SHELLAC + BASEBALL = METAL
Friday, March 28th, 2008 at 11:03am by Vince NeilsteinThanks to MetalSucks reader Tiago for sending us this clip of Shellac live in Rio this past Tuesday. And thanks to Wikipedia for reminding us that Shellac guitarist Steve Albini is a baseball nut.
And best of all, thank the fucking lord that baseball season is starting on Monday. Thank you for Johan Santana and thank you for Billy Wagner, below, shown entering the 9th inning to the tomes of Metallica’s “Enter Sandman.”

Awesome. Shellac rules!
New rule: no more recording and/or posting of music events captured on cell phone cameras.
And, wearing glasses on stage is NOT metal.
Falling on your ass and acting like nothing happened: METAL.
Immobile bass players: METAL
LOL @ a Met closer copying a intro song from a Yankee closer.
Fuck that – Mariano Rivera is the Sandman and no one can touch that. Now Mike Piazza with Overkill, that was pretty metal.
As a baseball fan from MA, I have to yell the obligatory “YANKEES SUCK!” in Andrew’s general direction. And a “GO SOX!” for good measure! Papelbon. Lights out!
Shellac kicks ass and Albini is God (and he is a fan of the correct baseball team, the Cubs! Who are gonna win the…OK they probably aren’t gonna win shit again but that’s why there are 450 bars withing a quarter mile of Wrigley–true fact)
Gotta remember, Bob Weston is a masshole, hence, red sox fan!
