Old news - Splitting hairs

(From 22nd September 2008)

J: for your iRod :D
(He sent me the actual song, but here's the link to a shitty live youtube version, just for you!)

M: this is from one of the cds you were showing me last night isn't it? can't remember which though...although i suppose i could google it

J: it's stevie sex summer's band :D

M: those pretty boy floyd people? i always imagined them being a kind of grungy band whenever i heard anyone mention them, i was actually quite surprised when i saw the cd cover!!

J: nope - they're a third rate glam band that came about a bit late, but the Leather Boyz album is like Tuff's CD I have, and underated classic :)
rumour has it that he wears a wig, which is great :)

M: probably does wear a wig - i bet its pretty tough having to keep up hair that big - even dave muff stain who still has very good hair - even his isn't as big like on the back of peace sells :)

J: i love old bands that go bald :D

listen to the dude heckling - kinda lame, but funny. trixter are on that booze crooze thing with scab row and firestorm :P

M: so they're not just scab bands, but old, bald scab bands? ;D

J: at least stevie rachelle admited he had a hair transplant done with the money he earnt from being on a major label for tuff's first album before they were dropped! the other's just wear silly wigs like don dokken and bret michaels


M: i think its usually pretty obvious when people start losing their hair - if they're at least honest about it, it takes away most of the ground for people making fun of them - bret michaels is just a complete joke now! :D

J: one word: Dio!
i personally don't think axl is losing his hair, the corn rows aint helping, but his hair looked ok the year before it was done.
don dokken on the other hand has been noticed with a variety of wigs
haha: bretswig.com

M: hahaha thats the best pic ever it looks like he's in a caveman movie or something.....and yeah, has miraculously reversed the aging process on his hair! how does he think that will pass as his own? i think people need to take action pretty fucking early (i.e. before they start losing it haha!) before they start making out like they have thick flowing locks :D worst thing is - it doesn't make him look any better, he looks like some weird wiggy poser!

J: bret did admit he had extensions but not a wig, but i think he's lying :)

M: totally! extensions make your hair thicker or longer, they don't give you a whole new hairline!

J: and you have women competing for this man's love!

M: yeah but look at those women! they look and sound like old transvestites, i personally wouldn't want them anywhere near me, let alone go on endless dates with those horrible creatures!*

*I meant "horrible creatures" in the best kind of way; I HEART Rock of Love

Greatest Metal Albums in the World Evaaaaaaa

J: i was thinking earlier about how much i hate bands most popular stuff, like because it's over rated and they have better stuff. But what of them albums are actually good?
You follow?
Like I hate Among the Living, but everyone loves it. I don't like Master of Puppets, but it's considered one of their best. Everyone loves the 2nd Earth album, and so do I. So it's an album that to some is the be all, end all, but it's one that is righfully good.
I can't think of many, but you feel me?

M: you mean "overrated" albums that aren't actually overrated, they're just that good? umm...dunno, thing with me and you is that we like a lot of stuff that isn't very widely liked. all my most favourite stuff is realtively unknown, same with you (or in the gg allin side of things is widely DISliked hahahaha)

umm...

can't think of any? :/

J: i mean like albums people go on about being their best album, but it's actually a decent album.
GNR's Appetite for Destruction is a cool album, and it's like their only album to some folk

M: yeah i know, but i'm trying to think of any that i actually like. i quite like master of puppets i guess. rust in peace?

J: i like rip, but it's a bit of a touch and go album, since alot of fans thought they ended on So Far, So Good, Peace Sells is cool, and most megadeth fans bang on about it

M: yeah, the megadeth records are kinda true to hype, pretty much at least.
umm...i know it annoys you and it does have two of the most overplayed songs EVER on it, but number of the beast is a really really good album. twenty twoooooooo, the avenuuuuuuuuuuuuue!

J: i thought about number of the beast, it's a great album, even if it is over hyped. but peace sells has peace sells on it, and i don't like that song much. but number of the beast is a good album :)

M: ooh i like peace sells :( fun to sing, innit. umm, yeah number of the beast is the only one i can think of that is actually a fucking good album.

J: it's a tough ask that question :)
there's plenty of albums i like that people hate, but not many i can think of that i like and others like :D

M: yeah totally :O i've even tried googling some greatest metal albums lists and can't really find any i agree on :/

J: back in black ;)

M: i knew one of us was gonna have to say that at some point
noooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

J: :) :) :)
holy diver?

M: *singing the only line of that song that i know in my head*
nooooooooooooooooooooooo
but i think that track has a pretty good video? in a meatloaf video kinda good?

J: i dunno if i've seen it :)

M: heyyy i'm sure you have! he's in a castle or something??



yeah thats the one :D :D

J: yeah, have seen it :D :D

M: i love that video :D i'm pretty sure i watched it with you once :)

J: yEAH, WE DID, WHEN YOU LIVED IN READING

ooops, not shouting :) :)

M: YES, I THOUGHT I REMEMBERED IT :D hahaha :)

J: hey ;O

Some days later...

J: i still can't think of any "over-rated" albums i like :)

M: apart from number of the beast :)

what about any motley crue ones or something?

J: shout at the devil's the only one i can think of anyone likes best. i like it, but then it's a good album :)
pantera is obviously cowboys from hell :)

M: whats on cowboys from hell? (apart from the obvious duh) i don't have it :(

J: primal concrete sledge, cemetery gates :)
i get confused with that and vulgar, which has walk and fucking hostile.

M: oooh yeah, me too. even tho i own vulgar on both cassette and cd :O

J: metal magic :)

M: :D
