luke-o 0 Report post Posted August 9, 2007 Don't bring FF into this shit. Fear Factory were fucking great before Digimortal. Soul of a New Machine is a classic album, and Demanufacture is the archetype for all industrial/cyber metal following it (I actually like the term "cyber metal" for it rather than "industrial metal," seeing as how it's not that dance-able, outside of the techno remixes, but still has a machine-like feel to it). Obsolete is pretty tight, and even Archetype is really good. Digimortal, though, sucks a donkey cock. I don't even remember what their last album was called...so yeah... Everything about this paragraph is correct. My friend (who is embarassingly 5 years older than me) has the Coal Chamber logo tattooed on his wrist. He's not particually proud of it these days.

Corey_Lazarus 0 Report post Posted August 9, 2007 The awkward smiley-faced thing? That logo was actually not too bad for what it was designed to be (a mallgoth band). But yeah...why would you get a band's logo inked onto you when the band itself probably doesn't have a whole hell of a lot of lasting power? I can see people getting the third eye done (Tool's sorta-logo; half of my friends have it, including my girlfriend), the Crimson Ghost (considering that the Misfits are legendary, and you see the logo everywhere), even the fucking Sepultribe S...but a smiley face drawn by a 14-year-old after smoking a bad jibb? The fuck...? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The fuck...? To make matters worse, if I remember correctly, he got it because he was excited about the 2nd album coming out. Only to find out, when the album came out, that is was pure shit. Someone I used to work with (i'm not calling him a friend as he's a moron) got the heartagram logo tattooed on the inside of his wrist during the hight of Viva La Bam on MTV. What a prick.

Corey_Lazarus 0 Report post Posted August 9, 2007 Haven't. I detest the bulk (about 90%) of Danzig's solo work. Besides...I've seen the modern Misfits lineup (Jerry Only, Dez Cadena, and Robo), so that's sorta the same due to Robo. Also, the Heartagram is a HIM thing that Bam Margera sorta adopted unto his own. Shit, HIM wouldn't even have a States-side career if not for the spoiled prick.

Boxer 0 Report post Posted August 11, 2007 This definately doesn't deserve a thread, but it could be good news: 50 Cent believes his new album will outsell Kanye West's upcoming disc, and he's betting his solo career on it. Both 50 Cent and West have albums due out Sept. 11. 50 Cent, who has sold better than West, has been riled by forecasts that sales of West's "Graduation" could rival those for his "Curtis" CD. "Let's raise the stakes," the 31-year-old rapper told hip-hop Web site SOHH.com in an interview posted Friday. "If Kanye West sells more records than 50 Cent on September 11, I'll no longer write music. I'll write music and work with my other artists, but I won't put out anymore solo albums."

Apparently the new thing is that a video leaked for one of his songs that was due in October. 50 got pissed and smashed some stuff and now isn't talking to his label Interscope. He thinks it was an inside job. As for Kayne, I think Ja Rule and company should buy as many albums as possible, to you know, support Kanye! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nighthawk 0 Report post Posted August 17, 2007 This is an obscure one, and I likely won't get helped, but I'll throw it out there. On Patton Oswalt's new album Werewolves and Lollipops there's a bit about him idolizing really crazy, screwed up musicians, and he mentions Roky Erickson and GG Allin, who I know, and one other person. I can't even really understand what he's saying. It sounds like Hazzel Atkins, but I have no idea who that is and it gives me no search results, so that's likely not it. Any idea?
