  1. The original artwork on Appetite featured a girl with her pants around her ancles having just been raped.
  2. Yes, Bush was interviewed by a panel of public people and one child asked him what was going through his mind on September 11. He replied that he'd just seen the first plane fly into the tower and being a pilot himself thought, "There's one bad pilot". Then he was whisked away into the classroom to read "My Pet Goat" with the children.

  4. i wanted to be rich. Fat chance, I've absolutely no talent.
  5. Ah, it was Mayhem's frontman Dead who committed suicide. His note simply read "Excuse all the blood". The ammunition was supplied by Varg Vikernes (Count Grishnak of Burzum). His body was discovered by Aarseth who, instead of calling the police, ran to a nearby corner shop and bought a disposable camera which he used to photograph the corpse for a future Mayhem album cover (Dawn of the Black Hearts). Apocryphal reports also claim that he then took some pieces of Dead's splattered brains and made a stew out of them and/or members of the band took bone fragments from their friend's skull and made necklaces out of them. Later, Vikernes killed Aarseth in Aarseth's home, stabbing him 23 times, although Vikernes claims that Aarseth fell on broken glass while running from him and that he really stabbed him only 4 or 5 times.
  6. Talking of emulators. Amiga Forever is a fantastic emulator and most Megademos, games and public domain are available for free on the web. Was playing PP Hammer and Another World the other day. Even classics like the New Zealand Story and Rick Dangerous still look cool.
  7. Buggers! The clown on the front of the Acid Bath cover was painted by JW Gacy. I watched a documentary on him. He was seriously disturbed. By the way, you gave me an ace idea for a thread. Cheers! (see Most Controversial Album Covers.) Your not just a pretty face. I think Rachel is a nice name.
  8. My top ten would be 1] Brujeria - Matando Gueros 2] Iron Maiden - Women in Uniform 12" (featuring Maggie Thatcher being murdered) 3] Guns 'n' Roses - Appetite for Destruction 4] Metallica - Load 5] Acid Bath - When the Kite String Pops 6] Blind Faith - Blind Faith 7] Cannibal Corpse - Butchered at Birth 8] Chumbawamba - Anarchy 9] Paris - Sonic Jihad 10] Depression - Depression What would yours be? Remember not to post any covers which controvene the terms and conditions of this bulletin board.
  9. Yeah, I hate clowns. I do like Acid Bath though!
  10. My Grandad was half Italian and half Irish. I love Guiness, Pasta and Pizza.
  11. How come Bush managed to watch the first plane hit the towers on 11 September. The tape was never shown until 12 September. Unless he watched it on a secure link from the CIA. If so, someone must have known it was about to happen. Knowing Bush would have been a target and that he was in a public place, shouldn't his security have taken him to safety? I really think the administration knew and let 11 September happen. Otherwise, nothing makes sense.
  12. depends what you want. try the reviews in the latest PC Format mag, they are very imformative. Buy from dabs.com
  13. DAMN!! Yeah, well that was a type-o, not an intentional misspelling.
  14. 20-30. What difference does that make? No it's not. It is my opinion. But if you can't think of a better way to be dismissive' date=' fair enough!? No it doesn't. Don't talk such utter pish.
  15. It is a beautiful country. It is much cleaner than the UK and much much warmer. Unfortunately, most US Americans I have met are loud and obnoxious. I have yet to meet a nice American who doesn't think the USA is the best Country in the world. However, it would be ignorant of me to say this of all US Americans. Silly things I hate about the USA are: Its habit of calling Britain "England" Its misspelling of words. dropping the letter U and substituting Z for the letter S The way US American tourists call Canterbury Cathedral "Quaint" Its habit of putting everything into BrandName form, like 9/11 Its kidnap and recolouring of Father Christmas from Green to Red and White to suit the Coca-Cola company advertising Serious thing I hate about the USA are: Its Governments propaganda campaign against its own people Its threatening behaviour against nations across the globe Its continued development of Nuclear Weapons against the Test Ban Treaty Its unfettered support for the State of Israel Its sickening exploitation of the 11 September attacks to promote its ambition towards "Full Spectrum Dominance" and preserve the Pax Americana etc.
  16. I like the USA as a country. Most of it's people I despise.
  17. You won if he place any pocketed-balls onto the table before the white went in. If he'd just taken them out the pocket, then he won... according to my rule book. Cha.
