Axl is away this week. Can you believe that old coot finally took a vacation? The last real vacation he took was when we went to the U.K.’s Download Festival together in 2006 — that’s five years ago, people, before this site even existed — while I’ve vacationed to Egypt, Amsterdam, Paris, Alaska, and all over these good old lower 48 United States. The man works hard and he deserves a break! Hopefully as I type this he’s already smoked his first joint of the day and is sitting lakeside with a good book, a frosty beer and maybe a fishing pole. Although the thought of what Axl would do with a fish once he actually brings it in is somewhat amusing.

While Axl is really the resident MS Iwrestledabearonce superfan (they annoy me), Axl did me a solid by posting the new Dream Theater song while I was away so I’m gonna do him the same by posting these IWABO teaser clips ’cause we’re chummy and besties like that. They seem to fit in with the whole Ruining It For Everybody theme and are actually somewhat clever and amusing, kinda like that State skit where Michael Showalter and Ken Marino crash a 5-year old’s birthday party.

Watch the first clip below and the other two after the jump. Ruining it For Everybody drops July 26th on Century Media, and you can stream the album track “Karate Nipples” right here on MS.
