Carl’s Jr.'s like a beast.
Should be the title of their next album
[reply]Would an Al Jourgensen “seeing the light” moment be totally out of the question?
Think he already had his brush with that. Angie was making him go to church back in Texas. I remember Sin posting pictures from one time he was out there and she drug them all to church. It was ridiculous.[/reply]
Wow I completely missed that. I hope he put something in the collection plate. Some 13th Planet swag at the very least.
Blackie Bra-less.
I wouldn’t say any of it is “Christian Rock”, per se (though it would be hard to argue specifically against W.A.S.P.'s latest “Golgotha”. album , I suppose) Some of the frontmen are Christian and it does have some influence of thematic presentation and message, I suppose. But they’re just rock and roll musicians/ artists. Religion is just on part of their personal lives/ beliefs, and not the sole purpose and package when making a statement or presentation.
Almost everything Alice Cooper has done since The Last Temptation has been demonstrably Christian. Furthermore, Dragontown and Welcome 2 My Nightmare are distinctly fundamentalist in nature, with an almost Jack Chick-like focus on sinners burning in hell. Oddly enough, I’d say his weakest albums from this period are the trilogy where he toned down on the religious influences (Eyes of Alice Cooper, Dirty Diamonds, and Along Came A Spider, which is so dull I don’t even own it). As a covers album, Hollywood Vampires is an outlier, but I’m very interested to see what he does next.

I’m working my way up to completion of my collection and I’ve actually only got up to “Last Temptation”. I’m familiar with a decent bunch of the new songs, but don’t own the albums yet.
As for the albums suffering when he toned down stuff, I think that would actually make sense. Blackie actually mentioned this in an interview recently that whether Christian or Satanic, a lot of metal bands pull from the same material. Hell, demons, etc. . . . it makes great visual stuff.
And I think an album/songs strength is not a function on the artist’s particular beliefs, but his/her passion and sincerity. I think that is why I find so much “Christian Rock” to be unstomachable. It’s typically formulaic and too much seemingly a business proposition than something of actual driven passion. “Hey, let’s copy this style of music so we can write cheesy lyrics and package it for the kids thirsting for something sorta like what they really want.” It’s vastly different than, “I’m going to make the album I want and I feel moved to have some themes of ____ in it.”
One is the artist forcing beliefs and message. The other is the artist inspired by his/her message and beliefs.
Anyway, the main thing is that I need to complete the rest of my Alice collection . . .
I still need to pick up the ones underlined.

Of those, I’d say the only essential one is Brutal Planet. I really dig it, even if it’s a bit of industrial metal cliche, musically. Welcome 2 My Nightmare is notable mostly because he gets the original band back together for a few tracks.
Thanks. Yeah, I’ve heard a lot of praise for Brutal Planet. And I’m already pretty familiar with “Welcome 2” as he’s been touring for it for like 5 years now, haha.
I’ll get 'em all eventually. Hopefully there are some more good package deals I can find.
ALL of the Alice CD’s are dirt cheap on Amazon now.
And many come in multi-album packs.
I should be able to bang out the rest of the discs for a full collection for about $40 total.
I accidentally flipped off the president of my company/ my boss today. He was across the hall (I did not know) where my buddy/coworker had taken a workstation at. I thought it was my buddy coming out the door so I immediately stuck my hand out with my middle finger. It wasn’t my homie . . . it was the big boss man. I think he was in disbelief of what even happened and neither of us acknowledged it. I think I had a half fumble recovery and tried the “one finger scratching my face” on the rebound to kind of make it seem like I was just being spastic or something.
He asked me if my new computer was working out and I was super “Oh, yes! Great computer! Very nice! Thank you so much! It’s very efficient!” over-compensating for the oddball blunder I’d committed.

Nice. Ranks right up there with your piss-ant presentation blunder.[/reply]
HAHAHA!!! Good memory, Dude.
Anyway, I actually went to his office a couple hours ago and told him what happened just in case. I honestly didn’t think he’d registered it, but I was wondering if he might think I was trying to flip him off behind his back or something. Anyway, he’s a good dude and had a laugh when I explained what happened.
And no . . . he had no idea that I’d flipped him off to begin with. So, yeah, now I’m kind of regretting coming clean as it also makes me look like a bit of a classless retard.
The average person will see someone else’s anus far more than they’ll see their own.
Especially the nuwave of adult film stars cuz analingus is very marketable nowadays in the sex trade business…so much so that the ass-licking trend has bled into the mainstream.
I often see many network & basic cable shows insinuate ass play & the glorious act of ass-eating in their repertoire.
Nice to see that our species has come this far along, hey?!?! [:P][:P][:P]
Just heard Love Shack by The B-52s on the radio. I wonder if Fred Schneider and Jello Biafra went to the same singing teacher?

There’s been conspiracy theories for years that they are/were twins separated at birth.

That song is up there with my most hated songs of all time…nestles right up to ‘Shiny Happy People’ and ‘Walking on Sunshine’…

Absolutely!
I feel a new thread coming, unless it already exists…
