Punk rock to thrash metal: 'Institutionalized'


After the umpteenth lineup change, ST in 2024
Suicidal Tendencies is an American punk rock crossover thrash metal band formed in 1980 [5] in Venice Beach (Los Angeles), California, by vocalist [wannabee white gang member/bike clubber] Mike Muir.

Punk? I'm a one-man cult of personality for ca$h
The band [could be called a one-hit wonder with "Institutionalized" on MTV that] has undergone various lineup changes, with Muir as the only remaining original member. [Got ego?]

Their current lineup includes Muir, guitarists Dean Pleasants and Ben Weinman, bassist Tye Trujillo, and drummer Jay Weinberg.

And it all started with this 1983 crossover album

Notable musicians who have contributed to the band's studio and/or live activities include:
  • guitarists Rocky George and Mike Clark;
  • bassists Louiche Mayorga, Bob Heathcote, Robert Trujillo, Ra Díaz, Josh Paul, and Stephen "Thundercat" Bruner; and
  • drummers Amery Smith, Jimmy DeGrasso, Brooks Wackerman, David Hidalgo Jr., Thomas Pridgen, Ron Bruner, Eric Moore, [Slayer's] Dave Lombardo, Brandon Pertzborn, Greyson Nekrutman, and session musician Josh Freese.
It's punk/thrash, but is it hardcore enough?
Along with D.R.I., Corrosion of Conformity, and Stormtroopers of Death, Suicidal Tendencies is often credited as one of "the fathers of crossover thrash" [6, 7, 8]. They have released 14 studio albums... More: Suicidal Tendencies

Slayer then and now: true crime, new band

HawKNLoaD, Sept. 1, 2022; Bradley Hall,  Feb. 13, 2024; Seth Auberon, Pfc. Sandoval, Crystal Quintero (eds.), Wisdom Quarterly

Slayer and the disturbing case of Elyse Pahler | true crime documentary
(HawKNLoaD) Elyse Pahler, 15, was lured out of her home by three boys, Slayer fans, she knew from school. She met up with them a quarter mile from her house, in a secluded location. Her young killers believed that the virginal sacrifice of a blond, blued girl to Satan would be the ultimate sin against God and the Devil would, in turn, grant them musical ability, fame, and fortune. But all it brought was paranoia, guilt, and horrific tragedy.

In jail we thought the Aryan Brotherhood would treat us like kings, but they don't like sex crimes.

A band, a catharsis, it was all just fun and games, music to scream along to, until someone took it seriously as advice on how to behave in the human world. The world of demons, that's understandable, but on the human plane, the behavior of these horny white teens -- overcome with greed for fame and riches and lust for dames and b*****s -- it's unthinkable.

These are acts of the unspeakable. Do we blame rap, do we blame rock, do we blame the blues? All give rise to unskillful emotions. Is thrash, black metal (Satanic speed metal), or gruesome music about being a murderous soldier of a special kind of badness? And why do Beavis and Butt-Head like this famous band?

The band was broken up, the nightmare was almost over (I guess it never really is when a child is dead), but now one of the members has reformed. See review below.

"Post Traumatic Blues" (Corey Taylor)

Corey Taylor; LoudwireGenius lyrics; Seth Auberon, CC Liu (eds.), Wisdom Quarterly
Don't yell at me, Mom, or I might grow up to be a famous nu-metal vocalist.

Suddenly stoned and sour Corey Taylor remembered he was also in Slipknot. Here in his new solo project song where he combines the sound of both bands. Eh, Slipknot's Corey is better.

White metal-rapper, angry poet, who can know what Corey's thinking?

LYRICS: "Post Traumatic Blues"
I don't wanna be buried in a hole when I die
I wanna be carried in a jar with the ashes and lies
And when I break my stained-glass-media heart
I'll smile as I tear it apart

So don't panic, the pillar is here
Another in a line of heroes with nothing to fear
And a taste for the hardcore that comes with the common sense
Oh my gosh, we're in trouble again

We're in trouble again
We're in trouble again
One last stand

[CHORUS:] I'm warning you right now
I'm feelin' like a Sunday, I'll never get away
No one knows

Who's afraid of a king in a castle?
Another dirty face on a hundred dollar bill
I'll take what I thought I could never impossibly get
I'm living like I'm losing a bet
So don't worry, the future is here

Another contemplation to ration for over the years
I'm crossing your lines, pushing my way, deliberate
Borrow your time, take me away,
Did you borrow your time?
One last time

[CHORUS]

[Guitar Solo 1: Zach Throne]
[Guitar Solo 2: Christian Martucci]

Reciprocity
For all the ones to leave
Are you ready for one last war?

