The Action Man doll you always dreamed of, Finbarr?

You cunt 

You'll buy one for some anal play no doubt.... Rob won't mind

Keeping it firmly in the 80s this week 

Anthrax - Among The Living
Metallica - Garage Days...
Megadeth - So Far, So Good, So What!
Suicidal Tendencies - Join The Army
Def Leppard - Pyromania

It's a decent song. I've not really been impressed with any of their later material (really didn't like Black Ice) but this seems better overall.

Milk it. Get loads of Facebook likes and artificial sympathy, take a day off to listen to his music and drink to his memory (might have to swing in to Golden Discs on your way home to grab a greatest hits CD). Shit, I'm starting to well up here myself, now that I think about it. I might take the day off myself...

The faux sadness tweet trawling for likes.

"Rest In Power #EddyVanHallen. I remember once seeing you on MTV. Jump into heaven. #Jump #EddyVanHalo #EddiVanHeaven #VanValen #VanTheMan"

On a side note, when did "Rest In Power" slip into people's vocabularies? Did it sneak in at the same time as "wet pubs"? Maybe I live under a rock and missed it but horseshite new phrases seem to pop up overnight.

A low point in 2020 fashion is asking the missus does this face mask go with these overalls! 

Eddie Van Halen has died. A true pioneer of the electric guitar.

And what could be sadder than a Motorhead colouring book?

A Lemmy face mask of course!

Dave Ellefson is on Jobbridge 

Dirty little fuckers of mice. They've recently moved in large numbers to the garage and I discovered they have been eating anything and everything they can. I have it baited and trapped like a minefield now and have caught 6 of the cunts in 24 hours.

People here seem to miss that lads like Bell and Dave Lombardo would have agreed to their terms and conditions and people like Max Cavalera made the decision to step away. For whatever reason they ended up losing or selling their rights but thats just business.
And similarly people like Olde Wolbers and Kisser had stakes in their bands by agreement with all parties at the time. Being in a band since day one doesn't afford you some supreme ownership rights. These are businesses! Do any of ye work for a company where the odd time the old plant manager swans in for a crack at the whip again? Didn't think so.

In the Fear Factory case, Herrera and Olde Wolbers sued because the contract arrangement they were in (also agreed with Bell and possibly Cazares) was breached and had every right to fight for it.

Remember when Dave Lombardo took to social media to cry about his salary.... the salary outlined in the contract he signed? He should have negotiated better when he was coming back.

That slightly scary sinus wakeup call you get when you accidentally put too much Colmans English Mustard in your sambo.

Corrosion Of Conformity - Wiseblood
Still a hugely enjoyable listen 24 years after release. I know I'm in the minority when I say it's superior to Deliverance (not Blind. In before Justin!  )

Megadeth - So Far... So Good... So What!

This has long been my favourite Megadeth album. It's sandwiched between two greats but it really captures the manic side of the band and has a dangerous, nasty edge to it.

I know people criticize the drumming (not Chucks fault), the sex pistols cover (which is infinitely better than I Ain't Superstitious) and the tonne of reverb  but there is no denying the quality of stuff like Set The World Afire, Liar and Hook In Mouth.

I had it on in the backround only half paying attention when it was on the other night. Most of Metallica's material is just too busy for that sort of thing tbh, I'd say it was a pain in the arse for the engineer to mix too.

The lad playing Anesthesia on the double bass (?) was class though.

Think about the fact that the highlight of a Metallica gig comes from a guy that isn't in Metallica
