THE BIG 4 poll

that's the one I posted upthread, Josh.

Oh, sorry. Been a long thread!

Just gonna mention this real quick because Joseph Gordon-Levitt's character is supposedly modeled on Cliff Burton and there's a ton of Metallica on the soundtrack, so some may be lured into watching Hesher, but...don't. It's a piece. Of. Shit. Tried to get through it this afternoon, bailed right after JGL started doing bonghits with the little-kid character's grandmother.

was thinking about this last night, and I think one of the reasons that I find myself listening to megadeth more now is that dave mustaine seems the most like a regular guy, as a frontman, narrator, storyteller. you'd think that anthrax would totally clean up on the "regular" guy front, what with the skateboards and shorts and all, but I think joey belladonna's delivery is definitely a bit pompous and over the top. not to criticize joey b.

"let's all sit around the campfire and listen to uncle dave spin us a yarn about nuclear armaggeddon!" "breakfast with dave was nice, but he sure gets grumpy about politics..." "nice impression of a surly teenager, dave!"

Thanks aerosmith- I'll do some digging.

Mustaine is a pretty intersting guy. Shockingly, he was somewhat self-deprecating in his book. I always had the impression of him as totally pompous. I liked the book.

did he use a lot of ellipses in the book?

It seems like after that, no one seemed to hold the office of the President in such high regard.
Mustaine: Not anymore. I don’t think so because of the things that have taken place and the mistrust. Plus when you look at “Peace Sells… But Who’s Buying,” what the whole concept behind that whole album is pretty much about — us as a people and the youth of America as an individual … I don’t want to say “faction” that’s the wrong word, but an entity, on its own. The youth of America being justified, finally, coming of age, and being able to look at things and being able to say ‘You know what? I don’t want this Manchurian Candidate as our President.” Back then, it’s the same thing now. I look at the way Obama has been selling our country off and all the ways things are happening and the way that our economy is plummeting. Why won’t we tap Alaska? And why did we take so long to act on the Gulf? Why did we take so long to act in Libya? Why?! Where’s his birth certificate? You know what, that birth certificate he showed everybody … I remember buying one of those to go buy booze. Hello Obama. C’mon dude, they used to sell those in the back of Creem magazine for $3.

yeah, yeah. cranky old uncle dave...

Well, if there was anyone I'd expect to buy into a host of conspiracy theories, it's Mustaine. I mean, come on.

Needs to be in this thread, if only because it's the only song by any of these bozos that I remotely care about:

Ranking their rap collabos

Ice-T doing Exploited's "UK 82" as "LA 92" = <3

long conversation about the judgment night soundtrack on the train ride home or gtfo

over the years since its release it's been a source of constant surprise to me to learn what a profound effect it had on cats who were young-ish when it came out - it's such a touchstone in some ways

love Slayer & Reign in Blood arguably perfected the form, but in terms of innovation AND quality control, you just can't get past Lightning & Puppets imo

Wife says Megadeth btw. altho she also said she didn't know what Slayer looked like.

Slayer.
Easily.

She should be able to guess what Slayer looks like.

This just has to be Metallica.

you mean for the WS question, right?

Poor Kirk is a lonely guy just thinking 'bout things.

lol otm

Using food science, via Kuma's Corner:

Metallica - Buffalo Sauce, Bacon, Bleu Cheese Dressing
Slayer - Pile of fries topped with a 10 oz. Burger, Chili, Cherry Peppers, Andouille, Onions, Jack Cheese, and Anger
Megadeth - Chorizo and Red Potato Hash, Pico de Gallo, Cayenne Avocado Cream, Tortilla Strips

Anthrax doesn't have a burger there yet.

So, Slayer wins.

Kuma's should have a burger called The Heartburn.

Do metal guys ever get tired of making grrr metal faces? I guess not.

They are stuck that way.

why on Earth would you be a metal guy if you were the type of person who got tired of making grrr metal faces

Do indie guys ever get tired of making woe-is-me indie faces? I guess not.

Indie guys are all smiles now that the money's just rolling in.

the megadeth is my jam at kuma's

Sad indie dude look like that all the time, though. I doubt Hetfield walks around with a perma-grimace.

ha yeah I saw that and thought about posting it

did I yet mention on this thread that I'm in a SLAYER!!! group on Facebook and I've been posting stuff from here on the wall there and vice versa?

correct results

though....THOUGH....Megadeth had a pretty good run in the late '00s, where they were probably at their second win. Endgame is better than some of their 80s output.

I still don't like the latest Anthrax album, though really enjoyed Worship Music.

I'm re-listening to Persistence of Time now for the first time in probably 15 years. They really weren't that good a band. Fun live, 30 years ago anyway, but as songs, these songs feel like a bunch of parts scotch-taped together and constantly falling apart.
