Isn't HIM and HER the same band? Didn't they just do that because of some copyright BS that got in the way when they came to the states?

HIM is a great band. So is CKY, too bad Deron quit...

Ozzy can make fun of Rob Zombie.

Flint isn't that far of a drive from here. I'd drive there. No, really. Haha. My friend who does my tattoos (for free) lives in Flint. He's a singer too... looking for a singer as well?

Is there anyone who knows someone who plays drums in the Lansing, MI area? I'm looking to start a band. I've played guitar since 1991, so I'm wanting someone talented. I like Metal, pretty much all of it... Black Sabbath to 80's hair metal, to Slayer/Anthrax/Megadeth/Testament style thrash, to Pantera, Fear Factory, Type O Negative, Machine Head, to all the European bands like At The Gates, Susperia, Dimmu Borgir, Samael, etc, to the newer bands like Killswitch Engage, As I Lay Dying, and All That Remains. I like it all, and I like playing all styles. I think it's boring to stick with just one style and just be in one sub-genre.

Ever seen the movie Airplane!? Funniest movie ever. "So... ever seen a grown man naked?" HAHA! I laugh my @$$ off every time.

I thought a ship was a boat.

I sleep in a drawer.

I don't judge people by their looks, only their character.

Just go find yourself a nice girl who appreciates nice guys. The ones that don't like nice guys end up regretting it down the road, because they're stuck with some @$$hole. And if they like being with @$$holes, then they have "issues". Don't give those types the time of day. Your time and energy is too good and important for them. They don't deserve it. So, yeah... go find a nice girl. They're hard to find these days, but they aren't extinct yet.

That's awesome.

Yes, it was that way in the military too. Day/Month/Year

Anyone else heard of the world coming to an end on December 21st, 2012? I guess it's been predicted by the ancient Mayans, Nostradamus, and Edgar Cayce, to name a few. Just curious what everyone's thoughts are on this. Have a nice day.

...with our health care system. Insurance companies have a stranglehold on us. Did you know there are people who's job is to look for reasons to deny health coverage? That's pretty appalling... when an honest, tax-paying American is stuck with a mountain of debt, just so they can live, because an insurance company is too cheap to pay for a surgery or treatment. What need do we even have for them if they aren't going to pay out? There are also bonuses for those who work for health insurance companies, when they deny coverage. This whole system is sick and upside down. Flat out Un-American. Part of the American dream is to be able to live healthy and prosperous, so what gives? There have been many criticisms of socialized medicine, most of them hide behind the fear of turning into a socialist country, but you know what? If medicine became socialized, it would erase many problems for the average American. My parents are both doctors, but they are in favor of socialized medicine. I'm proud of them because they don't refuse treatment to anyone, like an overwhelming percentage of other doctors do. Cuba has a better health care system than we do. Does that strike anyone as odd? All I know is I'm surprised there hasn't been some sort of social uprising by the American people on this matter. Most people are incredibly apathetic about issues like this, and honestly, it's going to lead to some pretty big problems down the road. People in other countries don't understand why we are so messed up here, how needing a life saving operation can bring on so much financial debt. They simply don't understand because they don't face those problems. Those problems shouldn't even exist. It's ridiculous. Don't get me wrong, I'm not some crazy anti-American, in fact I served in the military after 9/11 because I was pissed off. I'm just pretty sick of our health care system and how messed up it is. I'm honestly thinking of moving to Canada or Great Britain, because they have a much better health care system than we have. Human beings have basic rights that should not be infringed upon, getting medical treatment is one of them.

Okay, rant time is over. Sorry it wasn't that good... I'm exhausted and need sleep. Working nights sucks.

Star Wars is way better. Star Wars is as much a part of American culture as apple pie, baseball, Steven Colbert, Ben and Jerry's, and Motley Crue. ...and those Budweizer "Real Men of Genius" radio commercials. Haha. I love those.

That's awesome. Headbanger's Ball was on back in the 80's too, and got canceled in the 90's. I wish they'd play the classic versions. I too have taken interest in music production, and I have a studio here at home. It's not super awesome, but it get's the job done for now... until I upgrade everything. Right now I'm working on frequency separating so you can hear each track clearly, even when they are at very close volume levels. There's a lot of crap to learn with all of this stuff, but it's fun learning it. Good luck to you.

...And the term Guitar Hero was around decades before the video game came out, so not every instance of someone using that term is in reference to the game.

I've played guitar since I was 11 (thanks Slash), and I actually think Guitar Hero is a fun game.

The only thing I watch on MTV now is Headbanger's Ball. VH1 is more metal now than MTV. At least VH1 plays Behind the music which I always enjoy, especially when it's Pantera, Ratt, Motley Crue, etc. Metal Mania is cool too, it's either a good video, or a video so awful you can't help but laugh your @$$ off. Haha.

That goes without saying...
