I checked out the second place album by Hellripper (what a stupid name) and holy shit this is awesome. Old school thrash by a one-man show, a Scottish dude who is an oddball in that he's cleanshaven and ink-free and plays all the instruments. Could do without the black metal style vocals but that's ...

Poor Brent cannot get a decent haircut to save his life.

That was badass, and those detuner things he had on the tuning pegs were badass, too. I've never seen those before. I have. They were developed back in the 90s by an instrument maker whose name I forget in partnership with the jazz bassist named Michael Manring. You could flick a switch like he doe...

Sick!

I really can't believe that people are just hearing about Shinedown now for the first time in this thread. This is a band that has been around for more than 20 years, has multiple platinum albums, and has headlined arenas for at least the past decade. Are you really that caught up in an 80s bubble? ...

A 16 year old song by a band ignored by the industry is at #13 on the iTunes charts. Any idea why? I figure a popular show used it, like when Stranger Things used 'Running up That Hill' and the song got a brief pop.

The Metal Archives skews heavily to obscure and fringe metal. I mean, look at their top 10:

Dødheimsgard
Hellripper
Malokarpatan
Cattle Decapitation
Dying Fetus
Sacred Outcry
Moonlight Sorcery
Panopticon
Cirith Ungol
Overkill

Overkill is the only recognizable band on the list.

As for Thurman, can't find any recent pics but if so I blame her German and Mexican side

What the fuck are you talking about? Uma is British on her father's side and Swedish on her mother's.

Martha Stewart Stewart, née Ruszkowski, is ethnic Polish. Women there usually look great young but age horribly. Almost as bad as say Ukraine or Russia where every woman becomes an overweight babushka after 30. Helen Mirren is Russian and look at her. There are exceptions to everything, the way Hur...

Overkill, "Scorched"

62 year old Blitz still has it.

Kate Beckinsale, for the opposite reason of most; she's gotten way too skinny. Plus she's fucking up that beautiful face with plastic surgery. https://www.instagram.com/p/CxohGsxrpfN/?img_index=1 Not to mention she's been acting batshit crazy on IG.

I can't remember the last departure that was met with so much approval. His talent was totally wasted.

But hey, now he and the CEO are free to work on their death metal project, amirite?

From 1995 to 2000, The Jester Race to Clayman, In Flames were untouchable.

When Mutt Lange and Phil Collen took over Def Leppard. Nevermore going on stage shitfaced during the Obsidian Conspiracy tour. There was fan report after report of this unprofessional behavior. Jesper Stromblad's downward spiral and diminishing role in In Flames in the 2000s. Metallica. Load. Nuff s...

Except no one in Crue died and only one left due to health problems.

Especially given how many female bassists there are.

Aldious, the band that started me on my Japanese girl band following, lost another member due to a health problem, which got me to wondering what other bands have had such a lousy streak. Aldious's body count is pretty big: Singer Rami - undisclosed brain condition. She returned to music but did ver...

The revelation that he had a raging coke habit in the 70s was pretty surprising. I was also surprised to see how mad he was and Neil for not wanting to continue the final tour. But eventually he understood. He dispenses with Neil's death pretty quickly though. I think he dedicated maybe three pages ...

If memory serves me correctly, there is a book that was removed from the Bible that said that those in hell eventually get released. The punishment is not eternal. It was on the history Channel special on books that were banned from the Bible. Lot of interesting stuff and that special, such as the n...

Forgot one: Chuck Schuldner.

Gurschach is fucking great. They need more love from the thrash scene.

Haha, I almost didn't say anything because I hate not being able to spill the beans, and don't want to be "that guy". I don't know the name of "well known" guitar player I mentioned, and don't want to try and guess, but the lesser known guitar player is a bay area guy a little y...

Friggin hilarious. Especially love the tuba. I hope they make more.

What about Neil Peart? Real name or Nikola Petrovič? You can't use him as a source as he has said both on various occasions. Also there's a version that it was his parents who changed from Petrovič to Peart. Neil was born, lived, and died Neil Ellwood Peart. He and Rutsey were the only ones without...

For me, it has always been the into riff to "I'm the one" off the first album. Intellectually, I know it is a sped-up boogie shuffle thing ala ZZ Top, but I have never been able to get the goddam rhythm right. I mean, fuck this shit: https://youtu.be/EllEztdbBhg Live version from 2013. Ni...
