Fun with Metal!

[Slammed]

Sort of looks like a Beck’s!

Could be, Becks has a red band and a light coloured wrapper around the neck too but I can't find a 30 year old label for either brand

Someone's having a birthday!

 

[Neptune]

Another old guy!

 

[Slammed]

He's even older than Alex by virtue of the fact that his band has been around longer

Sort of looks like a Beck’s!

Ooh yeah. Could be!

Have you seen the entire Bad News movie?

 

[redfly]

No I haven't. I wasn't sure if this was a movie of from a sketch comedy show. How is it?

 

[Slammed]

It's both. As the Young Ones they did skits as a part of their TV shows. But as Comic Strip they produced a full movie. It's a brilliant piss take on the metal scene done before Spinal Tap. The music is corny and really really poorly written but that's the idea, there is some classic lines, and of course a bunch of cameos. I think one of the differences between this and Spinal Tap is that the 4 'Young Ones' were metal fans so it's deliberately bad to be funny not deliberately bad to please Hollywood.

That bass is stupid.

 

[Slammed]

Yeah it looks silly enough with only three strings but no frets makes it look wrong.

 

[redfly]

Lol, it has more knobs than strings.

 

[Slammed]

I suppose it makes his instrument memorable

[Slammed]

Not to take anything away from the artist because it looks well drawn, but if it didn't have the Metallica logo would you pick anyone but Crab Man?

 

[redfly]

Lol! I wouldn't be happy if I was Kirk.

 

[Slammed]

Yeah I don't think I've ever seen Kirk that angry and long faced. The artist also didn't get Lars' girlie features right!

Is it to late to have her sterilized?