[CHORUS]

[Outro] One last time

"Yoga Hosers" w/ Glam-Thrax (free movie)

We were not inspired by Kevin Smith of all people, not at all. We love yoga for yoga.

Yoga Hosers (free movie with ads PG-13)
(YouTube Movies & TV) Here's a comedy about two teenage yoga enthusiasts who team up with a legendary man-hunter to battle with an ancient evil presence that is threatening their major party plans.

Yoga Hosers
is an American comedy-horror film written and directed by Kevin Smith. It is a spin-off of Smith's 2014 horror film Tusk and stars Smith's daughter Harley Quinn Smith, Lily-Rose Depp, and her dad, world-famous Johnny Depp.

It's the second film in Smith's True North Trilogy, which world premiered at the 2016 Sundance Film Festival.

PLOT: Colleen Collette and Colleen McKenzie are two 15-year-old girls who spend their days studying yoga with their guru, Yogi Bayer, and working an after-school job at a Manitoba, Canada, convenience store called "Eh-2-Zed."

They are also in a cover band called Glam-thrax with their tattooed 35-year-old drummer friend Ichabod. The two are invited to a party by popular senior Hunter Calloway, who is the object of Colleen M's affections.

The next day at school, the girls' history teacher informs the class that the Nazi Party once had influence in Winnipeg. Led by the self-proclaimed "Canadian Führer" Adrien Arcand and his right-hand man, Andronicus Arcane, the Canadian Nazis were once a great force of terror. Arcand was later arrested by Federal authorities, but Andronicus Arcane was never found. More

A7X 'We Love You' live Madison Square Garden


A7X conquer Madison Square Garden, NYC, Friday, June 23, 2023

(Saint Xero) Avenged Sevenfold's new "We Love You" is better as a lyrics video. than as a gimmicky 360 degrees music video. The song premiered May 12, 2023, from the album Life Is But A Dream... Thanks to A7X for all the music over the years; it used to suck a little, but now it's better.

Admit it. We all have to hand it to Brian and Matt, we mean Synyster Gates and M. Shadows. This is hardcore shiznit. This is somewhere between Slipknot and pop, and now that Slipknot has gone pop (Heard the new album?), they're almost the same.


How F***ED [flawed] is this new Avenged Sevenfold song? 😱

"Ashes in Your Mouth" (Megadeth + Dave)

Loudwire, Dave Mustaine; Seth Auberon, Pfc. Sandoval, CC Liu (eds.), Wisdom Quarterly

THIS WAS MY LIFE (LYRICS): It was just another day/ It was just another fight/ It was words strung into sentences/ It was doomed to not be right./ There is something wrong with me/ There is something wrong with you/ There is nothing left of us/ There is one thing I can't do.// Lying on your bed/ Examining my head/ This is the part of me that hates/ Paybacks are a bitch/ I throw the switch/ Somewhere an electric chair awaits.// Hey this was my life/ Hey this was my fate/ This was the wrong thing to do/ This was the wrong one to be doing/ This was the road to destiny/ This was the road to my ruin/ Now there's motives for the suspect/ Now there's nothing left to say/ Now there's method to the madness/ Now there's anxiety to pay.// Lying on your bed/ Examining my head/ This is the part of me that hates/ Paybacks are a bitch/ I throw the switch/ Somewhere an electric chair awaits.// Hey this was my life/ Hey this was my fate/ In our life there's "if"/ In our beliefs there's "lie"/ In our business there's "sin"/ In our bodies there's "die"/ This was my life/ This was my fate/ This was my life/ This was my fate.

Dave Mustaine Reflects on Countdown to Extinction
(Loudwire, July 14, 2022) Megadeth legend Dave Mustaine looks back on his greatest album, Countdown to Extinction, for its 30th anniversary this year.

