    Impractical Jokers

    in US TV

    Posted

    I enjoyed it. The videos were the highlight, with creepy murr being excellent. The stories they told were good although like others have said, they did feel a bit too scripted.

    Quick Question Thread

    in The General Nonsense Forum

    Bought a VIP ticket for a gig for my girlfriend which required the tickets to be picket up from the venue with the card used to buy them, however i have switched to a different bank since i bought them so have a different debit card. Will this actually be an issue when i go to get the tickets?

    The Metalhead thread

    in The Music Forum

    Posted

    South of Heaven's easily the weak link. Couple of quality songs, and the rest is relatively filler. IIRC, it even contains the band's least favourite song from their entire catalogue, though I forget which one. Still an incredible triumvirate, but I'd wager that you could pull three back-to-back from Sabbath's first six that I'd have to admit were 'better'.

     

    Other suggestions:

    • Beneath the Remains/Arise/Chaos AD for Sepultura.
    • Do Faith No More count? I'm sure a number of people could choose three from the sliding window of Introduce Yourself/The Real Thing/Angel Dust/King for a Day.
    • L7 - Smell the Magic/Bricks are Heavy/Hungry for Stink.
    • Not a big fan myself, but I'm sure a lot of folk would go for Metallica's first three albums.
    • I'll bet Motorhead pulled off three crackers in a row at some point. Suggestions, people.
    • Rage Against The Machine's first three albums?   :huh:
    • System of a Down/Toxicity/Steal This Album probably edges out Slayer's trilogy for me anyway.

    Three top-class albums in a row seems to be particularly hard to pull off. Off the top of my head, I can think of a number of bands who released two classics, followed by something lacklustre, especially at the start of their careers. Obituary and Cannibal Corpse spring to mind as bands who toured relentlessly and brought out two great albums, only to run out of ideas and need a break (by their own admission) by the time they were contractually obligated to make a third.

    Some great suggestions on this topic so far.

     

    Some i dont think have been suggested:

     

    Marilyn Manson's  Antichrist Superstar, Mechanical Animals and Holywood  are his best albums.

    Anthrax's Fists full of metal, Spreading the Disease and Among the living

     

    Not really metal but Kiss' Destroyer, rock and roll over and love gun are all great albums.

    Bombing Syria

    in The Politics Forum

    Posted

    No you're wrong. and not only moving your goal posts, you're changing pitches too. There is no crediable "regional forces" in Syria. Any force that would be friendly to us in Syria is currently being bombed into oblivian by Russia and/or enemies of our allies. And they're mostly based on the opposite side of Syria.

    TBF Neither Turkey or Iraq want any sort of Kurdistan to come out of this.

    If you are referring to those rebel groups in idlib/aleppo/latakia then you only have to look into the debacle that was the fsa division 30, to see that the islamist groups dominate those areas and would simply overpower any moderate groups like they have previously. The best outcome is for the western backed SDF and the SAA (Assad) to simply use their respective air support from the US/UK and Russia to wipe out the people being bombed by the russian sas well as isis.

    The Kurds in Iraq have been autonomous for years and a joint Kurdistan is unlikely while Baranzi remains in charge in iraqi Kurdistan.
