Metal Pet Peeves

[Snare]

And their "For Fans of..." stickers. I got Pig Destroyer "Phantom Limb" yesterday, and this big feck-off sticker claimed it's for fans of Slayer, Mastadon, Lamb of God, Melvins... Really?? And there's no hope of removing this sticker  Unless of course you have hard won experience of a 2nd hand shop in Waterford!

Hairdryer lads, melt the adhesive. Low setting and patience.

People spelling Mastodon wrong

Ahem...

Was this Luca records?You probably paid over the odds for it too

[hellfire]

The stickers in Rainbow were the ones that were impossible to get off. Luca records is a joke. €80 for a recent press of the Fear Factory album Soul of A New Machine anyone?

To each his own and all that but I see far too many lads in bands with big, long, grey beards. If you aren't 65 + years of age with a bus pass, or if you didn't do a stint in ZZ TOP, is that really a good look? By far the most ridiculous of late is Rob Halford, who may actually qualify for a bus pass come to think of it.

Again, to each his own.

If they didn't have beards, you'd see the all the double chins and turkey necks.

After receiving my Anno Domini Black Sabbath CD box set and being disappointed by the el cheapo layout I just fired on the Non Serviam reissue LP so you get two moans for the price of one (Don't worry, I'll still rip you off).

The Non Serviam booklet contains a decent in depth look at the recording of the album and there are several (at least one) mentions of how brilliant the lyrics are, of how much Jim Mutilator has developed as a lyricist and delved further than ever before into his occult studies for inspiration.

The only thing missing from the booklet? The goddamn motherfucking lyrics  Genius.

My metal pet peeve would be the Vinyl Repress issue of classic metal records.There's no insert whatsoever so you have to pull out your old tapes for tiny lyrics etc.

I actually bought the recent Floga tape reissue of Non Serviam in Japan a couple of months ago so I have listened to the LP while reading the tape insert with one eye closed and arms outstretched... not ideal.

  The joys of old age!

The Originals CD boxset of the first 3 Megadeth albums is cool in that the CD's are slipcases with inserts being replicas of the LP formats. Cool out but I'd probably be straining at this stage to read them!

Lying on the couch in your robe and slippers with a cup of tea, scrutinizing Megadeth lyrics with the lyric sheet blue tacked to the end of a long stick with a pair of binoculars gaffataped to your face guarantees a swift, one way trip to the cheapest nursing home your loved ones can find.

That's the standard price unfortunately. And it's Warner's that's distributing  so they'd have the thumb on the scales too.
