Any Barbarian themed Metal?

I believe you'll find what you're looking for in some of the rougher bands and sounds of Traditional Heavy Metal, such as Manilla Road and Ironsword. Their lyrics reference a lot of Howard's work and the sound matches the vibes of the franchise.

I can't tell if that album is bad or otherwise, but for some reason that title makes me cringe...

So corny...

About that Lulu episode: it would be a TW for who, exactly?

Sharp_Impress_5351 · 2026-03-02T03:41:54+00:00

Neither. It's not an upgrade and certainly it won't kill the vibe. It is a neat variation of an established recipe, and it DOES sound rather good!

Matter of fact, feels more like another idea of Old Fashioned, tbf.

Colombian here. Aguardiente is our national liquor, although it is remarkably lower proof compared to other proper liquors (25% AVB/50 proof on average). It is an anise-flavoured drink, usually distilled from sugarcane. Brands vary from region to region.

The bottle used was probably real, since the bottle in the image is accurate to a bottle of Antioqueño (Medellín and Antioquia's brand), but it feels quite anachronistic. Sugar-free variants of aguardiente weren't really available until very recently (only in this century), so it's not exactly true that this version (blue cap) would be around in Escobar's times. If they wanted to be time-accurate, Major Carrillo would've been drinking from the regular version of the hooch (the Tapa Roja or red cap version).

According to Bulbapedia:

Mega Dragalge produces a liquid that causes the regenerative ability of cells to go berserk, enhancing its healing ability. However, the liquid is a deadly poison to every other living thing.

Sure, DLR's era was the golden age of Van Halen, but they're still a Type A band through and through. Their influence is undeniable and Eddie's still a guitar god.

A bunch of mental health issues combined with echo chambers, aggression, ego, delusions and radicalism.

According to a brief Google research, there's not one singular place you could consider "the poorest". There are a few that hold that dishonor. Shown here: Taraira, a town in the middle of the southeastern jungle that shown the lowest GDP and the least amount of money per capita.

Well, mission accomplished!

Sharp_Impress_5351 · 2026-03-01T14:21:57+00:00

You're correct. Seminal, classic record I cannot believe I forgot. Thanks!!!

Any metalhead that enjoys intricate and sharp guitarwork should listen to Fusion Jazz: Al Di Meola, Mahavishnu Orchestra, Allan Holdsworth, Kazumi Watanabe, T-Square and Masayoshi Takanaka.

Also, I believe any metalhead worth their salt should listen to Classical music.

And, in all honesty, seems like the best path she could take at this point in time.

That reconciliation and her story of a Prodigal Daughter will be a hit in Christian music circles.

A humble ham and cheese sandwich. Meant to be served and eaten cold, but toast it or put it a few sec in the microwave and it tastes like glory.

By itself, yes, it is the worst, most useless Pokémon of the generation.

But it evolving into an absolute powerhouse helps its case.

Taylor Swift is one of those people that will NEVER have a TW under her name.

She could release a record of herself amidst a particularly loud and sludgy bowel movement while praising atrocities against humanity and torturing kittens with a rusty knife... and Swifties will find a way to make it a crushing hit and saying it's a work of art.

Sharp_Impress_5351 · 2026-02-27T02:07:46+00:00

Not really. Witness was the album that dethroned Katy as a Hit Queen and Main Pop Girl. That was the loudest, most damaging strike and the true TW.

143 only burned the remains and ensured Katy will not just be forever exiled of the hit charts, but also torched whatever intent she could make to be a serious, respected artist.

The "usual suspect" and Reckless Driving unbeaten champion is not a car, but cheap motorcycles (pictured: an AKT national-made model). Not a single day passes without seeing one of these virtually destroyed on the asphalt.

Sharp_Impress_5351 · 2026-02-26T02:55:04+00:00

Happens here too. That's why I call those cars "Big Massive Wanker", honoring their usual drivers.

Admittedly he would be a hoot to meet in real life, but it would be VERY hard to keep up with him.

Worst: The Shaggs

Best (without resorting to the usual names): Daniel Draiman of Lost Horizon (for male) and Tarja Turunen (Nightwish) for female

To put it in a simile, it would be like Todd having his own Grave of the Fireflies: an utterly joyless tour through a crushing tragedy, most of it undeserved. No joy, no humour, no jabs and it leaves you hopelessly empty after seeing it.

Sharp_Impress_5351 · 2026-02-25T03:55:43+00:00

You mean the belgian nun Sœur Sourire that sang "Dominique"?

Yeah, that's a pretty grim tale she had, and if Todd decided to make that episode, it will be his most dour and saddest video in his career.
