ReplyDeletecoming up soon.
ReplyDeleteI've always thought of heavy metal as poorly played punk, minus the energy, motivation, awareness and in most cases, the intelligence, depending on the punk. HM reminds me of monster cartoons to keep boys happy and head banging away. To see a metal crowd reminds on of a nazi rally. I'll take chaos any day.
ReplyDeleteHey Jonny don't drink and do drugs. I swear I'm funny but I likely sound like a dick. But I don't do it good like you do. Likable and sjhit. I just sound like a dick. I know because my girlfriend just left crying and blah blah. I made it better. But I know or I think I do or I realize I know you but you probably dont know me at all or are unsure about me because i am ________. idk i really like you buddy. i think i sounded crass. uh huh. but if it wasnt in good fun i meant it to be. i prolly sound like a bitch. do me a solid brother please though. dont post my post i always am disgusted when i read back shit that i force. i really like cacaphony you can probably tell and i feel that were close that you'd pick up my sardonic tone. but others wont and i aint trying to make no specticle. if ur laughing at this im drunk i dont care but i was likely just trying to show off to you because i really do vqalue all you have done. u have given me so much music that i will have close to me till the day i die. i really do value it more than most anything else in the world. and i remixed or cut up a scouts of uzebeketa or tahat word spelled right song too but ill show u later. i would spell check this because i really care but if i must be humble than u must suffer imperfection along with me. ima go and dont fall for it if i say i dont remember but if its funny than green light go but its all love man. for you and peni. nick blinko pisses me off even too. i loved enough thanks for all the free shit and time i am a horrible person but i want to be a good guy. live by example. you are the best. lets party someday. i also have. i lost it. hollara at yer boy j! <3
ReplyDeleteHey Citizen, I have greatly enjoyed your excellent punctuationless stream of consciousness blurb, and wondered if you would like to do a guest review of Rudimentary Peni's "No More Pain EP", as i'm running out of stuff to say about RP....what d'you say?....gotta be done before thursday if mission accepted?
ReplyDeleteJZ
Indeed Rev b, heavy metal...where do you start...preferably stop is a good starting point.
ReplyDeletePunk Rock rapidly became heavy metal, and crime of crimes, was directly responsible for the NWOBHM, quite unforgivable......Motorhead excluded of course,who were never metal, and Lemmy always said as much.
The hideous, and ironically titled, 'Punks Not Dead' crowd, truly ended that journey for me. I had long jumped ship before that following what i believed was punk, like Pop Group, Wire,PiL etc rather than the Exploited and the Oi movement.......having said that there are some intelligent modern metal groups, like Sunn(((O, Boris, Ufomammut.....but i wouldn't call them metal personally......so there.
Where has this band been all my life? Starting with this one and working backwards so to speak. Great punk / metal. And short songs too. I have a short attention span. So alot of stuff over 2.5 mins if ain't genius gets skipped. Love this. Is this guy you talk about, the main man, still alive and / or making music / art? I can totally relate to his work which I won't go into. But hey, this guy / band are class act. Thank you so much for this Jonny! You are a fine wine indeed!
ReplyDeleteNick Blinko, yes still alive. Now a renowned 'Outsider Artist'(Schizophrenia is his marketing angle), shifting units in galleries stateside. I think there's a link in the 'Death Church' write up......if you're working backwards the best bits are at the end of your journey.
ReplyDeleteYes, i see myself as a fine whiner with nutty undertones, and a hint of cyn-amon (sic).
How could I say no. I've actually made contact with someone but I have to check if it's desired or not for me to balk about. So it goes. But only if we make a Peni cover band with Judas and name it Enormous Clitoris... ???
ReplyDeleteOk, deal, My choice of Peni covers are either 1/4 Dead, Rotten to the Core or The Mercy of Slumber from 'Archaic'....but i bet you want something from cacophony!.....i await your RP submission.
ReplyDeleteCount me in! Whose gonna do vocals aka who smokes the most cigs and drugs and drinks the most whiskey? This band are fucking amazing. Everything a good punk / metal band should be. ie short intense songs, intelligent lyrics and delivered with venom and spit. That's my humble opinion. Though couldn't that be a blueprint for alot of r n' r. Look away progressive metal fans! I just realised something this afternoon while listening to Echoes repeatedly. The whole Echoes album is approx the length of 2 medium length Metallica songs! As the saying goes: short and thick does the trick.
ReplyDeleteHow about Clitor-Christ for the band. Just taking your idea somewhere different Citizen.
ReplyDeleteThat is not bad Judas. Not bad at all. The other is a sort of antithesis though to RP if you look up it's origin story by Matthews. Which I'll save any the trouble and just say it means an undeveloped or under developed penis. I would usually then relate this with a pun directed at you but since you don't find me humorous anymore and have drew the shades on our chum chum time slummings I will digress and go weep softly into my chewed up pillowcase as I think of happier and very gayer times we had. So yeah bye then... ah, hell life is short and stumpy already so Please Come Back To Me Judas! Lift The Block! LIFT THE BLOCK!!!
