Why are people always about “you can’t hear what they’re saying” when listening to metal? So what, thats not the point. The measure of talent is not in the singing or songwriting like regular jackoffs, but in the drums and guitaring. It takes a hell of a lot more talent to play guitar and drums like they do in metal, than to sing or songwrite or push buttons on a fucking synthesizer.

I even listen to music in other languages like ukranian, spanish and indian, I have no idea what they are singing about, does that make the music shit? No. Is the answer.

fuckin metal. \m/-

This chick bought a monopoly game, changed it to a Metalocalypse theme, called it Metalopoly, gave it to her boyfriend for xmas!

Went to Cannibal Corpse on monday night. Was pretty bad ass.

Bought an Evisceration Plague album cover shirt, with some zombies on the front, yknow, for the ladies. I wore my Dethklok shirt there and low and behold it was the exact same shirt the lead singer was wearing!!! Apparently he did a couple of voices for Metalocalypse and rumoured to be who Nathan Explosion is based on. Half way throught the show he says in a low growl “Would anyone like some coffee!?” – to which everyone started cheering but they didn’t play it Also Some drunk guy at the bar was like “WILLIAM MURDERFACE MURDERFACE MURDERFACE MURDERFACE!!” and shook my hand vigourisly lol.

They played quite a few songs that I knew the titles of, but didn’t know the actual song, but moshed anyway. Got pretty drunk, got pretty fucked, fell over once. When they played Hammer Smashed Face (second to last) the shit went crazy, everyone in the fucking mosh pit. Was awesome!!! Fucking love that song. Then they played Stripped, Raped and Beaten straight after it! Which was fucking even better!!! Great end to the concert, really good show. The singer looks like he’s got no neck though… I kept wanting to yell out “WHERE’S YOUR NECK!”

They also played other family favourites such as “Fucked With a Knife” (for the ladies), “I Cum Blood” (for the ladies), “Perverse Suffering” (…for the ladies) and “Shatter Their Bones” (for the zombies).

Here’s their title track from the new album:

I wish they played this one though:

A++ Recommended would mosh again

Hurrah! Children everywhere are a little bit safer.

Now we just need to hope for Britney Spears to overdose on crack or a bunch of rappers to kill each other in a gunfight!

Well, I downloaded this bands music from Jamendo called Cynicism. And they’re pretty damn good. So I donated them $10. Sure doesn’t sound like much, but they get all of that money (Jamendo takes $1), and the record companies get none. So I’m happy, and a cool band gets some money for releasing their stuff for free on the internet.

P2P can work. Fuck the RIAA.

So we’re at the pub on Thursday night, me Becky, Brad, Nick, and then Letitia turned up later on, and Amy came and hung out when she finished on the bar. Dunno where Shelley was? Think she had work the next day. The owner lady always tops up the jukebox with money from the till for us.

We’re sitting outside at the picnic table, cranking old school stuff like sabbath and eric clapton, all of us pretty wasted.

Topic of laughter for the night was saying smashed pipi, pipi smasher, because the week before. We had been offered (very stupidly) a gig at the Smashed Pipi pub in Mangawhai after some chick at a jam heard us (read: Joe) and thought we were awesome. Which we are, most definitely not.

Topic of laughter, because (as you will know if you already have a dirty mind) pipi representing the female genitalia, and smashing, the act of… fornication. Plus we are apparently 14 years old, thus making it funny. So you can imagine all the euphanisms we were coming up with, including telling threatening each other that we would smash the others pipi if they weren’t careful. Aren’t we evolved.

I get up to go and put on another song, I think I was trying to put on Deep Purple or Cream or something (there was no metal on the jukebox) and instead of hitting 81 on the thing, I hit 61. Which happened to be Vengabus, by the Vengaboys. Man did I feel like a dick, everyone cracks up laughing and points at me while I sit back down, and then they’re trying to make up a combination of my name and vengaboys, with gay taunts and what not. It was to be expected.

Then someone says, “Oh! The van!”, refering to my green van, “The Vengabus!”, “AHAHAHA” and everyone cracks up laughing again… classic…

THe Vengabus

Saturday when we’re on our way to get the engine, Brad texts tesh to ask what the plan was that night. She replies, “I reckon we all get drunk and take the vengabus to the smashed pipi.”

Hehe, good times…

Went to the Psycroptic concert on Saturday night. Was mean! Unfortunately Saturday morning I got a killer ear infection and went to the doctors. Had to pay $75 for him to tell me what I already new and get a script for some amoxycillin. Plus I still had a bit of headache and stuff from my sickness before that. So I didn’t drink or mosh to hard.

Shelley’s friend Ella is apparently into pop and stuff but she came anyway. Didn’t ask her if she liked it though. Pretty sure Shelley liked it, Nick and Brad just thought it all sounded the same, and didn’t like the growling vocals. Everyone is like that at the start though. They played Colour of Sleep and Skin Coffin and Lacertine Forest but unfortnately not my favourite song in the whole world, Cruelty Incarnate

Was still good though. Dawn of Azazel and Metal Tower supported them. The bassist in Metal Tower had a Warlock Bass Guitar.

Anyways, here’s some of their tracks if you haven’t heard them before:

They were out of shirts by the time we got there too which sucked. I was going to buy a hoodie for $40 but forgot… (??)

Unfortunately, I am a lazy fuck and I never got around to putting my speakers and central locking cable through, before Sunday but no one else but Nick came with me. Brad went riding, as did Shelley and Tesh. It was a mean sunny day, had a bit of a jam, got yelled at by Nicks mum for distrubing the neighbours, and left at about noon.

I love roadtrips. Grabbed some subway at Bombay. Got down there at about 3, met the dude in New World carpark in a suburb called Gate Pa (wtf?). Checked the guitar out, no wobbly neck, sweet as. Dude gave me some cash for gas which was cool of him, and we decided to go for a drive and check out the Mount (Manganui). Quite a few people on the beach. Nice girls everywhere, including one of my types (black tshirt and jeans on a hot day) lol.

There were tonnes of dicks just driving round and round in their peice of shit cars though.

Left there, Nick had a sleep in the back, while I stalked some chick in a white skyline all the way back to Papakura. Don’t remember what time we got home. Tried out the guitar, its got a mean sound but only on that amp for some reason. Sounds like crap on Nicks amp.

Then stayed up until about 4am playing Far Cry 2 (awesome game).
