"AND EVERY ONE WHO TALKS S**T ABOUT THEM ARE fa**otED MAGGOTS COS THEY RULE!"
Funny, I'm listening Halford who is in your words a "fa**ot" and he rocks at least a million times harder. So... I guess I'd rather be a "fa**oted maggot" than a Bullet For My Valentine. I agree with you on one thing though, they should go to Perth. Permanantly.

hahahha Diamond thats fantastic.....couldnt have put it better myself....but seriously, bullet for my valentine is for 13 year old girls and guys who wish they were 13 year old girls. im sure your parents dont understand u, and neither do the kids in ur study hall rockgoddez, but that band is f***ing putrid dog sh** cooking on top of a rusty radiator. just keeping the tradition of bashing people who disagree with my music taste alive....now go "cut your wrists and black your eyes" goddezz

Just be sure to pack the house. There's nothing more embarassing than to show up to see your favorite band in an empty club. Hopefully High On Fire understood that the weather was atrocious. The played a decent set albeit maybe shortened (not sure here).
The weather was simply awful that night. -4 degrees F and 10 mph on an interstate covered with ice and crashed cars. I thought about turning around but I already had bought the tickets and thought High On Fire might not ever make it to Iowa again. I think about 150 frozen fans showed up that night.

Kali: Regardless of the scene, don't trust em. The scene is vastly different from state to state, yet lest we not forget I have played up and down both coasts and much of the midwest and that little fact rings true wherever you go. I still think the club in Jersey set us up to get our equipment stolen and they are/were a world renowned club.

BoltThrower - Your from Iowa...?? Damn, another Iowan around the MU huh..?
Weird..!! What part of the state are you in..? Im in the extreme NE corner..!!
Hey, didnt I read in a chatroom awhile back, that your a Raider fan..??
I happen to be a die hard Cheifs fan... ( Not really proud of that lately ;-)
Fastway - Change

Yeah. I'm still a proud Raider fan, but I've never been a proud Iowan. I'm just a displaced Oregonian that can't find his way home. I've been in CR since 1998. Actually, my mom was born in Iowa so I do have some roots other than merely employment.
The NE corner sounds a bit like Dubuque? I'm not that good with Iowa geography. There are way too many towns to keep track of.

Bolt - Um... Yes, in fact I spent most of my childhood in Decorah... and now live about 20 miles east of there... Only a matter of a few miles from the Ol Miss..!!
Im originally from the town of Independence..(which is right down close to you )
CR huh..? Damn, I seen ALOT of excellent shows at the Five Seasons Center back in the 80s... Its not even called that anymore tho... lol
As for seeing the Exodus show in Waterloo..?? Nope.., but I am truly hoping to get the chance to see the BLS/Sevendust/Dope show at the end of the month..?!!
Although, I might be back on the road by then... Damnit..!!
Now smelling - Sketti sauce simmering on the stove... MMMmmm... its time to start the noodles and garlic bread..!!

So in my usual job hunt in the downtown square, I talked to a very interesting elderly couple. It was kinda different... I was just sitting there, filling out some papers at a Tim Hortons, and we started chatting.. it's amazing what you can learn from locals! I now know of a few new places that are opening... and they'll probably be hiring. :D
And on the topic of old people... when I went back to that same Timmy's later, some middle-aged man sitting at the table was being such a creeper :| He was telling me that I was gorgeous and very beautiful, then he started speaking to me in some South American type of language, and I was reaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaally creeped out. YUCK! I didn't even say anything... I just smiled awkwardly and left. Urggghh....
30. writes:
Yeah that is kinda creepy. Something like that happened to me when I went to take a sh** in town and the cleaner wouldn't leave the cubicle and start speaking some language from f*** knows where with the only with the only words of English being "f***" and "sh**". Then he pointed at the toilet seat and said "Have a nice day" or something. Bloody weird.

The closest I got to doing something like what Kali's doing was when I supported Bill Blaikie, and let me tell you, that was something I deeply regret :P Lol @ Bill:
"Blaikie has a Bachelor of Arts degree in Philosophy and Religious Studies from the University of Winnipeg (1973), and a Master of Divinity from Emmanuel College, Toronto School of Theology (1977). He was ordained a minister in the United Church of Canada on June 4, 1978, and subsequently became a politician in the social gospel tradition of such figures as J.S. Woodsworth and Stanley Knowles.[2] From 1977 to 1979, he worked for the United Church's inner-city Stella Project in north-end Winnipeg.[3]"
Good luck though, Kali.

