Lucho, you are my brother and I love you, but posts like this one piss me off. Too much info, bro! I have too much to say, but can't remember half of it by the time I hit "leave comment".

Torpedo Girl is a sweet tune.

I want free stuff too. I wish we did a blog about hot girls.

Do you guys really think the music from The Elder is that bad? I know the concept failed, but the music is decent

Sorry I have been a bit quiet of late, I've been in Africa for the past three weeks and they don't have electrickery there. Anyway, good piece. I have sent you my entire record collection as payment for allowing me to read this stuff. I didn't know where to send it it so I marked the envelope with 'MI, USA' I'm guessing it should get there. That guy in that European video is my dad. Don't mock him.

Also I had a Slayer interview disc, exactly as you describe. I think I still have it but I probably only listened to it once. One of the reasons was that it sounded like it had been recorded under a motorway bridge and not only could we, the audience, not hear the questions, neither could Tom Araya as he kept having to ask the interviewer to repeat herself...

2009-07-16T17:40:43.488-04:00

The drummer from Shattered Realm gave me "THE LOOK" when I met him outside one of their shows like two years back. I asked him why he doesn't just get Fury of Five back together and he told me something or other about hating Ismean because he owed him money, and I was like "HOW THE FUCK CAN YOU HATE JAMES ISMEAN?!?!" and then did my trademark very genuinely awesome impression of that horrible screeching thing that he does on songs like "Forever Down". This was the first time I ever met a guy from a band I loved and felt that they REALLY hated me. :o(

Wow, are you the long-haired guy that is shown in the video at 1:12? If that's you, you are a lucky bastard! Go get drunk and celebrate!

Speaking of random things. Here's a video from Pamplona where a guy gets gored to death by El Toro.

But wait! Who the one spinning around at 1:11 into the video?

Re: the cellophane wrapping that makes records hard to open... Record nerd tip: If you rub the edge of the unopened record against your pants really fast for 10 seconds or so, an opening will melt through the plastic. This helps protect the record because the plastic stays on it, and it's way easier than man-handling the corners in an attempt to get the cellophane off.

The same goes for those promo CDs in cardboard covers too, but those usually aren't worth opening anyway.

2009-07-10T14:11:19.170-04:00

You know if you watch that clip of Manowar working out and you close your eyes and just listen to the audio, it sounds like a bunch of gays having sexytime! HA HA!

My girlfriend was sitting on the couch just now doing her makeup and all she could hear is the audio! She said "what is that, it sounds kind of gay"! HA HA HA!

And I said "oh its Manowar" working out!

2009-07-10T14:04:09.432-04:00

I liked "I'm the Man" when it came out. Metalheads are so serious when making music and this was a great antidote. And although it didn't blaze the trail to rap-metal like their PE collab would (for better or worse), it was a ballsy and groundbreaking move. Almost all the metal dudes I knew then were pretty racist so I bet it was a bit of a gut-punch when one of the "Big Four" did a rap record.

2009-07-10T13:12:46.697-04:00

State of Euphoria makes no sense at all. Its an oxymoron because Euphoria is a good feeling, but the cover art is depicting chaotic, crazy, anxiety. Even MORE proof that Anthrax is the worlds stupidest, funniest metal band.

I have this tape collection that I made that I call "live metal talking". Basically I have strung together like 30+ minutes of the dumbest stage banter ever produced by metal bands on stage. Anthrax with Neil Turbin is the funniest thing I have heard EVER. More hilarious than any commedian routine.

That manowar video just gave me a hard on.

2009-07-10T11:26:58.348-04:00

John, if you think hearing three different I Am The Man versions on one side is annoying, then don't buy the new Manowar duel CD EP. The second disc is composed entirely of the same song recorded in 16 different languages.

I must admit, though, hearing Eric Adams trying to sing in Finnish, Hungarian, Polish, and Japanese will be inconceivably funny.

2009-07-10T10:39:57.705-04:00

Funny about that State of Euphoria sticker, I have no idea what I did with that one!

One thing that did piss me off though was that I Am the Man EP that they put out (and that, stupidly and blindly, I bought).

You have six songs on each side of the tape, 3 of them are different versions of the I Am the Man song... What the fuck?! You're supposed to stomach the same song 3 times in one half hour?!

Cool post, makes my Friday afternoon more pleasant.
