The truth about ISIS… terrorist group revealed here…

This is why Obama refuses to call them “ISIS”. He refers to them as “ISIL” ’cause he simply doesn’t want people to find out that ISIS is really Mossad. Look up Mossad… that’s who ISIS is really. They’re a secret service operation. ISIS and ISIL are not the same thing. They never were. It’s just Obama trying to confuse us on who they really are.

Look this stuff up.

Tomorrow, I’ll post videos about this.

Robin Thicke admits he didn’t really write “Blurred Lines”… Pharrell Williams wrote it!!!

This is the kind of thing that goes on in the music industry these days. Artists writing songs for other artists. Record labels writing songs for artists. This is the kind of thing that Gene Simmons was talking about but nope everybody have to be like, “Wwwaaaaahhhhh… Gene Simmons is full of shit, he’s just a jealous loser”.

I’m willing to bet that Robin Thicke didn’t write most of his own music. I’m sure Robin contributed to his own songwriting but not very much.

Robin Thicke is one artist I’ll never support ’cause he’s one of the very few artists that I hate. Can’t stand this egotistical douche!!!

60 Years Ago Today, Marilyn Monroe filmed the famous scene from “The Seven Year Itch”…

60 years ago today, Marilyn filmed the famous subway grate scene. This is the movie that helped her become the icon that she’s always been. Not only this is one of the most famous movie scenes in America, this scene also helped make the dress that she’s wearing all famous and iconic too.

While this is a pretty cool scene, I think the entire film itself is great and one of her best films.

Benghazi scapegoat, Raymond Maxwell, exposes Hillary and Obama in a big way…

Now this dude is a real patriot!!! As the first public hearing of Benghazi approaches this Wed. somebody is coming forward with info that exposes Hillary and Obama in a big way. Raymond Maxwell who used to work for the State Department reveals that Hillary tried to order him to help her take out documents that would put some people in a bad light over the Benghazi attacks. Raymond wouldn’t go for it.

He used to be a pretty big Obama supporter but later regretted supporting him after Obama and Hillary were treating him like a scapegoat over the Benghazi attack. In other words, Obama and Hillary wanted Raymond to help protect them but he wouldn’t go for it.

Raymond was put on administrative leave after he posted a few poems online that may have pissed off Hillary. She claimed that putting him on leave wasn’t about him, it was more about herself.

Benghazi Bombshell: Clinton State Department Official Reveals Details of Alleged Document Review

I think Trey Gowdy is gonna wanna have a talk with this guy pretty soon! Raymond could help expose the cover-up.

Most people in the Obama administration are willing to risk their lives to protect them over Benghazi but not this guy! This guy has got my respect now!!!

List of albums I’m interested in getting…

I’ll have to admittedly say that 2014 have been a decent year for music I guess… I have purchased a little over 10 albums for the year of 2014 which is impressive. I usually don’t buy that many.

There are still some more albums I wanna get for 2014, here’s a short list:

– Judas Priest “Redeemer of Souls”

– Opeth “Pale Communion”

– Robert Plant “Lullaby and the Ceaseless Roar”

– Slipknot “5. The Gray Chapter”

– Foo Fighters “Sonic Highways”

– Taylor Swift “1989”

– Slash & Myles Kennedy “World On Fire”

– Smashing Pumpkins “Monuments to An Elegy”

And whenever Ac/Dc confirms their new album, I’ll be looking forward to that one as well.

That’s all the albums I’m looking forward to for the rest of the year. I’ve never been into Slipknot but after hearing a few tracks off their new upcoming album, I’ve been impressed with it. I’ll have to start getting into Slipknot’s music.

Your Meme For The Day: Don’t Change So People Will Like You… Be Yourself…

10703641_806570422733438_8751457248948614736_n

Without naming names, I have way too many people thinking they can change me until I please them.You know those kind of folks who don’t like you, they will let you know about it? If they don’t like you, they’ll tell you what you can and can’t say. They’ll tell you what to do and all that stuff. They’ll try to control you. Manipulate you. People will complain and whine about how bad of a person you are until you change your personality that pleases them.

My advice is don’t ever change for anyone. I never did. Never will. I will always be the same guy no matter how many dislikes me out there. If you continue to be yourself, ignore everyone’s bullshit and drama… the right people will come around and love you for that. If you don’t change for anybody, people will respect and admire you for that. That’s how you make the right friends.

People like to tell me that I’m a bad person as if everyone in the world will think the same. Not true. I have quite a lot of cool and caring people in my life. I have caring people who don’t take me seriously and personally. Some people make the mistake that a lot of people think I’m a horrible blogger. I’ve been wrongfully accused of being delusional and insane like if I haven’t heard that stuff before.

When it comes to criticism of my online blogging or social networking… it’s only a matter of opinion. I always get mixed responses by people. You either love me or hate me. Not everybody dislikes my blogging and social networking. There are people that enjoy everything I do online and there are some who agree with most of what I say. So just because one person say that I’m horrible, doesn’t mean everyone else will agree.

