This may not last but I'll give it a go.
The world doesn't need any more blogs, but I need to write one, mainly for distraction from the absolute shit-show that is everything
What can you expect?
Lots of Metallica, for which I make no apologies. Quite a lot about The Warning too, because I think they are one of the few bright spots in rock music today, and because I really like their music.
Other bands I like include Faith No More, Soundgarden, Queens of the Stone Age, Royal Blood, Mastodon, Royal Republic and Muse.
But there's a lot more too!
What the heck am I going to write about? Album and song ratings, songs that shook me, favourite drum fills, bass lines to die for, and anything else I can think of.
For starters, let's lay down some markers:
- Load and Reload are Top 5 Metallica albums
- Bleeding Me is easily a top 3 (possibly top 2) Metallica track
- Lars is a legend, and he was right about the future of music
- The Cult are one of the greatest bands to exist
I aim to expand on these, and other opinions, in the coming days.
I write code for a living, and have a technical blog. It's a massive pain in the arse to keep up to date, especially the architecture, and managing images. Broken image URLs are one of the main headaches.
With this blog, I plan to do nothing but write. I'm really attracted to this simple approach. So there will few, if any pictures I'm afraid, but I hope the writing makes up for it.
I have no idea who, if anyone, will see this. I plan to stay anonymous for now. If you do see this, please say hi. You might just be the difference between me giving up, or carrying on :)
