Fat Freddy

Fuck me gently with a chainsaw!

Hey, how the fuck is everybody fuckin' doin'? It's Fat Fuckin' Freddy again.

 

Anybody out there know how they fuckin' teach fuckin' kids the fuckin' alphabet in New York City fuckin' schools?

 

FUCKIN' A!

FUCKIN' B!

FUCKIN' C!

FUCKIN' D...

 

Ooooooold fuckin' joke but it works so fuckin' perfectly here

Tough call but I had to go with Babylon A.D. here... Skid Row would be a close second but after the 10 millionth airing of "I Remember You" and/or "18 And Life" on MTV, radio, VH1 Classic, etc. I hardly ever want to listen to that CD again

Fuckin'A, it does my fuckin' heart good to see so many motherfuckin' people usin' the fuckin' word "fuck." You know what the fuck I'm sayin? This fuckin' message board rocks, I fuckin' love this place, fuckin' everybody is so fuckin' funny

I just picked up Stryper's REBORN during a shopping trip to WalMart yesterday (*YES*, I bought a CD at WalMart. Sue me...I rarely, if ever, buy music there because of their fascist censorship policy, but it was there, I was there, and I wanted to hear it)... haven't had time to listen to it yet other than a cursory quick spin in the car on the way home. I had my three year old with me though so I couldn't listen to it at the volume level that it truly deserves, therefore no thoughts on it yet...

Fave Ozzy era Sab: "Sabotage"

Fave Dio era Sab: "Heaven and Hell"

Fave "Tony Iommi and Friends Era" Sab: "Born Again"

 

Fave overall: "Heaven and Hell," no contest

I watched a god-awful low budget action movie over the weekend called "Diamondbacks" that I picked up at the local dollar store.. I am addicted to those awful Just-A-Buck movies, but this one was so bad that I felt compelled to log onto IMDB.com and share my dissatisfaction with the world...read on if you're so willing...

 

An Action Movie With Very Little Action!, 30 January 2006

Author: MetalGeek from New Jersey, USA

 

My collection of "Dollar Store DVDs" continues to grow, the latest addition being 1998's "DIAMONDBACKS," a Z-grade "action" movie that starts out like a low-grade ripoff of "THE ROCK" but turns out more like a bad episode of "The A-Team." Our story (such as it is) begins with a space shuttle launch (courtesy of NASA stock footage), which is watched on television by an assortment of rednecks who don't look happy about it at all. One by one these rednecks leave their double-wides and congregate in a tavern's pool room (!!) where they change into matching black uniforms and start loading weapons. Turns out these good ole boys are THE DIAMONDBACK MILITIA (Tremble! tremble! Fear! Fear!), and they don't like the fact that this space shuttle's mission is to launch a "communications" satellite because they believe it will be used to spy the activities of red blooded patriotic Americans like themselves. The Diamondbacks then use their constitutionally protected right to bear arms to blow up a small town courthouse for no apparent reason, (??) and then they invade the tracking station that controls the shuttle's satellite cargo in order to force the technicians inside to... well, I'm not really sure, exactly. Either blow the shuttle up, or take over the satellite and crash it, whatever, it's never made very clear WHAT the hell they plan to do. The story unfolds at a snail's pace from there, and for a supposed action movie there's very little action. We get two of the slowest car chases I've ever seen, several bloodless shootouts and some supposed "plot twists" that anybody will be able to see coming from a mile away. Miles O'Keefe, as the head of the Diamondback Militia, looks like Corey Feldman on steroids and seems to be trying to channel Ed Harris' character from "The Rock" with his high and mighty patriotic speeches ("This is OUR war!") while Bryce, played by Eb Lottimer(what kind of name is "Eb" anyway?) plays the poor computer tech who just wants to survive this experience so he can make it home in time for his daughter's birthday. In short, DIAMONDBACKS is generic action junk that will either bore you to tears or put you to sleep. I recommend that if you see it on the rack in YOUR local dollar store, save your money. Even for a dollar, DIAMONDBACKS was a ripoff.

Yes, I rike Roudness velly velly mush!! Lock and Lorr! No rike sushi though!

"Afraid of the Dark" too? Sweet! I'm gonna have to track down a copy of that puppy

 

...I'm still staying out of the arguments/controversy that still continue to surround the topic of this particular label? That's cuz I'm new and I don't want to piss anybody off with an uninformed opinion. Quite frankly, I had never even HEARD of Retrospect Records till I started wandering around on this board. But hey, if they reissued a Vyper album they're OK by me... mastered from LP or not, I don't care...

Haha, excellent, another Loudness fan! That makes you, me, and Blue Charvel (that I've met thus far anyway... only been a member for about 48 hours...) I like Godzilla too, as long as we're talking Japanese stuff (but no, I'm not Japanese...)

