The Smashing Pumpkins got a new song out that’s pretty rockin’!!!

Leave a comment

I’m digging the new song by the Smashing Pumpkins. This new track reminds me of the band back in the “Siamese Dream” days. Seems like Billy Corgan brought back the old-school Smashing Pumpkins sound we’ve been wanting. That’s Tommy Lee of Motley Crue on the drums. Tommy Lee played drums on the new Pumpkins album. I’ve been listening to the Pumpkins for years. I’ve heard most of the band’s albums over the years but not all of them.

I just love Billy’s unique songwriting and singing. “Siamese Dream” and “Mellie Collie” will always be the best albums by the Pumpkins, though. Those two albums are masterpieces.

Why I’m not a big fan of “Deluxe” album releases… it’s a new trend in the music industry…

Leave a comment

Do you wanna know one thing that sucks in the music industry? In the major label industry, there is a new trend going on with album releases. You know, those “Deluxe” albums that famous bands and solo artists have been releasing as of late. They release a new version of that album with much improved sound and all that stuff. Plus, on those “deluxe” albums they release a bunch of unreleased tracks that were recorded around that album came out. They also release demo versions of the songs of that album and new mixes. This have been happening a lot in the music industry and I can’t understand why. I can’t understand why they would re-release the original album and then they release the “Deluxe” versions.

I haven’t bought too many “Deluxe” albums over the last couple of years this have been going on. The only “Deluxe” albums that I own in my Itunes are Nirvana “Bleach”, Twisted Sister “Stay Hungry” and Iggy Azalea “The New Classic”.

The reason I’m not a big fan of “Deluxe” albums is for a few reasons…

1) They are nothing more than a cash grab, in my opinion

2) All the unreleased stuff on the “Deluxe” album versions takes out of the enjoyment of listening to the original album

3) Bands and artists shouldn’t be showing us how their songs were written. We shouldn’t know their secrets.

It is why I didn’t buy the Soundgarden “Superunknown – Deluxe” and why I’m not buying all the Led Zeppelin Deluxes. Once again, I prefer the original album.

I don’t like this “Deluxe” trend. Everybody’s been doing it. From legendary bands to newer artists. Just enjoy the art of the original album. That’s how music should be listened to, in my opinion. I just think the “Deluxe” releases are pretty ridiculous and they all need to stop.

“Ghostbusters” reunion photo 30 years later… minus Harold Ramis…

Leave a comment

If Harold Ramis was still alive, I’m sure he would have been in this photo instead of Sigourney Weaver. That’s probably why they put Sigourney in there since Harold is no longer with us.

Anyway… Bill, Ernie and Dan still look great as Ghostbusters. Why does the new Ghostbusters film have to be an all female re-boot when it should be these guys in the leading role? Maybe they’ll still be in it. Who knows. We’ll have to wait and see.

It really is too bad Harold is gone, though. Wish he could have lived longer so he could do this movie with them.

Why Republicans were victorious this week for the Election… just my observation…

1 Comment

In facebook when I made that post about the Election and a little debate started out of it, people told me that I should vote for who is best for the job. That’s exactly what I did. Vote for people who is best for the job and they are Republicans. Democrats are lousy at running the country. You know that a Republican take over in the United States was bound to happen. Why did the Republicans take over?

It’s not only because the Democrat party is corrupt, broken and criminal… another reason is that the Democrat/liberal side refuses to unite with us to get our country back. We tried to explain to the left how America is in bad shape and what Obama is doing to our country, they just don’t wanna listen to us. We tried many times to get the left to wake up of what’s going on with our country but no matter what we did, they won’t wake up. That’s exactly what made us right-wingers wanna step up and take over Congress since the left doesn’t care.

How were the Republicans successful at taking over Congress and the USA??? One word: campaigning. They did a lot of campaigning to help people running for Congress. That’s the key. They knew that America was in danger and the Democrats do nothing to help fix out country so they did everything in their power to come out strong and kick ass!!! If Democrats won’t care to do something about Obama’s criminal actions, we’re gonna do something about it ourselves.

Sorry but that’s the way it goes.

I was watching some of the election last night on NBC and I was surprised that they were all over the Republican thing and they even interviewed Sen. Rand Paul. Even though NBC is big time liberal, they had no choice but to support the Republican party ’cause of their successful takeover. I’m also hoping that Republicans will do something about our mainstream media so there can be more honest reporting in the future and not just report things aimed at liberal views.

The election this year will be for the history books, indeed. This is also an opportunity to get a Republican president for 2016 too.

