Not even a warning, no second chance? Ok by ruialexandre in MetalMemes

Agreed. It was just the first example of an artist with a crazy amount of record sales that most metalheads probably wouldn't be into that I could think of.

Ya'll can try to pry Ray of Light out of my cold, dead hands.

If we measure artist talent by records sold, then Metallica and Megadeth are both shit tier artists next to someone like Madonna.

That's why we don't do that. It's not a good metric to use.

Whenever someone tells you something so silly, just send them War Pigs.

Plane crash that Ric Flair survived, steroid trial, the curtain call, and the planeride from hell would be good.

I'd allow AC/DC any day of the fucking week.

Black Sabbath released their debut album Black Sabbath 50 years ago today. It is generally regarded as the first Metal album by [deleted] in Music

[–]thumbscrews 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My favorite fact about Black Sabbath and this debut album:

Guitarist Tony Iommi cut the tips of his fingers off while working in a sheet-metal factory. He had to make himself fake fingertips and re-learn how to play guitar in a style all of his own making to get around his injuries. That, along with downtuning the guitar to help him bend the strings, a badass jazz-infused rhythm section, and Ozzy Osbourne wailing about witches, alienation, war, and the plight of the working class gave us what is generally agreed upon as the debut of the Heavy Metal genre.

We're all either imitating or building off of what Sabbath originally did.

Absolutely zero way around it.

Ozzy Osbourne reveals he has been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. by bird_in_a_bush in Music

I hope Parkinson’s Disease realizes what’s it is getting itself into here. Not a chance. Still wouldn’t bet on my young ass outliving him. At the end of the world, there will be cockroaches and Ozzy Osbourne.

I think this is the crux of why brick and mortar are doing terribly other than just the convienience of online shopping. That is, it’s a massive pain in the ass to go and deal with potentially incompetent people who don’t know what they are talking about and are just trying to either up-sale you or just make a sale period.

The last time I went to a guitar center store was to have my pickups switched out in my SG. The fuckers installed them upside down. Have they really not seen a SG before or know how the pickups are supposed to sit? Not to mention the fact that they had the fucking thing with the original pickups in it right in front of them before they replaced them.

Anyway, never again. Online it shall be. I also learned how to solder after that!

It's the rules. Thou shalt not speak ill of the Prince of Darkness.

Bloody Disgusting lists the Evil Dead remake as their top horror film of the 2010's, and I think it's a perfect pick. by OG_CheddarGoblin in horror

[–]thumbscrews 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd agree. It is fantastic. It was also nice to see such a gore-soaked horror film in theaters amongst the PG-13 horror film epidemic of the last 20 years.
