What was wrong with the Metallica and Lang Lang performance? I thought it was fine!!!

1 Comment

So Metallica and Lang Lang performed the Grammy’s last night, and the Metallica song they ended up playing was “One” which was a great choice of a song actually! I’m glad they stayed away from “Enter Sandman” for once.

Like usual when it comes to Metallica there are always mixed criticism. Some loved this performance and some hated it but what’s new with Metallica haters, ya know? People will hate everything Metallica does these days. Every time Metallica wants to try something different, nope, they can’t make everybody happy. That’s why I respect the hell out of Metallica. They aren’t afraid to take risks with their music and try something new.

I liked this collaboration with Metallica and Lang Lang. The piano sounded different with metal.

When people are hating on this performance, the critique is that the sound mixing is a little off and Kirk’s guitar is out of tune a little bit. People are also complaining about James’s vocals and like always, they still think Lars drumming sucks.

I mean really? I agree that the sound mixing was a little off but despite the technical issues they still played really well. I thought it was a good performance. At least, it proved that Metallica can really play. Metallica never believed in fake playing, auto-tuned and lip syncing like most of the Grammy’s show was just that.

You should still give the Grammy’s credit for finally having heavy music on the show, though. I did watch the Grammy’s last night and to be honest, it was actually a pretty good show. I was impressed with the diversity of genres. They had every genre of music perform on the Grammy’s stage. Something for everybody which was kind of cool. I respect that.

Although, I’m disappointed that Lorde didn’t win “Album of the Year”, Daft Punk deserved it too ’cause they’re good even though that group is gimmicky as hell.

Back to Metallica and Lang Lang, I wish people wouldn’t be so opinionated and hateful. Lang Lang looked like he was having a blast performing with Metallica. Huge smile on his face throughout the performance. After this, I can definitely see Metallica and Lang Lang collaborate again. Maybe Lang Lang will special guest on the next Metallica album, that’ll probably end up happening.

The Grammy’s was actually a decent show. I was surprised.

This is exactly why I won’t do the bar & club scene when it comes to women… this dude is right on the money!!!

Man, I liked this guy’s advice about, “Avoiding Party Girls” when it comes to trying meet women so I decided to share it here. He’s so right that a lot of dating gurus out there like to try to get you to practice picking up women at bars/clubs when in reality, it’s a bad idea. Bars/clubs or even house parties aren’t the best places to pick up women at all. If you pick up a woman at a bar/club, chances are… she’s gonna be really hammered that she won’t know what she’s doing most of the time. It’s pretty likely she’s gonna forget who you are pretty quickly. If you end up taking a girl home to have sex with later that night, you could be into a lot of trouble if you get her pregnant and you could even get STD’s with these party women. These are reasons why I would completely avoid the bar/club or the party scene when picking up women. Guys think it’s cool to pick up party women but in reality, it’s not cool… in my humble opinion. Party women are very dangerous… they could ruin your life so watch out for them.

If you wanna pick up “good women”, I’d suggest places like the gym like I’ve been saying for a while. If you meet women at the gym chances are she’s gonna be very healthy and she won’t be into heavy drinking and stuff so she can stay fit so the gym is probably a cool place to meet women. What are some other places to meet good women? Maybe the library but of course, you may have to talk very quiet. The Church maybe? Meeting women at a church may seem cool but the only problem with that is you may have to wait to sleep with her until after marriage but if that’s what it takes to get a girlfriend, dating a religious woman might be worth it. Other places to meet “good women” are coffee houses like Starbucks ’cause you know women like to get coffee and stuff. There’s no Starbucks in Greenwich yet but there are coffeehouses around here.

Just look around. There are beautiful women everywhere. Meeting beautiful women doesn’t always have to be the bar/club/party scene.

I agree with this guy that party women are awful. People mostly use bars to hook up for sex, anyways. If you’re looking for more than just “sex” and want actual love/romance, the bars/clubs aren’t the way to go. When I go to EBJ shows, I don’t go there to practice meeting women… I go there to enjoy the music of EBJ but women seem to approach me at these shows anyway. I go to bar/clubs sometimes to see local bands, not to pick up chicks.

