Soothing Soul Suckers

Love ya Vic.

R.I.P.

Get your guns.

This disc is surprisingly important to me.

The friend who I attended Neil’s gig at the Music Hall in Cleveland back in ‘92 is sick. It’s kind of like Neil timed some positive thoughts to come out when this shit went down.

Finally picked up the 2 CD version of Manowar’s “Thunder In the Sky E.P.”

I’m really stoked to hear the upcoming album this E.P previews. “Thunder In the Sky” is much stronger than the majority of “Gods of War”. Which is probably my least favorite Manowar album. The material closely resembles the “Warriors of the World” album which means it’s pretty bad ass. “Thunder” has a sweet ballad–”Father”– and some straightforward Manowar rockers. A live “Crown and the Ring” with a choir is the only old track. It’s a killer version. The second disc has Eric Adams proving to everyone that he fluently speaks every language known to man by taking on something like 17 versions of the song “Father”.

Totally sweet!

Hail Brothers of Metal! Wimps and Poseurs Leave the Hall! Death to False Metal!

Kind of an up and down week for me so I’ve been a bit distracted. Mounting the steed to Bozeman and riding with my sword in the wind in a few hours. Like last week not sure what’s going down this week. We might be tapping into my man Dave’s stellar collection of tunes for the first couple hours or I’ll be doing the slaying on my own.

Some things on tap:

New Krallice
Latest Manowar E.P.
Vault Dweller
Maiden

Spent the day outside cleaning up my workshop and listening to tapes on a beater boom box. Some old shows of mine from 2004, Pharoah Sanders and Ras Michael. Good stuff to jam while sweeping and organizing.

Here’s a pic of the shop from a few years ago.

It’s my version of a man cave. A great place to swill whiskey and pass out on the floor listening to Neil Young and Crazy Horse.

Fuck all the Eagles as a matter of fact (except you Joe).

I had some driving to do the other day and I was pummeled by shitty Eags songs all day. Fucking Hotel California, Take It To The Limit, Wit-chay Woman, Life In The Fast Lane. Fuck all that shit. Die motherfuckers (except you Joe).
