Having 5 redfoot tortoises, planning to start a breeding colony, only to find out that 4 of them have swingin' weiners. The 5th looks like a female, but so did 2 of the males and look how that turned out. :/ We could buy them as adults, so we know for sure, but we wanted to raise them up ourselves s...

I used to have a hell of a time getting my contacts just to go on my eyeball rather than sticking to my finger. I found that the secret (at least for me) is to have just the edge of the lens touching my fingertip, with the rest perched off - as though holding a plate by the edge rather than holding ...

Getting old. As I was taking my backpack off in the gym today, as I do everyday, I somehow threw out my shoulder so I couldn't do anything aside from cardio. Somehow it's gotten worse since I got home. :shrug I still do that with my back sometimes. It happens a lot when I'm setting a plate down on ...

Holiday fuckin'? A little Thanksgiving and chill? 4th of July bangin? Swipe your nose like a credit card on Black Friday?

Was listening to the radio a little bit ago (Denver's rock station is awesome) and they mentioned that Imagine Dragon's annual acoustic show for charity was coming up. I think it would be awesome if Alter Bridge did this - based on the number of fans that go to the listening/album release parties, ...

"Sitting in my ivory tower Invincible to fall Some would say my final hour As you scale the wall" and "This alliance built on fear and rage Ends in violence if I have my way" - Very literally a description of Trump sending his minions to "scale the wall" of the Capitol ...

I don't know how I never saw this post before, but this is a rad idea. When I have more time, I'm going to sit down and really read this over, and try to do one of my own. :) I'm surprised how you found something I posted a year and a half ago. I kinda regret posting it because it shows just how ob...

It feels like Sin After Sin is sort of a sequel to / continuation from The Writing on the Wall, which was clearly a diss track on Trump. And after Silver Tongue and P&K, this is shaping up to be a very TLH-esque dark, heavy, angry, political album (even though they love to tread that line of amb...

Sin After Sin drum intro reminded me of Voodoo by Godsmack, but I can see Megadeth as well.

In this forum, you can share any songs that you closely associate with certain memories. According to research, music is the top source of media in terms of leaving an emotional impact on the brain, so it's understandable that certain songs mean something deep to you. Also, according to a local mus...

Aw man, I'm sorry to hear the band isn't working out. My shitty garage rock band (that you can hear on the TABN Community Album!) lasted for a few years and sort of burned out due to members coming and going, clashing personalities, all of that. It sucks, but I think that's just part of music and gr...

I do have to say this - my previous reactions to the songs happened as I'd listened to them individually. Each one coming out a few weeks apart, I tend to just listen once or twice and put it away so I don't wear those songs out before the album is released. Well, last night at work, I put the 3 new...

It's interesting to me that some are thinking Sin After Sin (as well as the other two songs) are AB being "out of their comfort zone," when I listen to them and hear them nestled quite snugly in their AB sound. There's nothing wrong with that, obviously, as I've been following this band fo...

I am so glad Edge is back to using Metalingus. Heel Edge just doesn't do it for me.

Mine is that My Champion is their corniest and one of their worst songs. I just cannot listen to it. Insta-skip. I usually dislike AB's songs like this but something about My Champion is great. The chord sequences during the solo section are great. You know, the first time I heard My Champion, my j...

I thought 11 was Metalingus?

I know times have changed since like 8 years ago, but good lord. Not blaming the band/management, it's just what the climate calls for, but damn.

You know what's sad? I can't even tell you the last time I went to an AB show. I want to, but since joining the ranks of Family Man nearly 7 years ago, I really haven't been out to shows. I'm kind of glad to see the Twin Cities show is at Mystic Lake Casino, as there would probably be some balcony s...

It's like I don't even know you people. Crikey.