If other people say that you’re a bad person, the last thing you want to do is listen to them. Ignore their bullshit. Continue to be you.Continue to be yourself and people will love and respect you for that. That’s how you make new friends and fans, just being yourself.

Agree with it or not, I have quite a following of my online web presence. Not everyone dislikes my politics discussions and not everyone dislikes my anti-Obama stuff. I have people telling me that I do a good job on this stuff.

Like I said, the response toward my blogging and social networking is always a mixed bag. I always get a mix of haters and loyal supporters and I’m fine with both.

There’s nothing wrong with being controversial or brutally honest. If that’s how you wanna be, people will respect you for that.

I’m not changing a damn thing for anyone. People find my online blogging or social networking offensive? Good. That’s what I do. That’s what a blogger’s job is supposed to do. If you’re not offended yet, just wait. I’ve noticed over the years of my blogging and social networking that people won’t reply to my posts unless they disagree with something. Nobody wants to get into a back and forth friendly conversation. The only time people reply is if I post something people don’t like. People usually ignore my topics about movies or music but I seem to get people going with my politics and sometimes people reply to my local music discussions if people disagree with it. I don’t like the way this is to be honest with you but it is what it is. This is the internet, people are crazy as hell on here.

If people are trying to tell you how to be what they want you to be, don’t listen to their bullshit. Don’t change for anyone at all. Not even to your closest family and friends. Just continue to live life, be happy and keep on keepin’ on. If you continue to be you, people will want to be your friend for that. More people will find you interesting.

Isis allegedly beheads another one…

Ya know, as long as Isis is still standing… they’re gonna keep releasing more and more beheading videos. They keep threatening Obama. If you stop and think about this for a few minutes if Isis threatened a different president whether republican or democrat, he wouldn’t sit back and let his life being threatened like that. He would’ve sent a bunch of military over and drop bombs on them until every last one is dead. That’s what a real president would have done. A real president wouldn’t  have came up with weak strategies like airstrikes and a small amount of military. If this was George W. Bush, he would’ve bombed every last one of them right after the first beheading video came out. As long as Isis keeps threatening Obama and Obama sits back and not doing much about it, that’s gotta say something.

These videos had to be filmed in a studio or something ’cause if they were in an open desert, they could be found.

It may seem like that Isis is threatening Obama but I think they’re just acting. Trying to cover up that Obama and Isis (or Isil) are on the same team. A real president would respond to threats like that immediately.

If Isis is serious on taking down Obama by all means, they can take him for all I care. If they want Obama, they can keep Obama. Obama’s a worthless piece of trash anyways. America doesn’t care what happens to Obama.

When people attack Gene Simmons for his “rock is dead” comments is proof people know nothing about music…

I see a lot of people attacking Gene for his “rock is dead” comments. The most popular attack that I’ve seen that is aimed at him is, “The only reason he’s mad ’cause Kiss is no longer successful”. I’ve seen you guys said it on here and a lot of people in facebook made that claim. I see that claim all over the internet. It’s just people way of saying that Gene is just jealous. Which is nothing new when people decide to be realistic or have an opinion in music. When people decide to be honest or have an opinion music related, they always get called jealous. I always get called jealous when I criticize the local music scene. When you criticize other bands or the music industry, being jealous is the only response that people can come up with.

Like I proved the other day, Kiss has always been in the spotlight and they’ve always been successful. ALL of their albums sold pretty well and they still have a huge fan following. They still tour on a yearly basis. As a matter of fact Kiss just played a show in Saratoga Springs not too long ago, SOLD OUT show of course. Plus, KISS are rock n’ roll Hall of Famers now so they’re definitely not jealous of other band’s successes at all.

Ya know, when people makes these claims and lies that Kiss is no longer successful, it sounds like that you’re the one who is being jealous of Gene.

You see, today’s industry is different than the past. There’s a lot of kids and a new generation of music fans who don’t understand how the industry was back in the 70’s and 80’s. I believe that’s why a lot of people attacked Gene for his comments. When I see people attack Gene for his opinion when that’s all it was, I think to myself… all these kids probably listen to stuff like Slipknot, Korn, Avenged Sevenfold and stuff like that. How much do you wanna bet that kids in this generation don’t even listen to KISS, Led Zeppelin, The Who, The Clash, Pink Floyd, Hendrix, etc.??? A lot of new music fans don’t understand how the old days were.

Ask yourself this… do you think new bands like Slipknot or Avenged Sevenfold would be as big as Led Zeppelin or The Rolling Stones??? Yes, Slipknot and Avenged Sevenfold are two metal bands that are pretty huge but I don’t think they’ll get the legendary status like bands from the 70’s did.

I know Dee Snider of Twisted Sister responded to Gene and I actually enjoyed what Dee wrote.

