InitialDave posted:You need bigger pockets. Well, it was a fifth... seemed sufficient for just the two of us! Then we went and saw a showing of The Doors movie "Final Cut" with a Q&A with Oliver Stone and John Densmore at the Wiltern and that was cool, but Jim Morrison seems a lot less awesome now that I'm not 15 anymore like I was when I read "No One Here Gets Out Alive". Lotta major Doors Fans still though.

And It wasn't beard pulling. Sabaton are on my poo poo list after writing an epic about how cool and good the Bismarck was... for World of Warships sponsorship. I don't think they're fash, but they've got that weird fascination with military history and blindness to context thing going. Rammstein on the other hand have never stopped kicking rear end. They're going to be back in the US next year, I'm going to have to swing tickets.

Still want to go to a show though - a live one on youtube looked like a lot of fun and they can actually play live. Rammstein is a must for me before I or they get too old to rock out.

We’ve decided it doesn’t matter where they perform when they come to Australia in the next few years, we’re gonna catch at least one, probably two of their concerts. I’m not driving to Perth tho. gently caress that!

Solid old York, you should get it clear coated. Til Lindemann is a loving physical monster, like Travis Pastrana, just completely unkillable and it made no sense 20 years ago how a 40 yo slightly chonky German dude could run out on stage with fireworks shooting out his shoes and do a standing backflip.

Yeah Perth is 100% out for me, even though I have a few old army buddies there I havent seen in 17 years. I could probably fly around the world cheaper than over to Perth. I'm guessing you are Melb or Radelaide?

I do have 3 months long service leave banked up, so the idea of driving Adelaide->Brisbane (concert) Brisbane -> Sydney (Concert) and Sydney to Melbourne (concert) then back home again isnt totally out of the question. It would legitimately be cheaper than flying tho, cos we can load the truck up with swags and camping poo poo and just tour our way down the coast staying for free or in unpowered sites vs flying and having to pay for hotel rooms.

Game looked good enough on the LGR review/peek, but not worth it to purchase now that I know it comes from a place of such utter hate. (That said, if you've already got it and are past the return window, eh enjoy the game - death of the author and all that. Not your fault for not knowing of course.) No photos but I replaced one of the cats in my 08 CVPI a month or two ago and my mileage went from 15 to 22mpg, despite no codes prior. Bad injector hosed that cat bad. And now the radiator fan is vibrating like crazy on the highest (compressor-on) speed. If I can make it through until the winter then I'm good for another six months or so, because on the normal "just cooling the radiator, mate" speed it's perfectly quiet.

Sabaton's entire gimic is singing about military history/machines outside of other context though which they've said in interviews - it'd be like saying Alestorm are weirdly obessed with pirates. They now have a history channel which dives into the background stories behind the songs which is interesting. Making a sponsored song is fine, the only issue with it is that it's not a great song.

But are you genuinely missing the music more, or is it maybe that you're missing the highs of your youth? Because for me it's the latter. In terms of music, the amateur/indie scene positively exploded when SoundCloud, Bandcamp and so forth came out.

The Iron Maiden thing, if their pushback on the naming is related to this, and it's a way for them to rap the knuckles of people they think are dicks, it makes more sense, but if they weren't aware and it's just overly aggressive trademark defence, I still disagree with people/companies doing that.

STR posted:First time at a Catholic service of any kind. They kept it surprisingly short (only about an hour), and the parents encouraged jeans and band shirts, since that's all friend ever wore. Somehow I didn't completely lose it (I don't handle funerals well), but there wasn't a dry eye in the place. Good to see all of my old friends; first time in at least 12-14 years we've all been in the same place at the same time. Definitely the last time we'll be in the same place at the same time. Had no idea that not only did a couple have kids, said kids were in loving high school. Out of curiosity, did it end up that your friend went the suicide route? Some Catholic diocese are very cagey with that and the last sacrament and interning in a Catholic cemetery.

Then get mad about lovely copyright laws and the need for them to do that for legal precedent reasons, they're just playing the game. e: personally i think the laws ought to be greatly restricted in scope, but also things tweaked to where ie having a video game named the same as your band, without infringing any of your actual content, does not count as a violation you gotta pursue. that way Maiden wouldn't be obligated to go after the obviously unrelated stuff for fear of losing their case against future, more egregious violations by actual malicious actors.

Funnily enough I was in Rockhampton and already seeing Polaris earlier in the month thought I would have a gander at a smaller show. Long story short, signed LP, merch and photos with supporting acts, caught a Polaris Drumstick and a big old gently caress you to my ex on film in an interview for their up coming 'rise of a band' style documentary.  Funny cos she introduced me to the band initially.

I miss being blown away by a new band or album coming out, it's all been done already and nothing sounds new or fresh to me anymore, just a variation of poo poo that's been done already. When you've experienced the innovation of rock music (or music in general really) from the 70's into the 90's nothing really comes close these days tbh. Doesn't really have much to do with my youth, because I can still listen to that music today so there's no yearning for something that isn't there anymore or something. I can still listen to Alice In Chains' Dirt and remember the first time I listened to it not long after it dropped in record stores, thinking holy poo poo what is this. That just doesn't happen anymore.

I’m permanently stuck in the emo/pop punk scene that I was encircled with during my formative years. The Early November, Unwritten Law, New Found Glory, Say Anything, Jimmy Eat World...give it all to me. Mankind has benefitted tremendously at the cost of the tortured soul of Max Bemis.

I did that but went in reverse to older stuff. It's how I fell in love with The Stooges and Iggy Pop. Went through the Beach Boys' entire catalogue they are amazing. And got to appreciate The Rolling Stones even more. Also purely by accident discovered Live at Leeds, probably the best live album ever recorded, always loved The Who but for some reason never listened to any of their live stuff what a mistake lol. It's in my top ten album list now.

Or even the Mustang. At least it won't knock itself to death. For a 2.7 it's pretty large physically, but as pointed out, it's a DOHC V6... and a direct injection twin turbo V6 at that. A Subaru 4 pot looks larger, but that's kind of the edge split (  ) case when it comes to 4 cylinders.slidebite posted:Condolences for this. Enlarged heart and liver, they believe he had a heart attack. They were able to get far enough to determine he died on Friday, and was found on Monday. But with the liver being enlarged, there were some serious issues around the corner. I don't think the family could afford to continue further, but it was apparently very obvious he faceplanted in the kitchen. I'm really glad he didn't go the suicide route, even though the heart attack route is quite a bit more painful. Depending how it hit, he may or may not have even realized what hit him.
