"... And what about zombies? You never hear from Zombies! That's the trouble with zombies, they're unreliable! I say if you're going to go for the angel bullshit you might as well go for the zombie package as well." George Carlin

WHAT?

Metal Lesson One: If you are an opening act with only ten feet of stage space and a complete lack of proper soundboard mixing and personal talent1 then just keep cranking the volume. Seriously. To eleven.

My fucking ears are still ringing after High on Fire's stoner metal shit-storm. And Matt Pike (pictured left) needs to go on Jenny Craig. Hip-slung jeans and a late period Jim Morrison physique are not working for you like they did for the Lizard King. You seriously look like Jack Black's untalented older brother.

Opeth, OTOH, was SICK! More on that when I can hear again. I hate when I forget earplugs!



1 Seriously, this was diet metal for sure: talent-free. Even the hard core fans behind us were ridiculing HOF.

At least Jack Black usually keeps his clothes on...!

If he were a girl, and if this were TMZ, there would be an arrow pointing to his belly that said, "baby bump?"

Ginger: or at least when JB takes his clothes off it's funny.

Sandra: He might have eaten a baby. That is the public face of metal. The honest face of metal is nachos w/extra cheez-whiz and cheap beer. For the sake of amusement, let's pretend he's a post-op tran who's preggers.