 

MXC? Second funniest show on television (first will always be the Simpsons)

 

Later Y'all

Vyper? Did someone say VYPER? Did this label REALLY re-issue a Vyper album? Holy crap... I thought the master tapes to their stuff were lost in a warehouse fire some years ago (if I'm thinking of the same band, that is...)

 

If it *is* the same Vyper I'm thinking of (I only remember one song, called "Dealer," which I taped off of a college radio metal show circa 1985-6), I'd like to get my hands on it...

 

I'm staying out of the argument that seems to be raging about this particular label because quite frankly I'm not familiar with them and don't want to get in the middle of something that I know nothing about...

 

But wow... Vyper... damn, I'd like to get my hands on that if it's avail on CD...

I have a three year old son who's currently obsessed with "Madagascar," so that's the last movie I've seen... and seen... and seen again. Lucky for him that I get a kick out of it too. I'm happier with this obsession than his addiction to "Thomas and the Magic Railroad" from a few months ago.

I spend a lot of $$ on CDs anyway, so yes, I am fully prepared to take the risk. Now let's let the metal play, shall we? As the guy on "MXC" sez before the participants take the field of battle, "GET IT ON!"

 

Hey thanks for the kind welcome, y'all. Wish I had more time to chat right now but I basically logged in to see how my Fat Freddy avatar looked... and gee, it's kinda crappy, so I may have to go looking for a better picture of ol' Freddy later.

Have a lovely heavy metal day everybody

Duh... I asked "Anybody know where Mike Lee (of Barren Cross) is now?" and right above that was a post saying he's in a band called "Sanxtion."

Sorry all, blame it on me being a newbie on this board (and a tired one at that). I'm still learning my way around this thing!

For me, the all time BEST Christian metal band was Barren Cross, particularly the "Atomic Arena" and "State of Control" albums. Excellent Priest/Maiden style power metal. Mike Lee had lungs of leather (anyone know what he's up to now?)

 

Back in the day I also enjoyed:

Sacred Warrior (Queensryche style stuff, I have three out of their four CDs and all are excellent)

Deliverance (God's answer to Metallica; their first four albums anyway, after STAY OF EXECUTION, buyer beware)

Rose (Total Danzig clones but they sounded sooooo good, especially the second album, HEALING)

Recon (too bad they only made one album)

Shout

And a bunch of others that I can't think of off the top of my head... it's late and I need to turn the computer off now. Nite y'all

You cant' go wrong with anything through SEVENTH SON OF A SEVENTH SON, but for me, "THE" Maiden album is still NUMBER OF THE BEAST. This one is a no-brainer for me

I just discovered Wounded Bird late last year, when I went out looking for Loudness' THUNDER IN THE EAST. I had no idea if it was even available on CD, much less in the U.S. -- I figured I'd have to pay big $$ for an import from Japan if I found it at all. Imagine my surprise when I found it (and a whole boatload of other Loudness titles, some of which never got released in the U.S. the first time around!) at Tower Records, along with some other goodies by Vicious Rumors (woo hoo, I've been looking for WELCOME TO THE BALL on CD for ten years!) and numerous others...

I do have to wonder why they bothered to re-release Overkill's I HEAR BLACK, though, as it was Overkill's worst album and copies of the original Atlantic Records pressing are still widely available in cut-out bins and used-CD stores virtually everywhere you turn. Anybody who buys that one from Wounded Bird obviously isn't looking hard enough for it.

Hi Everybody!

This is my first ever post on this message board, so I wanted to introduce myself...

Handle: Fat Freddy (any Freak Brothers comic book fans in the house?)

Real Name: Keith

Location: New Jersey, USA

Age: "Old enough to know better, too young to care"... but seriously, mid-'30s

Music tastes: Traditional/power metal, '80s hair metal, some thrash metal... faves include Raven, Loudness, Accept, old Metallica, Jag Panzer, Iced Earth, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, the list goes on...

Reason for signing up for Heavy Harmonies message board: I'm probably not heavy enough for the Brutal Metal board and I'm not Christian enough for the Heaven's Metal board (though I do dig a lot of '80s Christian rock/metal bands... Viva Barren Cross, Sacred Warrior, Deliverance, etc.)

# of CDs in my collection: Somewhere between 500-600 (haven't counted lately)

First album ever owned: AC/DC, LET THERE BE ROCK

Most recent album bought: Loudness DISILLUSION, Jag Panzer CHAIN OF COMMAND reissue, Hades RESISTING SUCCESS/IF AT FIRST YOU DON'T SUCCEED 2-CD reissue

 

Think that should give y'all a good idea of where I'm at... hope to speak with some metal heads soon!

Later

Fat Freddy
