Red Hot Thumbtack In The Eye

How much do y'all want to bet that this is Stevie, or a friend of Stevie's who's working this campaign?

HHH V Benoit - It seems like it would make the most sense as far as who deserves it. Chris Jericho V Shelton Benjamin - No brainer for me after Raw. Very over and looked good as hell in the ring. I want to see my beloved Christy Hemme in an aerobics challenge. Flair V Orton needs to be a falls count anywhere so they can at least do some brawling and hair pull dancing and get the fans involved when Orton runs out of things to do in the ring. This will also help hide a typical stinky Flair performance. That's all I'm particularly interested in seeing from this show.

Pinned thread should pretty much cover any of your needs.

That fat bastard is fucking clutch. I am predicting that the Red Sox are going to the world series, because when I watch baseball (rarely), the team I pick to win always does.

Good god, why can't they stop playing??? I turn it off for some RAW...then it's still on, go for a shower....still on.... The last three games of this series = probably 10 times more ball than what I watched through the whole season. Kudos to the managers for somehow managing to keep their brains from melting from all the actual managing they have to do.

Taken from another board which also didn't link the story. But it's probably on BMouth or some shit. ---- SCUM (photo), an all-new project featuring Samoth (ZYKLON, ex-EMPEROR), Faust (ex-EMPEROR), Happy Tom (TURBONEGRO), Casey Chaos (AMEN) and Cosmocrator (MINDGRINDER), have begun recording an album at Crystal Canyon Studio (TURBONEGRO, WE, EUROBOY) in Norway. Although no label or album title has been finalized, provisional songtitles include "Gospels for the Sick", "The Truth Will Be Sold" and "Hate the Sane". Chaos spoke to the U.K.'s Terrorizer magazine from the studio about the genesis of the project and the unfolding nature of the music. "Over the past two years I've had a project here," he begins, "I'm trying to make an album that's never been made before. It incorporates black metal with real punk rock. They say it was my brainchild to a degree, but I don't look at it that way, it's been like a war (laughs)! They're the best people I've ever played with. I've never, ever seen people so dedicated. "The real crime," he continues, "is that these guys haven't been playing together all this time. They're so gifted, there's so much natural chemistry. I never understood why I never really got into American metal but Norwegian black metal always had a place… I can tell now. They're so dedicated and so pure. It's a real purity thing. EMPEROR turned me on to black metal, pretty much, it changed my life in the way that punk did and I wanted to do something that would be an important record and reach out to other people. The intent of punk rock and black metal are basically the same. You're outcasts of society." On the style of the still-emerging songs he adds, "It doesn't sound like anything, that's the best thing. It doesn't even sound like what I thought it was gonna sound like. The original blueprint was Norwegian black metal with hooky, punk rock choruses, something along those vibes. But it's turned into a total inspiration for everybody. I've never experienced anything like it in my life and I've gone through a lot of shit (laughs)! It just goes from one song sounding like SWANS meets SABBATH to songs that have an old DARKTHRONE vibe, to DISSECTION, to NEUROSIS, to CELTIC FROST — it's those vibes but it's not blatantly stealing. And me singing on it makes it a lot different. It's a total freedom album and the band's bigger than all of us." On his role as frontman he commented, "Vocally it's the most challenging thing I've done. At times I'm pushing myself to do the black metal thing, but it's way more. There's something weird happening." He concluded, "I think everyone who hears it will just be blown away. It's gonna shake some shit up." ----- Of course, since it's my sworn Black Metal duty, I will be checking this out when it comes but I get the feeling that it is going to make me miss Emperor far worse than I already do.

I don't like being tricked into going into 'that' section.

An online test once told me that I'm a democrat.

HEY! This is how clouds, and classic threads, are born.

I'd just come back.

I'd say that's quite the generalization, there. Maybe a little pot.kettle.black on top of that, but I haven't decided yet.

This must be another site that jacked the ShareReactor database. Very nice though, thanks.

Greatest forum ever, only because they mimic the section descriptions of this place to the letter.

