One of the best things about t'internet is if an old album or band name randomly pops into your head, you can usually track it down. Today for me it was Lauren Smoken, when for some reason I remembered her from a 1989 Kerrang! interview. I'd never heard her music but Youtube showed me I've been miss...

I'm not racist, except for the French. Everyone hates the French, even Psychobolia. There's a British phrase (which probably exists in translation in other languages), "France is wasted on the French".

(Actually, they're usually OK. I'm going there again next month.)

For many Yanks, fine dining = eating your Taco Bell at a table rather than in a car or on the couch.

Per Wiki & I hope it's true - "War Inside My Head" was originally written by guitarist Jon Nelson. He traded the rights for "War Inside My Head" for a Flying V guitar after he left the band. He's a total right-wing Trumptard these days. The kind of guy who trades his publish...

I've heard some great things about Spain and Portugal. Although Spain, I suspect, is probably tired of the Brits invasion, and would be just as tired of a US invasion. Good luck though whatever you do. Would not mind living in Paris someday. 8) Dont the brits have to go home, cause of Brexit? I've ...

Over in our little humble hole in the wall on the internet called Electric Eye resides the preeminent Danzig expert. Someone who has engaged in ongoing and in depth studies and this is what he opines on the subject... I remember flicking through the "Danzig studies" thread on Spooge, or w...

Was my aunt's. She was a huge fan and managed to score his autograph during a Vegas show.

You win.

IMO Albini had the most undeserved reputation as a "massive prick" ever. He was just one of those dudes who did things his way, but coming from the place of an idealistic notion of what's right. So he didn't waver, and had no problems voicing it. He wasn't one of those "miserable ass...

What happened? He changed from playing a character to being a cliché, he forgot how to write songs and he sacked the entire band.

Apart from that, not much.

On LP, the first two Boss Hog albums and the picture discs of Seventh Son (with banner), Master of Puppets and Leprosy can get reasonable coin but (here's one for Ham Stroker) I was shocked to find my Bolt Thrower - Realm of Chaos gatefold with a comic insert is worth +£100.

I see what you did there.

But Wendy was and is still known for the Plasmatics, not for It's My Life or anything else on that album.

Another delayed reaction by Sleepy Biden.

I just asked a few people of value... about this label... And oddly... I immediately got 3-4 replies, ALL bad... ALL not good... ALL having issues with them. Sounds like it's not a singular issue with just 1 band... oh well... anyone who is working with this label, be prepared to get F#@ked over! $...

Not really. Anybody who eats McD's every day for a fucking month is going to get fat as a fucking pig and probably drop dead from a heart attack at age 30. Common sense. No! It's their genes!

XYZ - s/t and Hungery (1991) The s/t would be high on my list too but I wasn't sure if they made it to C list. Same with the Saigon Kick debut.

I saw this in the morning before work and I thought it looked suspect but who cares at this point. Vince looks a lot better and this is an awesome song for the Crüe to play again! It is what it is I’m just glad they’re out there. Doesn’t bother me it the vocals are piped in or not Crüe is still aro...

Funk metal sucked from start to finish, except the first two Living Colour albums and (from the few songs I heard) Fishbone. If I never hear RHCP again it'll be too soon.

Same!

I've been saying it since the start. And I still think a lot of it reads like ChatGPT. A bit too textbook, even allowing for alleged 'English as a 2nd language'. E

DISILLUSION. One of the greatest albums ever made by anybody. Thunder in the East is also excellent. Getting rid of Minoru and replacing him with Vescera is the biggest mistake they ever made. Don't listen to that guy Yes, yes and yes. Disillusion is the best "heavy metal" album you could...

Not my area of music at all but I really enjoyed it. Except that lyric videos suck in general and I could have done without the bible quote at the end - are you Xtian Country?

Also I was initially disappointed it wasn't a cover of the Loudness classic:

I couln't get a real insight into the whole thing because of the Carnation Revolution celebrations here, A belated happy independence day.

Given that plenty of Sludgers live in an alternative musical reality, I'm waiting for the poster that genuinely thinks Grohl is just a hack that got lucky and can't hold a candle to Blotzer's talent.

"Unalived" is so fucking stupid. Death, no matter the reason, is a part of life. If you're such a fucking pussy that you can't even hear the word "suicide," "murdered," "killed," etc, without breaking down, go unalive yourself. Everyone dies. It sucks. Suicid...
