THE HARD R PODCAST #1

The Hard R - Dallas Coyle God Forbid

[That's right bitches, God Forbid guitarist Dallas Coyle's "The Hard R" blogs now have podcast brethren. We aren't really sure whether these will be in addition to or in place of Dallas' 'Hard R' column, or whether they'll evolve into some sort of MetalSucks official podcast, or something else entirely. But for the time being, enjoy it for what it is -- an audio version of The Hard R column that you've come to know and love. In this inaugural edition of The Hard R Podcast, Dallas plays some music, talks about politics, the latest God Forbid news, his thoughts on the Dino Cazares / Tommy Vext drama, Blabbermouth, and a whole bunch of other shit. Enjoy! - Ed.]

The Hard R Podcast #1 (click to download)

A sample excerpt from the podcast (thanks to Blabbermouth for transcribing!):

“I read Blabbermouth ’cause the shit is really just great. I mean, the guys on Blabbermouth, whoever is responding to this stuff, you guys are geniuses, really. I’m not saying that with any malicious intent either — I actually really love the disses. It gets really… Some people give you guys shit, but I respect the fact that you guys hate a lot of shit and you guys love Meshuggah. I love Meshuggah too. I love Meshuggah so much that I would like to scream it the way you guys type it in all caps and fourteen thousand exclamation points, but I have to keep my composure because I’ve gotta ‘act cool.’”

    Great stuff Dallas, not to be an asslicker or anything but i agree with you with most of the stuff mentioned. Keep the podcasts coming. When are you guys gonna visit Finland btw?

    Hey Dallas, thanks for the mention in your podcast (by name, no less). Cool!

    By the way, that one blog I couldn’t get through was only because you were in your substance-induced stupor and, having been there while writing, I know how those things can end up.

    I’ll continue to read, listen and agree/disagree, but I appreciate the (mostly) intelligent discourse your blogs produce. Hopefully the level of commentary (and comments) here at Metalsucks continues to be (mostly) intelligent.

    Yo, do not zip this stuff. I haven’t downloaded it yet because I’m not at home, but MP3 (the format you’re presumably using) is already so compressed that zipping doesn’t really help.

    You’re also a major website. You can handle the minute increase in bandwidth. (Yeah yeah, you’re underground and have to save every penny, blah blah.)

    Last, you can’t play the media directly on the web page, which is bad. Even if you don’t want to embed it for streaming (like you usually do for songs and which rocks), just the presence of an MP3 link means I can use stuff like Songbird to grab it and store it.

    That said, I’m excited to try this out! Thanks for giving cool dudes a forum to discuss quasi-brainy shit.

    Really enjoyed this. Good stuff.

    Pretty cool… padcasts are the way to go.

    I usually read Metalsucks during my lunchbreak at work, where I don’t have access to audio (or else I don’t want to stop listenign to whatever I already have on in the background). I really like Dallas’s blogs, so I’d hate to miss out on them as a result of them going Audio only.

    I’d guess I’m not the only one who is in the same boat, so would be cool if had the choice of both, if anything.

    Nice Podcast.

    I thought as I listened to it that on some instances you weren’t going to come around full circle (concluding topics before moving on to others), but you did.

    It was enjoyable, and thanks for putting that band Fantom on there… That was a really cool track.

    Keep it up.

  • Sammy

    If I had to choose between written Hard Rs or podcast versions, however, I’d take the written version.

    What, I don’t get any mention by name Dallas?? Eat a nut buddy.

    Having listened to it and given it some thought, I definitely though it should be done again.

    Once again, though, I ask that you guys not zip it up, rather simply link to the file. And would it kill you to use an open format like Ogg Vorbis or FLAC? =P (Just kidding! I can convert after download.)
