I feel much the same about "Robot Repair".

Dimebag Darryl was as shocking, even though I really wasn't a fan of his music. Mostly because of how it happened, and I'd seen him in interviews and figured he was a very cool guy with no real axe to grind with anyone.

From what I understand a few new songs Warren has written (one, "Spots Of Time", with Phil Lesh) were played on the most recent run at the Beacon.

"Starship Trooper" used to get a lot of play.

I have never heard "Achilles" on regular rotation on either of the classic rock stations in my area.

The first two after Peter left are just as good, IMO.

Absolute Classic Rock in the UK plays "Arnold Layne" and "See Emily Play" way more often than they are played here.

I bet every day's filming will begin with a 3-hour gun safety class.

"I’ve often said that if I ran for president, one of the first things I would do was pass a law that everything that was in high rotation would be axed from the radio station. You want to play Led Zeppelin, you’d have to play “Achilles Last Stand” or whatever deeper Led Zeppelin cut. All the played-out ones, you can…

This guy's opinion of the blues is so infuriating it's actually funny. I bet his friends are all like "don't even get him started on Beethoven".

I like the original but Annie Lennox did a better version of it.

It was recorded two weeks before his motorcycle crash and has been the…

Rated PG.

Which one?

EDIT: Nevermind, Fuller tweeted this article with Brian Reitzell

The Mother's Day commercials in between reminded me of when I watched one of the BTK's victim's son on either CNN or Headline News. He witnessed it when he was five years old. I thought pretty deeply about it as it was a rather harrowing interview, and wept like an idiot.

The Rundown is pretty good.

I remember him talking about death metal when he was on Conan once.

Probably just tired of doing sequels, and wants to put something out that's uniquely his.

He's still good live and hasn't made a commercial record in years. Honestly all the bitching here would be justified if he wrote about his dead son on at least one song of every album he's done since then, but he hasn't.
