TROPHY CASE

ELI5: Random super long arm hair by MadmanPoetin explainlikeimfive

[–]ZZ_Bay 0 points1 point ago

I'm fair-haired, so you can't see the hair on my fingers unless you look real close. I periodically get a jet-black hair about half an inch long, straight-up, on one knuckle overnight though. I'm curious about this one too.

Intense live performance: Neurosis - Locust Star by lvl29warriorin Metal

[–]ZZ_Bay 0 points1 point ago

Only thing to complain about is that Steve Von Till's mic wasn't working.

Sprint All-Star Race. [Race Thread] by Skilliamin NASCAR

[–]ZZ_Bay 4 points5 points ago

Junior the showdown, though Dinger cold be dangerous after the caution. Hamlin the main event.

Fantasy worst album by Hraesvelg7in Metal

[–]ZZ_Bay 6 points7 points ago

Not the worst I can think of but still preposterous:

  • Motorhead live tribute album
  • Vocals by James LaBrie
  • All instrumentals by Skrillex's laptop

Baroness-Take my Bones Away (NEW) by mrdrsmashington123in Metal

"special", then

Unique is relative; there's no such thing as entirely unique. I like Mastodon better than Baroness, because I think they write better songs, but Baroness did a better job of writing immersive, cohesive albums the first couple of times around. The jury's still out on whether I still think that to be true...

I almost want to say this sounds too polished, but that's not even the problem. It just sounds too much like generic and predictable hard rock. I'm not going to say "sellout" until I hear the whole album, but this is pretty disappointing to someone who absolutely loved the band's unique sound on the first two LPs.

Who do you want starting at RB this season? by eatreadsleepin Redskins

[–]ZZ_Bay 1 point2 points ago

I'd like to see Helu get the plurality of carries, but the Skins can afford to spread it around. No workhorse on this roster, though that's not necessarily a bad thing. You gotta wonder if somebody like Clinton Portis could have had a more explosive career with the Skins if he hadn't been a total workhorse for a few seasons (I say probably not; the system wasn't great for him).

Bands who take long breaks between albums by Draconiondevilin Metal

Neurosis has always taken a few years between albums, with 5 now since Given to the Rising.

What are your parents thoughts on you listening to metal? by dancinghostin Metal

[–]ZZ_Bay 2 points3 points ago

My mom picked up my ipod a couple times and listened to my most recently played song. First time it was a song by Opeth and the second time it was Electric Wizard's "Dopethrone". For years she has literally thought that I worshipped the devil. When I went to my first metal show, my folks saw mostly dudes outside the place when they picked me up and were convinced that I had gone to see a show at a gay bar.

tl;dr My parents are erroneously convinced that I am a gay satanist for the music I listen to.

Name a genre that you don't like and people reply with something that might change your mind - the metal version. by popctrlin Metal

Adding a 2nd guitarist was an excellent call for them

OP: Chaos of Forms by Revocation. Not pure thrash but a really fun listen if you haven't heard it.

Jeff Gordon fan here who is shocked by his performance so far in 2012. Who is the biggest surprise of 2012 for you? (positive or negative) by hendrickfan24in NASCAR

[–]ZZ_Bay 1 point2 points ago

Kyle Busch being a nonfactor is definitely a surprise. He usually waits until the chase to disappear. Also, the fact that Junior has continued to run so consistently well without actually contending for a win is rather puzzling. MWR of course is a pleasant surprise.

Have you ever wanted to ask Opeth a question? Now is your chance! by Brootaliskin Metal

[–]ZZ_Bay 1 point2 points ago

Ask if he is familiar with Akerstache

Akerstache - "The Devil's Orchard (God is Dead, Baybuh)" Awesome Opeth parody by ZZ_Bayin Metal

[–]ZZ_Bay[S] 0 points1 point ago

Yeah, that's how I found this gem, searching for Storm Corrosion

Baroness To Release New Album ‘Yellow & Green’ in July by ZZ_Bayin Metal

[–]ZZ_Bay[S] 1 point2 points ago

That's terrific. It's been a while since they dropped the Blue Record so I was worried they'd prematurely run out of ideas or something. A double album puts that fear to rest.

How on Earth can Roush Fenway fail to get sponsorship for one of the more marketable young stars in NASCAR, let alone one 4th in the Nationwide Series? by ZZ_Bayin NASCAR

[–]ZZ_Bay[S] 2 points3 points ago

This is even more ridiculous. Roush is clearly doing something wrong; he can't blame the economy here.

Are there any Kevin Harvick fans out there?! :D by -Zillain NASCAR

[–]ZZ_Bay 0 points1 point ago

Favorite win: His last lap bump-and-run to beat Jimmie Johnson on the last lap at Auto Club last year. I hate Mr. Golden Horseshoe.
