Blasted the fuck out of Whipping post when it came on the radio. Just one of those perfect songs. Sad day.

# GNR---
The whole video only gets to NITL in the last 13 seconds....and it is mostly about album and single releases...so they post that...as "The Beginning" - then the same day they post this stuff about how it's not over....
This is actually the one I saw. My immediate thought was maybe something was gonna happen but 2 seconds l thought probably more US dates. I don't expect anything of the band anymore. I just enjoy the music and have a little hope for the future. The days of expecting something or being pissed or bummed that something didn't turn out to be are over for me.

King Arthur Legend of the Sword. It was not as bad as most critics are saying. It's pretty good but could have been much better. Didn't regret buying the ticket.
#284 Re: The Garden » Chris Cornell dead » 423 weeks ago
I couldn't believe this when I heard it on the radio this morning. I was a big Audioslave fan when they first came out and I had just recently gotten into more Soundgarden after some of James suggestions. Sad day for rock and roll. Sad day for music in general.
#285 Re: The Sunset Strip » Most Recent Movie You've Seen » 424 weeks ago
Blood On The Mountain. It's a netflix documentary about the coal businesses in West Virginia/Kentucky, and how corrupt they are. Essentially, start digging, send employees in there, wait until it becomes dry or you have a mass casualty, file bankruptcy. Repeat.
While I recognize it does lean left, there's truth in it. Senators are essentially ushered into office via these company execs, as they finance their campaigns. So the Senators pass laws and downplay investigations into workplace accidents. They lose a lawsuit for $50 million, file bankruptcy, and don't have to pay their employees their pensions. The former employees, just go on down the road, to the new mine that opens up. It also gets into Black Lung, both decades ago as well as today.
Towards the end, it gets into the newer method of mining, which is more just scraping the tops of the mountains off completely, and digging down with heavy duty equipment, using less manual labor anyway, but it just seems way dirtier & bad for the air.
It's worth watching, and is really well made. Not just the topic, but the production quality & amount of research. Something I'm a stickler for with docs.
I just put that on my list last night. Gonna check it out this weekend. Seemed interesting enough. Netflix is pretty solid with their docs.
Just saw Guardians 2 last night. Really dug it. Maybe even better than the first.
#286 Re: The Sunset Strip » HBO's A Game of Thrones » 429 weeks ago
I expect the BWOB to meet with Arya and head to Winterfell. Outside of some minor skirmishes to clean up the outlying political conflict, I don't see a whole lot of time being dedicated to the political infighting. Dany has her Dragons and 50k Dothraki. There's not an army in the 7 kingdoms that can put up much of a fight.
I see them meeting up with red woman as she is heading south and they are heading north. Her telling them about Jon and then they ultimately will back the King in the north against the dead.
#287 Re: The Sunset Strip » HBO's A Game of Thrones » 429 weeks ago
I think the Brotherhood will have a bigger role this season. They were heading north.
#288 Re: Guns N' Roses » One Year Later - Did you get what you wanted? » 429 weeks ago
I got to see the 3 of them on stage together and a great show but if there isn't new music it's kinda hard to get excited for a tour that is usually the same show minus a song or two over and over again. I think we all expected a second coming of sorts. Not like it was but better than we had for years.. but we got the same old song and dance.
#289 Re: The Sunset Strip » Metallica new song 'Hardwired', new album Nov. 18th » 430 weeks ago
Got tickets for the show here in May. Never saw them live before and I get to see Volbeat so it's a win win. It was either Metallica or GNR again so I opted for the shorter drive.
#290 Re: The Sunset Strip » The Video Game Console Thread » 430 weeks ago
I beat and platinumed Horizon. 60 hours of game play . Took a over a month. I thought it was great. Nothing groundbreaking but just a really really fun game. Story was cool enough to keep my attention.
Decided to pass on Wildlands after playing the beta. Didn't seem worth it. Let me know what you think, Neemo.
