Excel? Ah, he's just trying to spread shit.

I love Dokken but their success back in the day always mystified me. Granted, George is elite level, but Don is such a charisma vaccuum as a vocalist, but it still works so smoothly.

Just put a couple of nice Ibanez up for sale

They're utterly surreal when you see them combined with bulbous and misshapen lips, this effect of a giant mouth which doesn't fit on the head it's attached to.

Not so much a peeve as a general sadness, really, over kids abandoning looking human for the sake of... I don't fucking know. I had to travel to England and back over the last week, the amount of young ones with the botox and fake teeth thing going on was fucking depressing. I don't get the appeal of looking lumpy and swollen like you were badly stung by wasps. Most of them look like they're in pain. Then, the creepy blinding whiteness of perfectly uniform and clearly fake teeth and the obligatory shit tattoos to adhere this bizarre aesthetic trend which, teeth at least, will require a lifetime of engineering maintenance. I am generally sheltered from this shit in my day-to-day life so it's quite jarring to see how popular this bizarre mutilation has become among fucking kids.

There's no way this Ride The Lightning cover will be anything other than a total catastrophe. I simply cannot fucking wait to hear it 

I saw Seven Sisters at KIT this year. From all I had heard about them beforehand, I was expecting much, much more. No spark, bland, by-the-numbers heavy metal which is nowhere near as good as I suspect they think it is. I really don't see the appeal at all.

Fucking awful. A load of solos trying to distract you from how weak the song is. The snare and rhythm guitar sounds are surprisingly bad, too. Sounds like a modeller was used for the guitar but there are great sounding modellers out there, it's a harsh and dry sound, I wonder are Dave's ears as fucked as his voice. Ditto for the snare, he has used triggered samples since at least Drover's time in the band, they've gone with a really flat sounding sample. Fuck all depth to the sound, it sticks out like a sore thumb.

Then there are those lyrics 🤣

I ordered a chainsaw from Screwfix last week, a not cheap electric one which didn't come with batteries, so I had to order not cheap batteries too. No bother. It should have been delivered on Friday but I received an email from DPD on Friday morning telling me "Your parcel has been delayed due to an unexpected issue."

It was delivered by DPD this afternoon in a big cardboard box which opened unusually easily. Inside, there was a box with the chainsaw in it but surprise, surprise, there was a big empty space where I imagine the two batteries were.

They can't despatch two new batteries to me because they will have to do a weight check on the box which left the warehouse. They tell me I can't just go to either of the Screwfixes in Kilkenny or Clonmel and pick replacements up in person either because I selected delivery in the first place so their only option is to deliver again, even though the original batteries mysteriously vanished during delivery. I'm stuck with a useless fucking chainsaw until their warehouse trawls through the records and then they send new batteries out for delivery again.

Bah humbug to thieving cunts.

I had something delivered a few months ago from screwfix which was missing parts so I rang them and got the got the same spiel that I couldn't go to the local screwfix and get a replacement as it would have to be delivered again to match the original dispatch method, but to get the ball rolling I would have to take the original item with the missing parts to the local screwfix to get the ball rolling and to save time, so I took the item into the local screwfix and they gave me a replacement there and then no questions asked as they had a record of the phone call I made reporting the issue. 

The replacement batteries arrived today. I can't say delivered, as the cunt just lobbed the jiffy bag over the gate, left them in the pissing rain and drove off. Luckily, I caught the end of the cunt pulling away and was able to get them before they were soaked through. It hit the ground hard enough to burst the box one of the batteries was in. I got delivery notification, hilariously complete with a blurry picture of them lying on the soaked driveway, over 20 minutes later.

Fuck DPD.

They might be offering you the cash price 😉
