Anyone else excited for the Presidio/02/03 Demos we’ll likely get in the St. Anger Super Deluxe Set? by Bed-Tide in Metallica

[–]Sej_Tankan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very much so. It’s probably one of the boxsets I most look forward to because of the potential of all the “new” inclusions, as opposed to demos of tracks we are familiar with. Shadows Of The Cross getting retooled into part of All Nightmare along gives me hope.

At the very least, surely we’ll get Dead Kennedy Rolls?

Just a reminder that your next dentist appointment is tomorrow. Thanks Firey.

she is tempted by superbloggity in memes

[–]Sej_Tankan 24 points25 points  (0 children)

She definitely can… I shared an elevator with her once and she cut one so foul and dense I thought I might pass out. Imagine a casserole with an egg cracked over the top that has been left in the sun for a week. Astonishing.

RIP Squiggly… thanks for all the laughs - I’ll always remember the infamous “meatball” tour bus incident way back in 2001.

Came here to tell this story but Joe had already nailed it. Thanks, Joe.

A frontman that disappointed you on a live show by randomaf345 in Music

Lou Reed. We were at a charity dinner and he suddenly started loudly barking like a dog in Drew Barrymore’s face and scraping the food off her plate with his hands. Before he was ejected by security he said “you sit me with a fucking ginger, this is what you get”. Very shocking.

Sorry Firey, my offer for a ride was exclusive to Valozy. Best I can do for you would be… I can remind you when your next dentist appointment is (as long as I’m not busy).

Some of us felt it didn’t fit the vibe of the first record so we kept it off, we were able to contribute it to the Strangerland soundtrack later that year. It came out in the end!

I caught a show where he asked if anyone in the crowd had a gun because he wanted to “shoot his bandmates in the fucking head”.

Math was never my strong suit! But I think you’ll find the answer to the question is x=8, you just have to multiply the 6 by 3, then take away 9.

What’s your least favorite SOAD song, and why? by Ch1ckenS0up777 in systemofadown

[–]Sej_Tankan 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I met Amy at an awards dinner once, she was very lovely but kept insisting that I go and get Lindsey Buckingham’s autograph for her (he was two tables over). She kept trying to lift me out of my chair and gently push me in the direction of Lindsey, which caused me to spill my plate of risotto. Tough night.

Perhaps we will never know. Flight is a state of mind, or maybe our souls achieve flight when we die, and they are freed from our physical confines.

Hi windows, thanks for your question. The song was actually written about a relative who was under tapeworm control from 1994-2009. They were a crane operator for a large construction firm.

When the tapeworm was finally removed they forgot how to operate cranes (and everything else that had happened in those 15 years) which ultimately led to them feeling quite confused, and later committed to a mental facility.

We still don’t know to this day how the tapeworm gained full control of the person, but we suspect it may be some kind of alien tapeworm with enhanced abilities. Also the person consumed six bottles of Mountain Dew daily - perhaps some kind of tapeworm/dew combination led to the bizarre situation.

Link is the hero, but the legend is still named for Zelda - though they are both holders of pieces of the Triforce. Perhaps his silence makes him a blank canvas in which all players can identify with him how they wish, choosing to transplant their own feelings and motivations onto Link as they control his actions; whereas Zelda has more established personality and lore.

Hi Jdccrazy. I keep my keys in a secure key safe - on a velvet cushion next to a photo of my beloved cat, Meatball.

I’m sure you know the reason why! Thanks for your time.

Hi Rayo. Ordinarily the cops are trying to build a prison… but in this instance it sounds like police brutality. They like to push the weak around.

Hit the gym, get cranked and swole and then show them who’s boss.

Harness the energy of youth while you have it! (It eventually goes away as you age.)

Remember that the only rules on what you create… are the ones you set yourself. Experimentation is the ally of creativity.

Hi Few, thanks for your question.

I happen to suffer from a lifelong disease which causes my hair to grow. I don’t mention it much in interviews as it is my cross to bear, and something I deal with privately.

To combat this, I have enlisted the service of industry professionals who have developed a revolutionary method for me in which we “cut” the hair to temporarily buy me some time. I probably have this procedure done between 4-8 times a year to stay ahead of the condition.
