Waterloo is a pretty cool tune.

Silver medal behind DQ.

If pressed, I would probably admit to "Dancing Queen" by ABBA being my favourite song of all time.

The definition of insanity, ladies and gentlemen.

You need to hear the Blind Melon Chitlin cover.

I like S.O.S. The best. Dancing Queen is great, but I heard it too many times at bars in college.

Glen Matlock stole a small segment of S.O.S. for Pretty Vacant and if you listen intently you can suss the part he stole. So I'm with JB for S.O.S.

I'm just as stunned as Heston would be to learn I have no Pantera albums on my iTunes. I thought I had at least 2.

Dimebag, indeed.

Not on iTunes, but there. In your fucking heart.

Wolter has a heart?

No.

No.

As big as Greenwich Village.

From David Konow's Bang Your Head: The Rise and Fall of Heavy Metal, on W.A.S.P.'s stage show: "The band also threw raw meat into the audience; eventually fans brought their own meat to the shows to throw back at the band. One night Holmes was knocked unconscious by a flying rump roast."

I know what I'm doing for the next Morrissey show.

Just read another good anecdote. During a Dokken show, George Lynch rips his spandex in the crotch doing the splits. He hid his danglies behind his guitar, but it was a really long song, so while he's playing a roadie duct taped the crotch of his pants together. Another Dokken story had the the singer throwing his mike up in the air, losing it in the lights, and when it came down it knocked off his wig. Total Spinal Tap stuff.

Will throwing a bag of Quorn at Morrissey have the same effect.

This is hilarious stuff. Unfortunately, I have such a powerful aversion to the mere mention of these bands due to the Great Split of 1986, when all of the fellow punks at my high school decided to become metal heads. I still haven't quite recovered.

Stay true JB, stay true.
