I always forget that Karen Black is in Rubin and Ed. She's weird, but I dig her. I sometimes get her mixed up with Mary Woronov from Rock 'n' Roll High School and Eating Raoul. I actually saw Karen Black in New York last year in The Vaginia Monologues, and she was fan-freaking-tastic. She did a scene where she acts out all the different kind of orgasms a woman can have. She had me laughing so hard that I thought I was going to have to get up and leave. It hurt that much. My sides hurt so much that I was twisting and squirming in my seat like a madman--and of course there was my mom sitting next to me doing the same thing. She's cool like that.

Oh, speaking of Eating Raoul, one time in about 1988, Whitesnake and Great White played Humphrey Coliseum in Starkville. Now, I was no great fan of either band, but I was so starved for live rock that I went. (Whaddya want? I was 16 and lived in a small town in Mississippi. I also saw Bon Jovi and Cinderella the year before. Get over it.) Anyway, the day before the concert, Rudy Sarzo and Adrian Vandenberg from Whitesnake did an appearance at Backstage Music in Columbus. So, again, since we had nothing better to do, we went. Besides, we thought Rudy was pretty cool--hell, he played with Ozzy and Randy Rhoads. That's pretty badass. So Tom, Kirk (Vicious Hell Bastard), Wes (Vile Fiend), and I got up to the table there and started talking shit to them. I looked Rudy right in the eye and said, "Look, buddy, we're the big band around here. We're Dry Heave, man!" (Never mind that our biggest gig was Fred Brown's house party.) Rudy looked at me, laughed, and said, "Dry Heave?!? What, is that like Ralph from Eating Raoul?" (That's what it sounded like, anyway. I've never known exactly what he was talking about, because I don't think there's a character named Ralph in Eating Raoul.)

And on the whole Rudy Sarzo/Ozzy Osbourne/Randy Rhoads thing, did you know that Ozzy recently re-recorded the bass and drum tracks for Diary of a Madman and Blizzard of Ozz? He had his current drummer and the dude who just joined Metallica do them. That's just blasphemous. Those were great albums. It's wrong to go back and tinker with them over some old bullshit.

I'm Chris. I'm a Metal God™.

Oh, and I'm aware that I'm posting like crazy lately. It happens sometimes. It'll pass.

>>That's the first I've heard of it. I'm not surprised that it's about money. Oof. I hope the original recordings don't go out of print because of it. Guess I'd better grab Diary while I still can.

ROCK THE FOOK OUT!

That reminds me, when I was living with my best friend, Bridgtette, I use to bring home old metal cassettes I would find in the $.99 cent bins. Heh, I tortured her with Girlschool, Raven and the Vinnie Vincent Invasion for a month not to mention some Uncle Teddy (Nudget).

\m/\m/

Also, I was cordially invited to a Slaughter concert by Mark Slaughter himself. I had met his tour manager, Jeff and he had the band call me. I forced myself not to laugh, and I weasled six free tickets out of them. A band named "sIIn" opened up for them. sIIn, with a double 'I'- HA! They even had stripers from the Dollhouse dancing onstage with them. It was hilarious.

ps. Karen Black stars in "House of a Thousand Corpses" too.

I gotta see that Thousand Corpses movie!

Haha, Mark Slaughter! Who of course was in the Vinnie Vincent Invasion, but I'm sure you knew that. :) That first Vinnie album was the bomb. I always wanted one of those Vinnie signature model Jackson King V guitars. That guy was the most insane guitarist EVAR!

And Raven!!! I was just thinking about Raven the other day. There was some dumbass '80s movie called Hot Moves or something that they actually did the title song for!

Yeah, me too. I might actually have 'em both, but I'd better check. Something I saw said that the ones that have the original covers printed small in the middle with "OZZY" big around the outside are the ones to get. Like this:
