Not by musicians, any good musician knows roky but he was not well known. I would think if there was one song people would know it would be Your gonna miss me. That was a good tune!

Roky also did this rare song on the Return of th Living Dead soundtrack! So did the Damned!!

Hey... How about them Lakers...haha!! just kidding!

I guess sense when i got the record when I was a kid it seemed rare because I never heard it or saw it back then. Haven been up on my Roky stuff since I was a kid. I thought your pic was Nick Drake though ... So what the fuck do I know!!

On the Side I think I am still pissed about the 1976 finals and Ange fucking up the 1993 finals so I kinda hold a grudge. I actually Hate the Lakers.

Also, i love how the lakers got there fouls this game, i am happy for them. Rather funny you did not see doc rivers or the celtics crying about the ref's as Jackson and Kobe did the other night.

Another point, The lakers won by 6pts and Garnett and Pearce played like shit......I would not count on the happening every game. lol....I am not even worried in the least about this series, After last night. If anything I feel even better about the cletics winning in LA

Black Mamba style is what you saw last night - Kobe tearing the Celtics up and taking over in the fourth quarter. Symptoms from a black mamba strike include dizziness, dehydration, and losing. Central nervous system shuts down, Celtics blood pressure rises, and balls tighten up 'cause game 4 is coming up!

The calls weren't nearly as bad as they were in Boston. Odom played like shit, and Gasol didn't step up - The Celtics got beat by a guy with a string around his head. And it wasn't too long ago that Boston nearly blew a seventeen point lead or whatever in their own house, in the fourth quarter.

But whatever. As a Lakers fan, I was shitting bricks that whole game 3. So I'm...Still worried, hah. I swear to fucking Christ, Gasol and Odom need to fucking learn how to fucking DUNK. And Radmonavic needs to suck less. Quick.

But, be forewarned - THE BLACK MAMBA LIVES.

They use Vlad wrong he should be used like Dirk with and outside in game. His shots from the outside when he was in Seattle were amazing. I just don't know if he fits in the Triangle.

There in no way The lakers are even close to the celtics all around. If you have not seen that this season or in this round of the playoffs your mistaken. I do not understand the "The Refs sucked that why we lost excuse". Did you hear Doc or the Celtics complain about last nights calls? Phil Jackson is a baby and has not been able to win a championship by starting from scratch. He has always had superstars to work with in all of his Championship teams. He is not a great coach, he had great players. As for him as a player he was not that good at all, He was a role player at best.

And comparing Kobe to Jordan is a insult to Mike. Not saying you said that but i been hearing that for the past week. He is not even close to Jordan. Jordan won 6 championships, 5 MVP's and averaged 5pts more a game in his career. Jordan also won those championships becuase he was the best in the game and he played with a lot of people he made good. Kobe would not of won shit if it was not for shaq. Kobe still will not win this year either. Lakers are finnaly seeing what happens when you play against a team thats the best d-fense in the league. This series will be over in no more than 6 games, celts by defensive domination.

I disagree as far as Phill not being a great coach. The way he somehow inspires his teams to play great defense is extraordinary IMO and besides the superstar players a team has, a team is only as good as their offense and Phill has proven that his triangle is the shit and seemingly always gives his teams a chance to win until his superstar players have to take center stage.

Even when Jordan left the Bulls made it to the eastern conference finals.

I agree totally! Jordan didn't have nearly the supporting cast that Kobe was always lucky enough to have. All Jordan had was Pippen, and the rest were mediocre at best, with the exception of Rodman. But all he does is rebound.

Jordan made that team better, period, but even that wasn't enough many times as he had to single handedly take over games and scorch the opposition, whether it was shooting their eyes out or ducking on half their team. Good luck on finding another Jordan. Not even Lebron is as dominant and most people say Lebron is the best in the leage right now.

I personally think Labron is a more complete player than Kobe is.

Until Lebron can actually finish a game and make shots in the clutch he'll always be a step behind Kobe.

As far as Kobe/Jordan, Jordan was a much smarter player than Kobe and was better at running his offence and making his teamates better. But on straight talent and physicall ability you can compare Kobe to Jordan, Kobe's Defence is better and there both clutch, good at drawing fools, great jumpshots, and great driving. You couldn't put Kobe on Jordan's level yet but when its all said and done it could be close.

Everyone is talking about how Garnett and Pierce didn't show up last night, yet Odom and Gasol haven't shown up at all this whole series. If Phil can get those guys active this could be a whole new series. If not just wait till next year when we get Bynum back.

How do you figure Kobe has better defense?

There is absolutely nothing Kobe bryant does better than Jordan and here's the career stat comparison:

Kebe Bryant- Career -- G 866, GS 718, MPG 36.5, FG% 0.453, 3P% 0.340, FT% 0.839, OFF 1.2, DEF 4.1, RPG 5.3, APG 4.6, SPG 1.5, BPG 0.5, TO 2.94, PF 2.70, PPG 25.0

Micheal Jordan- CAREER G 1,072, GS 1,039, MPG 38.3, FG% .497, 3P% .327, FT% .835, OFF 1.60, DEF 4.70 RPG 6.20, APG 5.3, SPG 2.35, BPG .83, TO 2.73, PF 2.60, PPG 30.1

Jordan averaged more steals and blocks a game compared to Kobe, how is Kobe better defensively?

These stats accually clearly show that Kobe isn't on Jordans level, hell, nobody is!
