Kiss - "Forever"
You see dudes on here who are ostensibly metal fans, who actually enjoy this Bolton bullshit and dont even have the goddamn common sense to be embarassed in admitting it.
It's like saying "Oh yeah, I love "South of Heaven", "Blackened" & and "My Heart Will Go on" "

Podcasts. Especially by those that already have a tv/radio show etc... Arrogant asses what makes you think we want more of you? As for the randos? I've got my own podcast going on in my head 24/7. No more room...

Re: What is the most overrated thing people love you do not understand?
I don't know if this was said, but summer festival concerts. Short sets, shitty food, warm beer, over-crowded (in Ohio with tons of white trash). Even in my 20s-30s, I hated them, though I went to a few, including Woodstock 94 and 99. I haven't been to a festival in 10-15 years.

Agreed! And most of all: I don't get how people fit them into their day. Either I do stuff that needs my attention and I can't focus on the babbling, or I do something stupid that's more fun than podcasts.GreatWhiteSnake wrote: ↑Sat Mar 30, 2024 7:33 am Podcasts.

Re: What is the most overrated thing people love you do not understand?
That's about the age I stopped going to festivals. Before it was a great way to have a vacation with friends, drink from morning til evening and see a lot of bands I hadn't seen before. Important note is the organisation of festivals in Europe is much better, even when at age 17 I appreciated crapping on a real toilet with running water.

Re: What is the most overrated thing people love you do not understand?
Haha. Yeah, Woodstock 99 (would have been 32) was a good time. Somehow, my body willed itself into not shitting for three days until we reached a hotel with real toilets on the drive home. Showering surrounded by naked 25-year-old chicks wasn't bad either (except for the knee-deep water and 25-year-old wieners also in the same vicinity). I went to Rock on the Range (now Sonic Temple) 3x as a more responsible adult. It got less fun each time.jens wrote: ↑Sun Mar 31, 2024 7:06 amThat's about the age I stopped going to festivals.

Not liking cheese is just straight-up fucking weird. It’s like not liking Aerosmith. Or liking KISS better than Aerosmith. Just fucking wrong.

American supermarket cheese is even shittier than your chocolate, and that's a low bar to miss. But I had some excellent ones from local stores when I was in CA last year.

Agreed, American supermarket cheese is horrible. But it's not too hard to find great cheese here, it just costs more. I'm willing to pay for that.

I've had Irish sharp cheddar recently, and it was fabulous, but other than that, what does the UK have?

Re: What is the most overrated thing people love you do not understand?
Like most quality food, the best come from small producers and probably aren't seen much outside of their local area, or farmers markets or dedicated cheese shops. I'm not a huge fan of cheddar except fairly strong versions in small quantities with some port or madeira, I prefer creamier hard cheeses like Wensleydale and Cornish Yarg. We also have plenty of good goat cheese though I never remember names. The chances of you finding those in LA? Very slim, though you must have some specialist shops. We loved The Cheese Shop - www.thecheeseshopinc.com - in Carmel last year but I've just looked at their British range and it's good but not great. Mostly flavoured varieties.Metal Sludge wrote: ↑Sat Apr 13, 2024 7:00 pmFrance is famous for soft cheeses, but I've never heard that the UK had great cheese.

But I don't like flavored cheese. I love goat cheese, but not with stuff in it.
I don't like cheese flavored with wine, especially not Port! Yuck!

Re: What is the most overrated thing people love you do not understand?
We are FANATICAL about cheese over here. Dozens of varieties of cheddar, from mild to extra mature (can't stand the mild stuff, mind - I like my cheddar with some strength behind it), Double Gloucester (lovely creamy stuff, particularly the type with chives and onion in), Red Leicester, Cheshire (dry, sharp and very crumbly), Wensleydale (made in the Yorkshire Dales, a lovely full-flavoured semi-soft cheese) and my personal favourite, Blue Stilton. And that's barely scraping the surface.Metal Sludge wrote: ↑Sat Apr 13, 2024 7:00 pmFrance is famous for soft cheeses, but I've never heard that the UK had great cheese.

I've had Blue Stilton, it's really good. However, I don't eat bleu cheese by itself, I use it to make salad dressing. And Blue Stilton is the best I've have ever had.
I agree about the mild cheddar. When I was I kid I preferred it, but my family is Italian and we only had parmesan, mozzarella, etc. When I grew up, I preferred the sharpest cheddar I could get.
We have markets here that sell everything, I will find them all and give them a try!
I've heard of Red Leicester before. That's your average everyday cheddar? Much like our sharp or extra sharp cheddar?
Thank you so much! I love cheese, and I love good cheese. I cannot wait to try these!

Re: What is the most overrated thing people love you do not understand?
Red Leicester is of the same sort of consistence and style as cheddar, but it has a very different flavour. Hard to describe, really. Smooth, mellow, lots of depth. Not as spiky as cheddar. Our everyday cheddar is, well, cheddar. As I say, I like a nice strong extra-mature. (We don't really use the "sharp" classification here, we tend to refer to it as "strong".)Metal Sludge wrote: ↑Mon Apr 15, 2024 7:43 pmThank you!

You know what's funny? When I was a kid, I didn't like cheese that much. I didn't like bacon either.
Thankfully, I outgrew all that! Cheese and bacon are about the best things on the planet!
