Pentagram - Sign of the Wolf (Pentagram)

this is just fucking classic:

Blood Ceremony - "Return to Forever"

I so dig this band, I have been listening to their CD almost non-stop for like a year...

HIGH ON FIRE - "Rumors of War"

this song kicks my ass every time I hear it - Matt Pike(formerly of stonerdoom legends Sleep, who have actually gotten together for a few 'reunion' dates recently) is a riffing monster!

possible Bugera TriRec & Magician release dates?

okay - let's get the disclaimer out of the way first...  this is NOT official information IN ANY WAY, just something I "heard".  Where and from whom is not important...  

ESTIMATED USA RELEASE DATE FOR BUGERA TRIREC & MAGICIAN AMPS =
 
****drum roll****  

after JULY 2010

for the numerically challenged(or for those of you who actually voted for Obama), let me translate: ANY FREAKIN' DAY NOW!!!  *horns up*

Yes, yes, I know that DECEMBER is after July too, but you get the drift. ALOT of people are on the edge of their seats for these amps... will Bugera fizzle or sizzle? ...stay tuned.

UPDATE: It's now August 21, 2011, and neither one of these amps have hit the street yet... *grumpy sigh*

FAIL.... absolute... EPIC... fail

this has got to be one of the dumbest things I have read in a long time...

""I know AC-DC but I didn't know they wrote the song all this time. My gosh! But I could tell you this: I LOVE HEAVY DISTORTION SONGS. COuld you give me a list of ACDC songs with lot's of distiortion please?"


I didn't bother to correct any spelling mistakes, but yeah - the AC/DC song this mental deficient was referring to is "T.N.T." off their 1975 High Voltage album. (coincidentally, "T.N.T." is also the very first song I ever learned how to play on the guitar, some 23+ years ago)

This was posted on a youtube guitar stombox demo video from ProGuitarShop(dot)com, so I'm assuming this person also considers themselves something of a musician(maybe?).




seriously - please consider getting yourself sterilized/spayed/neutered - the gene pool deserves better.

"Political correctness"

"Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end."
