Shit. Think I'm gonna stay at work for a while. Got hit w/ MORE pages from the magazine for--yep, you guessed it--a one-day turnaround. And I'm supposed to have a chapter of that other project edited by Friday, so I, um, probably need to start on that sometime. :/

A while back I wrote in general about people who are very sweet but quite stupid. Then there are the people who you also like, but all of a sudden you realize are FUCKIN' CRAZY. And then there are the spazzes. You would think spazzes would be immediately recognizeable, but it's not always so. Today I diagnosed a spaz's spazzitude after knowing him for probably a year.

This has absolutely nothing to do with any LJ folks, I swear. It's these nutty bastards at work. I've KNOWN you guys are nuts. ;-)

You mean this Metallica thing is REAL? It can't be, right? That's a damned dangerous precedent for Metallica to set, I think. If they can successfully sue someone for using E and F chords, then they're gonna get the GONADS sued off 'em by Tony Iommi. I heard they wrote a lot of their earlier songs by bashing through Sabbath tunes and reworking the riffs. I think that would be just hilarious if they got sued by every band that ever influenced them--Sabbath, the Misfits, Diamond Head, etc. They've even admitted that "Seek and Destroy" is basically a slightly changed version of a Diamond Head tune (can't remember which one).

I hate that band so much. I still think their first four albums (plus the original Garage Days Re-Revisited EP) were great, but I can't even listen to them anymore. Ever since the black album (Spinal Tap, anyone?) I feel betrayed. Does anyone here do hexes, spells, or whammies? I want them to lose all their money and have to get minimum-wage jobs at Taco Bell. And if they want to still be a band, they'll have to open for bands who play nothing but E and F chords all goddamn night. And the womens and girl-thangs will scorn them like dirty dogs.

It's never a good idea to convince yourself that yer own shit don't stink.

I am so suing you for your use of "w/," "um," and "shit."
They're mine, dammit, all mine!

>>I'm surprised they didn't sue Dave Mustaine for turning Four Horsemen into Mechanix.

Ever since the black album (Spinal Tap, anyone?) I feel betrayed.

>>Hee. I thought the same thing about Spinal Tap when that album came out.

ACK! Busted! I suppose it was bound to happen, though. Such blatant plagiarism cannot go undetected or unpunished.

They've probably got a squad of attack lawyers on the Mechanix case as we speak. :)

Back in the day, I was a Metallicahead. Now I cannot stomach them. After reading this article, I will never listen to them again. That is so seriously stupid.

seriously.

no, seriously.

The world should sue Lars for hogging up all the UGLY! I listened to some of the Unfaith songs, and possibly if you just got in a car accident and you had to get one of those hearing aides in your head that turns all sounds into robot voices then...some of the songs might hint at the influence of a horrible new Metallica tune. Nobody is going to mistake Unfaith for Metallica! Couldn't they have sued a better band with more money or would that just be too much of a challenge for the media giants?
