If anyone's interested in watching 'the end of the world' *cough* with front-row seats but can't afford the airfares for the privilege it's available to the world via webcast: http://webcast.cern.ch/

This is the first cover of "Caught Somewhere In Time" I've heard which hasn't been a dismal ear-gouging experience due to try-hard growls or extremely gay vocals. It still gets a bit questionable towards the end though.

I just wish they'd do some Lemur Voice 'covers'

 

[Watto]

Fuck yeah The guitaring is awesome, I thought the singer would be shit just because of his dancing in the intro but he has an awesome voice

 

[Shadow298]

WORST PUN EVER!!!

From the Andy Sneap forum...

I'm actually really enjoying a bunch of the tracks on Death Magnetic, but for comedy's sake I re-wrote 'puppets' so that it applies to it's production...

A couple of lines here and there could be a bit better, so feel free to make suggestions:



MASTERED BY MUPPETS

End of session day, Rubin works away:
I'm your source of song-destruction
Tunes that hurt you ear, poor sound engineer
Leaving spikes on my instruction
Trust me you will see
Volume’s all you need
Dedicated to
How I'll limit you

Compressing faster
Limit your Master
Your albums sell faster
With a loud Master
Master

Mastered by muppets, brickwalling your dreams
Clipping, distorting and smashing extremes
Ruined by me, you can't hear a thing…
Just spiking snares, and auto-tuned screams
Mastered
Mastered
Rubin’s my name, and I'll hear you scream
Bastard
Bastard

Need to mix this way, never you dismay
”Loud” makes death magnetic clearer
Gain monopoly, ritual Waves L3
Squash your tracks til it’s severe
Gate and you will see
More and more dB
Dedicated to
How I’m killing you

Compressing faster
Limit your Master
Your albums sell faster
With a loud Master
Master

Mastered by muppets, brickwalling your dreams
Clipping, distorting and smashing extremes
Ruined by me, you can't hear a thing…
Just spiking snares, and auto-tuned screams
Mastered
Mastered
Rubin’s my name, and I'll hear you scream
Bastard
Bastard

Master, Master, where's the version I've been after?
Bearded, Bastard, you promised only lies
Blaster, Blaster, recorded on a ghetto blaster?
Laughter, laughter, laughing at those highs
Spike to me!

Lars ain’t worth all that – “natural” kick and hats
Kirk adds wah without a reason
Never ending phrase, Jaymz goes on for days
Rob, your shirt is out of season…
I’ll record til 5 (then)
I will help you buy
Sandals that suit you
Now you look cool too


[The last few lines only work if you've seen the picture of James and Rob shopping with the Armani bag]

counter with this worse reworking of a Metillica song that my old band and I wrote 4 years ago.

Enter Santa-man


Say your prayers little one
don't forget, my son,
to include everyone

tuck you in, warm within
keep you free from sin
till the Santa he comes

sleep with one eye open
hang your stocking right

exit light
enter night
toys in hand
set out from Northern Winter land

something's wrong, shut the light
happy thoughts tonight
dreams of joy & sweet nights

dreams of toys, dreams of child’s desires
dreams of chestnut fires
and of things that will delight

sleep with one eye open
hang your stocking right

exit light
enter night
toys in hand
set out from Northern Winter land

“‘Twas the Night before Christmas
And all through the House
Not a creature was stirring
Not even a Mouse”

hush little baby, don't say a word
and never mind that noise you heard
it's just the Man upon your roof,
jingle-bells and cloven hoof

exit night
enter light
dawn’s at hand

exit night
enter light
toys in hand
we're off to Northern Winter land

this is what extreme boredom and the majority of members who drink does.

great link for two reasons.

1: learning that Shredder in the first Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoon was voiced by the Uncle Phil from Fresh Prince of Bel Air

2: video of the Smurfs being bombed.

Is it just me reading into things to much or is that almost Telstra-grade idiocy?

very clever use of porn and animation (possibly not work safe).

After watching the news coverage of Manly winning the NRL i've come to the glorious realisation that never again will a huge crowd of people chanting for beaver be a televised news piece.
