Yes, you might want to include some Hamas-related violence as well. I already clearly acknowledged the skirmishes that are still happening. I’m talking about sticking to the cease fire framework at the macro level — that doesn’t appear to be collapsing despite these other outbreaks of violence.

Despite some skirmishes here and there, the Gaza cease fire is generally still holding, and almost all of the outstanding hostage remains have been returned. Pretty remarkable, and I have to give Trump credit for pulling it off. Ironically, if it weren’t for his corrupt and self-serving...

Alice In Chains filtered through Adrian’s melodic sensibilities. Great album. Definitely the best solo album by a Maiden member since The Chemical Wedding!

https://blabbermouth.net/news/black-swan-featuring-jeff-pilson-robin-mcauley-reb-beach-and-matt-starr-announces-third-album-paralyzed The third Black Swan album is called Paralyzed, and will be released on February 13, 2026. Second single: Album cover:

Isn’t one of the main points of these games to expose people to music they may have missed, and to have people at least sample the unknown albums before voting…? Otherwise this is just an empty familiarity contest.

Don’t sleep on Ball Noir’s Lost Serenades — it’s really well-crafted growl-free folk metal with a melancholy feel. Hurdy-gurdy, harp, and bass clarinet alongside the guitars! Great stuff. Full album linked above, but here’s a taste:

Fair enough, you’re correct on these points. You’re wildly off-base on the rest, but what else is new. Please do.

As a semantic point, one’s nationality and one’s race are completely independent factors, so “racism” is absolutely the wrong word to be using here. Not that I’m surprised that Vaenyr’s plowing ahead and using it anyway — y’know, ingrained muscle memory from overuse and all.

Been there, done that:

In the United States? No way in hell. This is a terrible argument, even by your own low standards. How about “because they’ll lose everywhere except the most left-leaning fringes of the country”…?

I think Dystopia is overrated. It’s got nice guitar work, but I don’t think the songwriting has held up over the years. And don’t get me started on the lyrics. For All Kings is certainly a huge step up for Anthrax, but I was never a fan of the band, so that’s not a very high bar to clear...

Sure, if you conveniently ignore the moderate Democrat wins in NJ and VA for the governorship. I guarantee you that a hard left swing on those candidates would have led to much closer races, if not outright losses. More moderates than socialists won yesterday, but I’m not surprised that you’re...

Alice In Chains.

Well, OTGDY was featured on Miami Vice once…

Nosebleeds in L.A. are apparently $67+tax, while nosebleeds in MN were $125+tax. WTF?

Arenas are still a pretty hefty rake. I don’t see “only” playing arenas as a barrier to touring. Different story altogether if they could only sell out large theaters or something…

IMFC codes were supposedly unique and let you in on Tuesday. Live Nation and Ticketmaster codes were not unique and let you in on Wednesday. Venue codes are only unique by venue and let you in on Thursday. General on-sale is Friday.

Everyone not voting for Sweet & Lynch has not heard Only To Rise. Listen to it, plebes! [/ISPOILER]

$195+tax per ticket for center section, second tier, halfway back, uncovered seats in an outdoor amphitheater. Ridiculous. This will almost certainly be the last Maiden show I attend. I only talked myself into these tickets because of the setlist, Megadeth as the opener, and my stepsons were...

Finally got an email from Ticketmaster confirming this one is real for Wednesday @ 10am CDT.
