Conan

Mike's Conan T-shirt on the rehearsal tapes
Slightly gay but that's what makes it so hilarious!
I've got a Nintendo poster of Fabio that looks exactly like it for an old video game called Wizards & Warriors.

I wanted to ask and find out if he's just a fan of Conan, or if this was due to the new Conan game being so popular in Europe that he would have the shirt. I think they said the new Conan sold like hotcakes over there. And you all know how hotcakes sell.

I'm happy with the special edition.

Conan is actually Mike's wife's brother's cousin's sister's former boyfriend so he and Mike are pretty tight with each other

He was wearing it when they played in Toronto. \m/

Well, whatever one might think of Sen. Schwarzenegger these days, but Conan the Barbarian was (and is) not only one of the best Sword & Sorcery movies ever made (to not use the term Fantasy) but it also features the best soundtrack of the entire fantasy genre. I wouldn't be surprised if Mikael's fascination with the movie was in great part due to Basil Poledouris' score....

When I watched the new DVD, I thought he was wearing Manowar-shirt with Eric Adams in it.

There's nothing gay about Schwarzenegger... baby oil and muscles.

 

[Mr Samsara]

Conan's badass. Period.

I know, and I never said that! I'm a huge fan of that movie myself.

You realize that could be shortened to Mike's wife's cousin's ex, right?

 

[GT2000]

Damn - I thought this thread was gonna be about Opeth appearing on Conan O'Brian...

That was funny when Lamb of God played on the show - Conan looked sick with fear...

 

[Blackwater Demon]

anyone ever wonder what would happen if you put Thulsa Doom's severed head in a microwave?

me neither

 

[Iki-ilkkuja]

The most thoughtful lines of Schwarzenegger:

"What do you see?"
- "Infinity."

 

[Blackwater Demon]

all this talk of conan makes me want to watch it. I think I will. I bought it on vhs at a yard sale last year in perfect condition for like 50 cent

 

[Iki-ilkkuja]

It's a great movie, not too epic and massive, doesn't have any million-man battles and dragons and other useless stuff.

 

[Blackwater Demon]

you mean like lord of the cockrings?

Yeah... it's highly esteemed among power metal musicians, but ultimately fails by being to cheesy, melodramatic and massive.

Just like power metal.
