Things everyone knows, but you aren't supposed to admit

Justice is the only great album Metallica ever recorded. Prove me wrong.

Agreed, but it's already been looked at and the conclusion was that we do shots of vodka because of the lack of really good European schnapps available here.

I quite enjoy the flavour of gin.

Shots of vodka are for trying to reach a certain goal, not about sipping a fine bourbon or tequila on warm patio.

How do you propose we quantify the greatness of an album?

Between this statement and the people who don't like Rush, I'm not sure who is trolling and who is just mistaken. 

I can't prove you wrong, all I can do is shake my head and feel sad for you. Or I can assume that you just don't like the bass guitar.

The only recipe for a good martini is two ounces of cheap bourbon, then some coca cola.

Metallica is a legendary band that isn't making legendary music anymore, but they get a pass, pretty much no matter what.  The black album may have been there last great album from start to finish, but they've done some really great stuff since then. Whiskey in the jar, stone cold crazy, and hero of the day of the day are three of my favorite metallica songs, all post black album.

Rush and van Halen are mediocre. Pink Floyd sucks. 

2 of those 3 you posted are covers too lol

HDTV doesn't actually look better. It just looks shinier and more directly lit.

I'd suggest a trip to your eye doctor. 

I was going to say isn't that what makes it look better?

Blasphemy!!

Well, ok. Some of their stuff isn't really very good but some is genius. Complicated layers that are disguised as simple.

Most Pink Floyd stuff makes sense when you're crazy.

Most of us should be doing the job they're currently paying us for instead of updating this thread.

No one is neutral on the subject  of Ted Nugent.

I once watched the wall while tripping.  Made perfect sense. 

However, none of their stuff makes any sense sober.

I think we can all agree that Nick Mason has an awesome car collection.  I remember dating a girl once who's uncle was big into a cable company.  He was once neighbors to one of the "Floyds" in England and his basic comment was you don't want to live next to a rock star.

I've been thinking about this all day- Metallica needs to retire. They haven't made a 100% solid album since black album, and they've been straight out awful since Hetfield blew out his voice and then got sober. 

As a die hard fan of St. Anger, I can say I agree with you. They can still play as well and fast as ever, but the music lacks the anger and drive of the early stuff. 

Die hard fan...of saint anger? Like.....open snare invisible kid saint anger? You're the first one I've ever heard of. 

Saint anger - he never gets any respect.

Dig what you dig. I love the whole thing, start to finish. When my first copy got trashed, I did not hesitate to go out and buy another. I know a few others who like it, but not many. 

I'm not trying to bag on you, I'm just legitimate surprised. It's like finding a gnr fan that ranks the spaghetti incident above appetite. I liked the title track, and loved the video (especially the dude that was rocking out with his fake leg) but the rest of it...I just couldn't.

Good man! Carver was one of my favorite locals when I still lived there. They have a barrel aged gin that was unreal. We did a barreling program with them when I was still at flat earth  

Gin actually has almost no taste at all, or a really awful taste in it's natural state.  Most of the flavors are added botanicals and such. Hendricks is the best Gin on the planet with Bombay Sapphire a close second.  The rest should be used to clean things.  

It wasn't a new Corvette I was looking at while you were driving, it was a short skirt and high heels.

Shots of vodka are definitely not about sipping bourbon or tequila. That's just observant right there.

Just because you don't know about or understand something you shouldn't make assumptions.

Along those lines, convertibles are fun about 10 days out of the year. 

WRONG! I enjoy the hell out of a convertible way more than that 

I live here in NY, don't drive my car 4 months out of the year, and still enjoy the top down more than 10 days a year. Hell, it's probably more than 10 days a month

My Miata has been insured since Friday. The top has been down so far 5/5 days. 

Parked in the garage and has yet to be driven???  

We all secretly suspect that Murano is Spanish/Italian for "moron".

Newborn babies are ugly. They're just blobs with eyes, and they all look the same. 

Monty Pythons Search for the Holy Grail is terrible.  It could “possibly” be amusing if it were an hour shorter but instead every gag is dragged out to near infinity.  

This work week has put me in a "Let the bodies hit the floor" kind of mood.
