MUSTACHE OF THE DAY: SHAVE AND DESTROY
We can’t stop listening to really ancient Metallica lately, which along with the punk streak has been wayyyy fun for TCOAN. (“Alternative Ulster” by Stiff Little Fingers, in particular, won’t stop looping through our heads.)
So in an effort to exorcise the demons, we name mid-career James Hetfield as our mustache of the day. Really, we’ll do anything to get “Seek and Destroy” and “Blackened” to leave our brains at this point.
Your hair grows fasterrrr….obey your MUSTACHE!!! MUSTACHE!!!

Looks like Bama is going after Saban again…and he’s actually interviewing with them on Wednesday.
‘The source went on to say that Saban has issued a list of demands that must be met before he would consider the Alabama job.’ Wonder what those demands look like?

I liked Metallica for a short time, but they did 3 unforgivable things:
1. Load
2. Helped shut down Napster.
3. Made other albums that make Load look good by comparison.

check out “Full Metal Garage – Songs that Inspired Metallica.” It’s most of the stuff they covered in the original garage days, plus a bunch more great early-80’s metal.

Any albums in particular? Ride the Lightning and Master of Puppets perhaps?
Urban Meyer, Ed Orgeron, and SOS endorse the above albums.

“For Whom the Bell Tolls” is played non-stop at Rutgers games. In Jersey, it is always 1987.

Too bad Metallica hasn’t had a good album since ‘88.
Thanks for the “Alternative Ulster” link. Quite cool.

Tom O’Brien to NC State…is there a Tom O’Brien equilibrium of 8-4, 9-3?

Stiff Little Fingers? Kudos, me boy. My respect for you just went up from “George Hamilton” to “George Wendt” on the George respect meter.
Trust me, there aren’t many levels higher than George Wendt.

I preferred “Suspect Device,” myself, and had a happy walk down memory lane listening to “I am a cliche” by the X-ray Spex yesterday — which was timely for the people who are going to watch the homebrew video and cheer for the revolution… missing the fact that a lot of ordinary Catholics and Protestants spent decades being tormented by assholes with guns, bombs, and an ideological veneer over their criminal gang activities.

Hey, “Seek and Destroy” was Sting’s WCW entrance music for a little while. That has to count for something.
and, yes, I took it there.

RCR, good bird dogging. If St. Nick goes to the Tide, can we revoke his canonization? He’s not a quitter, but maybe the job he took was like the old story of the dog chasing the car. Once he caught the car, he didn’t really know what to do with it.
Next thing you know, Jerry Glanville will be down in Coral Gable running “Stagger Lee” and leaving tickets for Elvis. But the uniforms will definitely be different..

Saban has trademarked “Got 13″ and will demand he be added to the Walk of Champions (there’s a misnomer – 6-6 inaugural season!!) next to Stallings and Bama will claim LSU’s 2003 MNC.

Is it too late (pr early) to mention ‘Sound Of The Suburbs’ by The Members or ‘Teenage Warning’ by The Angelic Upstarts in this thread?

This thread’s as good of an excuse as any to go dig out my old Screeching Weasel CDs tonight.
I’d listen to my old Lynyrd’s Innards tapes, too. If I still owned a cassette player.
Hetfield did have quite the cookie duster back in the day, didn’t he?

dude, I don’t check EDSBS for a couple of days, and look what happens. James freakin’ Hetfield circa ‘87 and everyone’s tossing around Master of Puppets and old Oi references. sweet. for anyone who really hates Metallica for their anti-filesharing BS (dude, Lars Ulrich testified in front of Congress with a Mormon senator from Utah!), I recommend the unique joy of downloading their good albums (Kill em’ All, Master of Puppets, Ride the Lightning, I guess you could make an argument for And Justice…) off of soulseek. they never would’ve started to hella suck if Cliff Burton hadn’t bit it in a tour bus accident.
#12-Dude, X Ray Spex, all right, now we’re talking!!! crossing artsy old UK punk rock with college football is a sure win-win. Maybe instead of play ing that irritating Mortal Kombat theme college bands can start hooking it up with covers of Gang of Four and the Buzzcocks and Discharge.

Surely a good place to start: the tOSU marching band working on “Orgasm Addict” – just watch out for when they dot the i!

I hope you are referring to early Discharge, cause when I saw em in 88 they were gay gay gay. And for them there is something wrong with that. Cal’s hair was blown dry to start the night, but filled with loogies by the end. As for Peter Shelly’s melodies (I love’em) but there is no place for those in college. GOF is/was limited to a couple of great songs. Give me the new stadium rock explosion of Turbonegro.

rolliefingersmustache says:
yeah, turbonegro’s pretty awesome, but would they be rocking that hard if great bands had not come before them? I think not.
GOF had two entirely great albums, dude. Just ask the trillions of bands out there today jocking their steez.
Yeah, Discharge was pretty freaking awful by ‘88, although there’s something to be said for their hair metal years. It’s kind of good in a so unbelievably bad it’s good way.
