Fat Freddy

You wore anything (hat, t-shirt, pin, etc.) with the slogan WHERE'S THE BEEF on it!

You learned to read thanks to the "Spidey Super Stories" segments on "The Electric Company"

"Spiderman...where are you comin' from, Spiderman?

Nobody knows who you AAAAAAAAAARRRRRRE...."

Shotgun Messiah - SECOND COMING

(in the car earlier today... nothin's playin' right now cuz The Boy is taking a nap)

That weird spelling of "Hericane" always bugged me... OK, there was already a band called Hurricane, and everyone knows that intentional misspellings are SO hair metal, but still "Hericane?" Duh.

Lucio Fulci's "Gates of Hell"...Or as some know it 'City of the Dead'.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

OOF..Fulci is a sick motherf**ker isn't he?

"King Kong" (the new remake)

It was pretty kick ass...could've been about a half hour shorter IMHO, but that's probably my ADHD talkin'. Special effects were excellent, great story and performances, and DAMN how hot is Naomi Watts?

Haha, yeah, Lomenzo claims people have been calling him "J-Lo" for years, long before Jennifer Lopez ever came into the picture. Whatever...so he may be the "original" J-Lo, but the "other" J-Lo is cuter

I think MacDonough was a "hired gun" all along, whether he realized it or not... hey, I'm sure his spot in Iced Earth will still be open.

James actually had an eBay auction going a couple of weeks ago where he was selling a bunch of his Megadeth swag... Gigantour T-shirts, backstage passes, etc., etc. I don't know if it was because he simply had too much stuff and wanted to get rid of it, or if he was trying to dump memories of a bad experience...

Mustaine has been asked a few times about it and he gives the standard "I have no problems with James" party-line answer. Hmm, maybe there was trouble in Mega-Paradise eh??

If you were embarrassed if your friends saw you shopping at K-Mart with your parents.

 

P.S. They saw you there but you were too embarrassed to figure out they were shopping there too.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I can beat that by a mile... I WORKED in a f**king K-Mart!! Talk about embarrassing!!

Has everyone heard that Megadeth *IS* going to continue and that a new album is in the works right now? Very cool news, considering that when Dave released THE SYSTEM HAS FAILED, he was promoting it as "the last Megadeth album."

The new bass player, by the way, is James Lomenzo, formerly of White Lion... odd

And if you want the all-time greatest MF disc (and one of the all time greatest METAL albums, period, IMHO) pick up DON'T BREAK THE OATH... one of the best album covers of the '80s too... nothing screams "METAL!" like putting a big ol' flamin' Satan on your album cover!! \m/

I was never really big on this band but I always did like "Girlschool" -- maybe it was cuz of the hot chick in the video who disrupts her classroom by cranking the song!!

RUST IN PEACE seems to be taking the lead, followed closely by PEACE SELLS...

Just got MF 'In the Shadows'...Egypt is a Killer...The Kin'gs

voice isn't as screechie as usual IMO, in fact it's good!

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

"In The Shadows" is an excellent album, Metalhead... as is the follow up, "TIME" from 1994... try that one out next if you're diggin' "Shadows"

Seven Witches - YEAR OF THE WITCH

On deck:

Shotgun Messiah: SECOND COMING

Time for Fat Freddy to jump into the newly-christened POLLS page! Heh heh... OK headbangers, which Megadeth CD is your favorite? PEACE SELLS gets my vote, followed by RUST IN PEACE and THE SYSTEM HAS FAILED. Bring on the commentary!

Fuckin' A Geoff, were you actually fuckin' surprised that "Basic Instinct 2" fuckin' sucked? It fuckin' disappeared from theatres here in just about a fuckin' week. Crash and fuckin' burn my man. Was Sharon Stone at least nice to fuckin' look at? Did she go full fuckin' frontal? Should I fuckin' bother with it when it comes out on fuckin' DVD?

Keep in mind that I love fuckin' bad movies (remember, I actually gave "Black Fuckin' Roses" props in my "Hard Rockin' Movies" poll) so if B.I. 2 was really that fuckin' bad, then I gotta fuckin' see it!!

Oh yea, that fuckin' sucks about your wallet. If I fuckin' find it I'll fuckin' forward it back to ya mate.

Barlow was an excellent frontman too. Did you ever see I.E. live while he was in the band? I saw 'em on the Horror Show tour in '02 in Philly and he was awesome. He really knew how to command a crowd.

 

I haven't seen Ripper live in years, never saw him with Priest or I.E. but believe it or not I actually DID see his Judas Priest tribute band (British Steel) in a club in NJ a couple of years before he joined Priest... probably '94 or '95 or so... he was a good live performer back then and I'm sure he's only gotten better with all the road experience he's had since...

No I never got to see Iced Earth live. They came through Denver when I was living out there. I think it was on the Horror Show tour.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

That sucks man. Iced Earth were actually my "retirement" show. Just as my friend and I got the tickets I found out my wife was pregnant with my first child, so I decided that I kinda needed to be home on Friday and Saturday nights from then on instead of in some smoky dump watching a band. Fortunately I.E. provided a hell of a show to go out on... \m/

MY CDS WERE IN THE MAIL WHEN I GOT HOME TODAY!!!

If you watched MTV sixteen hours a day because you had a crush on Martha Quinn (I can't be the only one... can I?)

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

She had a Nasty little I'm a sweet girl look!!

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Thank goodness... I thought I was the only one.

I also had a "thing" for Pat Benatar back then. Hell, I think I still have a "thing" for her now.

Nope... still kinda cloudy lookin'

That's so weird, is the sun out where you are too?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Not sure... I dont' have a window in my office... let me take a quick look and get back to ya
