My High School year book picture has been unearthed

And it's no wonder why I wasn't the popular kid, and let's be honest the only reason I got laid is because I played guitar.

Look at this ugly kid:

 

Yup that's me, c'mon ladies!

I graduated in 1998 so maybe this will help explain my fugliness. Here are some of the number one rock songs in '98

METALLICA - The Unforgiven II
CREED - What's This Life For
LENNY KRAVITY - Fly Away
DAYS OF THE NEW - The Down Town
AEROSMITH - Pink

KENNY WAYNE SHEPHERD - Blue On Black
METALLICA - The Memory Remains

Metallica post full Kill 'em All Set and a couple vids

I'm still kind of pissed at myself that I didn't try harder to go to the 2nd installment of Metallica's Orion Music + More fest June 8 and 9 in Detroit. At least Metallica puts cool sets like this on livemetallica.com so us idiots who didn't go can enjoy it, or for those that were there can enjoy it all over again.

The set goes like this. On Saturday afternoon James Hetfield comes on one of the side stages to introduce a unheard of band called Deehan. James goes through the motions of introducing the made up band when all of a sudden Lars Ulrich hops on stage and starts playing the intro to Hit The Lights, the first song from their 1983 debut Kill 'em All. Then Kirk Hammet and Robert Trujillo walk on stage and James is given his classic Gibson Explorer guitar. They then proceed to play that album in it's entirety.

Here's video from Metallica's website of "Hit The Lights" and "Phantom Lord"

Today is the National Day of Slayer

I believe this may have started on June 6, 2006 or 6/6/6 but I can not confirm that. Either way today June 6th is the annual Day of Slayer. This is according to the website National Day of Slayer and the official press release

After the passing of Slayer guitarist Jeff Hanneman, the directors of theInternational Day of Slayer have announced a change in the celebration status of this year's edition, saying that"the world's first heavy metal holiday" is now becoming a yearly celebration.

Started in 2006 as the National Day of Prayer spoof, the first International Day of Slayer was celebrated on June 6 2006 (6/6/06), and with this year's edition being a "somber one," it demands the maximum level of engagement from each and every fan around the globe.

UG plus: remove banne"We at IDoS ask you to again stand up in the name of Slayer, in the name of metal, and in the name of Jeff Hanneman, and remind the rest of the planet that we are here, and we will not be going away anytime soon," said the holiday's CEO Jim Tate viaofficial website. "Good music is heroic and ultimately immortal, and now more than ever, the music of Slayer is xactly that."

Tate continued to praise the impact Slayer had on the life of their fans, saying, "They created the battle hymns that so many of us have used to navigate our lives, ones we will continue to rely upon to as the days ahead grow ever darker.

"We cannot let these works fade with time. It is sometimes hard to remember that Slayer is comprised of mortal men like ourselves, but with the proper dedication and stewardship, their works can last a thousand years and join the ranks of masters like Beethoven and Wagner. This is what we must strive for by insisting on bands like Slayer for us and future generations."

Finally, Tate summed it all up with a brief conclusion, saying, "Don't go to work, listen to Slayer!"

In case you are not sure what to do on June 6, you can find the instructions listed on the IDoS official website below. As you can see, you can participate in some of the more standard activities, or even take things to a "problematic level." Also, the use of headphones is strictly forbidden.

"National holidays in America aren't just about celebrating; they're about forcing it upon non-participants," reads the official announcement.

The International Day of Slayer website exhorts users to:

Listen to Slayer at full blast in your car.

Listen to Slayer at full blast in your home.

Listen to Slayer at full blast at your place of employment.

Listen to Slayer at full blast in any public place you prefer.Taking that participation to a problematic level:

Stage a "Slay-out." Don't go to work. Listen to Slayer.

Have a huge block party that clogs up a street in your neighborhood. Blast Slayer albums all evening. Get police cruisers and helicopters on the scene. Finish with a full-scale riot.

Spray paint Slayer logos on churches, synagogues, or cemeteries.

Play Slayer covers with your own band (since 99% of your riffs are stolen from Slayer anyway).

Kill the neighbor's dog and blame it on Slayer.

With that being said..."RAIN IN BLOOOOOODDDDDD"

Today is the 10 year anniversary of St. Anger

Today is the 10 year anniversary of the record that broke so many hearts, the record that had metal fans so excited and then dropped them off a cliff, hmm cliff good word. Today 10 years ago our hearts were ripped out but it was by a band we had put our trust in to, to be heavy again, to be fast again, to be the band they once were, but this was not the case. Although they were fast and heavy it was different. It was today 10 years ago that I woke up went to Exclusive Company and bought Metallica St. Anger. Now I listened to this a lot as I am a diehard Metallica fan. After a few months it went on the shelf and there it sat. Until today on it's 10th anniversary I will listen to St. Anger from start to finish.
