Thrash ’til Death – Big Four times four, part 2

Last week, I came up with an idea for a Big 16, so to speak. My personal favorite Thrash Metal bands, divided into four seperate groups, each led by a genuine Big Four band. Is there more to it? Not really, I just like to write about Thrash Metal.

So when you make the jump, keep in mind that I’m basically just listing my favorite thrash bands. Success, influence and critical acclaim didn’t play a part in my list but simply personal preferences.

So, what are you waiting for? Make the jump. Now!

Metal goes acoustic

I must admit, as incredibly Metal (and handsome) I am, I am actually a big fan of acoustic music too. Don’t get me wrong, I love distortion and blast beats as much as the next man, but there’s something about that clean and pure sound you get from an acoustic guitar that I love. One of my favorite past times, when I’m bored (which is a lot, because I have no life), is checking out some acoustic covers of Metal tracks on Youtube. Ok, so some really suck, but some are undeniably brilliant.

What is my favorite cover that I’ve been listening to recently? Well it happens to be the awesome cover of Machine Head‘s Now I Lay Thee Down, which can be found above. The musician does a brilliant job at recreating the track for the acoustic guitar.

Happy Mondays

So today is Monday, the start of the week for many of us, and a shitty time for those that it is. I don’t know about you guys, but my Monday has been particularly bad. First, my mom tells me that I owe her rent and that I’m the result of an abortion gone wrong, and then my boss has the audacity to actually ask me to do some work. I mean really? Me do work? Does he not know me?

Yesterday Guido was nice enough to show you the best way to end your weekend, and now I’m going to attempt to show you the best way to start your week. I advise listening to some really upbeat Pop music. Something about fairies and happy things, that will really give you the energy you need for the week. I’m kidding of course; ladies and gentlemen, it’s time for some Metal. Introducing The Red Chord‘s Demoralizer. Now hurry up and click that play button.

Apparently we’re epic failures

Some asshole sent a screenshot of our site to one of those fail sites. Why? Cause apparently we have a skull in the logo and Guido used a picture of people getting hanged and the banner on top was for kids.

Yeah assholes, like we control what banners Google shows… Sure, we can deny them but it’s not like we see all of them, since they’re shown depending on your location.

Anyways, here it is. Vote for it, while you’re at it. We’re like The Darkness. If we’re being laughed at, might as well embrace and milk it.

The best way to end your weekend

For most people it’s the end of the weekend today but for me, it’s the start of my weekend because I had to work all week, including Saturday and today, and the next two days I don’t have to work so I’ll spend them with my favorite hobby: listening to metal, which is also the ultimate way to end your weekend!

So tomorrow you’re going back to work, school or what-the-hell-ever it is you’re doing and I’ve got an advice for you. If your supervisor or teacher gets on your nerves, just HANG HIM HIGH!
