| Man I can't WAIT to pirate this shit!
j/k. Hopefully they'll get back to some roots, even though I can honestly say I can find something I like from their whole catalog, listened to a bit of And Justice/Black yesterday, and today I've been looping, back to back, "Turn the Page" and "Whiskey in the Jar".
Black album has a really special place in my life. When our family got our new house when I was like 12-13, we wanted to plant grass in the back, but it was just shitty, gravelly dirt out back, way to rocky for grass to grow. I got the task of digging up the first 18" of top soil, sorting out any rock bigger than a golf ball, and trash canning it. Whole damn summer, every weekend, 5 hours a day, for probably 9 weeks, bumped that album on repeat all day long. Was always too tired to do anything, so the money I was getting for it piled up fast. First and last CD I ever ruined through playing. My mom woke up to "Enter Sandman" at 8AM for 9 weeks of Sats & Sundays. I learned and sang along to all of it, but my dad wouldn't do shit except the "YEAH-YEAH" before the "Nothing Else Matters" solo, and no matter what he was doing, drop it, throw up the horns, and loud as fuck "YEAH-YEAH". Still funny as shit.
The trash men became to loathe us, because every trash day, we had 2 55 gallon drums full of rocks, 100lbs+ easy, every time. |