We really showed how fed up we are with liberals. Okay, I know another election post but I’m pretty excited and couldn’t help it. I’ll try to talk about something else later.

Harry Reid, you’re FIRED!!!

Leave a comment

Even more exciting news that Obama’s lapdog, Harry Reid is terminated. In the words of Donald Trump, “Harry Reid, you’re fired!!!” Now that Harry Reid is officially done as Senate Majority Leader, it’ll be interesting to see how things go now that Obama’s protector is gone. Will all of Obama’s crimes like Benghazi, Operation: F&F, IRS, NSA, Obamacare, etc. start to unravel and will hopefully expose Obama the criminal that he is? We’ll have to wait and see what happens. Now that Harry Reid is done and Republicans took over Congress we should soon get more truths of all of Obama’s scandals. Just wait for it.

Here’s what’s gonna happen now that Republicans took over Congress, they’re gonna fight back at Obama’s illegal executive orders, they’re gonna try to get rid of Obamacare and they’re gonna try to force him to consult with Congress before trying something. They could also start working on trying to impeach Obama too.

This is a pretty exciting week. Obama’s days as president could be done very soon, that’s my next prediction.

Today is a huge celebration for right-wingers, take that libtards!!! GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!!

Leave a comment

In the words of Bill Murray, “We came, we saw, we kicked it’s ass”. My version of that quote would be, “We came, we saw, we kicked the libtards asses”!!! That’s exactly what we did yesterday as I predicted we would. We have full control of Congress just like we predicted. Now I can sit here and be entertained by watching libtards implode by our victory!!!

Gov. Cuomo disappointingly won second term as Governor of New York which fucking sucks (New York, voter fraud???) but I’m very happy that Republicans took over Congress.

Take that Obama!!! I’m sure Obama is pretty pissed off.

Today is a big celebration for America. Now we have full control of Congress, hopefully we can get rid of Obama soon. They should get right to work on that now. This is not only an opportunity to get rid of Obama, it’s also an opportunity to stop Hillary from running for President.

Celebration video coming soon, I think!!! Today is a great day for America!!! Welcome back, right-wingers. We came back strong and hard as I predicted. I’m sure liberals are raging mad but that’s tough shit. That’s what they get for how they treated Republicans/conservatives over the years. A big dose of karma for them.

Ben Stein is correct that Obama is the most racist president ever, get over it!!!

Leave a comment

What Ben Stein said is nothing new in the right-wing world. Many of us right-wingers have been calling Obama a racist against whites for years now. Obama showed plenty of signs of it over the years. A few big examples I can think of is that he paid his respects to Whitney Houston instead of Margaret Thatcher, his response to the Trayvon shooting is proof of his racism against whites (Obama’s “It could have been me” speech) and so are his views on what’s going on in Ferguson. Both Michelle and Barack are racists. They both hate white people.

Ben Stein just gave his opinion and he was being realistic; of course, knowing how liberal media is they’re making him look bad all because he spoke his mind which he had every right to. Libtards on the internet are calling Ben Stein crazy and mentally ill and all kinds of names… all because they think he attacked their precious Obama. Boo hoo, cry me a river.

Like I’ve said, it’s nothing new that people have been calling Obama a racist. It just haven’t been all over the media until a famous celebrity said it. I’m glad Ben Stein had the balls to say it. I’ve admired Ben Stein for years. The guy is funny, intelligent and he just got my respect even more now.

Sure, there have been past presidents who were pretty racist but there haven’t been a black president who have hated on white people before. How come there is never any media outrage on black on white hate??? Racism against white people have been a huge problem for years.

If you can’t see that Obama hates white people then I feel sorry for you. Obama constantly gives disrespect to white people but gives praises to black people. If that isn’t racist then I don’t know what else it is.

It’s amazing that libtards can’t even see that and they still worship the guy.

I hope Republicans are successful at taking over Congress so we can hopefully get rid of this piece of garbage of a president.

Album purchases this week…

Leave a comment

So this week I purchased a few more music albums… I picked up:

– Taylor Swift’s “1989” (physical CD): (Yeah, I ended up getting it. I don’t feel ashamed of it either and been wanting to hear it. I saw the CD on sale for 9.99 at Target so I figure that’s cheaper than downloading the album from Itunes so that’s why I picked up the album on CD)
– Billy Idol’s “King and Queens of the Underground (Itunes): (I’m a huge Billy Idol fan)
– Slipknot “The Gray Chapter” (Itunes): (I’ve been wanting to hear this album for a while now and finally gotten around to downloading it)
– Royal Blood (Itunes): (Had to get this album since I read that one page article in Guitar World magazine)

That’s it. I’m saving what’s left on my Itunes redeeming card so I can download Pink Floyd’s “Endless River” next week. Looking forward to that one. The new Foo Fighters album I’ll get another time.