Party girls are stupid. It makes you wonder why there are so many beautiful women who are single mothers in this day and age.

Yes, I think I’m gonna watch the Grammy’s tonight…

Leave a comment

Yeah, I’ll probably watch the Grammy’s tonight just for laughs and for something to watch on TV. I wanna see the Metallica and Lang Lang performance. I’ve been watching Lang Lang videos in youtube and he’s a pretty sick pianist. Wow!!! After seeing Lang Lang in youtube, I can easily see why him and Metallica would be an obvious collaboration. Lang Lang plays fast piano so he can easily jam along to speed metal.

Anyway as for my predictions on the winners of the Grammy’s tonight, I’d say who the hell cares but I know that Lorde will probably sweep everything, and she will indeed win, “Album of the Year” for her “Pure Heroine” album. It’s a great album so I actually would like to see her win those awards tonight ’cause you know she’s going to.

Other than that, it’s probably gonna be a horrendous show… the Madonna performance will be a nightmare but will be funny to watch.

I’ll write an honest review of the Grammy’s either late tonight or tomorrow.

I came across this interesting self-test in facebook so I decided to try it ’cause it seems pretty serious and educational.

Try the test, here.

I did mine and I got: 90% Republican!!!

Yep, told ya I am a die-hard Republican/Conservative. I could have gotten 100% but not sure what I got wrong but oh well, I’ll take 90.

Yes, I am against gay marriage, abortion, gun control and all that human rights nonsense. I don’t feel any regrets about it either.

Oh great, Madonna is now set to perform the Grammy’s this Sunday, wonder what kind of controversy we’ll get out of her???

3 Comments

Are you ready for a half naked middle-aged woman to take the stage at the Grammy’s this Sunday night? Yes, Madonna is set to perform. For the past several years, she has been quite the controversial performer. She’s not only almost naked on stage most of the time, she’s still doing her “sexual” image like she has always done.

I used to like Madonna but I only liked her back in the 80’s. I don’t like her anymore, though.

The Grammy’s is this Sunday and I’m trying to debate on whether or not I should watch it. I’m actually curious about the Metallica and Lang Lang performance so I’ll probably watch it for that.

Miley may have been controversial at the VMA’s but Madonna can make her look bad easily. The Grammy’s will indeed pull some controversy so they can try to top the Miley thing.

Alex Jones responds to Bob McDonnell and Dinesh D’Souza arrests…

Leave a comment

After the recent controversies of former Virginia governor Bob McDonnell and his wife both have been arrested for corruption charges and film maker Dinesh D’Souza has been arrested for selling an illegal donation to the Senate, InfoWars host Alex Jones responds his thoughts. Alex says that America is headed to a purge and says that the Obama administration is getting really scary that they are going after everybody who calls them out.

I’m not sure if Dinesh selling donations to the Senate is illegal or not but it probably isn’t I would assume… I am sure he is innocent though. I think this was the Obama administration’s opportunity to arrest the guy since he made that movie, “Obama’s America 2016”.

The Obama administration have been going after EVERYBODY who calls them out.

Come on, Barack, what are you afraid of, you coward?

Anybody in the media who calls out Barack will probably get arrested or even murdered?

Barack can’t get the hint that everybody hates him and he runs away when he’s called out. Man up, Barack, and get over yourself, asshole!

Interesting facts about Obama’s obsession with drones…

I stole this image from the Alex Jones Info Wars page and if you research this info yourself you would see that this info is not making anything up. Don’t get me started that the reason for Obama’s obsession for drones is to help fight terrorism when you know there’s no reason to drop drones on people. Obama dropped drones on people ’cause he is evil. Pure and simple. Hitler would have been proud.

Don’t get me started on George W. Bush either. Yeah, George W. used drone attacks too but not as much as Obama. Obama used drones too much and I’m sure he’s still doing it. If you don’t think this is murder, I don’t know what else it is.

