"The Natural"
Wow, the web designer did a wonderful job on the sight. The side pop-out tool bar and navigation really make it slick. I do enjoy looking over all of the pictures. It even has the picture of Tim Sylvia and I when we went turkey hunting, and man was that a big one I snagged! That was a thirty yard shot in some thick brush! I also like how they included my bio so that people could understand how I had to climb the latter to get where I am now in the UFC. This sight also advertises my most recent fight that's coming up versus Brock Lesnar. I think it's going to be a great fight and I'm looking forward to testing myself and to find out if I've still got it. This fight will decide for me if I still belong in the UFC. The picture featuring my UFC edition Hummer isn't really nessisary in my eyes. After all, that's not what I'm all about. But if fans are interested in my personal life then I would be glad to display that information. Thanks to my fans this sight is possible, so any way I can give back to them is something I'm willing to do. My bio is also very well done. The only thing I can think of as a critique is to include some of my younger years and the things I was doing as a kid. The way a person grows up and the way they are raised has alot to do with who they become and I think that would be a valuable bit of info to include. You can view the sight here.

#1 Its the RHCP

MUSICIAN
This here is a picture featuring the Red Hot Chili Peppers. You could call them a funk/rock/punk/alternative band. They were one of the first bands to start combining these completely different music styles, Punk and Funk for instance. Flea, the bass player (second from the right), was associated with multiple bands when RHCP had got its start including Fear, which was a very heavy punk band that was popular in the LA music scene. Yet he and others from the band were also heavily influenced by Funk and soul bands such as Sly on The Family Stone. The sound mixture and style really got the attention of the public and was what really got them noticed in the music world. In my opinion if you introduce something that sounds new and revolutionary, it will receive attention and in this case that was true. Now the Chili Peppers play huge shows around the world and have many loyal fans, but were this sound mixture is most prevalent is in their earlier years and albums. From the right: John Frusciante, Flea, Anthony Kiedis, and Chad Smith.
PEER
These dudes up here are the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Their funky-ass starburst energy and music blows my ear hole! You probably wonder why they are naked and what I say to that is, WHY NOT?! These guys used to perform their music on stage with a tube socks covering their nuts and shlongs! No joke man, its for real and its bomb! Although to my slight disappointment they don't really do a bunch of crazy shit anymore but the music is still amazing. A lot of my favorite tunes lie in the older eras of the Chili Peppers, but I must throw out there that Kiedis (guy 3rd from the right) really improved his actual singing voice over time. Back then he kind of did raps in a way as well as some scatting along with some awesome voice variation. It screamed style man, screamed it. O and the bass lines that Flea (who's the guy second from the right) busts out freakin rule. The slapping and popping is funky as hell and the band would not be near the same without it!
