The UNPOPULAR Opinions Thread

I’ve said sheeple a little bit recently, but I mean it more in a funny/sarcastic way. Celebrities like Tila Tequila say it like they mean it. It’s quite sad.

Yeah, I expect a lot more from Tila . . . I mean, you know, after first checking on Wikipedia to see if she’s even alive still. It is 2013 afterall.

^How do you sleep at night?

Why would you assume I’m being touchy about it? Go rub Lord_of_Lard’s back while he takes a nap.[/reply]
What an excellent suggestion [rolleyes]. cause you’re acting like a little bitch, more so than usual, I mean.

How about you faggy faggits go fag off out of here and take your faggity faggitry somewhere else? Fags.

Metallica weren’t better with Cliff Burton.

The hippy counter culture revolution achieved very little.

Aliens was not a good film.

Abbey Road was not a good album.

Just curious . . . what era/lineup of Metallica do YOU think is their finest?

I personally like 87 - 92.

It would be a toss up of the Ride The Lightning/Master of Puppets period or the Black Album/Load period.

I have a feeling someone might agree with me on this next one. Butch dykes really piss me off for the most part. I’m talking the ones that look like dudes at first glance. I’ve made exceptions over the years, but if you’re a chick and wanna look like a dude, then you should have the junk to go with it. If you wanna play dress up/do drag sometimes, then that’s cool. Getting a sex change is a little weird, but do what makes you happy. But unless you’re getting a sex change, then look like a fucking woman if you have vagina.

Also, Arrested Development is lame, Doctor Who sucks, and Portlandia is the worst show in the history of television. End rant.

Doctor Who is fagballs. I’ve never seen Arrested Development. And I’ve never even heard of Portlandia. But I’m sure they all suck, so I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt on all of those and I’m sure they are all gay and suck ass.

Neurosis bore the hole off me.

So Solid Crew were the Sex Pistols of 2002.

Northern Ireland is a cesspool filled with cunts in power and cunts on the street who think you’re threatening them if you look at them (not exactly an unpopular thought, but one that needed to be expressed).

This happened in Dublin, but I can’t tell you where the dude was actually from, so I won’t claim to know . . . I saw a guy with an Iron Maiden shirt and said, “Right on! Up the Irons, Mate!” He stared at me, like he didn’t know what I was saying, so I simplified, “Iron Maiden! Right on, Mate!” I held out my hand in friendship.

“I’m not your fuckin’ mate! I don’t fuckin’ know you!”

"All right, then, " I answered, and went back to partying with my much-more-accommodating brothers and sisters (all from US or Australia, I should mention).

The rest of the people in Ireland were pretty rad. But this dude always stuck in my head as being particularly a-holish.

Probably didn’t know Iron Maiden was a band, just wearing the t shirt because he saw some celeb wearing it.

I don’t know. This was supposedly a "metal bar’. The dude didn’t look like a typical metalhead (he had close-cropped, almost buzzed, hair) but still, who doesn’t know who Maiden is? I think he just thought himself a hardass.

Was it this place?

If so, there’s usually a healthy contingent of posers like the loser you just described.

So Maiden actually has tough fans in Europe? That’s cooler than the fag majority of their fans in the States. The only songs I like from Maiden are “Can I Play With Madness,” “Stranger In A Strange Land,” and “Bring Your Daughter To The Slaughter.” I also like “Running Free” with Paul Di’Anno, and I’m curious to hear more from that period. I will say that they were the highlight of Ozzfest '05, but Gunnar and I have told that story numerous times.

Lot’s of generalization’s about “fan” bases happen on this board…it’s very strange…

HAHAHAHA!!! Yes! That was it. As soon as I saw the “3 bars under one roof” tagline it was confirmed. This is the one with the statue of Phil Lynott near it on the outside, right?

The reason “3 bars” struck a chord with me is because someone told us Bruxelle’s was a “metal bar” and we went there but it was just a bunch of preppies and such and the songs were mostly pop stuff like Oasis or other modern rock stuff. We stayed there for some time regardless and were having fun loading the jukebox up with Quiet Riot, Satyricon, Motley Crue, AC/DC (pretty much any rock we could find on it we’d play).

Then I went to the restroom and found myself wandering down the hallway to discover that . . . . the metal bar was right there. Well, I’m glad we didn’t find it first, to be honest, as that place was LAME. A sparse collection of miserable doofuses who seemed to be deathly allergic to having a good time. I don’t remember what good time metal song came on, but later when I started jamming some air guitar and rocking out I remember people around just staring at me like I walked into the Vatican naked or something.

Anyway . . . I won’t be going back there. I much preferred Bleeding Horse.

EDIT: I just noticed this pic even says “Bruxelles” on the railing behind Phil.

I don’t know if Mooney is following this thread, but she probably has a clearer memory of these places than I do.

Just for the record:
Thin Lizzy is fucking awesome!!!

Totally true.

And I LOVE that Phil statue. We need more bronze statues of rock gods. In LA I think we have . . . zero. Yeah, I’m pretty sure we have zero.
