Heavy Metal Wal-Mart

[Ruthven]

Wal-Mart is the only thing that is open when I get off of work, so I regularly stop in to see some kind of civilization after midnight. Now, it's not unusual to hear Ozzy or Priest's radio songs piped in over the overhead music players. But tonight I was walking around when it finally dawned on me, "Hey, that's James La Brie singing." "Pull Me Under" was playing over the loudspeakers. So I did the only thing I could think to do - call Pellaz. Now, I once heard "Another Day" while eating at Krystal, but "Pull Me Under" is one of Dream Theater's heavier songs. It was truly surrealistic.

Fascinating.

Walmart would never play "This Dying Soul" though. they're too politically correct.

I'm not too sure I would call what you're apt to see at Walmart after midnight...civilization. I've seen some fucked-up looking folks at the Walmart that late.

I've never heard any Dream Theater played at Wal-Mart before! That's a new one!

 

[dtmetalfan69]

That would be awsome. I would love to walk into a Wal-mart and have Manowar playing. Rock out!

Dream Theater in a Walmart? YOU LIE!


That's like saying you heard Iron Maiden at a Kmart!



Run to the blue-light-specials
Run for your coupons!

2 Minutes to Closing!

Hee hee ... we used to do stuff like that back in the day when we were on the Burger King closing shift!

hey buddy, I shop at walmart at 2 or 3 in the morning as I work nights and I keep nighttime hours and we aren't all that fucked up looking

so I regularly stop in to see some kind of civilization after midnight.

That's funny. The only thing I've EVER seen in WalMart is rejects from the human gene pool.

 

[BlindPanzer]

At the blockbuster I work at I always put metal on the store speakers... Usually Pain of Salvation but I've put Opeth, Iron Maiden, Dio, and Tad Morose..

hahahaha, yeah, and you knew I'd be awake at that hour, too. (Driving home from seeing Ozric Tentacles in Charlotte, dodging ghosts in the fog...which was also pretty damned surreal.)

I think this must be some sort of reality-altering effect that only Ruthven has, since the last time he called me to report a strange public musical choice, it was Cradle of Filth about to be played on a commercial FM rock station there in Chattanooga.....and sure 'nuff....

 

[Ruthven]

OK, I can understand why there is amusement that I would describe the "culture" at Wal-Mart at 3 am as "civilization." That is actually part of the reason I go to the particular Wal-Mart that I do. Since it's off the beaten path (for that time of night), most of the _really_ freaky people go to one of the other locations

 

[Walter_Langkowski]

It don't get much more Metal than Wal-Mart.

Nothing hurts more than the truth.

Wal-Mart is the oasis of human misery

Wal-Mart is the oasis of human misery

Bingo....that's the new marketing slogan.
