Everybody sells out

I just saw an ad for Avenged Sevenfold in a damn comic book. Ive been listening to them for like four years, now all the Hot Topic, gothy, emo, fake metal kiddies will be rocking A7X like theyre OGs.

Same thing happened to me with Slipknot, back in 2000. I remember seeing them in concert in some shitty hole in the ground place in Raleigh, right before Mate, Feed, Kill, Repeat came out, now look at em.

Every metal band I get into while theyre underground ends up becoming the high school flavor or the month. Ive gotta find a way to make money off of this.

And Im talking REAL metal, not that "rock" emo, high-pitched 'I Miss You and I hurt without you' bullcrap MTV and Fuse promotes as metal.

Examples:
Stupid ass rock music:
P.O.D.
HELLOGOODBYE
PANIC!ATTHEDISCO
My Chemical Romance
Foo Fighters
Anything punk
We Are Scientists
HIM
Sum 41
A.F.I.
Dashboard Confessional

You get the idea. Now for some real metal.

METAL!
Fear Factory
Early Slipknot
Sepultura
Slayer
Kittie
Lamb of God
Systematic
As I Lay Dying
Soulfly
Tattoo the Earth
Static-X
early Mudvayne
DOPE
Grade 8
Coal Chamber
Mushroom Head
Early System of a Down
Anthrax
Pantera
Anacrusis

If you cant handle stuff like that, then you aint metal, youre punk, or goth, or worse...emo. Go back to watching Fuse's Rockzilla or something. Leave the hardcore up to us real metal fans.

I really hate waiting

My car has been in the shop for five days now, and Im getting tired of waiting. Especially since it was only supposed to take "a day or two." Then I was told "end of the week." Now its "Tuesday at the latest."

This is silly. Like the DHL commercials, what ever happened to customer service?
