Report: Chris Cornell surprises fans at Download festival…

Chris Cornell, shocks fans by giving them what they want at the Download festival. He brought out the metal rocking, Chris Cornell. Not the mainstream pop, Chris Cornell. During his set at Download, he played mostly Soundgarden and Audioslave classics. He only played 2 or 3 songs from his solo career.

More on it here:

It’s nice to see Chris finally giving what the fans want and not being a selfish man for a change. Hopefully, Chris will smarten up and make a metal/rock record when he records a new one.

And I fucking love how he threw Temple of the Dog’s hit “Hunger Strike”, that song is incredible and it’s nice to see Chris perform that song.

Thought: Brock is seriously calling for a “Macho Man” Randy Savage return to the WWE…

So I finally picked up the “Macho Man” Randy Savage DVD, “Macho Madness” over the week. I haven’t watched all of it yet, I’m just starting to watch the first disc since this is a 3 DVD set. I have a lot to watch ’cause there’s so much to watch on this thing.

I wonder why Randy Savage has never made a return to WWE. He did make a brief return to TNA way back in 2004, that was about it. I want the “Macho Man” to come back to the WWE for one last run. If Hulk Hogan already did it, so can Randy Savage.

Yeah, I know Vince McMahon and Randy Savage, never got along too well in real life. Since the WWE just released a DVD dedicated to Randy Savage, it’s quite obvious Vince McMahon still has a lot of respect and love for him.

Maybe Randy Savage will agree to one last WWE match when he gets inducted into the Hall of Fame? I certainly would love to see Ric Flair vs. Macho Man again!

Macho Man was one of my favorite wrestling characters back in the 80’s. I haven’t watched the rest of the DVD yet, but will this weekend. All wrestling fans wants a Macho Man return to the WWE. Sure, Randy is getting old, his hair is white now and has a grey beard, but I wish he would give what the fans want is give us one last “Macho Man” WWE run, ooooohhhh yeahhhhh…

Thought: David Carradine’s sex life being revealed for the world to know…leave the man ALONE already!!!!

David Carradine’s kinky and bondage sex was meant to be for his own private use. It’s what he loved to do privately in his own bedroom in his own free time. The media is making me sick revealing everything in detail. No one wants to read this shit. I’m sure David’s family and friends are feeling humiliated and embarrassed that everything about David’s sex life is being revealed to the world publicily.

I understand people are trying to find answers for his death, but what David did was his own private business. I certainly wouldn’t want to know every detail about his private sex life. The media is making me sick over this.

Everybody has sexual perversions in our lives that we like to do in our private time. Whether it’s bondage, being a nudist, swinger, homosexuality, being addicted to porn, crossdressing, etc. Whatever it is, everybody, has something. Things like this are just something people like to do behind closed doors. It’s all up to you if you want be open minded about your sexuality.

It’s just that I think, people do not have the right to get into someone’s private sex life after the person have died. Very disrespectful to the man. Just because someone died, doesn’t mean it’s right to dig into their private life.

Ask “The Expendables” cast a question for upcoming interview…

Sheryl Main’s “Expendables” blog is asking fans to ask the “Expendables” cast questions about the upcoming action movie. It must be about either their character or the film itself, any questions not related to the film won’t be accepted.

I asked my questions already. Feel free to ask yours here:

Thought: Chickenfoot is one of the worst rock bands today…

The lineup isn’t bad… they need to get rid of Sammy Hagar as their lead singer. Sammy is not a good vocalist. He was back in his early 80’s days, but hearing the new stuff he’s doing with Chickenfoot, (which also includes guitar shredder Joe Satriani, Chad Smith of the Chilli Peppers, and Michael Anthony of Van Halen) has not been that great.

Their band name is possibly another one of the stupidest band names I ever heard. Talented musicians, don’t get me wrong, but a lineup like this is way more crazier than James Iha’s other band, Tinted Windows.

How come the lineup of the band, Tinted Windows, is easy targeted and gets made fun of by everyone, yet, Chickenfoot gets a free pass? Chickenfoot is a band full of ego maniac nostalgia has beens while Tinted Windows has a lineup that no one has ever heard of.

Chickenfoot, is horrible and I hope this band fails. Tinted Windows is a much better band than Chickenfoot, in my opinion. Tinted Windows can rock, Chickenfoot can’t.

I think Tinted Windows is one of the best supergroups to ever come around. I will not get the Chickenfoot CD. I’ve been listening to Chickenfoot songs in youtube, and they haven’t been grabbing me, ’cause they don’t have the energy I’m looking for.

