My Heart Bleeds No Longer

I was fortunate enough to see this band a handful of times back in ’00 – ’02 before the Ozzfest plague swept up them, and all the other semi-metal influenced hardcore bands for the worldwide tours.  (Modern) Hardcore fully died once this happened.  Unearth was one of my favorites- as each new album approached, you knew what you were going to get.  The same production, sound quality, NO VOCAL CHANGES, and an extremely consistent art direction.
I don’t care about As I Lay Dying, nor do I care about August Burns Red or whatever… I like breakdowns and riffs that make me want to murder my family and start yet another mass genocide; not bands that make me want to write poetry to my current pierced/tatted ‘suicide girls’-esque GF and then splatter some blood on it just for sentiment.

Live Undead LP

This rain is seriously destroying my bank account; I have nothing to do- so I buy records.  Yay.  The upside, is that I found this limited picture disc of Slayers Live Undead album.  It’s ridiculous.  I almost jumped out my window while listening to it.  I decided not to though.  I then proceeded to break every single object in my household- my roommates will not be happy…

I think in an attempt to make them happy- and forget about the destroyed house, I’m going to get this printed and framed to put above our fireplace.  I don’t think either of them appreciate Saved By the Bell- nor do they Slayer…But I’m pretty sure even my dad would laugh at this- and he doesn’t even know who Slater is.  Rain rain go away I can’t listen to Slayer anymore today (or I will take over my entire neighborhood wearing WWII gear and will equip myself with a bayonet just for added fun).

ATTACK OF THE CLONES!!!

The photo below is a prime example of why I’m no longer a huge fan of current skateboard photography, or me personally shooting skateboarding.
I remember this day quite vividly (surprisingly)- I looked over and saw four (4) photographers in the deep end during an ok session I guess, and I just died laughing.  There were no pros, no big tricks, no scenery, lots of pads, and it was at a skatepark- not ideal shooting conditions in my personal opinion.  Scotts wife, Shae shot this photo of me standing next to the skate paparazzi.  I don’t even think I brought my equipment with me anymore after this day…
