Your post is really well articulated and I don't want this to sound like an attack on you, but I take issue with this pervasive idea that bad lyrics or misguided politics are just a fact of life in metal music and aren't worthy of criticism. And I get what you're saying, because in the vast majority of metal albums,…

I think I would disagree with downgrading Slayer simply because their whole aesthetic and lyrical style has always been "fluff" with the express purpose of jarring or offending people, without really having an agenda. Regardless of the fact that I personally enjoy them, they're more or less harmless. Mustaine has…

I mean, his lyrics were never even good to begin with, but he seemed like such a harmless dork that I think most of us were able to still find him likeable. To see him slowly morph into this paranoid maniac is kind of sad.

I've slowly been inching farther and farther away from my love of Megadeth over the years because of how fucking crazy Dave has become or always was. A lot of metal bands sing about new world orders or government conspiracies because it's "cool," so I never really put much thought into it, but one day I had this…

Bowie had one yellow eye. A yellow eye, so help me God a yellow eye!

I like to imagine a few extravagant cod pieces are rolling around loosely in there.

A picture has recently been going around of Bowie wearing a big, black, baggy Pixies shirt and it made me really happy.

That poster to me always looks like she's got the kid hostage and she's about to snap his neck.

Watch out, he's got friends in low places.

MOST adaptations of the Alice books piss me off on some level, but that movie was on a whole level of its own. Fuck that movie.

You're not gonna make a dummy out of ME!

It's so poppy and silly, too, but somehow that just makes it even more poignant.

Me too! I thought he wrote it, I'm that much of a goober

All the Madmen is ciminally underrated, as is the rest of the rest of the album

"Everyone says hi" is the first song I put on when I heard Bowie died, and I made it to the bridge befor I started weeping like a child
(I am drunk right now if you can't tell)

Yeah, the last season seemed to be sort of a bounce back to lighter stuff after the fourth season took such a dramatic turn. I like all of it, but I guess I can see why some people might not be inclined to like the more serious stuff.

To be fair, the shows are taking extra time to come up with a good plan, whereas DNF started production way too early and got dragged out to eternity because they had no plan.

I still think "The Beard" (which he talked about on WTF) needs to get made, you're right that he excels more in smaller slice-of-life stories, but I think that was his one idea that would be excellent as a big ass movie.

That's not really fair; the movie that came out of that fiasco was patently not the movie he made. Now, Louie himself has said it was a flawed film to begin with, but I don't think we can judge him when the version we saw was C-sectioned behind his back.

It was surprising to see it renewed, but I have to wonder if AMC is getting desperate now that The Walking Dead seems to be their sole remaining claim to fame.
