Yep.

G.B.H, motherfuckers. The End
My 80s acid trips were usually accompanied by at least one spin of Born Again and Sabotage. Fuck, I love those albums. I'm not passionate enough about Sab to really argue singer preferences, but up to Born Again you really can't go wrong.

GBH- fuck. Another stellar band that defines their genre and always hits the spot.

No takers for Mercyful Fate. That's a surprise.

Could never stomach the voice. It just didn't fit in with my conception of metal.

Always preferred his solo stuff, but King wouldn't even make it into my top 30.

GBH would though. That's what brings me back to high school days.

Hallo, Blood Sister.

GBH rules hard too. I saw 'em twice at the 'plex, and both times were fucking insane. "Give Me Fire" soundtracked my acid drop from a parked school bus. My Hosoi Hammerhead broke in half and I broke both my ankles. Killer.

It sounds like a pop sensibility to me. Perhaps pop punk is unfair, though, with too many Green Day connotations or whatever. Which is not what I meant.

HOLY SHIT. You're hardcore. I had a Christian Hosoi poster over my bed. Surely he wasn't lending his name to shoddy products? It must have been your hardcoreness.

That deck went through a lot. It was already splinttered to hell n back from endless street skate mayhem and the acid drop from the schoooool bus just buried its ass. Lasted three summers! Longer than Powell Peralta Skull n Sword and Black Flag decks so...

Not an easy thing to answer, but all things considered, it is probably The Beatles.

I've been listening to Galder for years now and I don't see me ever changing Old Man's Child as not my favorite Metal band. He has consistently been putting out Very well thought over Material for years now. I think he's one of the greatest all around composer's. Sure he's not the greatest guitar player by any means but I look at the big picture of how it was all put together and he has yet to disappoint me. He sticks to Organic sounds and I love that. And here's something from his newest CD.

Blasphemy! King Diamond/Mercyful fate rule. I've probably told this to anyone I've gotten drunk with but king d is like if Yngwie tried to make a black metal band, cold atmosphere and sick shredding. the best!

FUCK!
They're playing at the Masq tonight. I can snag free tickets from WREK. Does anybody want to go before Brutal Truth?

Completely serious by the way. I need to know within the next hour or two.