I like Joe Satriani but him doing a band with vocals isn’t for him, man.

I wonder how Chickenfoot’s concert at the Palace Theatre in Albany will sell. I’m thinking the Palace will only be half full or maybe less.

Report: Family of former pro wrestler, Chris Benoit, sues doctor who prescribed drugs to him…

The Chris Benoit legal drama just won’t end. I can understand though. This is a pretty harsh tragedy that will be hard to get over and the family is seeking justice.

Dr. Phil Astin, who prescribed drugs to former WWE star, Chris Benoit is being sued by the Benoit family for wrongful death. The toxicology reports revealed that it was the drugs that led Benoit to murder his wife and son, then took his own life after.

Chris Benoit was known as the best technical wrestler in the wrestling business, and most famous for a finisher called, the Crippler Crossface. He was also longtime best friends with another pro wrestler who also died of drugs, Eddie Guerrero.

It’s still a sad thing. Chris Benoit used to be a favorite of mine before the murder suicide controversy. I used to love the guy as a wrestler/performer. I used to look forward to any match Chris Benoit did and lost all my respect for him like everyone else.

Hopefully the WWE will prevent this from happening again. The Benoit controversy still feels like it just happened yesterday.

Resident Evil 5 thoughts…

So I’ve been playing the game “Resident Evil 5” for the past week or so. The game is pretty cool. The action is fun, but of course, so far, the game is kind of  a bit too simple to play. I’m playing this is on the “difficulty/hard” level of course. On every action/adventure game, I always play on the “difficult/hard” levels, because I feel that when you play the game on easy or medium modes, it gets me thinking that you’re not much of a pro gamer that some people make them out to be. If you want to be an expert game player, play the games on “difficulty” on everything you play.

This game got a lot of controversy in the media when it first came out ’cause of the racist material in it. The game is set in Africa where the two main characters, Chris and Sheva fight all these zombies that are mostly blacks. In the game, the black zombies will kill and execute human white people. I can understand why people think the game is racist, but there is racist material in almost all video games and movies these days.

It’s not okay to be a racist in real life, but in fiction storytelling whether it will be in video games, books or movies, it makes it okay. It doesn’t make you a racist for telling a story about it in fiction entertainment.

“Resident Evil 5” is a fun game though. I’m hoping to beat this game before the “Ghostbusters” game come out next week. I haven’t gone to the mall yet ’cause I’m waiting for “Ghostbusters” to come out, then I will go and pick it up. Maybe catch a movie in theater too if anything good is playing.

Immature behavior will not be tolerated here…

Even though I’m at a new blog spot and new place, the rules are still set in stone. No harrassing the blog owner. Those comments will not be approved and will be banned from my blog immediately.

To those that are obsessed with writing nasty things to me, and think it’s funny for your own selfish kidnergarten humor, I ask you to please stop and treat each other how you like to be treated. I understand I’m not liked by everyone, but I can’t please everyone. I don’t care if people don’t like me, so you’re just proving nothing and wasting your time ’cause I don’t care about internet drama anymore.

To the troll that won’t back off, you can easily stop, move forward and play things civil. You’re a big waste of my time and pretty useless. Anybody that harrases the same person for almost a year or over is a pathetic loser in my eyes. What is your obsessive grudge with me? I don’t get it. Don’t care.

I’m a happy person these days and would rather keep it that way. I’ve been getting out of the house more, finding things to do and you should too. It’s good for ya.

Lets be civilized and act like adults. Thanks.

Kev

Edit to Add: The anonymous troll is no one from the RRC website, so apologiez to the people at the RRC. The troll is some stupid kid from Waterford/Albany, N.Y. area, a local person. I will take care of it, thanks.

Thought: David Letterman is a friggin’ comedian, he didn’t need to apologize!!!

I don’t know about you…but I’m dissapointed in Dave for apologizing to Sarah Palin. He’s a friggin’ comedian, people! If you been watching Dave for years, he’s been insulting and making fun of celebrities for a long long time!! THIS IS NOTHING NEW!!!! That’s what Late Night Talk show hosts are supposed to do, make fun of famous people! I’m not dissapointed of Dave for making fun of Sarah Palin’s daughter. I’m dissapointed that he came out and apologized.

Comedians don’t do that, Dave. Dave, big coward. I for one, thought the joke was pretty fucking hilarious. Dave apologizing for it was not funny, he only said sorry ’cause he was afraid of losing viewers…which he didn’t. He actually beat Conan O’ Brien with the ratings earlier this week for it…so there.