However, no matter what people think of Gene’s comments, I’m just glad that he brought it up and it sparked a huge debate. It really helped bring to everyone’s attention. I’m pretty sure the major record labels are pissed that Gene said that. LOL!!! It would be nice if we could get another rock revival just like the good old grunge days in the 90’s. Aaaaahhh, those days were awesome. I miss the days when bands like Pearl Jam, Nirvana, Stone Temple Pilots, Smashing Pumpkins, Soundgarden and Alice in Chains were all over the mainstream.

Will rock n’ roll and metal ever take over the mainstream again? It could but it would be very tough.

I’m still siding with Gene, though. Gene definitely got people going on this.I don’t see what Gene said was so bad at all. He just simply wants the industry to give the new rock bands a chance. There’s a lot of talented new rock bands today that deserves more recognition and success like the pop stars are getting. Bands like Slipknot, Avenged Sevenfold and Black Label Society deserves more mainstream recognition… all three of those bands I listed are great.

When people attack Gene, I believe they don’t understand how the music industry works. I’ve been around long enough to see what music was like back in the 80’s and I’ve been paying attention to 70’s music too. That’s what I prefer to listen to the most, I love 70’s rock music. Why do you think I love Led Zep, Hendrix, The Doors and The Allman Brothers??? How come bands like Slipknot and Avenged Sevefold don’t get the iconic status like them? That’s all Gene is saying, people!!!! Chill out and relax.

I’m sure the music media won’t leave Gene alone on this topic and interviewers will ask him about it again. It’ll be interesting to see how long this debate goes.

Several Ways Rock Music Can Get Big Again…

I know Gene Simmons comments on “Rock is Dead” is pretty debatable and controversial but I got something else I would like to get off my chest about it. I know rock music is still here and in different forms but either way it is still a dying industry and struggling.

What are ways that the mainstream and commercial music can respect rock n’ roll again???

Here’s a short list:

  • Start inducting actual “rock” bands in the Hall of Fame: I know I’ve spent years defending the Hall of Fame but I’ll have to admit it is pretty weird. The Hall of Fame seems to be inducting questionable artists like Pop and Rap artists just so they can fit the current mainstream. While it’s great that the Hall of Fame finally inducted Rush and Kiss, there are still other true rock bands that the Hall of Fame are ignoring… where is: Yes, Jethro Tull, Deep Purple, SRV, Megadeth, Iron Maiden, etc.??? The list can go on. I understand people trashing the Hall of Fame, I mean if you’re going to do a “Rock n’ Roll Hall of Fame”, you induct real rock n’ roll. Not pop artists.
  • Fix the broken music industry: Like Gene Simmons said, the major labels aren’t the same anymore. The labels are manufacturing artists without any real talent. Don’t have a good singing voice? No problem… the studios will improve it with auto-tune. Nobody in this industry can really sing these days. The major labels needs to start signing bands who play their own instruments and write their own songs if they want respect again. These days it’s the major labels writing the songs, look it up.
  • Trash crappy magazines like Rollingstone, SPIN, etc.: These are the magazines responsible for changing the industry. They’re the ones who help promotes rap and pop so they can sell subscriptions. We need more magazines that promotes rock music. There are magazines that promotes rock music like “Revolver” but I haven’t seen too many magazines that are about rock music.
  • Get rid of MTV/VH1 and other music channels that promotes mainstream pop: No explanation necessary???
  • Trash the MTV VMA’s and The Grammy’s: Award shows are obviously responsible for helping to kill the rock industry. We can all probably agree on that one.
  • Fix the Billboard Charts: I think the Billboard Charts aren’t honest as everyone thinks it is. I’m almost positive that rock bands sells a lot of records than the pop artists on the charts. The Billboard Charts seem to be broken too. I used to enjoy looking at the Billboard Charts but not anymore.
  • Promote rock music more: Rock music is still here yes but it’s the less promoted genre. When you see people listening to garbage like Kanye, Jay Z, Justin Bieber , Toby Keith or Kenny Chesney and all that crap, try to turn people onto rock music. The reason rock is almost a dead industry is ’cause kids these days would rather listen to those artists I listed above. That’s what I’m gonna do when I get kids of my own someday. If I ever get kids of my own someday, I’ll introduce them to Led Zeppelin, Ac/Dc, Hendrix, the Allman Brothers, The Clash and Sabbath when they get a little older. You should do the same to your kids. If you want rock n’ roll to get big again, then people need to listen to it. Teach people rock n’ roll and maybe people will get interested.

Seriously, I’ve listened to rock n’ roll all my life. It’s my preferred genre although I do listen to a little bit of everything else. Don’t get me wrong, though, I do like some pop and rap, just not all of it.

There are still tons of great rock bands out today that a lot of people are missing like Dream Theater, Black Label Society, Avenged Sevenfold is pretty good, Ghost B.C., Animals As Leaders and tons more to name. The list can go on forever.

Yes, Gene’s “Rock is Dead” comments are debatable but you can’t deny that rock n’ roll is struggling a little bit.
