Metallica rockin’ it out at BlizzCon. Trujillo is awesome. Could live without the Hammett guitar solo.

Iron Maiden – The Number Of The Beast

Another great tune by the amazing Y&T. Still sounding fantastic after all these years. Dave Meniketti’s voice still sounds awesome.

What a great fucking band this was. Amazing singer….amazing guitars etc etc. Never quite understood how this band avoided being one of the biggest bands of the 80s. It wasn’t from a lack of talent and kick ass fucking tunes. That’s for sure.

Forgot how fuckin good this song was. Too bad it was damn near the only thing worth while they released.

“Then they summoned me over to join in with them
To the dance of the dead
Into the circle of fire I followed them
Into the middle I was led
As if time had stopped still I was numb with fear
But still I wanted to go
And the blaze of the fire did no hurt upon me
As I walked onto the coals….”
Iron Maiden-Dance of Death.

Nothing says “Funk” like Infectious Grooves and that has to be heavily attributed to one of the most amazing bass players out there…Robert Trujillo. I have to be honest….when I heard he was joining Metallica I was happy for him for the success aspect (he definitely is well deserving of all the success he gets) but very disappointed from a listener’s view due to the fact that his amazing talent would be wasted in such a band. If you want to hear some seriously funky ass fuckin’ bass being played by one of the best out there then check out his work with Infectious Grooves baby.

Stop Funk’N With My Head

Hey hey hey somebody’s always funk’n with your head
No matter where you go you know you just can’t stop people
from funk’n with your head
I was hanging around wasn’t making no sound then you
come on down but you say that thing to me
With your runny nose and your out-of-date clothes and you still are
playing with G.I. Joes so stay away from me

(Chorus:)
So why you fu why you fu fu funk’n why you funk’n with my head
Hey hey hey somebody’s always funk’n with my head
No matter where I go I know
I just can’t stop people from funk’n with my head

You got your attitude and you’re getting crude and you’re
thinking you’re rude
But you just ain’t got she with me
And you ain’t got a clue and you smell like pu and you can’t even
Walk with your size 20 shoes so step away from me

(Chorus)

Funk it up
Can’t you hear what I just said stop that funk’n with my head

Hey hey hey somebody’s always funk’n with my head
No matter where I go I know
I just can’t stop people from funk’n with my head
Hey hey hey hey hey hey hey watch the funk’n with my head
Don’t matter what you know don’t matter what you show doesn’t matter
Where you come
or where you’re gonna go when you’re funk’n with my head

(Chorus)

Nothing made me feel better when I was having a really bad time while growing up like listening to songs that made me either feel that there was someone else out there that was worse off than what I was at that time. I never reached that point of wanting to cash it all in. Listening to songs like this made me realize how much I enjoyed living regardless of the struggling situations and hardships in which I found myself growing up.  Thanks to all the Metal and Punk bands out there that helped me through the rough patches. There were a lot. Suicyco For Life!!!

How Will I Laugh Tomorrow (When I Can’t Even Smile Today)

Here I sit and watch my world come crumbling down
I cry for help but no one’s around
Silently screaming as I bang my head against the wall
It seems like no one cares at all

Always an emotion, but how can I explain; how can I explain?
Kind of like the scent of a rose, with words I can’t explain, the same with my pain
Caught up in emotion, goes over my head; goes over my head!
Sometimes I got to think to myself is this life or death, am I living or am I dead

The clock keeps ticking, but nothing else seems to change
Problems never solved, just rearranged
And when I think about all the times that I’ve had
Some were good most were bad

I search for personality and I look for things I cannot see
Love and peace flash through my mind; pain and hate is all I find
Find no hope in nothing new and I never had a dream come true
Lies and hate and agony; through my eyes that’s all I see

If I’m gonna cry, will you wipe away my tears?
And if I’m gonna die, Lord please take away my fear
Before I drown in sorrow, I just want to say;
How will I laugh tomorrow, when I can’t even smile today

Today today; when I can’t even smile today
Today today; when I can’t even smile today
How will I laugh tomorrow, when I can’t even smile today
How will I laugh tomorrow, when I can’t even smile today

You think it’s so funny…
…laugh at this!

So when I look outside my room
I see the world, but not the reason
What is done to me is not fair
You call it fair I call it treason
But I don’t know what to do
Give me a sign I’ll take whatever
But if you want me here I am
Ain’t gonna die forever

And I tried to hold ya
But you just turned away
And I tried to tell ya
But not a word I say
I cried out so loudly
But you just covered your ears
And gave me all the signs
That you don’t want my tears

So if you want me here I am
I sit and wait your decision
But my body fights my mind
I headed straight for a collision
So am I getting near or am I still
Looking in all the wrong places
But the only thing that seems to change
Are the looks on the faces…

Doesn’t anyone…seems like no one cares at all
I search for personality and look for things I cannot see
Does anyone even care at all?
Love and peace flash through my mind; pain and hate is all I find
Seems like no one cares at all
Find no hope in nothing new and I never had a dream come true
Does anyone even care at all?
Lies and hate and agony; through my eyes that’s all I see
Seems like no one cares at all

How will I laugh tomorrow?
How will I laugh tomorrow?
How will I laugh tomorrow?
How will I laugh tomorrow, when I can’t even smile today

Today today; when I can’t even smile today
Today today; when I can’t even smile today
How will I laugh tomorrow, when I can’t even smile today
How will I laugh tomorrow, when I can’t even smile today…

Great tune.

It isn’t Ozzy and Lita but I must say it isn’t a bad cover at all. Not too shabby.
