An old college friend of his getting married, took their fraternity brothers to The world famous "Big Al's" strip club for the bachelor party, the strippers tipped Nevin for lap dances.

Why don't we cut to the chase here?

Here is Michelangelo's famous painting of Nevin - but which one is him?

the answer is easy young grasshopper, but i will not rob you of your learning. do remember this, knowing which one is not as important as knowing that theres a little bit of nevin in all of us.

I'm waiting for Nevin to tell us that he can't be the one on the left (Adam) for a very obvious reason. But I'll leave him to make that particular boast. And we'll need to hear from the ladies whether what he claims is true or not.

Legend - or myth...?

:lol: :lol: :lol:

after years of careful study, a breakthrough of sorts ( it wasn't completely unexpected ) amongst the largest global research group in whale studies, when those largest mammals in the world sing to each other across those hundreds of miles of deep ocean, they are singing; Nevin... over and over to each other, the changes in pitch and timing result in more subtle affects.

Nevin once reprimanded Chuck Norris for dropping litter in the street, Norris became abusive and challenged Nevin to a death match, after 2hrs in which Norris failed to land a single blow,Nevin made the exhausted Norris pick up every peice of litter with his butt cheeks

I just can't get past that one.
I just keep laughing....
LOL!!!
It's the definitive response!!!

Thanks Capo!


Hehe, it was either that one or Nevin stopped playing surf music after 2004 when a concert in India resulted in a Tsunami. >_> Not as good IMHO
Anyhow, more because I have nothing better to think about during my day ^^
In an interview with John Lennon in 1966, he is famously quoted as saying, "We're more popular than Jesus now; I don't know which will go first - rock 'n' roll or Christianity." He later went on to correct himself, "I'm sorry, Nevin is always first, I just don't know what comes after that."
Nevin once tried to intentionally screw up a song. Thus the guitar solo as we know it today was born.
What is the meaning of life? The answer is Nevin.
Nevin's current house is simply referred to as The House of Nevin, often shortened to the more common word, heaven.
Slide guitar was invented when a young artist was trying different ways to imitate Nevin's legendary bends.
Eddie Van Halen got his inspiration for Eruption when he was listening to one of Nevin's slower ballads.

its been said that when this thread finally comes to a close
the term "thank God" will be officially changed to "thank Nevin".
the excuse "the devil made me do it" has already been changed to
"Nevin made me do it" in 12 countries.

Has anyone ever seen a picture of Nevin? Maybe it's impossible to capture his image with today's film technology!! Sometime in the future perhaps!!

Apparently Nevin's likeness mysteriously appeared on a window in a Salt Lake City,Utah McDonalds and the faithful from all over North America are heading there in hopes that will be blessed with the ability to play his incredible riffs by making a pilgrimage to the impromptu shrine.
