  1. $haron is milking the Sabbath/Ozzy legacy for every last molecule.....
  2. In Close Encounters of The Third Kind, there's a scene with a newspaper is shown on screen. Besides one story about the 'strange lights' there are a couple of articles about Star Wars. Not random gibberish - if you freeze the playback you can read them. It's just a couple of paragraphs.... but pretty cool.
  3. But seriously - can we ask him how he writes his parts? Like, how does he interact with Myung as the Rhythm Section when it comes to writing? Also, during his tenure has the bad ever written anything that started as a drum or a bass and drum part? Will Petrucci and Rudess alter sections or timing to allow his stuff to breathe or add to the overall flow of a part ? Also, as a band do they ever hang out and jam or improvise just for he hell of it? Or is their interaction as a band more about writing then rehearsing and playing the material? AKA: All business.
  4. What's it like having all that octopus DNA?
  5. F. Disguisted G. Titillated
  6. So that's what the alternate universe reboot of the franchise looks like. I'm surprised they didn't gender flip the bass player into a chick.
  7. Les Nessman is on the scene providing coverage....
  8. 90 grand for a ride with batteries that are only guaranteed for 8 years doesn't sound all that appealing, TBH. That's not a long time at all. Get that down to 50K and I'm interested. Maybe. Because charging availability on the road, and charging times still aren't there yet. LIke, If I'm going to drive 600 miles on a vacation trip, that's what, 2 charges minimum? How long does each take, and how vulnerable am I sitting in some place for like an hour with few options for alternatives. I drive A LOT, and getting stuck somewhere is my biggest fear. The tech and prices have to get better before the average person will buy into this promising stuff. I'm going to try to squeeze as much life out of my current 3 year old ride as I can.... and in 5 years look to get a hybrid.
  9. I read something last year that said the margin on the typical product is on average 75% of the cost of said product. Up from 7-15% in the 80's and 90's. So yeah, milk us to pay the shareholders. f**k that. And don't even get me started on 'subscriptions'. Like... BMW wanting a monthly fee to enable features in their vehicles... in perpetuity. Just one example.
  10. X wing versus Viper. Which was the better design?