Me too. History shows that the second album is usually better than the first:
Metallica: Ride the Lightning much better than Kill'em All
Slayer: Umm, actually the third album was the best--Reign In Blood over Show No Mercy over Hell Awaits
Megadeth: Peace Sells over Killing Is My Business
Trouble: The Skull over Psalm 9 (damn, close call there)
Candlemass: Nightfall over Epicus Doomicus Metallicus
Testament: The New Order over The Legacy (actually a toss up)
Bolt Thrower: Realm Of Chaos over In Battle There Is No Law
High On Fire: Surrounded By Thieves over The Art Of Self Defense
48. writes:
Nightfall over Epicus Doomicus Metallicus?! I haven't actually heard Nightfall but can't imagine anything topping it! I must check it out... yeah and I prefer The Skull too, someday I need to write a review for the Metal Archives to show that mongol who gave it a bad review.
But yes you're on the money BoltThrower - if you look at the career of Sepultura, Metallica, Megadeth, Kreator etc you can see many parallels.
49. writes:
Nightfall is the master stone of doom. From Gothic Stone to Black Candles...10 tracks of the heaviest doom ever compiled on one single slab. If I were to epitomize doom on one album, I'd say it would have to be Nightfall. Anybody claiming to be a metal fan needs to own this album. DOOM PERFECTED.

I finally got to spend some good quality time with my best friend after us being busy (we usually cannot spend a day apart without going nuts lol). I missed that girl. That made me really happy :)
Also, on the topic of Candlemass, I always thought the girl in the Bewitched video was a little odd. I mean there's a bunch of dudes drooling right by her and she's just standing... If I were that b**** I'd have ran for my life Lol.

Why the heck would he blame you for his problems at work? That seems pretty immature.
Also, I don't know what the f*** is wrong with employers here but I've said I wanted to work PART time, not full time at this point... a security company called me and said they wanted me FULL time. WTF is wrong with these people, are they retarded? I want PARRRTT time. Seriously those dudes must not be able to read.

Once there was a wise warrior who found a horse...

One day, the horse dropped him and broke his leg...
Everyone in town said what an UNLUCKY man he was...
Then there was a great battle, and every warrior died except him because he had a broken leg

Kali, we may not get along well but I can really say this dude sounds like a major douchebag (I've ended up with several douchebags - romantically and as "friends") and you should remember that no matter what, you can't change some people. You probably already know that, but reaffirmation is always a good thing. Also, I don't see how you could've been to blame for his problems at work. He has no one to blame but himself.

99. writes:
It seems that every fellow I have been with starts off as a gentleman, then shows their true colours later. Either I suck at the whole romance thing, or someone's out there just to make sure I end up with douchebags. :P Sometimes I feel absolutely clueless. Maybe I'm in the wrong city, hehe.

So a buddy of mine is in bootcamp to become a Navy SEAL, and I'm thinking how the f*** am I gonna pull an April Fool's gag on him on April Fool's if he's at bootcamp.. :P Maybe I should send him a fake letter that me and his girlfriend became lesbian lovers, then at the end "APRIL FOOLS!"



115. writes:
lol I just made a big burn on him to his girlfriend... that was stupid of me. Who knows what kind of revenge a sailor would partake in. She basically said "Urgggh I have so much work to do for college." And I said "Well, you could always drop out and become a Navy SEAL." LOL

godlike: Yep, Disturbing The Priest is absolutely epic. I had it cranked in the office this morning because i'm usually the first one here and one of my co-workers came in early (unexpectedly) and she was horrified by Ian's laugh. lol. It's really too bad that Ian only stuck around for just one album. He has a great voice for their style.
128. writes:
Bg1 - Yes Indeed, Ian sounds great on that album.!!
Ive been doing some research into the whole Sabbath with other singers thing... It seems that Tony Iommi always wanted the named changed when they switched singers, but management wouldnt allow it..!
That was part of the rift that started between Gillan the rest of the boys after that album... besides that Ian Gillan HATED the album cover....and it just snowballed from there... From what Ive read, it seems like the tour was a disaster from the beginning..??
ap1 - Oddly enough... Ive decided to move to Tuscon, AZ...!! I recently got to know this really cool mofo online...and he has me convinced that, its the place to be ;-)
Now watching - Sex Drive


135. writes:
Bg1 - Yeah, there is quite alot of footage on Youtube from that tour... I think it sounds great..!! Although some of the songs, shouldnt have been sung by Gillen... There is a version of him doing Neon Knights that sounds horrendous....!!
As a whole the members describe it as a disaster..!!
Supposedly when they were building the set (Stonehenge) the contractor wrote down the directions wrong... Instead of the monuments being 15 feet tall.... He wrote it down as 15 meters tall..?? So the story is that most of the set wasnt even able to be used in alot of places..??
Obviously thats where the idea came from for the movie Spinal Tap..??

Kali: Damn... Here we go again. lol.
godlike: There was no stonehenge at the show I saw, but they did have the usual crosses, one of which was about 20 feet tall and full of strobe lights. When that thing went off for the first time it was such an assault on the senses that I actually felt sick to my stomach for a few minutes. They also had the creepy little red midget running around with the diaper on. lol. It's been so long ago, that I can't recall all the classic stuff that he did, but I do remeber thinking that when he did Paranoid it sounded heavier.

