AAARRRGGGHHH!!!

A daft idea? Here's one; let's book Megadeth to play on June 16th in the capital when quite a few headbangers have other commitments that they'll be attending to on the same day! This is absurd, pointless and an absolute outrage! Whose bright idea was this, eh? Was it yours, Mr Dumbnuts Promoter? Shame on you sir. There should ONLY ever be one classic metal gig in the city per night.
Are you actually aware of the total cost of shipping me over to Folkestone and back to Croydon on the same night (especially now that I've put on more weight)? You saw a business opportunity to be made out of my unfortunate condition. You're all rip-off merchants, scallywags, ne'er-do-wells and above all else, rogues of the highest order. Perhaps, Mr Promoter, you have the same name as Motorhead's support band?
Shame on you, I say.
SHAME ON YOU!

Well I know which one I would rather see and am going to. I'm obviously not a true mother of all things rock as I couldn't name or hum one Megadeth song. Don't think I've ever listened to them. In fact, come to think of it - always treated them with quiet disdain and thought that they only existed as patches on the back of heavy metallers jackets.

Aww, that's a shame RoMo, as they're not that bad an outfit to listen to. They've always been better than that other corporate rock band that go by the name of Metallica.

Tell ya what, I'll play six Megadeth songs just for you on the next podcast.

Erm, that might not be such a good idea...perhaps just the one song from them - and maybe something by Angel Witch too.

Ugh - I loathe and detest Metallica - what a load of cobblers - and Slipknot - I wish they would tie the knot - irreversibly.

Oh no! I feel another Death Stare coming on...

Istvanski said...

"Kill 'em all" & "...and Justice for all", great albums. The rest of their output is shite. And they sacked Mustaine, but that wasn't really a bad thing considering what became of him later on.

There'll be no more death stares round here if ya don't mind.

It should be ok. You'll be pleased to hear that I've recently been attending DSA - Death Stares Anonymous. You have to sit around in a circle and insult each other - everyone has to try really hard not to throw a death-stare. Then you go down the pub.

"My name's RoMo and I'm a death-stare-aholic".

rockmother said...

DSA-in recovery thank you. Oh no, I've had a relapse and just shot you another one!

Istvanski said...

...which means I'll have to go back and see Dr Gandalf for more medical treatment.

rockmother said...

I've heard he rocks!

Istvanski said...

He lives in Boulder, Colorado.

Was his papa a rolling stone?

What's the difference between a Scotsman and a Rolling Stone?

A Rolling Stone says 'Hey you, get off of my cloud!'
while a Scotsman says 'Hey McLeod, get off of my ewe!'

Not going to wither, but looking forward to listening to the new Megadeth album (United Abominations).

Llewtrah - It's released today (14th May), isn't it? I shall have to pay a visit to play.com.
