Rolling Metal Thread 2009

they're, like, the coolest bands.

i like ALL those bands. what are the odds? okay, sigh aren't exactly on my hit parade these days, but everyone else is!

the book gets 5 Skots out of 5?

well, i mean, it could have been some lame book filled with scott ian's meatballs and ozzy's roasted pigeon recipe or stuff like that. but seriously it would be hard to come up with a cooler list of people. (and the book idea itself is genius. totally great xmas gift for anyone even if they aren't metal fans. hope she makes tons of money off of it.)

glaring lack of absu's sumerian goulash recipe though. i know siegbran will be bummed.

buying it for maria?

i don't think i want to eat anything abscess contributes, you know? stiny plamenu either.

Let me guess: Brutal Truth contributed a recipe for "brownies"?

maybe it's just the grim, frostbitten weather, but the last absu album is sounding pretty good to my ears after a disappointing few spins when it first came out.

still ain't no tara, tho.

totally no snow in ancient sumer, dude.

yea, yea. plus, they're texans.

yet, these riffs chill like the gusts of blizzards.

or something.

It gets cold at night in the desert!

now it all makes sense!

absu have surely have studied with hans GRIM, yes?
