From the Led Zeppelin 1973 Madison Square Garden concert. It's the best rendition of stairway to heaven I've heard. It's performed by the band just as their coming into their own. The video is thing of beauty. I think that picture from it is pretty badass. I like the double shot with the guitar. It was my background for a while.

I know we've all heard the song a million times, but Zep is so much better live. The song has a different feeling in this video. Also, the solo,last verse and ending of the song give me goosebumps everytime. Literally. every single time.

Here's Cactus Jack, aka Mick Foley.

This is him smiling after letting his friend suplex him onto an exploding bomb, which covered his arm and back in 3rd degree burns. He did that for fun, and a desire to be known as the craziest professional wrestler ever to live. He won the King of the Deathmatch tournament that night.

Because he got suplexed onto a bomb, cut by barbed wire, and had his face stomped into tacks, he asked his Japanese boss if he could have a bonus. His boss came back to his locker room with a six pack of Natty Light. He said thanks.

You may think this guy in an idiot professional wrestler who maims himself for petty glory's. But keep in mind, the guy achieved his dreams, and is widely known as the craziest professional wrestler of all time.

Now? He writes children's books.

He used to live right next to us, and I played with his kids a few times. He's actually a really nice guy. He always was wearing casts and the like, but over all a real grade A person. He didn;t let us put up our basketball hoop though :(.

Yeah I read that too. The other young Marines were scared to go in so he grabbed a gun and fired into the shop. Hitting a compressed tank of some kind sending it bouncing around the store causing the insurgent that a Marine was choking to snap from the brink of suffocation and continue fighting.

His pay for that day was $300. He was in three death matches: One involving thumbtacks, one involving beds of nails and barbed-wire, and the last involving barbed wire and C-4.

He never got paid.

He works for TNA now and is off television since he hates the way the management is handling storylines and the well being of the wrestlers. A WH2K poster saw him in a Walmart last year buying WWE action figures for his kids. He's so broken down he can barely walk, had to lean on the shelving unit, and still stopped and talked to a fan for a few minutes before limping to the checkout.

Mick Foley loving owns.

Also, the "bonus" was a bottle of soda from a machine. Mick doesn't drink. He still bowed to Mr Asano and thanked him. And then walked to the hospital.

"Fake" as in staged and choreographed, yes, not "fake" as in what you see isn't really happening. A lot of their hits look soft because they are, but when you see blood, it's actual blood from them cutting their foreheads with razor blades. When Mick Foley wraps his body in barbed wire, he actually wraps his body in barbed wire. They do tricks with thumb tacks and poo poo because it hurts, but doesn't actually risk life and limb.

Well, there are wrestlers, and then there are "wrestlers". Some people either don't want/haven't the patients to learn proper pro wrestling. Therefore, in order to make up for their total lack of skill they find as many random objects they can and use them to hit/throw onto/jump off onto their opponents during the match, the more dangerous the better.

However, sometimes these matches are really good. And there are pro wrestlers that are really skilled that do hardcore matches like that from time to time.

Not to mention that Grylls has a camera crew.
Stroud just traveled with 2 cameras.
He always had to set up a camera to film himself walking away, then go back and get it.
Which is why he quit doing his show, but that doesn't mean he isn't hardcore for doing it as long as he did.

This is actually false. Due to legal and insurance reasons, Stroud always had a support crew within one mile of his location. They never interfered with his filming but he always had support. Television networks don't just let their actors put themselves in live threatening situations with no life line. There's a good reason too- you don't want your "survival expert" freezing to death while filming.

Bear Grylls is pretty legit, read his wiki. He's done some goddamn amazing things, including climbing everest at a really young age.

No poo poo they didn't just send Stroud out there alone for a week.
Nothing I said was false. They both had support crews, the difference is the stuff Stroud filmed himself doing was more or less legit. Grylls went back to the hotel with the crew at the end of the day, Stroud slept in his little debris huts he built.
