I just love the cellshade! Sure, it´s cartoony but when playing the exact same fairytale for the eleventh time... what´s better than making it look like a kid´s acrtoon as well?

Nah. But the current version of Peter Quill/Starlord does. Just start with a huge budget trilogy version of Annihiliation without explaining anything about any character for the non-nerd audience.

New Zelda game announced för Wii U but no details yet. And a remake for Wii U of "The Wind Waker", IMO the second best Zelda game ever. (After "Ocarina of time" of course.) Bring em on!

Well, yeah, the Zelda part of Nintendoland is pretty damn good while most of the other minigames left me cold. But Skyward Sword was the only Wii game that I really loved together with Mario Galaxy 1 and 2 so basically, I just want the new Mario and Zelda games, everything else is gravy. Even got myself a 3DS just to play Ocarina of Time again, still one of the best games ever.

A new GOOD Metroid game wouldn´t hurt either. But with 3rd party support this time around I´m pretty excited about just about everything except the control itself. That will probably get old very soon.

Got one for xmas. A new Mario game always brings out the sucker in me. And Zombie U is brilliant as well. Having a lot of fun with those, but wonder just how much the control actually makes sense. I barely use it at all in Mario, but the game itself is awesome. For Zombie U, it´s basically the worst light gun ever, but I love it anyway. Now bring on Bayonetta 2!

Sooooo... this expansion is Xbox only? Bastards! I´m completely out of things to do in Skyrim. For the PS3.

What´s a hipster? Hippie that longs for the old days with Napster?

And the Boondock Saints rule, dammit! Well, the first one did.

Go fist yourself.

 

NICE!

 

Go fist yourself in your gaping, canyon of an ***hole.

 

How's that?

Strangely comforting actually.

I like the Irish.

1. They look much worse than Swedes, giving me a head start.

2. They hate the English which is amusing.

3. They´re always drunk and looking for a fight, a reasonable way to go through life.

4. Boondock Fraking Saints!

5. They don´t mind buying a Guinness or Jameson or something else when drunk enough, i e most of the time.

6. Phillip Parris Lynott!

On the downside, there´s U2, Dropkick Murphys and yeah, all those Irish themes punk bands (who all seem to hail from Boston) are horrible. And green beer is a bad idea, but that´s only wannabe Irishmen who desecrate beer like that. Pour green paint into Guinness and it´s still black.

I´m sure Phil would have reminded those Syrians that this is the toughest street in town and that they don´t stand a chance if they go down in Chinatown. To you and me, he´s a renegade. (Which btw is a criminally underrated song, I named by first company after it!)

And yes I had to bump this. Because politics are boring unless coupled with Lizzyness.

I feel an upcoming book: "The Thin Lizzy Code".

"Cowboy song" is quite obviously a prophecy about George W Bush.

And the line "Me, I went to the liquer store" in "King´s call" happened to me just last night!

Not to mention that Phil would spam all the boring serious political threads saying Don´t believe me if I tell you, not a word of this is true... Or maybe that he´d be Standing in the shadows of love... waiting for you. Don´t unzip your zipper cuz you know I´m Jack the Ripper.

Well, "Black rose" is one of my fave Lizzy albums (along with the predictable "Jailbreak" and the underrated "Johnny the fox") but I see what you mean. The twin guitar attack started after Gary left the second time. (He was in the band replacing Eric Bell in 1973, recorded one single, "Little darling"/"Buffalo gal" plus the guitar solo for "Still in love with you".) And it ended when he came back, there´s no way in hell he´d play along with anyone. He couldn´t even do it if he tried, Gary Moore is one of the very few players who is instantly recognizable. Probably has something to do with being lefthanded but playing like he was a rightie.

Plus that Lizzy could and should only have one star, Phil. The dvd from Sydney 1979 is almost parodic when Phil and Gary try to upstage each other all the damn time.

Aw shucks!

My answer would be Robbo. And yeah, his first exit was after punching a light post in a fight - it probably deserved it anyway - and wrecking his hand. Then after really getting the boot he moved to Motörhead where he was prompty deemed a wimp. Robbo actually lives in Stockholm now and often shows up at the annual "King´s call" on Phil´s death day Jan 4th. Usually too drunk to play.

I´m not counting the three times Gary Moore was in the band for about 15 minutes per try (plus the original Skid Row). Who started each the five thousand fights between him and Phil was just anyone´s guess...

He would, of course, support your right to hate his music...

And then send Robbo over to smash his face in...

If Phil were alive today, he´d be drunk. I think we could all learn a lesson from him. Like that Parris is actually a guy´s name and spelled with two Rs.

"Final cut" has a nice gloom-and-doom feeling to it, I simply find it totally lacking in the songwriting department. "Lapse of reason", yeah it definitely has some good songs, and it IS the sound I can´t get into. Not sure I would call it industrial, more like flat. Bit of the same as Dire Straits had on "Brothers in arms", it sounds completely lifeless for lack of a better word.

"Division bell" however is the one I really dislike. To me, it´s just a rehash of old ideas and the old Floyd-sound without capturing the magic. "High hopes" is quite frankly the only song I remember from it. Maybe it´s because I don´t like background music, which is a good description. I want music to grab me by the balls and twist them. In a good way.

I wish my copies were unplayed. Not in a collector´s way, more like in a "Highlander 2" way.

For a while, sure they could have continued in than wein. And pretty much did. The transition from psychedelia would likely have happened anyway, it did for just about every other band of the era. I really like Syd´s "The madcap laughs" which I guess could be classified as some kind of post-psychedelia, it would have been very interesting to hear that material with a real band (i e Floyd).

Ah well, it´s all a moot point since Syd´s mental health made it all impossible. Anyway, I would have preferred just about anything over "Division bell", damn that album puts me to sleep!

Well, as stated, Waters was already there and Gilmour arrived before Syd was finally out on his arse. Though I actually think that Syd was as fine a guitar player in his own way. And he did allow the other guys to write as well, so I don´t see a problem there.

Though my main point is really that I want another song as weird, mysterious and downright scary as "Astronomy Domine".

I always wonder what would have happened if Di'Anno and Barrett had stayed in the bands. We certainly wouldn't be discussing them like this, thats for sure. Still I think both bands would have been influential to the whole system, but not to the extent they are.

I actually like Di´Anno era Maiden and Syd era Floyd more than the later stuff from both.

But seriously, Maiden wouldn´t have become as big as with Dickinson while Floyd probably would have done just as fine with Syd still in the band - if he hadn´t gone off the deep end like he did, obviously. A band like Floyd isn´t as dependent on a dynamic front man as the average metal band is.

Nothing from "Amused to death"? I love that album...

Piper at the gates of dawn. It´s very different from everything that came later, but I just love the quirky sound on that album.
