Ready for MTV to come over

I am ready for my Cribs episode to be taped since every time I remember flipping past it, they always show what is in the fridge.
Good thing they drank most everything that was inside or else I would not have anywhere to put food if no one was thirsty.

The Day that Never Comes

So far, I have listened to four - 10 seconds of snipets of the new Metallica album. The parts they have been playing have sounded pretty good, but you could pick 10 seconds out of almost any song and it would sound good. Hence the reason, iTunes only lets you get 30 seconds.

Well, today they released one song online to listen to. If you have windows media player, check it out. It is called The Day that Never Comes. It is alright. It reminds me a little of a couple songs from ...And Justice for All. There are multiple riffs going on which is more like the old stuff. The drums sound as if they are playing the same song which is nice compared to St Anger.

If you go the Myspace page, you can listen to a live version of a song called Cyanide. I listened to it, and do not worry they do not cuss so kids can listen and become fans. Then eventually I will be taking Neil, James and maybe even Sammy to see Met play. Of course, by then it will only cost $400 for four tickets and I would would need to take an advance on my salary.

Could be a good year for Rock fans

Not only is Metallica coming out with a new album this year (9/12), but it was also reported that Alice in Chains will be coming out with a new record before the year is over.
Somehow, I feel more confident that Alice's album will be the better of the two. Maybe Met can prove me wrong for the first time in since 1992.
That also means Alice will probably be on tour again this year. I hope it will be a small venue type place again. And I know Dave will be going again if it can fall on a weekend. I would like it to be in Milwaukee again because I think I could get their autographs there compared to Chicago.

Most responses ever

The happy birthday post brought back the most responses ever in the history of the story of the importer/exporter.

And to celebrate this feat, here is the song which will make everyone sing.

Happy Birthday Little Sister

Today is Karen's birthday. Today she is............... 29 years old. On behalf of all the guys, we got you this.

It's a sweater.

Sorry, Just saw 3 Amigos.

Here's a riddle.......

What do you get when you add Led Zeppelin





Plus, Pink Floyd





Plus, Pearl Jam?





Answer is:




I just got this new poster and deciding if I should try to use it to trade for another poster. There are a couple I like that have nothing to do with music. I traded for this poster for my Hartford show poster. So I got one that is worth $70 for one that cost me only $25. Not bad.

It is about time for a new album and hopefully this one will not suck.
And for all those wondering, we get to hear the third chapter of the Unforgiven. Why can't there be a third version of Master or Sanitarium. Just a thought.

The release is going to coincide with the release of an all Metallica Guitar Hero. So there you go John.