Bg1 - Spacetruckin has always been a favorite Deep Purple tune... from that era anyway...!
I really enjoyed some of the stuff off of there reunion album in the 80s.... "Knockin at your Backdoor" and "Perfect Strangers" are great tunes...!!
Kali - You always seem to make it so hard for me.? ;-)

I've been using "douche rocket" now thanks to BG. You're evil! :O I called my buddy that and he was like "wtf" :P
Oh god this meat thing again... *closes and covers innocent eyes* haha
I had a BIG argument with my mom and brother earlier... I'm glad that's over. I'm just doing what I can do keep my spirits up... no use in sobbing :)
Also, I have a buddy who is somewhat younger than me, and his older brother thinks I'm encouraging him to do things to piss him off. I said HEY he's your brother. Seriously, lol @ young white males. Too cute.

I think I read They Thirst long, long ago, but couldnt remember the author. The most recent horror I've read has been "Necronomicon" and "Alhazred" by Donald Tyson. He is a occult non-fiction writer who decided to write fake accountings of the Necronomicon and the Mad Arab from a non-fiction standpoint if that makes sense. It's all made up but written as if it's a real book. Very cool stuff, but you get a weird feeling like you are reading things man was not meant to know :)
164. writes:
Netro - Yeah, "They Thirst" was written in the 80s... ( that would be long long ago..? lol )
The book I mentioned named Wolf's Hour is quite cool... Its the story of a master spy/werewolf that is dropped behind enemy lines to disrupt Nazi plans during WWII...!!
I think I might have to be checkin out this Donald Tysons writings... It does sound quite interesting.!!
Kali - Just let me know where that room is OK ? ;-)
Bruno - Damn glad to read ya bro..!! So, did you get that email I sent ya a couple weeks ago... I attached a couple tunes to the email... Just wanted to make sure it got to ya..?
Red - Workin on that reply/email this afternoon..!!

Damn internet is SO slow... Its only been a couple hours and I miss my highspeed so much..!!
Mediacom tells me that a fiberoptic cable was severed somewhere around Chicago but they havent pinpointed the exact location yet..!! F^CK..!!

Hey BlindGreed, Harold Schecter is a good author for grisly true crime. His topics are typically overused though: Albert Fish, Howard H. Holmes, Ed Gein, etc.
If you want the dark, I prefer the classics: Lovecraft and Poe, but I suppose they get overused as well.
168. writes:
Yeah, I bought the Necronomicon just from the references in the Evil Dead series. Kinda hokey if you ask me but I'm rather skeptical when it comes to summoning up weird things. I'm even turning skeptical that most of the weird things I grew up thinking were real actually aren't.
For off-the-wall topics you might try Zechariah Sitchin's The Stairway To Heaven. It's about the whole ancient astronaut psuedo-science. Interesting, but still hokey. These aliens could space-travel and genetically engineer man but couldn't mine their own gold.

Godlike- I have been meaning to get back to for a week or two now. Unfortunately I haven't even had a chance to listen to those songs! I am basically working extra days and hours to keep my job, my truck broke down so I am bumming rides to work, also in the process of moving, threw a going away party over the weekend because my buddy turned himself over to the authorities yesterday.....blah, blah, blah....so unfortunately I barely even have time to wipe my ass. (which I regret come laundry time).
How have you been my friend?
171. writes:
The Necronomicon the bookstores sell is a fake. Donald Tyson decided to write a story as if it were real. Telling about the rituals and the history of Alhazred. Lovecraft himself stated he made it up, along with several other tomes from his stories, The Book of Eibon, Unaussprechlichen Kulten, De Vermiis Mysteriis, The King in Yellow. The ideas behind the Necronomicon were probably taken from the Egyptian Book of the Dead, the Bardo Thodol and the Malleus Malificarum, although Lovecraft said he dreamed of it. The Necronomicon ex Mortis from Evil Dead was based on Lovecraft's book.

Godlike if you wanna read the full Batman "porno" I wrote it's on my Myspace page. Twatman must team up with his once nemesis Scatwoman to defeat such menacing foes as The Choker, Mr. Sleaze, Killer c***, Two Fist, The Mad Twatter and many more!
By the way if you expect a really good erotic story you'll be in for a disapointment. Expect pure bull sh**!

So I just got home a little while ago... it was an interesting day. A particular good part is that I have a good chance at a job with a Mexican employer. This dude was so awesome, and the Mexican women that worked with him were really nice. What happened was their debit machine wasn't working, so I fixed it... then eventually asked if they're hiring. He told me to bring my resume tomorrow :D

SEALs have to be intelligent. Case in point:
A native village encompasses a roughly circular area of 1/2 square mile and your buddies are just outside the perimeter of the village. An ounce of C4 is capable of destroying a circular area of roughly 25 square feet. How much C4 must you plant in the middle of the village to kill all the villagers and not kill your buddies?
I'll post the answer later.

AP @ 252: At this point I have decided to delay the matter due to personal issues which must be resolved first for my physical safety to be secured. I have a feeling that with my current personal situation, I must delay leaving the city to join the military until probably summer of next year or fall of next year. What I need to do right now is only known to some.
Funny thing, I saw my old friend Nyam (the short version of her very long, complicated name) who is this big, Amazonian-like black woman and she said she was planning to join the military. I was like "WHAT, YOU TOO?!" and we had a loooooooooooooooooooooooong discussion. :P
