The first time I saw The Terminator, I was thirteen.

That was one great movie.

I finally did get around to listening to the entire St. Anger album a couple of weeks ago, and I've been feeling a little guilty. No, Lars isn't threatening to sue me and search my PC for illegal mp3s.

It's always fun to give an album...ahem..excuse me a CD (if you're younger than 25) and give it a fresh listen after a while. So dust off the rubicks cube and the Betamax, we're going back to the future to revisit a lost classic album of the good 'ole 1980's.

It's fucking terrible! It's St. Awful!
It starts off with a promising, bone-chrunching chug we haven't heard from Metallica in over a decade. But don't get your hopes up, by the time we get to the verse it all falls apart into a watered down, loose turd.

Time is a funny thing, isn't it? Who would have guessed that were HG Wells vision of time travel possible, we could fast forward into the future and witness Metallica embracing the very thing they professed to hate. MTV. Go figure.

The Datsuns may be one of the coolest bands you've never heard of. Too loud guitars and bone-crushing rhythm delivered in a quagmire of DIY sludge and girly BGVs; this is the greasy hair, hands in the air, sweaty t-shirt, stinking side of rock. That's right. Forget the melodrama and any faux artistry.

It's Cinco de Mayo and I'm celebrating our nation's newest excuse for overindulgence by working late and tapping in a blog entry or two. Cinco de Mayo, what a great holiday. If anything, the North o' the border version is a celebration of the integration of Hispanic culture into the American melting pot.

I've been wondering about the state of the rock nation in Iraq. I expect that the liberation effort is going to have the result of an Iraqi cultural explosion. One born from the removal of long-suffered tyrrany, the angst of an uncertain future and the influx of western culture that will inevitably be brought on by a lengthy US presence in the region.

I'll admit it: I was a George Lynch fanatic. He is arguably one of the most technically gifted people to ever pick up a guitar, and man that dude is bad. The guy has come up with some of the meanest riffs ever put to vinyl or polycarbonate, and when he smokes it will send a shiver down your spine.

The Register is reporting that Hillary Rosen, CEO for RIAA, has been enlisted to help revise Iraq's copyright legislation.

OK OK OK, I know. It's inane, ridiculous and sophomoric. Throw any derogatory adjective that you may, and chances are it will stick to Twisted Sister. But you can't stop rock and roll, and you certainly can't hide from the fact that one of the 80's most infamous acts is regrouping for a world tour.
