Classics Reborn

He may not get paid from every site, but while he's possibly being paid by sites like Blabbermouth the payment for sites like YT and Twitter etc rarely come from the company. News site (and we'll call Blabber one of those for this purpose) could pay someone to attract traffic by comments and heaps of them. But when it comes to sites like YT and Twitter what you get is secondary companies, some might call themselves advertising agencies, but it's a loose term, who are paid sometimes by the top company (YT/Twitter/Etc), but usually by businesses or social influencers etc who want traffic. Prime example is those "how to" video makers on YT, they would get emails (spam) offering likes and comments for a fee, these companies sending out the emails if successful do a deal with the video maker, the video maker pays a fee and the shitty ad mob pay someone else a smaller fee to make comments and attract traffic. The process can be adjusted for pretty much any platform that allows user interaction. These people like DW are ego maniacs and in some cases probably don't even agree with the side they argue, but if they keep the argument going every refresh of the page is an increase in traffic.
Anyone that constantly makes puns about their own name should locked up. :D

I think she'd probably like it. Lol so it was your Breaking point?

Breaking Baggyman. I don't know why and I don't care, but something about that guy annoys me and I've never wanted to hear anything he's done, but she insists we all hear it when she wants too :)

Whether he gets paid from one site or 20 he's getting cents per comment. Someone that willing to make an idiot of themselves for that little is probably beyond medical facilities.

I really don't think I could name one song. I don't think it's because I've never heard one. More likely my brain is protecting me because it's wicked lame.

I couldn't name any one song either because I don't listen that closely. The sound is thankfully distinctive because it means my brain knows when to turn off :)

All that hot air between his ears could make him float.

Ellefson band were supposed to be touring here later in the year. He hasn't cancelled (or been cancelled) because of the last few months BS but I guess he's going to need to pull the pin now.

It's not really. We were the support act and as a part of the deal we were supposed to help their roadcrew load in and out. We'd been out watching their set and went to go back stage to help and the only way through was the band room. We walked in and Dave got all rock star on us and started to pick a fight. I was just drunk enough to mouth off but not drunk enough to fight, we had words and in the end I told him that if his crew asked where we were to tell them we'd gone home because he was a c...! It's water under the bridge these days, we aren't mates or anything but we don't want to kill each other either.

I gotta give the guy his dues, not only has he been doing Screaming Jets for 30 years and they rock harder than many metal bands when they have a good night, he's also fronted The Angels, a hard rock band that's been around for nearly 50 years, for the past decade. Him and a mate also put on a free live stream of music and silly shit every Sunday for 40 odd weeks during our lockdowns last year. They may not be metal but when they play live they play fast and aggressive and some of the pits I've seen at their stages have rivalled pits at shows like Morbid Angel.

Yeah it was, gave people something to do with their Sunday afternoon. It started out really badly in their backyard with two mics, a guitar and beer, then it moved to a pub with no people and more beer. Then they got a band together and more beer. Then came the live crowd of 50 people and a beer sponsorship. Then even after things started opening up they kept doing them for the fun of it. While bitches here were complaining about not doing gigs the lead singer was doing popular songs and talking shit for nothing just to keep people entertained.
