    Death Magnetic is pretty fucking awesome. Better than Exodus' Atrocity Exhibition - Exhibit A, and Slayer's Christ Illusion. I don't care if people think "The Day That Never Comes" is lame, because that song is growing on me so fast and I'm starting to love it.

     

    Welcome back, Metallica. I've missed you so.

    The thing that got me was when we said you needed to use more psychology and less flashy highspots...when most of his matches have been flashy highspots (albeit not of the flippity-flop variety).

     

    Either way, I can agree with him one 2 points:

    1) Yes, younger wrestlers need to learn better psychology.

    2) Yes, Kurt Angle's matches are exciting, especially with the right opponent.

    But to have Punk not even compete was complete crap. It's a bait and switch and also makes Punk look like a, well, punk since he didn't wrestle and a much more banged up Jericho did instead.

    I agree with you until here. Punk received Orton's Concussion Kick, which has been put over as a CAREET THREATENING MOVE. It put Michaels on the shelf for months. It knocked SUPERMAN CENA out cold. It's been Orton's "no bullshit" move for the last couple of years. So Punk taking it and then either returning for the match, or just turning right around and just showing minor effects? That takes away a lot of the move's credibility, which given how Orton's been booked with it would be detrimental to Orton's return. It'd be similar to when Hogan took Vader's powerbomb and stood right back up. Jericho had time to recover, and given the WWE's explanation of brutal battles (see: anytime somebody practically died in the undercard and made it back out for main event interference) a little bit of time to recover and then get a cheap win is better than immediately no-selling an oddly protected "finisher."

    Yes, Mik. There's just something about her white trashiness that makes her music oddly listenable.

     

    Sad thing, Agent? I'm starting to dig doom a bit more. I used to dig it a lot, but then it all died for me when I started getting more into death. Doom and black, though...those are starting to lure me in.

    Fuuuckyes! This is a recent purchase, and I bought it based on the cover and band name alone. Look at that! It's pretty good too.

     

    I am really digging these new generation metal bands. The genre has gone through various permeations and all the elements have come in place to where a lot of bands just get it.

     

     

    I was talking with a friend of mine about a lot of the bands listed there in that shirts link. He said Doomriders were awesome, so they live up to their image.

     

    I need to just sell off half my cds, random stuff that I just picked up over the years, and even out my collection with hella prog and stoner and goregrind and crust and all that shit.

    Oh hell yeah. Skeletonwitch is pretty nice. IIRC, toured a bit with Municipal Waste and Toxic Holocaust, too. Agree on the current generation of metal bands: they just seem to get it. Even shyte like Job For A Cowboy, with their Skinless-lite death/grind, is better than a lot of what passed for "metal" about 10 years ago.

     

    Downside, though? It's mostly retreads. The current thrash scene is at its best since the glory days of the Bay Area (Gama Bomb, Bonded By Blood, Evile, Municipal Waste, and Toxic Holocaust stand out the best), and Engorged and Cannabis Corpse are solid old-school death metal acts, but...there's not a whole ton of innovation like what was happening with black and death metal a while back.

    Seems decent enough of an idea, can't help but think I've seen it before. Somewhere in an old PWI that some company promoted where you created a wrestler and did all of this sort of stuff.

    There were two similar things advertised in PWI. One was the IWA (Imaginary Wrestling Federation), which was a strat-based mail-in RPG that costed a minimum of $5 or so a cycle (which was about 3 weeks) where you created a character and gave them a moveset from the IWA's list, each of which had a varying point value. The only way to win was to out-score the opponent, though if you chose a move that could lead to a disqualification (manager interference, refusing to rope break, hidden spike, lowblow, etc.) in your arsenal there's the possibility that you could lose via DQ. It was alright, but it's basically just an e-fed that's played by mail and costs money.

     

    The other was a card/die game called Champions of the Galaxy. It was alright, but nothing really worth playing. It began and ended my card game/RPG phase, though I did create a character or two to put into my deck.

    Well, remember the shape he got himself in for the feud with Orton in '04. By his own account, he got himself into the best shape he'd been in since before "retiring." He wasn't even in too bad of shape during the Edge/ECW angle, truth be told. With TNA's more relaxed schedule, and considering he'll likely get more promo time than most others (considering he's one of the biggest names to sign to TNA to date, and he's well-known as a great talker), I'd say he'll prolly stick mostly to wrestling on PPV, and maybe doing a brawl here and there on Impact in between.

     

    I'm actually excited for this. I haven't been excited about watching TNA since the Joe/Styles/Daniels feud.

    TBK once was in a movie with Peter Frampton, but was not familiar with his body of work. When you are around a rock legend, but are not familiar with their body of work, you have to struggle to find things to talk about. So TBK found himself going "hey, Peter Frampton...DO YOU LIKE TOAST TOO?! Why yes, as do I. It is warm and crispy, and a perfect place for jelly to lay." TBK then told Peter Frampton to get the fuck away from him, because he doesn't have shit to say to him.

    Another new Metallica song... streamed off their site at Metallica.com.

     

    Or you can download here.. http://www.sendspace.com/file/k8esvs

     

    "My Apocalypse" ... it's thrashy.. and good.

    Mmmmm...structurally reminds me of Justice, as far as how the riffs themselves are, song is standard Metallica structure...not a bad link between the old and more recent stuff.
