MOAR OLD BANDS U MIGHT NOT KNOW ABOUT

Tuesday, January 4th, 2011 at 3:30pm by

In the first installment of “OLD BANDS U MIGHT NOT KNOW ABOUT“, I shared a bunch of old bands that I like. Instead of coming up with a new description, I will just reuse the old one:

When I am not trolling simple-minded, entry-level elitists, I enjoy the soothing, dulcet tones of some classic thrash or death metal. I am definitely not any kind of metal encyclopedia or authority on the subject, but I have realized that (sadly) I’m old enough to have heard a few bands that many younger metal fans have not, just because I have been exposed to a lot of bands over the years — sort of like an ancient desert tortoise who is not a historian, but has seen history unfold before his eyes simply because he is old as fuck. Because I enjoy giving back to my community, I will share some of my favorite older bands in case any of you might like them. If you want to hate on me, that’s OK, too, so feel free to tell me I’m a poser, that everybody already knows about these bands, that I got some trivial detail wrong, or whatever else you think makes you “sound like u rly know what ur talking about.”

With that out of the way, here’s volume 2!

ALICE COOPER, GOLF MONSTER

Thursday, December 6th, 2007 at 12:32pm by

Alice Cooper(In addition to the highly wily ganja,) I’m pretty partial to ppppillz myself, but if alcohol was my vice (oh wait — it is too!) I would now know how to quit. Umm…golf??? According to spiderweb-cellar master darkman Alice Cooper ( Vincent Furnier), “more guys need to be addicted to golf.” Apparantly when Cooper got out of rehab and needed to figure out a way to get over his bottle-of-whiskey-a-day (and then some) drinking habit, he occupied his time by playing a lot of the world’s most boring sport.

“I used to get up in the morning, drink a beer, then another one, and watch The Price Is Right…but when I would wake up puking blood I knew there was something wrong” he explained to Craig Ferguson the other night on a rerun of The Late Late Show, “…and when I got out of rehab, there was just nothing to do. So I started playing golf, and I would play 18 holes in the morning, take a lunch break, play 18 more holes, and then practice for a few hours. I played 36 holes of golf every day for a year.”

I’m proud of Alice for kicking the habit of booze, really I am, but for the record — golf is much more fun when you drink. Seriously.
