Metal Reviews

Just making an MR-centric post here for once, but it's a bit of a shame to come back here time and again and see how people's personalities change. The people from here that I'd like to meet up with offline one day for a beer have changed from a couple of years ago - fine, it'd be quicker to make a list of the people I'd point-blank refuse to meet. I'd love to call a MetalReviewsCon and have a paella-cooking contest with Ganesha whilst DevotedWalnut blasts the rare Thrash, Rio and Dead Machine talk politics in the background and Dago and Crast pick the beers and Karmakosmonaut distracts any passing females with his bare chest, it'd be a blast! Yet some of you just fill me with complete and utter... nothingness. A lot of the Americans now seem interchangable, especially some of the newer, younger ones, who I have trouble telling apart, yet the likes of Raven and Adam and Seinfeld are goddamn gentlemen and I would be happy to buy them a drink where elsewhere I'd wait for another to take the first round.

I'm genuinely interested to meet some of you. I think Valefor/banshee would be great to hang out with, for instance, and whilst obv. I'm more likely to meet some of the Brits than anyone else, I'd still love to go and hang out in some bogan bar with embraced and followthereaper, or have lunch in a bookstore with Brahm and that violent little serbian nutter who used to post here, and then we could intervene when a gang of skinheads try to steal Brahm's shit. Looking through Stefan's records and laughing at his Johnny Halliday obsession, running from hordes of mad Welsh bastards with Mintrude, ditto ditto Scotch ditto ditto Radagast, it'd all be great. What a fine bunch of human beings we are. I salute you all, and if I haven't mentioned you don't be cross 'cause it just means we need to talk more.

Except AngelRipper16. Nah, just kidding.

I'd prefer to cook guacamole... it's easier and I do it better than paella. (And you forgot the mexicans : The Voice and Alexander)

Hm, not quite as big on avocado as I am paella... the last is a vital part of my childhood, having a big-cookout with our Spanish chums, octopus tentacles and squid and everything in this beautiful country with all the fantastic people. Of course, I'm probably looking through rose-tinted glasses and they were all drug-dealing assholes, but I did love living in Spain.

As for the Mehicko crew, I think of The Voice and Alexander as being like the badass locals in From Dusk Til Dawn or something. But yeah, fighting off hordes of vampires with them, too, seem like great guys.

@Stefan: this is kinda what I mean by this thread. I'm not sure why, but ever since I became a writer here it's like you've been less friendly. You seem to want to start shit all the time on the forum now, knowing that Adam or me will get drawn into it, and whilst I know that the assorted forumites don't always have love for Papa G to the Z, surely you get the joke about JH? A chuckle suits that situation and the spirit of meaning better than a WTF pic. It just seems like OH ZAD YOU FORUM NAZI yet again. *sigh*

Thx Ganesha (I'd go with the guacamole too) but it's obvious he's only counting euros (besides Adam and Seinfeld) for his imaginary party...
and don't forget Daniel, he was a cool guy too.
You're invited to Mexico anytime you want, maybe we can go to Cancún (The voice lives there) and bang some gringas teen sluts.

...and Brahm, and Devoted, and Raven, and valefor, and Dead Machine.

Aw, Alex, the non-Euros got plenty of love. Don't go hating on my white ass, I don't want El Padre de Los Satanicos to do wrong things to me because I'm not giving props to the bangers.

Haha that would be awesome.

You silly racist goat

Hm? What, "bangers" is racist now, when "gringas" isn't? What have I done wrong, here?

You're not what you used to be either Zaddy. You used to be kind of a misfit and, now, you're... the law. See what I mean?
That doesn't mean I love you any less just that now I wanna love you.... brutally.

Raven is 40.

When you said "Don't go hating on my white ass" you're implying that we are brown. That's all. And gringo is not an offensive word btw, like beaner of guinea for italians. La Santísima Muerte is going to knock at your door very soon

Saying that I'm white is racist? Certainly meant it less divisively than gringo is used. It was a Brujeria reference, anyways, certainly not to be taken like that.

And Thy Serpent, hence the YET. Or it made sense when I typed it, anyways. If this thread proves anything it's that stuff like this is never worth bothering with.

Oh yeah. I re read it. Sorry, my mistake. Nice post by the way. Good to see a little personal touch at times. There isn't a day in office where I don't browse this site. I've been visiting this site since, let me think. 2000? Not very sure. But, I remember while searching for a review for Immortal's Sons Of.... I hit upon this site and have been visiting it ever since. I would agree, all posters are nice in their own way. Cheers !

Hm, prime example of why taking some rolls and posting online isn't recommended.

I love you too, Zad?

And back! There, Evil D, that's why it was worth it, and nice addition/save at the end there.

Don't doubt my late editing skills. I've many years under my belt of net ninja'ing.

Hmm... I don't know why lunch with me would lead to a skinhead gang war, but anytime you want to have one, I'm there. And I will smash a beer bottle or three over their heads.

I approve of this thread.
