Has anyone mentioned the family structure - in the US - during the 70s and how vastly different it is today? My dad worked, my mom stayed home, and did mom things, as did most, if not all of my friends. He was a manager of a successful hotel in the city, so we were considered upper middle-class. We...

I only rewatch stuff when I don't want to pay 100% attention.
That happens a lot more lately.

Yeah, fuck Ohio.

I can't miss an opportunity to hop on the 'FUCK OHIO' bandwagon. FUCK THAT PLACE!

I've never been to Ohio, but is doesn't sound great.
I feel like it it's a decade or two behind.

Somehow the world has elevated this marginally talent asshat to legendary status. Based on what?

His horrible behavior on stage and off.

So he strangled a cat to death, then went on to stab his girlfriend to death. What a shock.

Yeah, he was a nightmare.

UFO were huge in the 70's. Not in the US, other than some patches of the Midwest. "Lights Out" was the closest they ever came to being relevant. Even then, they were still an opening act. That being said, compared to Angel, they were Led.Zeppelin. That's not how I remember it as a tween/t...

Definitely UFO. Nobody I know gives a shit about them, and I don’t, yet I hear that tub of lard talking about them all the time. UFO were huge in the 70's. For all his issues, Michael Schenker was a guitar God. He's so good. He was just 18 years old when he joined UFO in1974. I would guess, most of...

That was my thought.

It was like 10 or 12 years. He got sober in 1977, and his next album depicting that, came out in 1978, From the Inside. Yes, he went to an asylum and got clean for that record, and that record only. He then proceeded to be fucked up for the next 5 years. He even refers to the early 80s albums as th...

Probably helps that he had a three year run of being sober at that point. It was like 10 or 12 years. He got sober in 1977, and his next album depicting that, came out in 1978, From the Inside. But after that he relapsed. He was so far gone that he doesn't even remember making the Dada album in 83....

Danny’s Records was awesome in Fresno Definitely had the independent store vibe. Bought lots of death metal- Headbangers Ball bands at that place. Had cool concert shirts also. First Obituary shirt I got at that place. Place always had CMC International bands like Kik Showbusiness Think Dannys Reco...

Before I moved to LA, I lived in Escondido (North San Diego County) for 15 years. Not sure I'd call it my hometown, but we had Gary's Record Paradise. It was a great used record store. And they could order anything we needed if they didn't have it. One day we were in there and my oldest daughter, 14...

Discuss... $ludge I don't think so. It's our life. All of us that are left here on Metal Sludge, and all that were here before. I don't have a single long time friend, or friend at all, that isn't because of rock n roll music. I have acquaintances I guess, but not actual friends. The best time of m...

From the get-go, they were all about putting out a bunch of good singles and a ton of filler on every album. The only great album start to finish is Creatures of the Night. Maybe the debut. Discuss. That might be true. But longevity is a thing. And KISS can play their hits for a 3 hour concert and ...

Yellowstone was really good. I haven't seen the last season yet. Did you watch it yet? I think it was the best season, especially with them having to call an audible and change plans when Kevin Costner wasn't coming back. No I haven't, but thanks for the spoiler, Nate! :lol: :lol: I'm kidding, I'm ...

Who are you going to be able to be able to see in 20 years? The answer is whoever is around 50-55 right now, because in 20 years they'll be 70-75 and maybe still playing. But I don't know of any hairbands or metal bands from the 80s who are that young. So the answer will be nobody. Slash just turne...

This is a tough one.
Paranoid is perfection, start to finish, as is Heaven and Hell. How do you choose?
Overall, Ozzy was better for Black Sabbath, but both of their solo careers were exceptional.

Yellowstone was really good. I haven't seen the last season yet. But... then they had 2 prequels. 1823 and 1923. And I think 1923 was dropping weekly? I haven't seen all of those yet. Now I have to go back and watch 1823, 1923 and the seasons Yellowstone all over again to make it make sense! :roll: ...

Just finished both seasons of House of Dragon. Great stuff. Doesn't match the peak of the first 4 seasons of Game of Thrones. But more consistent and better than the latter seasons. I'm impatiently waiting Season 3. GOT was long done before I even started watching. It was an excellent series. I agr...

I've been watching Yellowjackets. It's kind of crazy, but I can't stop watching. So much so, that I had to the add Paramount Plus/Showtime package to my Prime Video to get Season 3. Very suspenseful. I'm always late to the TV shows. I never saw The Sopranos until around 2016. I never saw Sons of Ana...

I saw them at NAMM in 2013. It was a really good show.
They are one of those bands that I didn't think I knew well, but I knew better than I thought?
I definitely enjoyed that show more than I expected to.

A couple of cereal boxes, paper plates, a couple of bags of chips, and a box of parchment liners for the air fryer. The boxes of cereal are a new addition. I don't eat a lot of cereal, but it's summer and cooking kinda sucks so I bought some today. If anyone cares, I bought Life, Rice Chex and Raisi...

Diary of a Madman is perfection, start to finish! Not too many albums are.
Flying High Again is my favorite, but the whole album is great!
My daughter and I had a conversation last night.
She prefers Blizzard of Ozz. I like it well enough, but not as much as Diary.

I don't eat much fast food. And I don't have any mobile apps. I did grab Taco Bell on Sunday. It was horrible and I won't be doing that again! What did you order? I had 13 crispy tacos from Taco Bell, and it was excellent. :D The only thing I have ever had from Taco Bell. Two Taco Supremes, no lett...

I hated every second of all of this!
Plug it in and turn it up!

I feel the hate for her is excessive. Yes, Sharon could be a real shit and she played a major part in screwing over a few former band members, with the re-recording of the first two albums being a great example; however, on a positive note, she played a critical role in establishing and maintaining...

I know someone that had this done, it was as bad as it sounds.

My mom had that when I was a teenager.
It sounded horrible! And she kept wanting to tell us about it!

With Ozzy's death and other artists encountering health problems, it popped into my head that many or most of us are the final generation to see the bands that had 40-50 year careers. It's melancholy if you think about it. There are few artists of the current era that will be around in 5-10 years, ...
