JUDE

Northwestern Ohio.

Speaking of Ohio, how could Neil Young write the ultimate protest song, Ohio, and then write this current Living With War or whatever crap?

Btw, I still own a white Gibson Explorer that I got in 11th grade (because I wanted to be James Hetfield).

Gibson Explorer > ESP Explorer copy

Uncle Ted

Scott Ian and that Bonham dude are the only two people on that show that I like, The Nuge' is way to arrogant when compared to his actual accomplishments.

Back before they completely lost it.

"My Lifestyle Determines My Deathstyle". Brilliant.

"Chop your breakfast on a mirrior" how can you go from that to the crap they write now.

I stopped listening to these guys after Justice For All.

Shark jumping album.

Not to change subjects, but I can't watch Supergroup and see Sebastion without thinking about that story of him meeting Peel (I think it was her story).

- those guys are such douchebags.

...don't even get me started on Lars

Were they totally douchebags back in the mid eighties, I just thought they were the dorky metal kids who found a cool sound.

I thought they just got to be douchebags when they got big and got inflated ego's.

Lars needs a big glass of shut up juice.

Spiders>heavy metal

Now you're just being silly.

heavy metal sucks

Blasphemer!

I used to have a cassette interview with Lars Ulrich in which he described, in great blabber-mouth detail, all the songs on their as-of-then unreleased new album (Puppets). I listened to that stupid thing dozens of times while waiting impatiently for the record to finally come out.

Cliff-em-All > I am Trying to Break Your Heart

I just billed one of my clients nearly 5K for the month!

Are you going to buy Master of Puppets with those earnings? If not how does this statment relate to the current subject matter?

Match 7 - "Orion" vs. "Ktulu". At one time, I could actually play a lot of "Orion" on the guitar...and I usually skipped Ktulu...so "Orion" it is.

Orion was the first time I had ever seen an inverted 5th or "power" chord used, it literally blew my mind.

That's a bold statement...

Bold opinion actally, but you could make the argument that YHF is Wilco's Master of Puppets

See the following similarities:

1.Up until Master of Puppets, Metallica was relatively obscure, this album opened up a larger fan base.

2. After the release of Master of Puppets a key member of the band left the group, squished by a bus actually but I digress, and the band's output started to suck.

We're all dying, Louie. Dying since the day we were born...

Actually we don't really start to die until approx. 18 yrs of age, on a cellular level at least.

Master of Puppets > YHF

Ride the Lightning or Master of Puppets?

I can read your mind.

 

P.S. My pal Jeff and I saw the Monsters of Rock tour at the Meadowlands that summer. Interestingly enough, the douchebag bass player for Kingdom Come (who seemed very coked up) tried to convince me and Jeff to drive him into NYC after the show (we were staying at the same hotel). Jeff, who has more balls than me, told him we'd have been happy to if his band wasn't so awful.

I think that 86' - 87' was the best period for Metallica T-shirts.

Kingdom Come. Pure aural shit.

How the hell did you know that?

At the Monsters Of Rock concert in 87' I actually slept through the Scorpions set. I had already rocked out to Dokken, Metallica and some other band who's name escapes me at this time. The Scorps. flight was delayed 2 hrs and combined with the beers I had consumed prior to that it seemed like a good time to catch some Z's. Last thing I remember was Klause Meine running around trying to get the crowd to do "the wave" while jabbering in broken English. I woke up in time for Van Halens set.

He's obviously a coward of the worst kind.

And ruin everything weve come so far to enjoy. Then maybe we can neuter/spade Lassie, shave Dakota Fannings head and kill Santa Clause. You Wilco scrooges break my heart.

I'm glad you were nominated to speak for all Wilco fans, I stand corrected. I was only speaking my opinion/wishes.

I'm not sure about Jeff rockin the homeless dude/ teen wolf look. While a good band, I can't wait for the day Jeff ....

On another note, I think maybe Jeff watched Iron Maidens Live After Death DVD too many times with all of the crowd screaming-interraction on Kingpin, ala "scream for me Long Beach."

I was there.

I'm not sure about Jeff rockin the homeless dude/ teen wolf look. While a good band, I can't wait for the day Jeff takes Nels, Mike, and Pat aside and says "64th notes, feedback, multiple keyboards and hitting your instruments with maracas, spatulas and pizza cutters has been done to death. Wilco needs to progress to a higher level. Jay Bennet and I have been talking and he's off the drugs, booze and he's quit the cigs; plus he's got this bitchin beard now so I think I'd like to work with him again. It's been real."

I'll be there, you may hear me I'll be the one talking loudly during quiet songs and yelling 'Jeff I love you' at the most inopportune moments.

I deleted my picture of Hitler(Adolph) from my Ipod.
