  1. That's stupid, Master of Puppets is the one about drugs.
  2. Sit in the sewage, I guess. I think my chances of catching some kind of awful disease would be higher if I'm eating unwashed ass for 20 minutes. With option B, at least its not getting in my mouth.
  3. Not so much "not supposed to have" and more "why in god's name would you have?"
  4. Someone who lives alone in a 2-bedroom home.
  5. SNES Final Fantasy II / IV Final Fantasy III / VI Chrono Trigger Super Metroid Mega Man X2, maybe?
  6. Going to the DMV has never been particularly bad for me.
  7. I don't know if you've noticed, but pretty much every school shooter either gets killed by the cops or else they kill themselves before the cops get to them.
  8. You could always give it another try in the new thread... >_>
  9. Drinking too much monster will give you diabetes. Drinking coffee won't do that, depending on what you put in it.
  10. If he was in Cali he wouldn't need a medical card.
  11. I know who he is. I don't know if you remember the old Comedy Central show Tough Crowd with Colin Quinn, but Jim Norton seemed to be the only one on the show who ever got any kind of laughs out of the audience.
  12. I don't think he's 62 yet, but I like how he's wearing his underwear above his navel like he is past 60.
  13. Yeah, I guess. I'm just surprised you're not going into retirement age with this description.
  14. Why 30? That doesn't seem like an age that would factor into being more unattractive, lol.
  15. D'oh! Thank you. Do you use any other social media besides UEMB? We don't really have anything besides facebook, but it wouldn't hurt for us to look for other avenues. I know one of my band members is on instagram.
  16. Will do. But it will probably be quite a while before we leave California. We literally just booked our first gig tonight. The date is June 23, but it's in Cali. If you follow us on facebook, you should be kept abreast of anytime we play in the Dallas area (or anywhere, really): https://www.facebook.com/badcannon
  17. I kind of do (but really don't) want to see what you mean by "isn't."
  18. You are definitely right in that it depends on the song, I don't know how much it depends on the band though. For my doom metal, I tune to C Standard, but by no means are all our songs in the key of C, riding the open low string. I use that tuning because C is as low as I want to go (I've tried B, and I thought it sounded awful), and I can still play in higher keys if I wish, just playing in different positions rather than the open position. I do this because different riffs and different songs sound better in different keys. In some songs, C might sound best, in other songs, E flat might sound best. Etc. One thing I've noticed about me personally though, is I tend to prefer faster metal in higher tunings, such as Standard E (Again, it's really the key rather than the tuning, but no one's going to play thrash metal or power metal in the key of E if they're not tuned to E). I have not found one single key that I prefer for doom metal though. I use a pretty wide range of keys myself. As for the song you posted, the breakdown was my favorite part. >_>
  19. I listened to like 30 seconds of it. I have an opinion about metal guitar playing that I don't know that many will share... Slow, doomy shit: Downtuning is great. Faster, thrashy shit: Standard E is best. That's a huge reason I don't like much "modern" metal. They're tuning really low for the fast thrashy shit, that to me sounds like it should be in Standard E. The lower tunings just don't have the same "punch" with this kind of music, in my opinion. So many people who play or listen to metal automatically associate lower tunings with being heavier, but I don't necessarily see it that way.
