bang your head on the heavy metal 10:25am 1/7/2004  

V and i were watching Old School on Cinemax the other night. We saw it in the theater and thought it was hilarious, but the humor seems dimmed after seeing it on cable a few times. Anyhow, during the pledge kidnapping scene they play Metallica's "Master of Puppets", a tape i used to listen to a bunch in high school. After the movie ended, i sauntered over to the computer and commenced to retrieve a bunch of headbanging stuff from my formative years. Like the aforementioned Metallica album as well as Kill 'Em All, Ride The Lightning, and ... And Justice For All, Megadeth's Peace Sells ... But Who's Buying? and Rust In Peace, and Anthrax's Among The Living and Persistence Of Time. In addition, i finally got around to checking out Slayer (albeit 12 years late), picking up Reign In Blood, South Of Heaven, and Seasons In The Abyss.

Listening to Anthrax's "In My World" reminded me how in high school i printed out a big banner that i hung on my ceiling, bearing the opening quote:

They're gonna put me in jail?
Man, I'm already in jail.
Don't they know that my life's just one big cell?

I remember my mom joking with me about how horrible my life was. Looking back, it was a pretty silly thing to do. Good song though. I'm a bit paranoid about banging my head too much in my office.

It's an absolute masterpiece. I'm glad you finally got around to hearing it.

"Altar of sacrifice, curse of the damned
Confronting the evil you dread
Coalesce into one your shadow and soul
Soon you will meet the undead
ENTER TO THE REALM OF SATAN"

Amazing.

long live heavy metal!
ah, the good old days...

and didn't we all know how to play the beginning of "one" and "fade to black" at one point in our lives?
