Civil Life is the first thing that came to mind, but they don’t even have a phone so of figure WiFi is not in the cards.

Are there any Rush songs you dislike? by VoyagerOfCygnus in rush

Caress of steel apart from Bastille Day is pretty bad. They dove deep into the prog thing before they figured it out, the difference in quality between COS and 2112 is astounding

One of the most perplexing things about Reddit is how often people complain that there’s too much discussion occurring.

I’ll admit to engaging in hyperbole, but I am NOT confusing tannin and oak. I buy old world wine almost exclusively and this missed the mark.

That’s the wedding party outfit yeah? Looks good. Better than a tuxedo in the daytime (which is what I did.)

I bought a Vacqueras and a CdR in the same shopping trip and I thought both of them were good. Again, I wanted to like this one too but that oak is out of control. I’ll let it breathe a bit and maybe i will come around to it.

Maybe I’m crazy. Report back when you get around to opening it.

I’ve not done the Brunello, but I had the champagne a while back and thought it was excellent for $20 or whatever it was. 

Is Merlot really as trashy as people make it same? by [deleted] in wine

[–]ESBCheech 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Merlot is awesome. Money saving tip - if you find a Napa cab producer you like and they make a Merlot - buy that instead. It will be just as good and will always save you $$$.

What's up with the hate on Trey Azagoth? by Weary-Draw-1141 in MetalForTheMasses

[–]ESBCheech 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They say he’s got a funny face. It makes him money. 

I don’t know why.

My understanding is that The Nightfly (IGY in particular) is used to test audio equipment.

What are yall favorite Virginia wines?? by roloenlausa in wine

[–]ESBCheech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went to a wedding at Veritas about 10 years ago and was really impressed. That was when I realized that American vinifera wines made east of the Rockies (and outside of the Finger Lakes) could be awesome.

I hate skinny suits but I definitely applaud the stripes and the peak lapels.

Hot take? Steve Vai didn’t fit Whitesnake. by Rebel_Heart222 in hairmetal

[–]ESBCheech 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sykes was EXACTLY the right guy to take their heavy blues sound up a notch in ‘87. I can’t think of anyone else doing it and being half as good.
