    The Greatest Metal Song Cup - Part II, Round 2, Matches 16-21

    Scorpions'll tell ya, nice boys don't survive in the zoo. Looks like chainsaw Charlie broke out into a cold sweat around Thin Lizzy. Law > philosophy, sorry nerds. Anthrax wins that one easy. The tyrant isn't brought back to life by Evanescence. Godzilla's gonna need more than 9 votes if you're...

    JUDAS PRIEST ALBUM RANKING GAME: #14 REVEALED

    I completely agree with @mckindog, who has absolutely hit the nail on the head there. Blood Red Skies rocks, and everything else is up and down. Turbo, for all the people who complain about it, felt far more honest than this album. Turbo was Judas Priest with synths. This is Priest pretending to...

    Russia invades Ukraine

    This is true that the Chechen Emirate originally fought against ISIS in the early 2010s, but it is also true that prominent Chechen Muslim leaders defected to ISIS starting around 2014. See: https://www.rferl.org/a/islamic-state-north-caucasus-insurgency-commanders-allegiance/26773615.html...

    The Greatest Metal Song Cup - Part II, Round 2, Matches 16-21

    Poor Angel Witch. It seems Megadeth has left them angry, again. We have a tie between killing one's self and coming back to life, how fascinating. Rush has hit the lights before playing their epic. KISS and Helloween are apparently tied up loving you by the midnight sun. Would? Alice in Chains...

    Russia invades Ukraine

    Why would the Americans and UK and other Five Eyes powers cover up a Russian false flag attack? Why would ISIS take credit for the attack? If it was a false flag, would not the media strategy already be planned? Instead, the Russians seem to be reacting far more loosely than I would expect if...

    The Future Past Tour 2024

    Excited to see The Hu. Not concerned about ticket sales. Lots of young people in Calgary last year, and Calgary is a country & western town.

    Russia invades Ukraine

    ISIS and Russia are fighting aggressively in Syria and Africa, and have been for a long time. And again, ISIS inherited the remnants of the Chechen resistance that Russia mostly crushed in the 1990s and early 00s. We don't think about it because "Russia bad, ISIS bad, therefore they are on the...

    Russia invades Ukraine

    I am aware of the conspiracy theories around the 1999 apartment bombings. Those occurred while Putin was already prime minister, and there's a lot of people who think it was Chechens, and a lot of people who think it wasn't. I was specifically discounting those when I asked what he was on about...

    Russia invades Ukraine

    Yes, I read the coverage on that. It's both semantic and not, since it is illegal in Russia to call it a war, but everyone knows it is a war. I don't know how much further the Russians can go without lobbing nukes.

    Russia invades Ukraine

    I am not being naive, I am saying that there's multiple possibilities for this sort of attack. It could be a false flag, it could be Ukrainians, it could be a regional separatist group, Navalny loyalists (although this is unlikely), Wagner remnants, or a handful of Russian vets who want revenge...

    Russia invades Ukraine

    I would be hesitant to assign this to any one specific party at any point to begin with. I don't believe Putin needs a false flag attack to intensify his war efforts. He's had no problem coercing control so far, and no rallying points have been needed. I also don't necessarily think this is a...

    The Greatest Metal Song Cup - Part II, Round 2, Matches 16-21

    I also get paranoid when I fight fire with fire. Black Sabbath. Exodus should have known no deliveries are gonna get anywhere if you don't have the keys. Any of them. Helloween wins in a cakewalk. The daughter of the sun can count Helloween's tears though. Dio knows that all the fools sailed...

    The Greatest Metal Song Cup - Part II, Round 2, Matches 16-21

    Dream Theater easily breaks In Flames's moonshield, uh, whatever that is. Annihilator's fun palace proves to be the undoing of Accept. Motörhead had an ace up their sleeve against Deep Purple. This time, Accept gets the win, fast as a shark. You're a vvretched sinner, Judas Priest says. And...

    Hey friends, gonna try to get an update in today. Work took a weird swerve on Thursday and I ended up bailing on everything for the weekend. There are no tiebreakers in this round, that's why there's a ties column.
