Greatest Band Ever? Ok Favorite
Category: music
So something I don't talk about here is my love of Metallica, not in the I want to blow them all kind of way. Oh and also not in the meeting them getting them to sign my arm then going to a Tattoo shop and getting that tattooed, as cool of an idea that is, yes I have seen that. I will admit there are some thing in the past that they have done that I don't don't like. I don't care what the writer of Metalapoclyse says I know there as some Metallica bashes in it, but that is ok. What I like about Metallica.

1. Bay Area Band
2. Like there sound
3. They change there sound
4. With all the different members the core is still the same
5. Except load and Reload each CD has its own sound
6. Amazing live show
7. After James got burned they had a part of their shows when the stage explodes
8. Their fuck you attitude

That is just what comes to mind off hand. They have this new CD coming out on the 12th of this month I can't wait to go out and get it. The video below is "The day that never comes" I like that is sounds like the "Old Metallica" in some parts and new in others it is a great song. Yes I like the old and the new. I'm not one of those metal heads that only likes metal and old style and thinks all these new bands suck, I like all kinds of music and I like how their newer stuff sounds. Once Rob joined the band I was wondering what his creative views if they would change there sound. Not sure about how much impact he had but of the 3 songs I've herd I like them and think it could be a very good CD.

Maybe this will work
"The Day that Never comes"




Now the tough Part is waiting to see if the tour will come to Buffalo. I would travel to see them since I have Before. My current choices are Chicago (would be cool to go there), Boston Might be nice. Yes I think Ackron, OH might be closer but I don't want to go there, Phily might get me killed, don't want to get lost there. I would assume that if they don't come to Buffalo maybe they would do Multiple days in Toronto either would be awesome. Well we shall see what happens. Hey I have to go see them they are from my other home town and they are part of my reason for my user name a lot of places

On a side note my spelling sucks sorry about that and the NFL Football season is a day away and they are having some live kick off thing on NBC and online I guess the entire game is also on. I love Football but not really ready for it and the change in weather it brings.

I am one of those metalheads who dislikes their "modern" "metalcore" sound. Hahaha. I like their older albums from the 80s and the very early 90s. I am afraid the Load-Reload thing didn't do much for me. I think St.Anger finally made me realize just how much I didn't enjoy listening to them anymore.

Call me elitist, but I am a total sucker for the 80s heavy metal/hair metal sound. The new supposedly "nu"-metal bands just don't come close. ;)

I wish I could pick some favorite songs of theirs they have so many I like they even have some pretty good cover songs that they make their own Like "Turn the Page" and "Whisky in Jar" or something like that. Yes they can and have been dicks before but that is part of being a rock star I think. I really hope they come to Buffalo, so I don't have to travel.

I was never really into them until I saw a documentary about them a while back. They are actually really good!
dcoffee - 09/03/08 21:03
Good band, some of my favorite songs, Master of Puppets, Disposable Heroes, Shortest Straw, Battery.

Shows coming back time
Category: tv
So it is about that time of the year when shows from last year start coming back on. Of course there are some new shows also. I wish I had the dates for when the shows I want to see come back on but here are the ones that I know of currently.

Bill Maher started last night: It was a good show but wish I had my own computer so I could watch the extra stuff on line.

Monday Prison Break returns: It was so good last year we will see this year.

Bones is on Wends. I think like prison break it might be on for 2 hours not sure what a great show. Then the week after HOUSE md is back on, what a great show that is.

Sunday the 7th is the Return Of Entourage. Also on HBO is a new series that looks pretty cool and has a lot of web tie ins called "True Blood" it is about so much more then Vampires but vampires come out to the public.

Not sure when it returns but Heroes will be back in September some time. That is an amazing show and look foreward to this season. NBC has another show that looks pretty good That I just blanked on the show and the actor where a guy lives two lives one as like a home dad and one as like a killer agent and nieither guy knows about the other and then some how one of them does find out, it looks really good.

NOt sure when Pushing Daisies returns but I really liked that show it was different and kinda dark and kinda fun all mixed together.

Knight Rider will be a series as I suspected and not just that 2 hour movie.

During "The Moment of Truth" there was an add on fox and one of the people in the footage was Kiefer so I assume that means 24 will be back but haven't looked into when yet. That was such a great show but the strike killed it, so we shall see.

Maybe when I get some more time I will update this post or maybe make a part 2 who knows.

