I never got it.
But I’m pretty sure it ruined us all.
Satan’s Satyrs - The Black Casket (Live @ Roadburn, April 19th, 2013) (by Mathias Nielsen)
Just saw these guys. For free. With $1 Tacos. Columbus is the most awesome place I could live.
Since I’ve moved to Columbus, Bob’s beard has gotten longer and his band has gotten faster. Both good things.
Or as I like to say, “Why record new songs when you can keep on recording the old ones?”.
Yeah, I had to get off the Manowar train when I started heckling the press releases.
It was one line in one press release that was the straw that broke the camel’s back. After waiting years for this supposed masterpiece the band was supposedly working on, they announced theyd scrapped it entirely.
That would set the release of the album (that we’d already waited years for) behind schedule but it was “for the betterment of the fans”.
…….
Surely they meant to say it would BENEFIT the fans? But no, they said they were withholding music from me to make me a better person!
Thanks Manowar!
As a working proofreader at the time as well as a long-time fan and somewhat disgruntled x-employee… this phrase made me INSANE.
That was it. I couldn’t excuse any stupid thing they ever did ever again.
I had to move on.
But just for the record it turns out the same lines I most often used to heckle them with still work today.
“Why make new music when you can keep recording old ones” goes back to the mid 90’s.
Creaming Jesus ~ “Reptile” (by GitanDemon)
Okay so heres some goth band I’m very loosely connected to that I arrived at because once upon a time ago I used to date a guy who before me impregnated a girl who was dating one of the guitar players of this band.
Or something like that.
We were all in the same circles but I was much too busy being a Thrasher to listen to Goth music.
My friend, or former boyfriend, or I dont know what you call him.. I always went for “soul mate” because we were instantaneously attached at the hip the second we met despite all the raging controversies in our lives.
We were an oasis away from all that for each other.
I had my own problems at the time which were not as complicated but at least equally as difficult.
We remained friends always.
He’s been looking for his kid, which made me look for people I know knew her. Facebook showed me that he’d thought of this connection already.
It also told me that this song was on an episode of Buffy and made the band ‘famous’ for a minute.
That’s neat.
It has almost nothing to do with me at all, but i was just checking it out on youtube so I thought I’d stick it on my tumblr.
I never got it.
But I’m pretty sure it ruined us all.
