Rolling Metal Thread 2009

I second that.

Phil: Converge aren't metal.

I think at this point they are.

I just saw them play with High on Fire, Mastodon, and Dethklok. So...

Phil: Happy birthday buddy!

I was just busting his chops. Happy birthday, dude!

(Also, Converge are kind of the odd band out on that bill, so that's not a great example. Kind of like when I saw King's X sandwiched in between Hammerfall and Dio.)

happy birthday phil

xpost - Converge sank like a stone on this bill. And I'm a fan from way back.

I thought their set was terrific. Bannon was all "RARR ARR ARR ARR" and doing weird Nazi-like arm gestures; it was hilarious. I couldn't make out a single word of any song.

hey now i know that pearl jam had an album this year!

kylesa is turning up on mad lists and i've never heard them. i think. guess i'll have to youtube/myspace their shit.

Kylesa are great

i dig kylesa a bunch. more than baroness or mastodon actually.

same here, that album will definitely be on my list (a notepad file on my desktop nobody will ever read)

HELLBENT FOR COOKING: The Heavy Metal Cookbook, by Annick Giroux “The Morbid Chef”

Quite the snazzy book, I have to say. A lot of really basic recipes (come on Doro, you don't use cake mix to make a black forest!), some rather humorous, and a bunch that look really cool to try. They've done a very nice job.

the list of bands who contributed is very impressive!

Abigail, Abscess, Accept, After the Bombs, Alcoholic Rites, Amebix, Anthrax, Anvil, Armored Saint, Arphaxat, Atomizer, Autopsy, Bastardator, Bëehler, Blackfire, Blasphemy, Brutal Truth, Budgie, Bulldozer, Cauldron, Children of Technology, Control Denied, Countess, Cruachan, Dantesco, Deadmask, Death, Death SS, Deiphago, Denial of God, Desolation Angels, Destruction, Devastation, Dissection, Doro, Dusk, Electric Wizard, Elixir, Envenom, Exciter, Eyehategod, Faustcoven, Funerot, Goat Horn, Gorgoroth, Grimorium Verum, Gwar, Hidden Hand, Holocausto, Impaler, Inepsy, Judas Priest, Killers, Kreator, Lamp of Thoth, L’Impero Delle Ombre, Lord Vicar, Mantak, Master, Master’s Hammer, Mayhem, Melechesh, Messiah, Midnight, Minotaur, Mortal Sin, Mütiilation, Necromantia, Necrosadist, Nuclear Assault, Obituary, Obscurity, Orodruin, Pagan Altar, Pentagram, Piledriver, Possessed, Procession, Repulsion, Reverend Bizarre, Rigor Mortis, Rotting Christ, Sadistik Exekution, Saint Vitus, Sepultura, Shackles, Sigh, Sir Lord Baltimore, Skyforger, Slaughter, S.O.D., Spirit Caravan, Stiny Plamenu, Tankard, Thanatos, The Gates of Slumber, The Obsessed, The Rods, Lord Weird Slough Feg, Thin Lizzy, Toxic Holocaust, Trench Hell, Trouble, Tygers of Pan Tang, U.D.O.. Uriah Heep, Warlock, Warpig, Weapon, Wino, Witchfynde, Witchtrap, Xibalba, and Zemial.

they're, like, the coolest bands.

i like ALL those bands. what are the odds? okay, sigh aren't exactly on my hit parade these days, but everyone else is!

the book gets 5 Skots out of 5?

well, i mean, it could have been some lame book filled with scott ian's meatballs and ozzy's roasted pigeon recipe or stuff like that. but seriously it would be hard to come up with a cooler list of people. (and the book idea itself is genius. totally great xmas gift for anyone even if they aren't metal fans. hope she makes tons of money off of it.)

glaring lack of absu's sumerian goulash recipe though. i know siegbran will be bummed.

buying it for maria?

i don't think i want to eat anything abscess contributes, you know? stiny plamenu either.

Let me guess: Brutal Truth contributed a recipe for "brownies"?

Pretty jazzed at the thought of cooking up w/ Eyehategod and Amebix as well
