    Just flipped through to the songs I knew well offhand - definitely solid covers besides Malpractice - but I'm touchy about FNM covers. Will have to search Spotify later to see if the album is up there. Flipping backwards to Ministry BTW since you brought covers to mind - Ministry &...

    That actually is pretty much how they did the movie. There was one real connecting thread between everything, but each "scene" could really have been it's own episode if it was done as a TV show format.

    I actually listened to both - <3 having an eclectic circle of friends. (Besides CoC at least, wasn't familiar with them) Counting Crows/Tori Amos tier all the way up through Slayer/Pantera tier (or Ministry/KMFDM tier going industrial direction) was on my list back in the day.

    Well, I won't speak to vibrancy (I'm R/G colorblind - so I'm useless in such discussions besides contrast) - but one thing to consider, is that the S8+ fucking sips it's battery. I use my phone constantly during my work for all sorts of functions to basically be a mobile office tool for me, my...

    rearviewmirror? State of Love and Trust? Do the Evolution? Spin the Black Circle? Last Kiss? Daughter? Go? Ten was an amazing album (I'd actually debate that Vs. > Ten personally though but it's splitting hairs), but the first three albums are like 80-90% perfect songs. It's not till No Code...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Endgame of the series will be Varys vs. Littlefinger in some way or I'll be terribly disappointed. Two best characters in the show. (Tirion in the mix too, but he's so much more overt than the other two)

    I've heard something along the lines of what Szilia said previously - any money he earned was gravy, it was already in the black (or damn near it) without even one ticket sold with how he leveraged advertising and such for it.

    Indeed - hell, driving today I realized that I didn't even think to mention Cake when it comes to activist bands. Look at the Facebook page that Cake runs sometime if you want to see how crazy political a band can be, Jesus. (And again, I love some Cake - but their political zealotry is annoying)

    Yea, I do that when I listen at home at the rare times I do - I'm not doing an unlimited plan and mostly use Spotify in the car so 95% of the time I use Spotify it's Offline mode.

    0 to my knowledge. Can only recall one person I ever even knew from Michigan - and been out of touch with him for years. And he was just an EQ friend anyhow.

    Eddie is insanely so solo (here's near Pussy Riot level - maybe past them even, hard to say - both are towards the top of the spectrum), PJ together is no more so than I've seen any other concert be... but then again one of my earliest music videos I fell in love with was Land of Confusion...

    Ministry really isn't edgelord anti-church/anti-god particularly. It's more a message of freedom of doing whatever the fuck you want and not having douchebags restrict what you can do. (and dangers of addiction) Musically he's the one person I'd put solidly into the Libertarian camp with his...

    Not the direction I networked (or dumb lucked into with in-laws in the case of national political level) myself, had no benefit to my work. Just like these days with my current work I'm networking a ton with aerospace folks.

    No more than any other fan - only met one musician in all my years - and that was just bumping into them and stammering like an idiot that I knew them and walking off. (well, REAL musicians)

    Not seen those, will have to keep an eye out - never had a dipped cashew, but I love both components - definitely curious if I'd appreciate them together.

    Still PJ for me, with a preference for pre-Y2K for the mostpart. (although some of Eddie's more recent covers are amazing - but recent albums are like 1-3 good songs each to me vs solid gold for rearviewmirror, Ten, and other early ones I'm blanking on names currently) I appreciate Ministry...

    Is there any actual industrial PM5k? Even that Fear Factory abortion that keg linked wasn't really industrial, was more death metal unless it changes pretty far in. White Zombie was definitely industrial for most of their stuff, but I can't recall any PM5k that was. I never listened to them too...

    Making non-fixed income around $60k these days with commission, thank you very much. And attacking Bush is a little different than most of his other stuff, and you'll note post-Bushleaguer that sort of stuff isn't common at PJ concerts. Crying about him being mean to Bush and Trump is fucking...

    First of all, that was Eddie doing solo work, not PJ - he's prone to make little statements here and there, but the commentary is far less while with Stone and the rest. And even then, in there he's stating his own feelings, not saying people would be wrong to feel otherwise. And I'd be curious...

    Not sure you know him at all well if you believe that. He expresses a ton of opinions, but he's remarkably humble for what he's accomplished.

    Shrug - perhaps it's an indication of how little I watched movies in the theater before I returned to work, but with it, Rogue One, and the MCU movies I've seen in theater since I've started going back to the movies consistently, I'd consider in the top end of them. Re: "Opposite Ends": With...

    A million different species isn't Andromeda. Kool-Aid Man scene busting through walls that is reminiscent of ME2. Sarcasm and romance tossed in pretty willy-nilly. And "crammed with rap music", WTF? Was there even a single rap song? Opening was David fucking Bowie for Christ's sake. Even...

    Weirdest thing with Chester too is he seemed to be amused and enjoying himself just a couple weeks ago during a guest hosting thing on Good Mythical Morning. I'm pretty wide with the range of music I like too so Linkin Park fit in for some of their stuff (especially not shocking since Faith No...

    Unsure of that part. It's more "mainstream" than Fifth was by a bit IMO. Stuff is out there and weird a bit, but not as overtly as Fifth was.

    While I wouldn't say it was ass - it definitely downgraded the awesomeness that is their new chicken sandwich. I'd rather just get the plain Jane BK Chicken these days rather than the Chicken Parm - kinda funny since for the old I loved the Chicken Parm and hated the regular though. Oh how a...