"Ashes in Your Mouth"

ASHES IN YOUR MOUTH (LYRICS) People have round shoulders from fairing heavy loads/ And the soldiers liberate them, laying mines along their roads/ Sorrow paid for valor is too much to recall/ Of the countless corpses piled up along the wailing wall.// Melting down all metals, turning plows and shears to swords/ Shun words of the Bible, we need implements of war/ Chalk lines and red puddles of those who have been slain/ Destiny, that crooked schemer, says: "The dead shall rise again!"// Where do we go from here?/ And should we really care?/ The end is finally here/ God have mercy!// Now we've rewritten history/ The one thing we've found out/ Sweet taste of vindication/ It turns to ashes in your mouth.// Where do we go from here?/ And should we really care?/ The end is finally here/ God have mercy!// If you're fighting to live/ It's okay to die/ The answer to your question is:/ "Welcome to tomorrow!"/ Where do we go from here?/ God have mercy!// Where do we go from here?/ And should we really care?/ The end is finally here/ God have mercy!// Where do we go from here?/ And should we really care?/ The end is finally here/ God have mercy!/ Mercy, mercy, mercy, mercy

Slayer to play final show ever in LA (video)

Slayer; DownFall NetWork; Jim Bruer; Pfc. Sandoval, Seth Auberon (eds.), Wisdom Quarterly
A very knowledgeable fan leads us through the discography and autopsy-turvy history of Slayer.



(Joel Oaks) Slayer plays "Raining Blood" from the album Reign in Blood to an insane mosh pit in Edinburg, Texas on May 9, 2019 during their final world tour, "The Final Campaign," which wraps up for their final show ever in their hometown Los Angeles, California next weekend.

The final night, Nov. 30th, is at the Forum and is sold out. But tickets might still be available for the penultimate show with Pantera (now only Phil H. Anselmo), Ministry, and Primus. Will they ever return? Probably not.

Tom Araya and Kerry King
The guitarist (Jeff Hanneman) is dead, the drummer (Phil Lombardo) is gone, and singer Tom Araya says "Slayer's not Satanic" and never was. Slayer fans are admittedly Satanic stupid retarded moronic enthusiastic about the most hardcore thrash metal band ever. What is their best song, "Aggressive Perfector"? "Fight Till Death"? Everything on the Hell Awaits album? Their take on the Dead Kennedys' "Chemical Warfare"?

Thrash metal: "Murder in the Front Row"

Director/filmmaker Adam Dubin (mitfr.com); Steven Cuevas, "The Frame" (SCPR.org, 8/1/19); Seth Auberon, Pat Macpherson, Pfc. Sandoval (eds.), Wisdom Quarterly


Murder in the Front Row: The San Francisco Bay Area Thrash Metal Story (official trailer)
In the early 1980s a small group of dedicated Bay Area headbangers shunned the hard rock of MTV and Hollywood "hairspray bands."

Instead, they favored a more dangerous brand of punk-infused metal that became known as thrash.
    From the cassette tape-trading network to the clubs to the record stores and fanzines, director Adam Dubin reveals how the scene nurtured the music -- and that music spawned a movement.

    Murder in the Front Row: The San Francisco Bay Area Thrash Metal Story is told through powerful first-person testimony and stunning animation and photography.

    The film is a social study of a group of young people defying the odds and building something essential for themselves.

    Featuring interviews with Slayer, Metallica, Megadeth, Anthrax, Exodus, Testament, Death Angel, Possessed, and many more! Narrated by Brian Posehn of Mr. Show with Bob and David and The Sarah Silverman Show fame.

      The Frame's documentary film review
      Steven Cuevas, John Horn (scpr.org/programs/the-frame..., Aug. 1, 2019

      .
      The bands Metallica, Slayer, and Megadeth are household names these days — bonafide Grammy Award-winning rock stars. Such acclaim seemed inconceivable in the early 1980s when the bands were forging what came to be known as "thrash metal." Radio and MTV steered clear. But the feral, punk rock-inspired sound of thrash got a foothold in Northern California and became the epicenter of this metallic revolution. The new documentary Murder in the Front Row: The San Francisco Bay Area Thrash Metal Story by longtime Metallica and Beastie Boys collaborator Adam Dubin tells not only the story of the bands but of the many fans who created the D-I-Y (do it yourself) scene around them. "The Frame" contributor Steven Cuevas has the first-hand story. Yep, he was there. LISTEN TO THIS FRAME EPISODE