A little rant about Justin Bieber fanatics…

Leave a comment

Are those Justin Bieber fanatics this obsessed with him? I’d  have to say that those “Beliebers” are the most pretentious fans I’ve ever come across from. They absolutely worship the kid as if he is god or something. I understand being a big fan of a music artist is all cool and good but I wouldn’t exactly be that obsessed with them. I maybe a huge fan of Led Zeppelin but I’m not that obsessed with the band. If Led Zep do or say bad things, I’m not gonna smile at everything they do as I even think Robert Plant  is an asshole sometimes, I’ll admit it.

Whenever other celebrities bash Justin Bieber like say Patrick Carney of the Black Keys for example, the Beliebers will start attacking that celeb by sending him/her death threats and all that stuff.

No matter how many times Justin Bieber gets in trouble in his life, his Beliebers will back him no matter the situation. He could continue to piss in public places and throw eggs at peoples homes, those Beliebers will still love him. They even stayed loyal to him through all this drunk drag racing stuff. It doesn’t matter what Biebs does. He could take out a knife and stab someone or rob a bank and those Beliebers will still love him. Even if he committed murder and stuff like that, they would still love him. Even if Biebs says something offensive and if he harassed women… once again… they would still love him.

Biebs is always a trending topic on twitter… almost all of the time.

I never really understood the Bieber obsession, ya know? It’s all pretty moronic.

That’s the way fans are in this day and age of music I know but Bieber fans are a different story. If you think Bieber is bad, I think his fans are worse. They are almost like a cult.

Someday the Justin Bieber obsession by those kids will fade out when he gets older. By the time he reaches 30, I don’t think he’ll be doing pop music then and kids will no longer care for him when he’s older.

That’s kind of how fans were when the Beatles were young but Bieber fans today even make the Beatles look bad. Justin Bieber is NOT the Beatles of this generation, that’s for sure. I wish parents would teach their kids on what music artists to support and Justin Bieber shouldn’t be one of them. It’s just crazy. All of it. Despite Justin’s troubled life, he’s still doing the music thing ’cause he still have a lot of fans.

I hate the way the music industry is today. The music industry used to be something special in the 50’s, 60’s, and 70’s but today??? Blech. I can’t stand all that manufactured and auto-tuned pop shit myself. Back in the 50’s, 60’s, and 70’s, there was none of that auto-tuned and lip syncing bullshit. I don’t see the music industry getting better anytime soon. It’ll continue to get worse each year.

Thoughts on the upcoming State of the Union address w/ Obama…

9 Comments

So Barack Obama is finally having another State of the Union Address this year. I thought I would give out my brief thoughts on this.

Yes, I would probably watch it but I know that all Obama is gonna do is spew out a bunch of lies,  talk a bunch of bullshit, and play innocent victim on everything like he usually would on all of his speeches.

I think Obama will address a lot of things such as Obamacare, of course which the whole address will probably be mostly about that and also I’m sure he will be all over NSA/spying controversy. Maybe he will talk some about Snowden as well.

Of course, I’m sure he will neglect a lot of serious topics like Benghazi, Operation: F&F, drones, etc. I’m sure he would bring Benghazi up a little bit but chances are he’s going to continue to lie about Benghazi and make claims he will go after those responsible for the attack (when the real attacker is the man standing at the podium speaking to a room full of politicians).  He’ll defend Hillary Clinton about it too.

I’m probably gonna end up watching it. It’s probably gonna be the same usual bullshit from Obama. I wouldn’t be surprised if Obama would get a few hecklers from the audience during the address. Maybe he’ll get some boos too.

It’s going to be interesting to say the least. Obama haven’t had many State of the Union addresses like maybe 4 or 5 I think? He’s not everyone’s favorite President in government anymore so you can betcha that a lot of Senators, House members, and other government officials are not gonna be happy watching the Obama speech especially all the Republicans in there.
