Pantera & Slayer show on my 18th birthday \m/ \m/

I thought "Good Friends And A Bottle Of Pills" had really interesting guitar playing, if nothing else

I assume 99% of our minds went directly to Seinfeld?

I thought of two non-musicians that will probably make me cry: Jerry Seinfeld and Mike Judge.

Actor deaths don't affect me the way musician deaths do, I'm not really sure why but I just feel more connected to them, in a sense. The only two celebrity deaths that have ever moved me to tears were Dimebag Darrell and MCA. Pretty much any musician that's made music that's really important to me, that isn't at a…

Game of Thrones preview AHHHH!!!!

…damn, that's a hell of a career

what about "Smooth"?

I enjoyed this article. If nothing else I liked his appearance on The Simpsons, he seemed to be a pretty good sport about being called "a big-chinned schlub reading typos from the PALOOKAVILLE POST!"

Weezer. Oh my God, Weezer.

I can relate; I flew all the way to Akron just to zing a guy.

I saw them in 02, 07, and 2010 (Milwaukee, St. Paul, St. Paul) and it seemed like they just kept getting better (although '02 was cool since they played almost all of Lateralus). I'm kind of bummed I missed them in 06 because Isis opened and I've never seen them…and never will :(

Point taken; Rob Halford probably helped with that, and of course the population becoming more tolerant in general.

"Homophobic metalheads"? I'm sure there are some, but the vast majority of metalheads I've met are pretty far from it. There are probably way more gay metalheads than homophobic ones.

Disagree, I love those cheesy keyboards. The white stripes song is cool too. And the music that comes in after the standing ovation is amazing.

That, and when Ed Robertson of BNL replied to the Skeletonwitch HateSong about "One Week"

I think my favorite article of the year was the one about Green Day, the Offspring, and related acts in 1994. It brought back some good memories and had a great comments section.

Breaking Bad: watched "Pilot" on 9/3/13, all the way to "Felina" on 12/17/13. And now I'll never see an episode I've never seen before again, and that's fucking depressing.

Kevin, I am so sorry you got stuck with this assignment.
