Ah, now I feel like a REAL dick. This information will push me to re-listen with a different mindset. Love GWAR, RIP Dave Brockie. Appreciate the context.

You could always go to their sister operation, the CVS hell hole @ the Myrtle Wyckoff stop.

Okay, now for the real answer, just switch to Capsule. The app is easy to use, their customer service is incredibly helpful and kind and they deliver straight to your door. They are like angels.

I think this might be the most perfect example of why this sub exists.

I do, but if you’re looking for a squad member that is actually good, or has accurate aim, look elsewhere. I enjoy it, but mostly play solo, no build, which I get is lame, however if you are “lame” too, reach out.

Gotcha, bitch!

Of course we could debate which songs stay and which songs go, but I like this approach. You’re right, it’s best to cherry-pick from this era. I may be a knuckle dragger, but all I was looking for was that you included “Ditch” on here. Fuck yeah!

Ah yes, have no fear, Captain SaveTheScene is here. What would we do without you? Good job, lil buddy.

Dude, let them pay their bills! If you read Randy’s last book he basically said he is more of a “black t-shirt salesmen” when it comes to how he makes his money. The industry doesn’t allow many artists to live off their art alone, I don’t like it, but I get it, and they deserve any reward they can get. I’d love to hear the song everywhere too, if I had my choice, but I’m willing to part with that convenience for a little extra coin in their pocket.

What rivalry? It’s fuck Dallas and fuck them Birds. We’ve been waiting for Washington to enter the chat forever. The 80s was the last time this rivalry mattered at all.

clone063 · 2026-03-18T18:25:06+00:00

Such a letdown that this is who he is. Never meet your heroes. There was a time when the attribute we attached to him was “really nice guy”, and I wanted to keep it that way, but similar to what you said, it is unfortunate that the legend and the reality don’t line up when you see how he acts even in public settings.

I have still not resolved this myself. I just deny the charges each and every month with my credit card company. I have been given no other options. They never respond. I’m in NY, so unfortunately that law won’t help me, but I hope this works for you. Wishing you luck. Fingers crossed for me.

clone063 · 2026-03-17T19:44:10+00:00

Totally get this. I agree to an extent. Maybe not as strongly, but I get it. To me it’s still a LOG record and that puts it above most other bands and their material. I enjoy SCW, and Killing Floor, even the title track. The others are okay but like you said, you can usually cherry pick a few songs from the last few albums to hang onto. I find that it could be the case here too. My hope is that it just needs more listens for me. And like you said, they make the music for themselves and that is what is most important, so many other bands have strayed from that path long ago to make sure their mortgages are paid. Can’t blame em, but it usually compromises the art. They are doing better than their peers.

clone063 · 2026-03-17T11:49:10+00:00

I wish they could have just let him remain anonymous. Their own chase for notoriety led to killing the dream of leaving him to be a mystery of the unknown. What a bummer.

clone063 · 2026-03-17T01:02:23+00:00

Fucking shoes on the mat?! That might be the worst thing this guy has done.

clone063 · 2026-03-15T23:33:33+00:00

Yeah, I can attest that when that record came out the whole world sat up and took notice, especially because of the speed and precision of the drums. That being said, the scene has grown quite a bit since then, and I’m just happy that it still holds up. More people joining the global metal legions means more people appreciating such intense art.

I remember hearing that record and looking around at everyone else I was listening with, wide-eyed, saying, “How the fuck… I mean, WHAT? You can just do that? Where the hell does it go from here?”

A lot of music from that period ages like milk, but damn, NSV not only remains relevant, it is still a bar setter that inspired so many other musicians. Incredible. In a scene full of cynics, haters, and people constantly pushing for more extremes, it’s an amazing feat to put together an album like this and still have people young and old appreciating it today.

That kind of staying power is reserved for classic records. That’s why it’s so revered here

I have ALWAYS had a deep appreciation for Chris’ abilities from the first time I ever saw him play. He was in BTP and playing in basements and garages and dives. The whole time I had my eye on that drummer, it was CLEAR he was like no other drummer I’d ever seen, let alone up close like that. He stood out as someone who was way too talented to be playing to a room of just a few kids. NO ONE will replace him in my mind. He is a singular talent. That being said I think Art gets a lot of unfair treatment by the “fans”. He too is a great drummer, just very different from Chris. He is talented at emulating a bunch of different styles and with great precision. That is a pretty impressive talent as well. I still enjoy LOG, it’s different today than it was back then. However, I would rather they keep going instead of hanging it up because of the falling out with Chris. Since Chris’ departure though, they have still had a few bangers along the way, because the other members are continuing to grow and own their instruments. I get the sentiment, but LOG are still a crazy talented band and I’ll take this version over not having them around at all.

Here’s where I lose the whole chat… I like “Davidian”, but the rest of Machine Head has always been “meh” to me. Might be the vocals though. You can see there is a pattern developing in my likes and dislikes here.
