So Nice, I Posted It Twice
Call me vain, egotistical, arrogant, what you will.
I make no apologies for the fact that I look great when I am hard at rock.
La Resistance
I had my first gig with la resistance on Friday night.
Here are my two favorite shots thus far:

Everyone’s favorite grind/noise/fuck you band, Anal Cunt will be at The Barbary,/a> tonight. So excited!
The same night, American Hardcore opens at the Ritz. I’ll be seeing that Saturday evening.
Black Scorpions: Iraqi Metal
Black Scorpions
there’s an emerging group of young Iraqis who’re expressing their pain, hatred, and sorrow by playing in an underground Baghdad metal scene that nobody thought existed until now.
Bands like A.Crassicauda (scientifico for black scorpion), pictured here, are one of a small number of hate-fueled groups influenced by Western devil-worshippers like Slayer, Dimmu Borgir, and [...]
Friday Videos: Farewell to CBGB’s

Also, you get a good view of Tony Iommi’s self-made plastic fingertips. And of course, Ozzy resplendent in a white, fringed jumpsuit.
Iron Maiden: Aces High

I Can’t Wait Til Friday
Dio: Stand Up and Shout!
HI!!!!!
Friday Fleshtones: Beautiful Light
bonus clip:
Holy Diver, by Ronnie. James. Motherfuckin’. DIO.
Tell me you’re not banging your head to Ronnie’s soulful gibberish.
He’s got the sword out too.
Update: I fucking LOVE the cardboard cutout demon, almost as much as the flames behind Ronnie-as-Conan.
Am I being snarky? yeah a little, but it is true that I totally love Dio. I [...]
