Peter Cullen, AKA Optimus Prime since the original cartoons.

Shite week for the arts!

I'm not talking about anyone here. I'm talking about the sort of dribbling fanboys who cannot find a difference in quality between Master of Puppets and St. Anger because having "Metallica" printed on the label automatically makes it the greatest thing ever recorded.

I'm talking about the sort of fanboys who have to be asked not to wear their crusty "birth, school, Metallica, death" t-shirt to every family occasion and are borderline upset about it.

I'm talking about the sort of fanboys who are insulted when you ask them what other bands are you into because how very dare anyone listen to a band who aren't Metallica.

I'm talking about the fanboys who hear the "Metallica Family" nonsense and believe it's about them.

I'm talking about grown men in their 50s who have made Metallica their entire personality since their teens.

But as inferred by my original statement (congrats on getting your knickers in a twist and not engaging your brains for a second, by the way), if ye want to pay good money for a St. Anger gig, then fill your boots.

Tom G. Warrior Rides Me Raw.

It's always the people you most expect.

Some of the fans are such sycophantic cocksockets for Papa Het & Co. that a St. Anger set would still do gangbusters.

Imagine being as talented behind the kit as Mario Duplantier and then having to watch Ulrich.

Mildred Pierce is heavier than a ten Guinness poo.

Animals As Leaders - s/t.
Obliteration - Black Death Horizon.
Voivod - Dimension Hatross. Fuck me if the breakdown in Psychic Vacuum isn't one of the best things in metal.

DJ Shadow has the answer...

It's got that similar "kinda talking" buzz that Araya has. Genuinely surprised there, not bad at all.

Lacing up a new pair of shoes just right. Tedious shite altogether.

100% agree about Dirty (sorry  )

It was my second SY album (after Washing Machine, which I never really warmed to - edit - I do remember enjoying The Diamond Sea, and Panty Lies being good demented, so I might give it a revisit this evening), and what hooked me. Teresa's Sound World and Wish Fulfilment are fucking beautiful. Would put Chapel Hill and Youth Against Fascism up there with them too, but overall there's barely a duff note on the album.

No Enter Sandman tonight- I'd say the crowd rocking up hoping to hear Thunderstuck were pissed off with that.

Oh I dont know, plenty of good hits tonight. Savage gig

My fuckin hole. 5 bangers in 2 and a half hours. 
Absolute shite

Me cousin (who's a big music head but not into metal) was at it, and he sent on the Serlist FM link...

It absolutely peaked with Leper Messiah, and that was the third song.

Shadow of a Doubt is absolutely top notch.

Fuck it, was about to go to bed when my current NP (MBV - Loveless) finished, but I might lash on Evol before. And Sister, as that's great too.

No Enter Sandman tonight- I'd say the crowd rocking up hoping to hear Thunderstuck were pissed off with that.

Jiminy Cricket, those cunts. I remember singing along to a 70s AC/DC tune in Punchestown back in 2009 and had some lad ask me with genuine wonder who I knew the words to that song.
