Introducing Crobot

This is my new favorite band.

Do not be to quick to forgive a heinous action

I grew up Catholic and I am all about forgiveness, but I'm just not sure you can believe it before a punishment is served or there is a consequence to an action.

As pure metal is concerned I have been a fan of As I Lay Dying and as a comedy fan I have alway enjoyed Austrian Death Machine. Both bands fronted and formed by singer/guitarist Tim Lambesis. As I Lay Dying were labeled a Christian metal band and I was even part of a prayer circle with them once, but Tim's recent actions are anything but Christian. If you don't know the story Tim was arrested and now sentenced for the attempted hiring of a hitman to kill his estranged wife. Tim will be serving a six year sentence for his actions. Well fellow Christian Brian "Head" Welch from Korn as written a lengthy piece for Loudwire basically asking for his forgiveness and explaining how we all hit our low points in life.

Head's comments can be read in it's entirety here:

When I heard about Tim Lambesis’ arrest, I was really bummed out because I instantly had a flashback of being in that similar dark place with my divorce. I tried to visit Tim right away, but couldn’t work it out. I obviously felt horrible for how completely shocked and scared his wife must have been to hear the news, but my heart went out for Tim a lot because so many people immediately wanted to lynch him.

Not me and my crew.

We believe in second, third, even one hundred chances, if that’s what it takes. I mean, we’ve been given countless chances, so why not Tim? He’s a normal dude who had fallen into the darkest, most confusing, empty place. He needed brothers, not more enemies.

Well I don't disagree with that, but shouldn't we actually serve the punishment handed down before asking for forgiveness? Most of us in the human race do not understand the consequences of our actions until we are shown the error of our way.

So that concussion thing in the NFL is real?

I can't decide if this continues the decline of humanity as we know it or if this has something to do with the repercussions of concussions from playing football. Here's the story from ESPN:

Former New York Giants safety Tyler Sash was arrested early Saturday morning in Iowa after leading police on a drunken scooter chase and being shot with a Taser.

	Tyler Sash, who played for the Giants in 2011 and 2012, was arrested for public intoxication after leading police on a scooter chase.

Sash, who played two seasons with the Giants, was charged with public intoxication and interference with official acts by police in Oskaloosa, Iowa.
According to multiple reports, police spotted Sash at approximately 1:30 a.m. riding a motorized scooter with its lights off and asked him to stop.
Sash, however, reportedly refused on multiple occasions, leading police on a four-block chase before leaving the scooter and fleeing on foot.
Police eventually found Sash hiding behind a tree and, after the 25-year-old refused to come out, shot him with a Taser.
Sash declined a field sobriety test but admitted to drinking and was taken to Mahaska County Jail.
A sixth-round draft pick in 2011 who played in college at Iowa, Sash appeared in 23 games with the Giants. He was suspended in 2012 for violating the NFL's policy on performance-enhancing substances and was cut by the Giants prior to last season.

The best Disturbed parody...ever

Who's Cryin' Like a Bitch?

Not sure actually. Here's the story.





During a tour in 2009 there was a disagreement between Godsmack singer Sully Erna and Motley Crue bassist turned radio show host Nikki Sixx. This disagrement then lead to the Godsmack song "Cryin' Like a Bitch." Flash forward five years and Godsmack is about to have a new album to promote and as bands do they make their rounds with the press and that includes radio. With Nikki now hosting a radio show someone from the Godsmack camp reached out and tried to book a spot on the show. That's when Nikki said this:

"Over my dead f***ing body!"

Nikki then sends out this tweet:

"So @godsmack begged to be on @Sixxsense to promote their shit new album.Good luck touring phonebooths.Whos crying like a bitch now?"

Ok funny line aside one thing to remember is Nikki might actually be crying like a bitch. You see in the music world bands will have what's called a publicist or a record company will have a rep to book the band's interviews, appearances, photo shoots and whatever else that will get the band press and heard by more people. There is a very good chance that said publicist had or has no clue about some silly little beef between Nikki Sixx and Motley Crue. So I'd argue that Godsmack the band had nothing to do with the attempted booking of the Nikki Sixx show.

Over my dead [expletive] body,’” begins Sixx. “And they said, ‘Well, you know, they wanna be on the show because their record’s coming out.’ And I go, ‘Did you forget the fact that they wrote a song about me called ‘Cryin’ Like a Bitch’ and that there’s probably 15 festivals that Motley Crue is headlining and that we said if Godsmack’s on ‘em, we’re not doing them?”

Dave Grohl on Soundgarden

Again Dave Grohl just sits down and talks about something passionately. Mr. Grohl spends a few minutes talking about the Soundgarden album Superunkown. 


Superunkown turns 20 years old this year.
