The same here. I'll be 32 this summer and ever since i've been about 20, year after year i've become less tolerant of people in general. That's the big reason I do the overnight shift at my job. The less contact i have with the world in general the happier I seem to be.

The two best things in this thread have definitely been the nearly universal hatred of people and Ravenheart's thoughts about drinking.

He doesn't hate it, he realized it was a step in his life to get where he is now. I don't think he's proud of the fact that he either was under the influence or intentionally cutting himself off from his medication to treat bipolar disorder. He said The New Black was kind of a joke because unlike City or Alien, it was just heavy for the sake of being heavy instead of representing what he was going through at the time, and any more SYL material would have been the same.

This is all from what I've heard in interviews or whatnot so I'm pretty sure about this, but Devin might be able to correct me.

Also, I've been thinking about the Stairway vs. Freebird thing again. The consensus last time was "Freebird is blues based, Stairway is for neo-classical faries", but I'm 100% sure I'll take Stairway any day because it has an actual progression to it instead of 3 minutes of soft, 3 minutes of loud, 3 minutes of louder.

Here is an actual truth...

I would go to more shows in Worcester if I lived closer.

No truer statement in this thread. Or any other.

And how many do we each know who are? Ten? Tops?

-With the sole exception of Municipal Waste, not one good (or even decent) thrash metal band was formed in the 2000-2010 decade.
-99% of 1 man black metal bands suck. 80% of black metal is awful.
-Anything metal that is commonly described as "new", "technical", "progressive", "groove", "-core" or "melodic" is probably unlistenably bad.

Shut the fuck up.
