoting Dark Side Of The Moon. Christ"

    God bless you Onion.
  • chr00t, on 07/22/2008, -12/+20It could be worse, I guess. He could've gotten into the Grateful Dead.
  • bimbom, on 07/22/2008, -3/+11lol @ "Gettin the Led Out." That used to be on WCKG 105.9. Go Chicagoland radio!
  • inactive, on 07/22/2008, -0/+8or Moby dick.



    ...wait?!? what?
  • sebby2022, on 07/22/2008, -1/+9I dugg you up but.....***** you
