  1. Unlikely. It would be impossible to make a top 5 out of King Gizz alone, they released 8 albums this year.
  2. I liked it but it wont make my top 10. My top 10 this year might not even have a real metal album at number 1.
  3. I use the stuff the guy has in his truck but don the spacesuit and do it myself. In the shed I spot spray with something a little less lethal when I see them but generally the shed gets a free pass. It's kind of weird though because the tractor cabin is covered in cobwebs but I have never seen a living spider in the cabin, yet the bastards love making houses in behind the mirrors of the ute.
  4. I spray the house twice a year to keep spiders out and for the most part it works we only get a few daddy long legs and little garden spiders which are mostly dead. I've never tolerated the things in the house, despite living with a tarantula in a share house in Sydney 30 years ago. Out in the shed is a bit different, there is cobwebs everywhere and if those who made them don't touch me I don't touch them. I know there is redbacks out there, there is definitely white tails and without a doubt there will be hunstmans. I've found huntsmans crawling on my leg while going through the wood pile before, but they are pretty harmless. But any spider I have here is nothing on the funnel web up in Sydney or the massive dinner plate sized monsters I've seen in Merridin WA, so I feel lucky.
  5. White tails are not the danger the media have made them out to be for the last few decades. Studies today show that apart from some swelling, itchiness and soreness white tails don't usually cause ulcerations. Further recent studies of 100 incidents where whitetails could be confirmed as the biter they have not found one case of necrotising arachnidism, which they were blamed for. #Whitetailslivesmatter!

  7. I'm sure she would have let you watch all the chick flicks you wanted if you'd just asked her to turn the metal down.
  8. Now it's a competition! Will Father A ever catch up? Will Father A eventually claim the crown? Or will the Goatmaster reign supreme? Father A is your budgie? (I will not lower myself to make a joke about budgie smugglers.) NP Halford -Crucible.
  9. Forgiven, this time, but please be mindful of the effect you have on the rest of the world in the future. Xentrix - Seven Words
  10. When it comes to forums the idea of participating is more than enough for me to have some interest but when it comes to sites like news blogs and magz I can barely relate to anything they put forward. Even the sites where they actually have genre specific polls, (public or website content creators only) I tend to have massively different ideas. I think over the years the closest I've ever come to finding something close to my ideas is Bravewords, but over the years that site seems to change their minds about what is good and what isn't quite a bit.
  11. Well stop it will you. I'm sick of reading about all the albums you've underrated
  12. I've always participated in them on other sites but I've never gone looking for what other sites/ people are listing.
  13. Do people actually read other website, blogs, news sites, whatever for end of year lists? I don't think I've ever found a website that actually reflects my top albums and therefore usually don't get past the headlines or leading links talking about them.
  14. Got invited to my nieces school awards last night, she was up for a few awards which we were all proud of but the highlight of the night for me was the musical interludes. I'll give the first kid credit, I'm not an Ed Sheeran fan but the kid singing gave it her all and it sounded okay. The second song was some other pop song I didn't know. But the third song just before the end of the night was brilliant. The lights went down and in the shadows we could see a 15-16 year old kid with long hair stepping up to the mic, 3 other musos with their instruments behind him. Into the mic the young guy mildly says, "This one's for Chuck, gone too soon". I read earlier in the day that the previous day was the anniversary of Chuck Schuldiner's death, but I really didn't think much of the kid's comments. The the lights came up covering the stage in a blood red colour, the kid put up the horns and the band broke into Pull The Plug. The kids did a darn good job but the look on some of the parents and carers faces in the audience not expecting some loud death metal song from school concert was absolutely fucking priceless. Kudos to the teachers for letting the kids express themselves with the music they wanted, but I'll still never forget the look on some peoples faces.
  15. I really don't calculate what I spend each year on specific items but when it comes to certain spends it's hard to ignore how much something costs. I know 100% that I've spent more on music this year than I have on car servicing, but having to order it in bulk online because none of the 4 automotive store locally want to stock the stuff seems like a big kick in the wallet. Truth is servicing the tractor and the truck cost more than the ute but I can get all the parts locally for those two. Don't really know why but I picked up Lemmy yesterday for $5
  16. I wish I didn't spend so much on non music shit. I just spent $200 on oil, $30 for an oil filter and $130 for a fuel filter so I can give the ute a birthday around the same time Jesus wants one. Buying oil in bulk does save me a little bit but I can't get the same quantity locally for less than $280, so ebay it is, sorry Mr. Postman but you need to deliver me another bulk package.
  17. I bought less than I thought. I haven't actually counted them but looking at my 2022 list for a top 10 and I reckon I'll be through re-listening to everything by mid next week.
  18. In the mail today 5 ice/heat packs. Doesn't sound as exciting as an album.
  19. We have metal radio stations? The inclusion of metal core any where or any time is a problem all on it's own!
