So… Still no album? Shocker.

Oh, I see. They were that '90s industrial metal band that opened for every touring act in their hometown, but never developed a following outside their local scene. If they were anything like the ones around here, even locally only their buddies came out to see their shows.

HAHA!!! Yeah, that’s the one (and their “buddies” were usually a small handful of people at the first gig or two and then after that it might be one or two jackasses . . . . if they are lucky).
These types of losers are all the same. They try to blow up every little thing into something bigger. If Lollapalooza happened to come through their town, they might weasel a spot with the organizers whereby they are allowed to (perhaps by paying $1000 to some shady promoter) play in the parking lot BEFORE the gates open for the festival. Then they tell everyone that they were "on the Lollapalooza tour with the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Ministry and Pearl Jam and . . . . which had a confirmed attendance of 60,000 people . . . "
Uhhhh, no, Jerks. You played 3 songs on the back of your broken Ford 250 next to the parking lot porta-potties until you were forced to stop because you didn’t actually have a permit to be there.

OMG. I am going through this exact scenario. A guy who I know (our kids are friends) is in a semi popular band around here. (They played Ozzfest in the early 2000’s and had an album on Ozzy’s label).
Anyways. They are playing this year at the Heavy MTL Festival and all the guy keeps saying is “WE ARE ON THE SAME BILL AS FAITH NO MORE!!!”
And I’m trying REALLY hard to not post on his wall… Dude you will be playing on a different day and on a different stage. Just because your name is on the same promo poster doesn’t mean you are opening for them.
But I’ll be a good boy. For now.
^HAHA!
What’s the band called?
But, yeah, they want it to sound they’re gonna be kickin’ it backstage drinking martinis and eating turkey sandwiches with Mike PAtton and Ozzy Osbourne before they play to a screaming crowd of 80,000 fans . . . . uhhh, no. They’re going to be playing a 15 minute set at 11:00AM behind the churro wagon.

They play every year at the Rockfest Festival that I go to as well.
And you are 100% correct, I’ve gone to Rockfest 3 years in a row now… I usually get there at noon on the Friday, and their band is basically finishing up their set… I’ve never seen them play. I usually hear them while I am in line waiting to get my ticket scanned, or buying a beer…
I remember their name popping up during Ozzfest 2000. Didn’t catch their set, but thought the name was cool at that time. Gunnar’s description of them making it out to be bigger than it actually is sounds like a lot of those that were into nu metal back then. Same people that thought Slayer’s first album was “Diabolis In Musica” and that Metallica’s biggest hit was “Enter The Sandman”

Metallica’s biggest hit WAS “Enter Sandman”.
“Nothing Else Matters” is neck and neck with it, though.
Many see the BLACK ALBUM as the point where Metallica started to jump the shark, but there’s really no debate regarding the success of that record.
I don’t think there’s anyone on the planet that thinks “Diabolus in Musica” was Slayer’s first album.
If your point is that nu-metal kids are less informed about thrash giants’ history and don’t have the greatest taste in music by many of our standards, yeah, that could be a valid argument . . . . but I’m not planning to go toe-to-toe in a Linkin Park/ Limp Bizkit/ KoRn/ Coal Chamber trivia contest with any of them either.
Festivals promote and showcase a lot of what is current, new, or up and coming. I’m old and don’t really give a crap about any of that. I’ll show up 5 hours later when a band I like actually takes the stage. If some 14 year old cornrow-sportin’, baggypants kid is turned onto Metallica or Megadeth or something . . . . great. I’m actually glad he gave MY music a chance since I sure don’t plan on doing the same with his.

This.

Do you remember the bit in A Year and a Half in the Life of Metallica when Lars Ulrich is reading a newspaper review of the previous night’s show, and the absolute disgust in his voice when he reads that the newspaper referred to it as “Enter The Sandman”? Great documentary.
^No, I’d never seen it. I’ll look for it. I just thought Pile had mad a typo or something. I can totally picture Lars’ voice and face when you wrote that, by the way.
Reminds me . . . I need to still get “Mission to Lars” too.

It’s pretty funny, i think the newspaper said that they played some other song that actually wasn’t on their setlist for that show, so Lars was pretty annoyed at the shoddy journalism. I hear Mission to Lars is good, but i don’t think i can be arsed watching it.
I’ve decided that it’s now my mission to write and record a song called “Enter The Sandman”.

It sounds like some awful Russian or Yugoslavian trying hard to do his cover version (think Olaf / Berzerker from “Clerks”).
“Eeeeexxxiiiittt the light!!!
Eeeeennttteerrr the nigggggghhhttt!!!”
Yeah, but when you do it, you must make sure that throwing in that extra “the” totally throws the timing of the song and makes it sound really amateurish.

You’re onto something!
In all seriousness, I’ve met many who refer to the song with “the” in the title and have almost had heated arguments (remember this was back in late 1990’s/early 2000’s) over it. It’s like how some people still call NIN’s “Closer” “Fuck You Like An Animal”
Yes, it’s a pet peeve. A silly one, but still a pet peeve.
Unbelievable. This motherfucker thinks because he’s got some bullshit remix EP finally coming out, he should [url https://twitter.com/primitiverace/status/581345304412360704]do a victory lap.
What a fucking asshole.
Stupid dip.
First off . . . . it’s NOT an album.
It’s a CD Maxi Single, at best.
What is it? 3 songs and 5 additional remixxxes of one of those songs?
Second . . . . NO ONE HAS SEEN THIS CD OR RECEIVED A COPY YET.
Considering the technical difficulties that I’ve read about someone trying to get a paper bag puppet, forgive me for being skeptical and thinking there might be a few hiccups with the pre-order logistics.
Today he posted a video of one of the songs from the EP, but oh wait, it’s an April Fool’s joke. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ezfZQC-v1kk
Not funny, asshole.
