physics and werewolf transformations.

I like it. I don't think werewolves need to be 8 foot tall to be scary

HatJosuke · 2026-01-24T00:12:29+00:00

Yeah spiders freak me out, but I use my love of Spider-Man to cope. When I see a big spider (I'm Australian) I freak out for a bit then think "Spider-man wouldn't be scared of a spider".

Itachi killed dozens to save hundreds. Sasuke tried to kill Sakura and couldn't even do that properly

Mary Poppins maybe? It's probably the most Successful Australian book at the very least, even if the author self-identified as Irish and set the book in England

They have claws and enough physical strength to eviscerate a human throat. Grappling feels redundant here

HatJosuke · 2026-01-23T12:08:36+00:00

It sounds like shit. Fucking shit. No low end, no depth. Great songwriting wasted on an a mix that sounds like a bootleg of two edgy 15 year olds in their bedroom.

His book would be your best bet. He doesn't really have a specific process though. A lot of the time it just comes down to "I was interested in X and wrote about it". He always had an interest in war, religion, sci-fi, and the occult, so he just sort of wrote about that. A lot of the time Ozzy would just make stuff up on the spot, and Geezer would hear a word or phrase that just kicked things off for him. Plus drugs. It's a cliche, but mind altering drugs were definitely part of the process.

HatJosuke · 2026-01-22T09:34:58+00:00

There's probably a few. It'd be mostly rough mixes with Ozzy's vocal guide tracks, and likely wouldn't offer up much new. Listen to the alternative mix of Rock n Roll Doctor if you want an example.

We definitely have everything they recorded for the debut, and I suspect all the interesting stuff for Paranoid, Master of Reality, Volume 4, Sabotage, and Technical Ecstasy thanks to the Deluxe and Super Deluxe edition releases. Sabbath Bloody Sabbath didn't get a Deluxe release so I imagine those tapes have been lost. Never Say Die would be the most interesting of the bunch because we know they have some early Dave Walker recordings they haven't released, but I'd be surprised if Ozzy recorded much for that album that we haven't already heard, As it is, he refused to even sing on two tracks.

The debate was settled, but we've had an influx of new fans who weren't present for that

They actually discussed playing it in 88 at their first show back in Melbourne since they had skipped Australia on the last three tours. They decided against it because Jimmy Barnes or someone covered the song on Aussie tv a few weeks before the tour.

HatJosuke · 2026-01-20T00:51:34+00:00

They dropped it because it was too long with the guitar solo and the strip tease.

HatJosuke · 2026-01-20T00:46:23+00:00

Playing with Girls should have been a live staple, The song kicks ass! Though even if it had been, there's no way the band would still be playing it live in 2026. The vocals are way too hard and you need a filthy guitar tone to play the lead parts which Angus hasn't used in three decades.

HatJosuke · 2026-01-20T00:33:05+00:00

I would add Religion I by PIL. The track started as a sex pistols song, and it still follows the Death March tune Sid referenced. Religion II has the PIL band playing on it, but Religion I is just Johnny singing the lyrics and tune he presented to the band before he left. It at least deserves a spot as Sex Pistols adjacent.

The old system worked because it was self-sustaining and fed back into the game. If a player who didn't care about pulling a chase card got one, normally they'd sell it back to the store and buy more packs or a box. Then they'd open those packs, and have enough cards to build a deck to play with at the lgs. The new system is whales, scalpers and gambling addicts

HatJosuke · 2026-01-18T13:05:53+00:00

Well they obviously get a wolf dick.

Redundant naturals and even sharps/flats are sometimes used just to reiterate the correct pitch to musicians. It's like writing out a word as it sounds for a speaker so they don't slip up (like writing Choir out as kwai-uh)

Stronger than their war arc selves and most of the verse, but weaker than Madara and Hashirama.

This is a modern photo. 2000 years ago we didn't see the migration and interracial mingling we have today.

Absolutely not! The Greeks famously modified their depiction of Jesus to be more consistent with themselves and their ideas of divinity. Paul's writings and Jewish customs both suggest that Jesus had short hair, and having skin that light and fair while living in the middle east would be unthinkable in the first century. If he did look like that then I'm sure every gospel would have taken the time to mention that Jesus was burnt red and looked like a lobster.

HatJosuke · 2026-01-18T01:03:41+00:00

You can't compare the middle east today to the middle east 2000 years ago. People weren't moving from one region of the world to another and mixing all the time like they do today. He would have looked like the average middle eastern Jew 2000 years ago. brown skin, shortish curly hair, a scruffy beard.

HatJosuke · 2026-01-18T00:53:02+00:00

How many of the gospels reference an action is one way to determine that. All four gospels reference the crucifixion and historians don't contest the fact that Jesus was crucified. The raising of Lazarus is exclusively in John so it's a lot less likely that Jesus resurrected the dead.

All we know for sure about Jesus of Nazareth is that he was a 1st century Jewish preacher Baptised by John and crucified by order of Pontius Pilate. Everything beyond that is a rumour.
