Oh, I think the sequel will be their Waterloo.

Oh, definitely. I'd add "Drawing Flies" too, as just insanely solid.

You're the first person to recognize my avatar! Or at least say something. I was sure, when I changed it, there'd be a steady stream of "Hell, yeah! Joe vs. the Volcano!" comments.

There's a hole in our hearts!
As deep as a well!
For that poor little boy,
Who's stuck halfway to hell!

I had this, well… not to hyperbolize, but profound moment about a year ago as I sunk into a blackness and was trying to convince myself over the course of days and weeks that my kids would be better off without me (better to not have a dad who's a failure, blah blah blah).

Ha ha ha! Classic WDM!

That's funny, me too and for the same reason.

I believe depression is possibly the closest approximation of true evil there is. It not only lies, it convinces you that now, only now, are you truly seeing things clearly.

Also: The Day I Tried To Live

That opening blast on "Hands All Over" is just so fantastic. It's the sound that should happen as you walk into a room, and everyone underestimated you but you're about to show them all just what you're fucking made of.

Had a conversation just a couple of days ago about albums with no weak spots - no tracks to skip. Superunknown is perfect, but it was one of mine to make the list.

I wonder how much of it was an ironic rejection of music videos and how much was just… you know… bad.

It was a dark time. A dark, greasy time.

Was it, like, "Quit your bitching, I'm a rock star" or more like, "Hour late, I'm such a rock star, ha ha"? Hopefully the latter.

For a moment I was stumped what Roger Ailes, O'Neal, and The Fine Young Cannibals had to do with each other.

It has its moments. Like, 3 of them.

Man, what a performance artist! Really makes you think. Really makes you think.

1941

Yeah, I saw that shortly after the news of Cornell and initially thought, "Well, at least there's that…" but quickly switched to "No, he needed to see it all come apart. He needed to know he was a joke and had failed."

I don't know what to "hope" for (if that's the word): overdose for someone who was an inspiration to recovering addicts? But the rumors are of hanging, so… Suicide? The only other option that seems viable is auto-erotic asphyxiation which would be so god damn ridiculous a way to go out for someone like him.
