Crazy Bitch indeed

I'm all about the seedy side of life. Having some fun, riding a Harley, having a drink, and getting dirty, but in the right setting. No matter how hard I think about it a wedding with family there may not be the right setting. At least not the ceremony. Reception? Get naked. Who cares it's your party. Again though if family members with young kids, or Grandma is sitting in the front row at the wedding? Walking down the aisle singing "Crazy Bitch" by Buckcherry with swear words and all, plus dancing like a whore may not be the right place for that.

Stupid is as Stupid Does

I was looking at my timeline on Facebook this morning and saw a friend of mine had been woken up by sirens and flashing lights in his neighborhood at 1:45AM. Well of course I then wanted to look into it and here is what I found.

The first story is not the one I was looking for but seemed equally if not more stupid. This from WFRV:
ASHWAUBENON, Wisc. (WFRV) A local fugitive was taken into custody after fleeing from cops.

Justin Grunwald, a 21-year-old from Ashwaubenon, had felony warrants out for his arrest.
He was also wanted by police after failing to returning to jail while on work release.

Ashwaubenon Police and the Brown County Sheriff's Department went to the
1100 block of Cormier Road shortly after 5:30pm Monday in an attempt to locate Grunwald.

Grunwald fled on foot.

A perimeter was set up and  the K9 unit was called in.

Grunwald was seen entering his apartment. He was eventually taken into
custody at 10:45pm.

After being treated at a local hospital for dog bites from the K9, 
Grunwald was booked into the Brown County Jail.
So let me get this straight, this guy flees the cops and then a few hours later goes back to his apartment? You sure are a smart fellow.

OK story number 2 and I believe this is the one I was originally looking for. Again from WFRV:
GREEN BAY, Wisc. (WFRV) An 18-year-old man is under arrest after a stabbing
on Green Bay's west side.

Police were dispatched to the 500 block of School Place just after 10:15pm Monday.
At the scene, they found a 16-year-old boy with a stab wound to the back.

The boy was taken to a local hospital to be treated.

Police learned the stabbing actually took place near the intersection of Howard Street
and South Chestnut Avenue. The area was taped off while police investigated.

Information on the suspect led investigators to the 1200 block of Western Avenue,
where an 18-year-old man was taken into custody. He is now booked into the Brown County Jail.

Police are requesting charges of physical abuse of a child and recklessly endangering safety.
 It looks like the Brown County Jail is a little brighter today with two class A geniuses have graced it with their presence. As the wise man Forrest Gump's mama used to say "Stupid is as Stupid Does."

Mustaine still can't beat Metallica's Black Album


This is from Loudwire. I'd rewrite it and put in my own words but they have already done such a great job.

Here’s some news that may or may not surprise you. Since Megadeth‘s released Super Collider, two months ago, album sales have been somewhat disappointing. In fact, ‘Super Collider’ was outsold this week by Metallica‘s ‘Black Album,’ which is 22 years old.
Metallica's self-titled Black Album is not only one of metal’s most successful albums, it’s the highest selling record of the last 22 years, period. With approximately 16 million copies of the ‘Black Album’ sold, the full-length classic is the most popular album of the Soundscan era, which began in 1991. As pointed out by Metal Injection, the Black Album routinely sells around 1500 copies each week, and as Megadeth’s Super Collider has dropped in sales, the 2013 disc sold less copies than the Black Album did this week.

Megadeth’s Super Collider has been panned by both critics and fans, although there are many who stand behind the latest Megadeth release. Super Collider has sold just over 60,000 copies since it dropped early in June — 1,713 of which were scanned this week. How many copies did the ‘Black Album’ sell this week? The official count is 1,737. As you can see, Metallica’s 22-year-old Black Album charted higher than Megadeth’s two-month-old Super Collider.

Megadeth’s 2011 full-length, TH1RT3EN, debuted at No. 11 on the Billboard 200 albums chart, selling 42,000 copies its first week. The album has since sold around 120,000 in the U.S. as of December 2012. Although Super Collider debuted at No. 6 on the Billboard 200 chart, only 29,000 copies were scanned its first week.
I have one word for Dave Mustaine, ouch!

A Review of the Rockstar Energy Mayhem Festival

We sent Patrick Delooze to Atlanta on July 30th to the Rockstar Energy Mayhem Festival featuring Rob Zombie, Five Finger Death Punch, Mastodon, Machine Head, and a ton more heavy bands. Pat was nice enough to take some pics and write up a review. Check it out

Mayhem Fest 2013 Atlanta



Blood, Sweat, Mud and METAL!!!!!!!!!  Those 4 words right there sum up Mayhem Fest in Atlanta this year.  From the Metal Mulisha jump show all the way to the main stage to see 5FDP and Rob Zombie, start to finish this festival was flat out Mayhem!!! Jumping between the Jagermeister stage and the Musicians Institute stage, dodging mosh pit after mosh pit band after band got you more and more stoked for the main stage. 

The opportunity to meet John 5 and Piggy D at Rob Zombies merc tent and talk to them for a few minuets was a pretty awesome experience.  Later that day, I would find myself at that very spot again waiting in line to head backstage to meet Mr Zombie himself.  Autograph signing and photo ops with him and the rest of the band was pretty cool of the station and the record company to set that up.  Talk about being lost for words meeting a icon musician, and film director. Granted you were 1 of like 75 there to shake hands and get a picture and autograph quick was a hell of an experience.


Shortly after that, MAIN STAGE MADNESS!!!!!!  Amon Amarth kicked it off with some kick ass Viking Metal!!!!!!!  Talk about starting it off right!!  If youre a fan of avatar, like I am, then you’ll defiantly love Amon Amarth.  Mastodon was up after that and keep you on youre feet and your head banging.  Then 5FDP came out and blew the lid off the place. 
When Ivan came out waving the american flag and the whole crowd on their feet screaming USA…USA…USA he brought out 5 local soldiers and told the audience about the last time they played a USO show overseas, and about how he received a recently deceased soldiers dog tags and when his fellow soldiers recovered his personal property they came across his ipod stuck on 5FDP, and how they as a band are thankful for the actions of the service men and women of this great country.  As a veteran of Iraq, it sent chills down my spine, and as he told the story, I tried to hold back the tears of my time served over there.  As death punch ended and the chants of Zombie….Zombie…Zombie over and over again I could feel that the show was just getting started!!!  Zombie came out and just blew your mind!!!!!.  From bringing a young kid out of the crowd onstage to the strange mechanical devices he rode out onstage with just you didn’t want to blink because you were too afraid youd miss something.    Talk about a stage show, running through the crowd, fire blasting from the stage, giant radios exploding just left you begging for more, just hoping the show would last longer and longer.  But as they say, all good things must come to an end, it does.  As the blasts of fire end and the final confetti falls to the floor, and as the numerous clouds of smoke from all the joints being passed around clears, we made our way out of there.  I think I still have a contact buzz as Im writing this right now!! By far it was an experience I will never forget and I don’t think will ever be topped!!!!!  Now, where the hell did I put the funyuns and brownies………..
