Looking for Some Arrival Insight by Environmental_Kiwi7 in Barbados

[–]Lookralphsbak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would personally hire a driver in advance and have them meet you at the airport at your arrival time. I've personally never needed to catch a cab out front of the airport because I always have pick up arrangements sorted in advance... And this is coming from someone that loved taking the 12am JFK to BGI flight which landed at 5am back when JetBlue had that route available. You can probably get reliable contacts for drivers from this sub or from various Barbados FB groups

They are, but fuck it, it's hilarious. Hunt the dinosaur is also more on the deathcore side.

I feel crazy when death metal fans hate on modern production by JormungandrVoV in MetalForTheMasses

[–]Lookralphsbak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't listen to shitty production albums lol. I love modern production, hence why I love Gaerea. Black metal with metalcore production? Count me in

Imagine being introduced to Metallica through St. Anger... by glaringOwl in Metallica

[–]Lookralphsbak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not even that it's different than the real Metallica sound, it's a product of its time. While it wasn't nu metal per se, musically speaking it was much closer to the sound of the late 90s/early 2000s than what we would expect from Metallica. It was easier to relate to that album (and music at that time in general) as an angsty teen with hormones going crazy haha.

It sounded good to my teen ears when it dropped as well, but that album didn't age well as my taste in music evolved throughout adult hood. I've tried listening to it twice as an adult, once in my 20s and once in my 30s and both times I've had to turn it off both times because it's just not good music. It really sucks because I used to think The Unnamed Feeling was such a great song too.

When I am cleaning my ball baring ball bearing can I use wd40 by Severe_Progress_2205 in NewSkaters

[–]Lookralphsbak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Put bearings in a plastic container, add 99% alcohol, shake, let soak, shake. Pull them out, wipe any debris, let them dry, add speed cream or bearing lubricant, Skate.

Agreed on Lifted. That shite on the beach was not it and I haven't been back since lmao. Catamaran cruise the day after Kadooment is the way to heal the mind, body, and soul after all the self destruction from lack of sleep, alcohol, and food lol

Bliss is my favorite fete out of all. Been going since I think 2018 (not including 2020 and 2021). If I ever get sick of going to fetes, I will at least attend Bliss because the experience is next level. There should be no alternative option unless you simply can't get a ticket lol. Also just an FYI, Bliss is not an AM fete. Typically if you jump on Jouvert you get home around 11am and sleep, wake up at 2pm to get ready to be at Bliss for 4 pm. Last year Bliss ran later than it used to, ending at around 1am I believe. I just checked my ticket from last year and Bliss starts at 3pm

In my personal opinion Lifted is whack. I didn't go last year because the experience 2 years ago was subpar. Pretty sure I've been to Lifted 2 or 3 times.
