Rust is Metal Cancer.

A pair of my friends like to watch Metal Mania on VH1 Classic and rate how "Metal" the videos are. This involves each video starting at a perfect 10, and points (full only) being deducted for things such as overly pretty lead singer, pianist being featured on-camera, etc. Spinal Tap videos all rate a superlative 11 by default, and having a member ( Read more... )

Why'd you guys get the boot from Barberton? I thought ejection from that dump was near impossible.

And who gargles asphalt?

Er.. Not Barberton... Brimfield. *EDIT*

Gargling Asphalt is a term a friend of mine uses for the really deep, nigh-unintelligible growling vocals that so many local bands who can't find a real singer resort to. Said friend actually LIKES the practice, though.

I guess I should explain the Brimfield boot, though, huh?

We got called at 1PM on a Saturday two years ago, asking us to play that night at a bar called Jager's. We gather everything up, show up, and get thanked a thousand times for filling in on short notice. Are handed 3 pitcher tokens and told we'll get 40% of the door.

We get up on stage, have a great set, but midway through our lead singer gets tired of everyone sitting and not moving at all, so he yells, "C'mon Brimtucky! ON YOUR FEET!"

Next thing we know, the bartender is holding the owner back by his arms and we're being told to get while the getting is good. We get stiffed on the third pitcher and our entire share of the door.

But at least it's a fun story. :D
