IN WHICH WE DECLARED TODAY OUR INDEPENDENCE DAY
Thursday, July 2nd, 2009 at 6:00pm by Axl RosenbergFor those of you not from the U.S. and somehow completely unaware of this, the Fourth of July is a pretty big deal here in America. On that day, we celebrate winning our freedom by kicking the British’s ass. Of course, they later gave us Hugh Grant, so I guess they had their revenge in the end.
So there won’t be any posts tomorrow; on Monday, we’ll unveil the last albums on the list. In the meantime, here’s some things that happened this week in the world of MetalSucks:
- We continued to countdown the 21 Best Metal Albums of the 21st Century… So Far. You continued to engage in, um, intelligent debate. Yeah, let’s call it intelligent debate.
- We spoke with Goatwhore’s Ben Falgoust and Black Math Horseman’s Sera Timms.
- We checked out new releases from Killswitch Engage and Havok.
- Daath’s Eyal Levi took a break from worrying about dying in fiery plane or car crash to worry about getting shot.
- We debated the merits of the new Alice in Chains song.
- We laughed at high school year book photos of past and present members of Metallica.
I plan to not be sober for the next 72 hours. See ya Monday!

Has anyone heard of the band Echovirus, put out an EP called Prelude To Dystopia?
But… tomorrow is the third?
You didn’t kick our arse, we just went home cause we couldn’t get a decent cup of tea.
Rik, It’s the 3rd here now.
Happy independence day guys.
That’s because we threw all the good tea in the water.
See, yeah. Take that. We still won!
What about The Spice Girls; was that payback for American G.I.’s bringing the Blues to Britian?
Hey man, don’t dis blues. It’s one of the main foundations for metal.
I ain’t dissin Da Blooz.
But I bet the Brits are bitter that The Blues totally fucked their entire music industry.
If that hadn’t have happened, their gay Skiffle scene would have mutated into….?
I STILL think Iowa is #1.
Tomorrow(Friday) is still the 3rd.
Are all of the MS Bastardos on the East Coast?
I would think that the fireworks display in NYC would be the awesomest.
Probably better than the Capital?
Being a Canadian, I don’t have to worry so much about being shot at a huge public gathering…
most people are pulling three day weekends on friday, since this is the first time in a while where the 4th has been on a saturday. Usually it’s some random day of the week that you get off.
Ahhh, I can dig that; our Independence holiday was yesterday… that sucked.
I know that when July 4th is in the middle of the week, Americans typically make it a 4+ day weekend. Or, apparently, when it’s on a Saturday they still make it into a 3 day weekend. Most of us Canadians don’t stretch holidays into epic long weekends; we’re just grateful and humble enough to have a paid day off work.
By the way, I like the TPB reference in your name. I’m sure most people wouldn’t catch that one.
TPB…I can’t help it; I fuckin love that show.
So far you’re the only one to say anything.
They do run the show down there, so I don’t know?
I’ve also been:
Randy… I AM the liquor
and
Hi-Def Piss Jugs
So, I have multiple personality disorder.
Happy Independence Day
How about next week you guys review the new, facerippingly awesome Gorod album?
I think, considering I was born on the nation’s day of freedom (ie. saturday, july 4th), the metalsucks staff should send me free shit. I mean…I’m just saying.
Can you guys at least jokingly put Hollywood Undead up as #1 before you post the real one? Just so some of these losers will go hang themselves over this stupid list and we dont have to read their jerk off opinions anymore…
psst… hey MSBloggers:
I’ll send you a cheque for $1000US if you put Obzen as #1
shh, Don’t tell anyone; it’ll be our little secret, OK?(wink)
Nothing is better.
I’d like to know WTF happened to the Shuggah live DVD that was supposed to come out this Spring?
#1 Steel Panther
#2 Lil Wayne
