LOL, that's trespassing on his part.

The commercial Christmas season/thing just isn't me....very uncomfortable with it all. I do my best to marginally participate to keep Mrs. AG. Christmas has always been a big event for her family.
I do better with getting off the grid and tinkering around/breaking things, lifting ,etc.....and scouring for new tunes, of course.

**Proximal** · 12-21-2018, 07:46 PM

Well, cant say I’m ‘happy” but my wife’s folks are passed, so no longer have to partake there. My family is back in Chicago, my folks aren’t dead, but I’m not visiting. Staying home with the wife & chilling. Gotcha.

Now that is one hell of a good suggestion, TY!

Man, AG got me into Alien Weaponry. First newer band I’ve dug in a while.

Nice to post with you again. You’re married with kids, right? Is all well?

Yup married 20 years two kids pretty grown. Alien Weaponry are very interesting. Young kids too and they’re here in the US for the first time (from New Zealand I believe) doing a tour right now. They came through a few weeks ago and I missed them. Would have loved to see them.

Awesome bro!

For my workout that I just finished, I welcomed in the birth of Christ with a little SOD - Stormtroopers of Death.

Merry Christmas metal heads!

Awesome gift, cool kids.

After hearing Volbeat on Sirius radio, they have grown on me. A long time ago I recall you mentioning “seal the deal”, got to be a personal favorite of mine.

2 documentaries I have on my DVR: “Godfathers of Hardcore” about Agnostic Front. And sorry to lazy to check the name, another about the Korn guitarist that took time off to raise his kid.

Korn for me yesterday - Mary had a little lamb whose fleece was white as snow . . . .

“Head” Brian Welch. Amazing story. Seem Korn countless times and, as good as they are, I’ve always thought they’re underrated. They’re truly an amazing and epic band and they NEVER disappoint live.

Volbeat has a Metallica/Johnny Cash vibe. Very interesting sound and great guitar licks

I remember when Ryan Martinie of MudVayne stood in for Fieldy during a tour when Fieldy was at home with his wife having another kid. It was hilarious how much his stage presence clashed with Korn’s overall vibe.

Other than Jonathan, the guys tend to not move much. Ryan on the other hand, is buttfuck insane on stage. Looked like a rabid chihuahua jumping around amongst statues.

Just watched it last night, he’ll yeah.

Johnny Cash & Metallica, nice equation. Agree about the guitar licks.

Yesterday was a light day for me so I kept it easy. Have been finding some Type O Negative relaxing.

Sick musically, energy & stage presence. But dammit, I just can't get into that vocal style. That's why I keep going back to Pantera & Slipknot. This old dog can't learn that trick.

Throwing down to some LoG for accessory work this morning. I haven’t listened to them much since Ashes of the Wake, but I really need to get back into my hometown boys. They were my first metal show in 2001, after all.

Started off with older Van Halen. Peaked with A.N.I.M.A.L. & did cardio to Type O Negative.

Happy New Years!

Hope the ink looks killer!

In honor of you, started my workout with Slayer. Then stayed with the S’s. Superjoint Ritual, Skindred & Saliva.

I like it! Man it came out great. 4 hours on top of 5 hours a couple weeks ago on my leg. Still need to finish it up then start on my arm

I'm overdue. Saving back parts of my severance pay now. Really want to use the foreground of this for ribs and my fat belly.

Huge fan of Dore's work. Most of my back piece is robbed from the Lucifer image of my avi and then skells and reverse flames the rest of my way down.

That’s one hell of an image. Some delicate shading definitely needed. I’m a black & grey man myself.

I’m going to fill some gaps on my arms. I really want one on my neck, but the wife isn’t to keen on that idea.

I’m still holding back on getting the custom piece my girlfriend drew for me last Christmas put to skin. She even went so far as to photograph my chest so she could design it around my clavicles.

I also need to get a frame for it, because it’s the most beautiful goddamned thing I’ve ever seen done with just a pencil. The fact that it’s based on imagery from my favorite band for decades helps.

**Gallowmere** · 01-06-2019, 05:07 AM

Been all over these guys since 2008’s Decimate the Weak. Glad to see their last album did a lot to recapture the feeling of The Great Stone War album.

Nice, particularly for me, because I can actually hear & understand words to go along with the bad ass music.

Congrats on the pump.

/> I had to let him play a little bit just once tonight

Enjoying the fuck out of the two preorder tracks from the new Swallow the Sun album. Definitely interested to see how they flow into my squat day doom playlist.

I share the same problem after working out at night, so keep my workouts earlier. My wife is really digging some CBD mixture for sleeping, seems to help her quite a bit.

yea, i think i only got about 4-5hrs last night but im not complaining
either way, i posted this because of some anger issues and sometimes you cant just hold it inside

Yes just started following them as a matter of fact. Haven’t quite dove into them yet but their jams are pretty face melting. Looks like they’ve only got the four out right now. Definitely want
to hear more

Wish Whitechapel would go ahead and release their new album.

Man, you young guys with your crazy new music.

I’m going in reverse, been digging Turbo on Sirius & reacquainting myself with older stuff. This week Mudvayne really has been grabbing me.
