Jesus Fucking Christ dude! I don't know how I'd go witnessing that shit, but I would certainly be taking the day off and looking for a counsellor to do some debriefing with. Mayhaps you could get your workplace to pay for that shit?

Had a car hydroplane and hit the ditch flipping 4 times yesterday. 3 people inside, one being 5 years old. All had seat belts on and all walked away with the worst injury being a laceration to the toe from broken glass. Those are the kind of calls I like rolling up on. Death sucks.


Oh, and thanks for the Scott Kelly reference. The wife will think thats funny and possibly I might get laid from it all. She has a thing for that toothless lumberjack.

Fuck that dude, you work a saints job. You should get laid on principle.

He was an old enough guy to make his own decisions about his own existence. I've seen a few fatal car accidents and those were more depressing to me.

I've seen a fatal, it still sticks with me. These things are not cool things to witness, and I just can't understand rubberneckers.

I have seen a couple of interviews, I guess I'm just confused as to whether or not his goal is to be totally sober or just lay off the drinking some. I'm not gonna comment like its any of my business, but I just feel that as a fan it would be cool for him to be in a good place, as sleep are FINALLY getting their dues and HoF is cruising along pretty well. I dunno, he's a regular guy, but he's a fuckng hero as well, so I guess you just wanna see them doing as good as they can. Not that that doesn't mean he can't drink if he feels like it. That was way too involved and now I sound like a psychotic fanboy. Hopefully you all get what I'm driving at.

Well, I didn't see the decapitation itself, just the body after it had happened, as AxAxSxSx posted above. That's about as close as I got. Pretty gnarly, but it's not something that traumatized me or anything haha

You guys going out to CZAR and Lb! tomorrow by any chance? Two bands I've been meaning to check out and I'll be in Tacoma prior to hitting the road Wed. morning. I will be getting wasted- moreso than usual I thinks.

We were talking about going, might be dependant on how beat we are tomorrow. It'd be cool to link up and buy ya a beer or three before you head out though. Definately greatly increases the chances of me being there. Fuck it. I'll be there.

Be careful what you ask for (not that gory but still...)

sounds great- but beers on me for sure!

I guess I'm fairly wussy with that stuff.

How is it I cannot find a clip of the "you guys wanna see a dead body" line form Stand By Me?! Fuck you, Internet!

I will have a beer if there are beers going....just putting that out there.

looking at the plans we have with the ladies We might get there a little late but I'm looking forward to it

And technically it's not a whole dead body, cause you know... the head.

And there will be beer!

Haha! Only count dead bodies in whole units...otherwise, just don't bother.
You never know, the head might have had enough and was trying to free itself. Like alien head syndrome.
Or, Tony Harrison...

You know you work in EMS when you look at that pic and you start hearing George Carlin narrating a story about how Thomas ran over someone.

While on scene it doesn't bother me, it always hits me when I lay down to go to sleep. None of the faces ever leave you. The day I lay down to go to sleep after a bad call and I sleep peacefully is the day I'm going to get out of EMS.

Enough of this depressing shit, how about some heavy shit:

I can understand needing to move on, but at least do it in private where the only people who have to witness the aftermath are those who clean it up.... In public just aint right...

I'm so glad that everyone walked away. As I myself am fully aware of what the worse is that can happen in those situations..... or sometimes the best....

No problem buddy! the live video just reinforced that observation as well. But hey if your looking for someone to look up to as far as stage presence there ain't nobody better!

Edit: Just saw on FB that High On Fire "Razorhoof" beer is being brewed.
I don't even care if its good I will be tracking this down

Three Floyd's Beer is hard to get outside of the Midwest. You'll need somebody from Indiana or Illinois, or possibly Michigan to snag you some. They distribute a lot. If I want Three Floyd's beer I have to go into Indiana to find some.

Dig it.

That is the best picture of Des I think I've ever seen. He doesn't even look that enthusiastic about playing, but BEER!!! Fuck yeah!
I do wonder at the logic behind a band with a member who has just been to rehab putting out a beer, though. I'm sure Matt's cool with it.

Hey Boxman, just start with a beat when you get stuck. Good songs are built from the arse up, as I like to say. You gotta have a mad beat to lay a riff over. I find that stuff that was written from the rhythm section's perspective is always tighter and more well formed than guitarists rolling in and saying "alright, riffs a,b,c x4 in a cycle, then a half measure of riff 39b, then alternate between bridges 6 and 9c for a while, then we cycle again but we sub a chug variation of riff x after 2 repeats, got it? Good. And make it sound awesome!"
Which is how I wrote, so don't do that.

"You're not chugging with feeling!!"

Or, "More math-y, but not like math-math."
I'm a douchebag.

That's kinda like how I used to write. It put a lot of pressure on the other two lads: the bassist because he always felt he had to do something unique and different, and the drummer because he generally preferred playing simpler parts. In the end I started hating myself and everything I wrote because of a weird variation of guilt. I began asking them to bring something fresh to the table, and they did; some excellent stuff. But sadly they moved back to the UK before we had a chance to fully move direction.

CaptainBoxman wrote:Right, we're going back to basics here

I'm trying a fresh start with a new perspective and going in for some very long slow Bongripper or Conan-esque tunes. Since this is a kinda specific niche, and typical guides wont really give me any inspiration, and you guys are all more experience than me in songwriting, how do you guys go about writing your songs/riffs?

Talk me through your own processes and what helps you, hinders you and what I should look at or stay away from PLEASE

Handheld recorder and jam. When a good riff pops up, even if it's random or sloppy just record it. Even better if you don't try to rehearse it and just record your first or second try. Do this a lot and don't be afraid to edit. Throw out 9 for every keeper. If I get inspired sometimes I'll try to improvise a whole song just to see what happens.

This is good advice. Don't be afraid to throw away a lot of riffs. I used to try and work with everything and anything. It was stressful because I couldn't face the thought of dropping something. It wasn't out of arrogance. I was just determined to make shit work, and sometimes it just doesn't. The quicker you accept this the more accommodating you will be as a musician and more at peace with yourself.

I've been fortunate that I've never seen that kind of thing. I've been very sheltered in that sense. I don't know how I'd take it.

Iommic Pope wrote:I've seen a fatal, it still sticks with me. These things are not cool things to witness, and I just can't understand rubberneckers.

I understand the psychology behind rubbernecking, but I will always teach my future kids the importance of avoiding death as much as possible. Death is a part of life, but don't go hunting for it. It'll find us all eventually in one or another.

Also, I agree regarding your point about Matt Pike. For some people, mostly functional alcoholics, they continue to drink after rehabilitation, but they are fully aware of themselves and what they are doing. Matt needs to be fully aware of what he is doing if he is going to continue to drink. Self-awareness is something you have to learn. We're not all born with it.

I love that movie so much. I have to get the Blu-ray and watch it in full HD glory.

I get what you're saying, but suicide and self-harming isn't really an entirely rational, selfless act. By definition it's an action all about oneself and ignoring the feelings of others—at least for some. And this is another point, for some people, committing suicide isn't a conscientious, self-aware decision. People self-harm because the physical feelings detract from the emotional feelings, right? It's also something tangible. You can see the blood, you can feel the pain and know why it's happening. Emotional pain is often highly confusing and rarely comes from a discernible source. Physical pain does, and is therefore a relief. Some people kill themselves because they are, for lack of a kinder term, broken. Killing yourself on a train track is as logical to someone with severe mental disabilities, and suicidal tendencies is a mental illness, as falling asleep in the middle of a forest with an overdose of paracetamol.
