Fat Freddy

Geoff: I have some more Australian questions if you don't mind... Are all Australians born with an innate talent for crocodile wrestling, or does this ability solely belong to Steve Irwin? Is Foster's REALLY Australian for "Beer?" Is Kylie Minogue really as hot as she seems?

You can't really go wrong with anything up to and including "Human Factor" in my book... from "Hanging in the Balance" (voice of Comic Book Guy from the Simpsons: "Worst...album cover...EVER") onward, though, it gets a little "iffy"

Gamma Ray -- Majestic (in the car on the way to work) on deck: U.D.O. - Holy Seven Witches - Amped Tad Morose - Modus Vivendi

Girl Money -- Kix

I always liked "Inside Out," probably Warrant's heaviest-ever track, and I always got a kick out of when Jani snarls "Get this mike outta my FUCKING face" at the fade out...

Hey Freddy... a "vegemite sandwich' is a sandwich with vegemite on it. Vegemite is black spreadable crap that tastes like salty hell. Bread is made from dough. Hope that helps mate. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Thank you oh great one. That has bugged me ever since I first heard "Down Under" by Men At Work... If I have any other questions about Australia I hope that you will be there to answer my queries!

Glorious Burden and Something Wicked are STILL tied at 5 votes apiece!

Damn...1984 was a good year wasn't it? I could've went with just about anything on this list... considered "The Warning" and "Stay Hungry" but went with \m/ DIO DIO DIO DIO DIO DIO DIO DIO DIO DIO DIO \m/ Cuz Ronnie still rules today

My wife picked the King Kong DVD up earlier this week (first day buyer) but we haven't had time to watch it yet.. .I'm dyin' to tho

It's on my shopping list but of course that list is a MILE long (and growing longer by the day...) so who knows when I'll get to it... eventually!!

How is that new Evergrey, Blue? haven't picked it up yet... loved RECREATION DAY but wasn't too crazy about the last one

Get NERVOUS - Pat Benatar

Hey Geoff: This is cool, it's like your own advice column. I've always wanted to ask someone from Australia this question: WHAT THE HELL IS IN A "VEGEMITE SANDWICH?"

Fuckin'A Blue, sounds like workplace fuckin' misery loves fuckin' company eh? I feel like I'm trapped in a fuckin' "Dilbert" cartoon around here the last couple of fuckin' days.

Hey, how the fuck are ya my fellow foul mouthed fuckers? Well, it turns out my fuckin' hellish work day today has been downgraded to merely "crappy." I had a fuckin' terrible morning but things are turning the fuck around, since I have found a very therapeutic activity to occupy my fuckin' afternoon. I have a huge fuckin' pile of old outdated forms and documents in my fuckin' desk drawers that fuckin' need to be fuckin' destroyed so I am happily feeding them all into a paper shredder. I simply imagine them all screaming as I feed them into the yawning jaws of fuckin' death ("AAAAIIIIIIEEEEEE") and I'm happier now than I've fuckin' been in a couple of fuckin' days.

FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCKITY FUCKIN' FUCK Sorry to interrupt all this fuckin' romance, but my fuckin' shitty day at work yesterday has fuckin' continued into fuckin' TODAY so I needed to come back here to fuckin' vent before I fuckin' explode... so pardon my interruption, go back to whatever the fuck you guys were fuckin' talkin' about... fuckin' thanks

Lacuna Coil -- COMALIES On deck: Iced Earth - NIGHT OF THE STORMRIDER Armored Saint - SYMBOL OF SALVATION Firehouse - S/T

Fuck, I got up this fuckin' morning and my fuckin' electric shaver just fuckin' died on me. I don't mean like the battery fuckin' died and it can be recharged, it just fuckin' DIED, about 3/4s of the way thru my morning fuckin' shave. I don't have any "regular" razors (and I ain't fuckin' trying to finish my fucking face with those little leg-razors my wife uses) so I guess I gotta go to fuckin' work lookin' like I got fuckin' mange. This does not bode fuckin' well for the rest of my fuckin' day...

Whoa. At the risk of stealing Geoff's catch phrase: NNNNNOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRKKKKKKKKSSSSSSS!!!!

FUCK!!! I am coming off one of the WORST fucking days of work I've had in a LONG fucking time! Thank god it's finally fuckin' over! I'm getting the fuck outa here before any fucking thing else happens!

DON'T Fuck With Me - Love/Hate

Okay, here is the deal, if you dig badass power/speed metal with shredding gutards and screaming vocals, like APOCRYPHA, or Painkiller-era JUDAS PRIEST for example, then go and pick RIOT - Thundersteel (or Privilege of Power). Those two albums only. If you dig nwobhm - go pick first two RIOT albums, they are classics! Finally, if you are into traditional classic heavy metal - check the rest of their discography. All their albums are solid traditional heavy metal. But be aware, they are one of those bands like KISS: if you grew up with their albums you will love em to death, if not, you probably wont like em no matter what <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Stormspell and I seem to agree on a lot of stuff so it sounds like the "Thundersteel" stuff would be the Riot period for me! Thanks for the tip man!

A disc of random MP3s including tracks by Coven ("Iron Dick!"), Angel Dust, White Skull, Agent Steel and numerous others...

Get the Fuck OUT -- Skid Row

Every time I ask someone if they know the band Riot their response is always - Quiet Riot?? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I have the same problem with Rage (German power metal band)... I tell people I dig Rage and they think I mean Rage Against The Machine (Arrrrgh!) But as far as Riot goes, they're one of those bands I've always heard OF but never really HEARD. I think I may have heard one or two odd tracks here and there, been reading about'em in mags and online for what seems like forever. Does this band have a best-of release of some sort for an interested newbie like me to use as a starting point?
