Greg Anderson is definitely more purely rooted in metal between him and O'Malley.

[@CipherSerpico]

Dream Delirium The details from both of them are a little vague, but from what I’ve read it seems like she didn’t want to have sex with him initially, but she got drunk, blacked out, and they ended up having sex. I’m liberal, but I’m not one of those people that considers that “rape”. The far left is getting fucking ridiculous with that kind of shit. I was kinda just being a smartass when I said “he is busy raping”.

00:45 - That's funny, in my 5th grade class, the teacher allowed us to bring in albums to play for the class on special occasions...we had this one kid in the class who was the youngest of 5 kids and had older brothers and sisters who were known burnouts that did drugs and got into trouble and this kid fascinated and scared me at the same time...he brought in Sabbath Sabotage to play and it blew me away...after that, I had know about Sabbath and lucky enough I had a friend on my hockey team that also had an older brother and he had all the Sabbath albums and we would go down to his basement and play them and all the other hard/heavy rock albums that he had.

[@gruilekzo]

Yes! I LOVE Grief! SO glad to see him bring them up.

[@MrYouarethecancer]

Get every single member of Godspeed You Black Emperor in and make a 14 hour long video of whats in their bag

[@amoeba]

We'd love to do that! Well, probably more like a 14 minute video if we could get them in, but you could certainly play it at half speed for better effect.

[@Milklatte]

Hint! They will release something somewhat soon... they will come to Mexico City in September!! So I bet they will be touring around somewhere in the near future, catch them if you can!!! I am a die-hard fan

Several years ago, I asked my local record store if they could order a Sunn O and Khanate album for me. Any albums would do. I had no idea what they sounded like. I was unprepared for both of them but they are so unique and menacing and truly two of the most unique albums in my collection.

First time I went to Amoeba Music like 18 years ago, I ended up having to piss really bad after the drive from Orange County, after myself and a friend had been there for a half hour or so, perusing the amazing metal and doom CD selection. They told me I couldn't use their restrooms, that they're for employees only (not cool if someone is having an emergency, I mean the risk is that the patron might just piss on the floor if necessary). They told me to go across the street to the Jack in the Box, so I ran across the street while my friend stayed in Amoeba. At Jack in the Box, they wouldn't give me a token for the restroom door unless I bought something. I went with my friend to Amoeba solely because he was going to buy me a CD if I rolled with him. I had no money (fucking disgusting poor people, amirite?). So, I went back across the street and pissed on the wall of Amoeba. That's my Amoeba Music story. Haven't been back since (not because of that though, I just hate going to LA).
