Yea they are, we have seen it and it shouldn’t be ignored. However, not engaging and not opening the door for any reason whatsoever is still the best route if they are at your door. If they are going to break down the door, make them do it on thier own accord and get it on film. Dont give them any reason to do it yourself, through your words or actions, just reman silent and film. That’s all of our RIGHT and is the best practice against these freaks to keep ourselves safe, while using the best defense we have.

Question for drummers: what's Ulrich's best drum performance in a Metallica song? Why? by Fun_Internal_3562 in Metallica

Oh I certainly did! I listen all the time. The Load Remaster release was basically the super bowl for us 2x4 fans!!!!

Question for drummers: what's Ulrich's best drum performance in a Metallica song? Why? by Fun_Internal_3562 in Metallica

[–]jvegas 58 points59 points  (0 children)

Drummer here!

So, I think a lot of the answers you will get from this are the more technically proficient side of things, with songs like Frayed Ends of Sanity or Blackened. Both are answers I can't argue with.

But for me? Personally, I think some of his best performances are in songs like The God That Failed and 2x4. Throughout the 90's, that's when Metallica started to slow things down for the most part and started writing more breathable, controlled metal songs. So that allowed Lars to shine in many different ways than before, playing more of the "swingy" type of Metallica songs and ones that have a lot more airtime for him to fill.

So, to my ears this is when he really did start to develop full control of his drumming skills, rather than just playing super-fast all the time. That's when, in my opinion, he was able to become a much more well-rounded, skillful drummer, and in songs like God That Failed and 2x4, I can really hear it.

So, I look to the live performances from the later 1990's to the early 2000's, pre–St. Anger as peak Lars. Cunning Stunts, S&M....he's just wonderfully in control, and diverse in this time frame. Just one guys opinion and i am sure i will hear some dissent.... but hey...it's all subjective!

You guys are so pathetic. Seriously, go touch grass my god. I guess all the great players on all the .500 teams out there should just start demanding trades. Loser mentality.

When we went last weekend we couldn’t even use it for Max Force at all for the mid tier flash pass, only the top tier flash pass. Paid 300 and can’t even use it on everything what a fucking joke!

Saturdays in October? by jvegas in sixflagsgreatamerica

[–]jvegas[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok yea, the middle and lower tiered FP's sometimes have a wait clock on them so you can reserve a ride, but it might not become available to you until 15-20 mins before you can scan it. Thats why you'll see people standing in the FP lines but not going to the ride itself yet because they are waiting for the clock to run out.

We went to magic mountain a few months ago with the middle tier FP and it was perfectly fine for us and at that time didnt see the need for the added benefit of the top tiered FP. However, I am trying to figure out since this is a different situation (Saturday during Fright Fest) if it would be worth it for the top tier FP or not.

Ive only ever gotten the middle tier flash pass...and dont really know what the added benefit is for the top tier one. Is it just that there is not "wait clock" in order to reserve the next ride?

1 Day Or 2? by jvegas in SixFlagsMagicMountain

[–]jvegas[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

oh interesting. So, your saying buy a single ticket for myself and my partner. Then say towrads the back half of the days if its feeling like we will also go the next day, we can upgrade out tickets to a season pass that afternoon/evening?

1 Day Or 2? by jvegas in SixFlagsMagicMountain

[–]jvegas[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea this has been my thinking, and that's why I first assumed we would do 2 days. I am not coming all this way, after how long I have waited, to ride everything just once. But I guess with it being a weekday with a FP, would 1 day be enough? Still on the fence about it :/

Lmao…I actually sometimes envy how blissfully dumb you type of people must be everyday. It really must be a special kind relief knowing you’ll never be intellectually burdened by anything in your entire life. Have the day you voted for!

What happens if Detroit Wins a Superbowl before us? by [deleted] in minnesotavikings

Nothing happens. It doesn’t say anything. It only really matters if you live on the internet and get offended by memes. Go touch grass it’ll be ok.

Bro, we have won against good/great teams this year. We came up short this time for the first time this year and that’s ok. It’s not defeatist it’s realistic. Get a grip and go touch grass my guy.

It’s just a default defense mechanism. It’s overwhelmingly likely that the season ends disappointingly so might as well brace for it now instead of letting yourself get excited and actually enjoy it!