He's pretty overexposed lately.

That commercial is the worst.

" Forever Rotting in a wrong Trojan Horse" The title of the next album from my WARmore project, to be certain.

Eggnog and rootbeer paralyzers are a grand christmas treat. Worst beverage is any form of the new sugar coolers like Mike's hard or the Smirnoff ones.

Should I post a little less in this forum? Maybe spend more time in the WWE section or something? Because I'm just really not feeling it in HD lately.

Shadow's Fall - The War Within 1. The Light That Blinds 2. Enlightened By The Cold 3. Act Of Contrition 4. What Drives The Weak 5. Stillness 6. Inspiration On Demand 7. The Power Of I And I 8. Ghost Of Past Failure 9. Eternity Is Within 10. Those Who Cannot Speak And I don't actually have a serious hate on for this release like I thought I might. The opening acoustic piece sets up the first song just fine, and the first song is total riff madness. Only problem is that the whole things starts off sounding like a Nevermore song if it was played by an energetic Joe Stump. It's just mad up and down strumming speed that disguises the fairly untechnical nature of the scaling. This is very much the nature of many of the other songs on this record aswell. It's fun to listen to but you're kidding yourself if you think it's innovative playing. Performances are competent, if not unpredictable in almost every way that their genre demands. Drums are double kicked appropriately for a stomp appeal, guitars are shreddy when needed, moshy when needed. You know the drill for NuMetal. I'm sure that this stuff comes off really well in a live setting if you're just looking for something to jump to. Vocals follow the same rules basically as there is plenty of Hard Core shouting mixed with suprisingly (for a big budget band anyway, why the producer would allow that is beyond me) unconfident sounding clean singing. They even manage to sneak some death metal gruff growling in there, but it's really for show since it doesn't go anywhere with the music, neither leading nor accentuating. Shadow's Fall are masters of their world and this record will undoubtedly get a ton of praise from more mainstream rock press. And really, they deserve the good press they'll get, if only because they are about the best ambassadors to ..."Real"... Heavy Metal coming out of the current crop of big budget touring bands today. When I heard some of their previous output, I believed that they were being primed to be the second coming of Metallica. Now that Nevermore has seemingly dropped off the radar, I get the feeling that they are being inserted into their spot to continue their work of progressive without pretense metal that appeals to the masses. Only this band wears dreadlocks and baggier pants. They just aren't quite there yet. A release that should not offend tr00 'bangers (but will anyway), and one that should be heard just to see the face of the top general of the enemy that is mainstream or Nu Metal. The Swiss: 1. The guitar work isn't innovative or mind blowing, but when the chording starts to take over, the band shows hard chops and what sound like some pretty off kilter chords patterns to keep things momentarily interesting 2. The band members have at least and very good understanding of their instruments and how to use them. This greatly helps the quality of the material, particularly when they get into the more generic areas of mosh stomp chug chug 3. The band is one musical revelation away from becoming the numer one "Straight Metal" band on the planet. The Cheese: 1. The flip side to number 2 above. The biggest problem with that technical ability is that they generally don't use it properly. Particularly in the lead guitar shreds. They are played fast...and not much else. Nothing terribly interesting happens. 2. further to number 3 above, this band would probably get Slayer level cred if they stopped listening to their producer/label so much and just slammed it. Too much production hurts, but it still retains that intentional dirtyness that occurs when you're trying to force feeling into your sound. 3. Too much simplification on the parts that are obviously designed safely for singals play on radio 4. Corey will surely fap over this record, that bastard. 6.5/10 I wouldn't buy it, but I'm not terribly offended while listening. Guess that's why I downloaded it. Wasted Opportunities is pretty much the theme of my thinking about this one.

I always knew that when everything came to a head here...it would come to that.

IDRM, you know me pretty well here. Help me, what do I do now?

I should have said I miss Eagan, nobody would have hurt me so badly if I said that.

From the experience I've had with ephedra...it's a motherfucker. Avoid.