Film Review: John Wick

1 Comment

Starring: Keanu Reeves, Willem Dafoe, Adrianne Palicki
Directed by: David Leitch

Today, I’ve just seen the newest action movie, “John Wick” and here is my review:

Plot/synopsis: John Wick is a mob hit man who upon falling in love with a woman would quit. 5 years later, his wife dies and to make sure he’s not alone she arranges for a dog to be brought to him after her death. One day some punks break into his home and they want Wick’s car so they beat him up and they kill the dog. Wick sets out to find them and learns the leader is the son of his former employer, Viggo. Viggo then sends some to take care of Wick but he’s too good. He then sets out to find Viggo’s son. Viggo puts a price on Wick’s head.

Well, this movie was quite a surprise. I was expecting this movie to be a typical popcorn action flick like the rest of ’em but surprisingly enough… this film wasn’t exactly that. Hollywood over the years haven’t been making great action movies. When was the last great action movie you saw? You’ve probably haven’t seen too many great action movies at all, right? This film here is the true action movie that we’ve all been wanting. It has the gritty violence and all kinds of entertaining as hell fight scenes.

Keanu’s character, John Wick, is a freakin’ badass. I thought this was his best role and I was impressed with Keanu’s acting in this film. Most of Keanu’s acting in movies over the years haven’t been that great and finally he have chosen a great role. I can see John Wick becoming an iconic hero kind of character along the same lines as Rambo, Rocky, The Terminator, etc. John Wick is gonna be the hero that everybody is gonna look up to. This character is very enjoyable.

I thought the entire cast did a phenomenal job. Willem Dafoe kills it like usual as he is a great actor. The main villain of the film is very cool too. Everybody did a great job even former, “Friday Night Lights” star Adrianne Palicki was badass too. She was one of the villain characters.

Best of all, this is an action movie that actually has a plot!!! The story and script was well-written too. The dialogue was well-spoken.

Finally, Hollywood made a great action movie. This is HOW good action movies are supposed to be. I thought this was an excellent film and definitely one of the best films of this year. Definitely check it out before it stops playing. I’ll be buying this movie on BluRay when it comes out. Bring on the sequel please!!!! This is Keanu’s best film since the first, “Matrix” movie.

I’ll give this film a score of 5 out of 5 as in “excellent”.

Just voted today…

Leave a comment

Just voted earlier today and I voted all Republican as I said I would. Delusional libtards in facebook think I’m crazy for voting this way and they’re predictably slamming me but I don’t give a shit. I stick to my political beliefs no matter what anyone else thinks. I really believe in my home country that I live in and disgusted at what Obama and the Democrats are doing with our homeland. Even though a lot of Americans out there are voting all Republican, I have a feeling it’s not gonna work ’cause of the voting fraud. If Democrats win, it’s voter fraud. I’m sure Democrats will accuse Republicans of voter fraud if we win but us Republicans don’t cheat. The Republican party maybe on the ballots but in some machines the Republican party won’t even go through, that’s how sneaky they are with voter fraud. Voter fraud by Democrats have already been confirmed in some states in the US, look this stuff up.

As for Republican politicians, I didn’t even know who they all are and don’t even know what their political views are… I just voted randomly… all Republican. I certainly didn’t want to vote for Gov. Andrew Cuomo ’cause him and Obama are pretty much the same corrupted politicians. I never liked Andrew Cuomo anyways. That guy is a piece of garbage too.

I just find it hilarious how libtards can’t see how corrupt and broken the Democrat party is. Yeah, the Republican party is no different but at least us Republicans are real about it. We’re not afraid to admit that we’re not happy with some things in the Republican party. Why can’t liberals admit that there are some things in the Democrat party that they don’t like? I believe it’s because of their precious Obama. They don’t want to make him look bad and they’re afraid of being called racist and all that stuff. It can’t be that hard for them to admit that there is something wrong with the Democrat party. They’re just desperate in taking over our country just to make gay marriage legal in all states of the U.S.

I just don’t understand people in politics and their views. People are really messed up. Discussing politics with people these days is almost like WWE RAW or a soap opera.

Hopefully, the Republican party will kick the Democrats ass and hopefully us Republicans will keep the House and take over the Senate. Once that happens, then they can work on trying to impeach Obama.

I just saw the movie, “John Wick” in theater today and I’m about to review it now.