Some Weekend Events
Category: events
So this weekend is That National Buffalo wing fest. That is a pretty cool event and you can try all kinds of different wings. The only downside is some places you can't tell what kind of wings they have until you get close because of where they have their signs. There are other events they have like a chicken wing eating contest and last year I saw the guy perform as Elvis. It in the past has been a good time. They are having some extention of that Friday at Pearl St. Grill & Brewry I think it is bands and food and the money goes to the food bank. Jackdaw is playing someplace Saturday night I think it is at Sample on Allen St. I will be at Project Independent , It is a Metal showcase. There are a couple National Acts that I don't know , I guessing I will enjoy them and then I want to see Stemm , and As Summer Dies. I think it will be a great time but not sure that I want to eat a bunch of Chicken Wings before I go but maybe I will not sure.

Weekend So Far UPDATED
Category: events
Yesterday I had a great time at Project Independent Oh yeah and it was nice to see you before the show (e:tinypliny) . I haven't had time to download the pictures yet but maybe I can do that on Monday. It was great to go to a good Metal show. "His Name Was Yesterday" started the show I thought they where pretty good, they had a bunch of people who know who they were. The second Band was "Frailty" they didn't seem to be as well known I liked there set. The Band that I came to see was up next "As Summer Dies" it was my second time seeing them and I had to get some merch before the show I really enjoyed there set. The National Band who is on the entire tour is "Ninetail" I think of all the bands they have the most music on myspace, they are also the band who won last years so that is why they get the national tour they were very good. The Head liners of the show was STEMM. It has been a long time since I've seen them and they were very good. You might not know any of there music but if you watch UFC one of there songs is part of the UFC.

Today I went to the National Buffalo wing festival. I tried all sorts of different flavors of wings. Not sure As I had a favorite. I did get to see an eating contest. "The Black Widow" Sonya sorry don't know her last name won it. She also won the Chicken wing one yesterday. Tonight I'm guessing I'll try to get caught up on either Documentiers or generation Kill on HBO. I Hoping to remember to Watch Metalopclypse tonight since it is new, I missed it last week. Maybe I'll go see a movie or something down town on monday who knows. Hope everyones weekend is pretty good.

So Last Night I found out that I really Like IFC , It is one of those stations I kinda forget about. There was this movie called "When Will I be Loved", I admit it wasn't my thing per say, but it was worth it just for the Neve Cambell nude scenes. That was Followed by an interesting documentary about Larry flint. Even if you don't agree with his political views I think he really is a good fighter for free speach and for people not to give their own rights away. That was fallowed by this show called Z Rock. I thought it was pretty funny plus the show has real rock stars on it. The Premise is that there is this Brooklyn Rock band (they sound pretty good to me) but to pay the bills they Play kids shows. It is funny stuff. Like there is one scene where Sabsatchen bach loves there music so they are pumped but it is his kids who listen to the kids music in the car. As the rock band they sleep with these two groupies (did I forget to mention the sex stuff) so they latter go to this party and the groupies show up at the kids party they are related to the person who booked it, Hey I think the show is pretty funny.

The way that I first of as Summer Dies I'm not positive but I think it was on Poster for them performing as Park of a Queen City Roller Girls event of some kind or maybe it was something they where both going to be at I can't remember for sure, but they are a pretty good band I think the other pictures are of STemm well we shall see how the few I picked randomly look.

It was fun to run into you as well. I made it to the library and then went to the harbour to watch the sunset. It was a splendid evening. I took so many pics I ran out of space in my camera. I need to make a post later this week... Too many thoughts to share and I am feeling stressed out because the weekend is at an end. :/

closing the Summer Olympics
Category: olympics
I was awake so I watched the closing stuff this morning on CBC. I will still watch some of the the stuff tonight. I thought some of the stuff was pretty cool. These pictures I assume will show up are from Yahoo's page. One reason I want to see it again is it would be interesting to hear the American Perspective and see if the Musical Number with like Jackie Chan as a group of people, and then the Jimmy Page on Guitar part sounds louder. That entire bus thing was pretty cool. It is only 4 years till London. Passes thing off to london seemed like what most of it was about.

Hopefully I didn't double post any pictures and I hope those are a good reflection from what I saw on TV.

Yesterday I did go to the Elmwood Festival of the arts for a couple hours and had a good time. I was hoping to see some people break out into a dance but when I was there I didn't see any. I did buy a couple things. I did see a couple (e:peeps) one I knew the face but not the name so sorry for not saying Hi. Then there was another one with a certain person. Again I was in line for food and at the other point when they were a head of me I was deciding if I shoul pick my art then eat or the other way around so sorry I didn't catch up. Hope people are having or had fun there.
