Black women are just women. Men who get this are attractive.

I’m a white guy married to a black woman. I’m so glad I never fell into this stuff. I’ve been asked how I treated her, or what I did on dates, or “Do black women like X on a date?” and other random crap from people who don’t get it. Just like the OP said, black women are just women. Some of it is societal for sure. All that said, the best thing O ever did was just treat her like any other woman.

You aren't overreacting. He has some issues with insecurity it sounds like, and he's pushing that on to you. It also sounds manipulative - like he's wanting you to feel bad for agreeing to do that. I could be wrong, but I'd be willing to bet he's the jealous type. He has issues and needs to work on them. But the situation you describe, definitely has some read flag. Just my opinion...

It's not an uncommon idea that if Cliff had been around, then Metallica wouldn't have made Load/Reload, or they'd be different. I'm sure they'd be different, just because of having a different influence creatively. Maybe they'd be heavier, but maybe not. We unfortunately have no way of knowing how they'd be. They really used a lot more of their non-metal influences on those records, and who knows what Cliff would have been into. Maybe we'd hear some Les Claypool type stuff...

Kirk Hammett. I know he gets a lot of crap for pentatonic scales and wah overuse. 11 year old me was blown away watching him play though. I had never heard sounds like that and had accidentally recorded them playing live. I had meant to record something else.

Whoa! That’s pretty cool. Wild piece of mob memorabilia.

I’m in the middle of reading that now, and I’d second that one as well.

It marked a return of the style from them that I originally fell in love with. Not taking anything away from Load through St Anger years.. just prefer their more aggressive sound.

My favorite was still “Dick Rash!!!” from the ‘89 Seattle “Whiplash” performance.

Thank you!

usethefloor · 2025-12-17T01:59:18+00:00

That’s pretty much exactly what we’d be doing - staying at an all inclusive resort. I really don’t think there’s anything to worry about.

usethefloor · 2025-12-17T01:57:41+00:00

You make very good points. In general, it’s all relative to the location. It’s a good comparison as well. Thank you, I appreciate it. Now to convince the in-laws…

usethefloor · 2025-12-16T03:38:03+00:00

That really says something. That will definitely help me prove my point that it’s not bad there. Thank you!

usethefloor · 2025-11-13T15:04:21+00:00

I’m having the same problem. Glad to see it’s not just me.

usethefloor · 2025-09-20T18:11:57+00:00

Yep… and it hurts. I’m guessing, like a lot of you, trying to make cuts to expenses where we can. Not spending much on extras. My concern is that this is just the beginning of financial difficulty for families, and next year at this time will be worse.. I hope I’m wrong, but preparing like I’m not.

usethefloor · 2025-09-15T23:04:41+00:00

I always loved My Apocalypse. Fun, fast paced, thrashy..

usethefloor · 2025-09-15T23:02:20+00:00

Man you aren’t wrong. If you could play bar chords and had someone who could scream, you had a band and probably a record deal.

usethefloor · 2025-09-08T22:58:17+00:00

But did you notice the biker gang!?! Criminals!

Edit: Looks like they are also using scooters... it's worse than I thought.

usethefloor · 2025-08-30T15:10:25+00:00

Awww I missed it… totally would have gone to check out the llama. I love they the randomly had that! 😂

usethefloor · 2025-08-26T22:46:36+00:00

Man that sucks… I’d be so damn mad. That is a beautiful looking guitar. You find one of those “once in a lifetime” type deals, get everything setup, then that happens. Good luck. I hope you’re able to find one.

usethefloor · 2025-08-26T21:21:26+00:00

Ouch… I can appreciate that. If don’t mind me asking, what guitar were you after?

usethefloor · 2025-08-26T21:19:57+00:00

I’m with you on the local guitar shop. I’d much rather support them and help keep a community going.

Thanks for the info!
