For those of you following this blog

I’m using a new one over at Tumblr. Here’s a link:

http://hypnobunny.tumblr.com/

I’ll still be updating here though, so keep checking! Sorry about the lack of updates during the summer though. Trips and band practice have really been taking up a lot of my time, so I’m very sorry.

I’m in English right now, and don’t give a fuck!

So yeah, I realized today that I haven’t made any posts anywhere in quite a while. Not here, not tumblr, not a forum, nothing. Just Facebook. So, today I’m pretty much going to list a bunch of random bullshit that I’ve been doing since I last posted.

#1 – The Band

Yeah. We’re being awesomesauce.

#2 – Pokemon Online

Kicking so much ass with my all bug team! Using the /tr/ 4chan server, so… Yeah. Will put up my team later.

#3 – Tacos

You know how tacos are really awesome and delicious? Yeah, well I’m sticking to soft shells from now on. Tried eating a taco a while back and the fucker shanked the roof of my mouth. I have now confirmed that tacos have the same thought patterns as prison inmates. They gain your trust by acting all awesome, but then, when you least expect it, they fucking stab you.

#4 – My Girlfriend Dumped Me

Reason why this is here on my list is because I don’t give a damn. Moving on.

#5 – Skate 2

Awesome videogame. Even more awesome online. Not enough to say about it besides “Skating and crashing” though, so no review.

That’s all I can think of, plus I’m probably switching classes soon. I’ll try to post more frequintly, guys, sorry for being so slow. Also, if you haven’t done so yet, go to my tumblr which is linked on the stickied post up top. So much stuff there.

“Avenged Sevenfold” Review

Hello fellow followers. Adam is here with another review. This time, however, I will be typing a review for the band “Avenged Sevenfold” commonly referred to as A7X. A7x is a band I would classify as hard rock though others may think of them as more of a metal band.

They mostly sing but have about one or two songs every album of screaming. I personally love their screaming myself. Unfortunately after their first album, the lead singer, M. Shadows, lost his voice and had to have surgery. The entire first album was nothing but screaming and the doctor told him that if he didn’t stop that he would lose his voice. So, now he just sings mostly. Recently, A7X’s drummer and back up vocalist, The Rev, died. He, like any other great rock star, died of a drug overdose. He had wrote many of A7X’s songs including Fiction, recently released on their brand new album “Nightmare”, and A Little Piece of Heaven. They had to replace him with a temporary drummer, Mike Portney, the drummer from the band Dream Theater. He finished recording the Nightmare album and is currently finishing their tour with the band Disturbed. In fact, my best friend is going to see them tomorrow. Avenged Sevenfold and Disturbed is a good combination. Oh, and for anyone who cares, Disturbed’s new album just came out today.

Now that you know some of Avenged Sevenfold’s history, let’s talk about their actual music. Like I said earlier, A7X’s first album was nothing but scream. I didn’t really like that album but it was before they had three of their best band members yet. The second album is when they started singing and they got big fast. Everyone loved them after they started singing and they just kept getting more popular and popular. The band members are M. Shadows – Vocals, Johnny Christ – Bassist, Zacky Vengence – Guitarist, Sinister Gates – Guitarist, and the recently deceased The Rev – Drummer and Vocalist.

M. Shadows loves throwing his voice into different tones and sounds while singing. I think that this is one of the many reasons that make them so good. Others, however, don’t like this way of singing, therefore not liking A7X. Some good songs t listen to get a good representation of the band is Bat Country, Nightmare, Afterlife, and Welcome to the Family. These are all popular songs but I feel these sum up the band the best. I like all their songs though. IN fact, I have 42 songs by them on my iTunes. And that isn’t all the songs I would like to have. I’m just too lazy to go get them. Definitely gets a five out of five here. I highly recommend this band.    Cya later,     Adam

A simple argument…

What exactly is Cait Sith? The argument begins...

Hypno: Cait Sith is a cat

Chipper: No, he’s a moogle.

Hypno: No, he’s a fucking robot cat
Chipper: He’s a moogle.

Hypno: *pulls out quote from Final Fantasy wiki*

Chipper: Damn, I guess he is a cat.

CAIT SITH IS A GODDAMN CAT.
That is all.

Sam and Max

(This post was brought here from my Tumblr blog)

Damn, a hearty thanks to tumblrbot for asking me about my earliest memory. Seriously, he made me think, and when I thought back the first thing to pop into my head was:

Sam and Max!

Yes, Sam and Max. This game is my earliest childhood memory, and I must have been like three or four years old. I did some searching, considering that I haven’t played any of the games since back then, and it was this game in particular:

Fuck yeah! Hittin' the road!

Seeing screen shots from this game brought memories flying through my head like I never could have imagined. The main thing that popped into my head though was the name “Snucky’s”. Low and behold, it was an actual location in the game. A small restaurant mimicking the actual “Stucky’s”.

Now... to click here, and do this...

So yeah, here’s your little bit of nostalgia for today. Hope you all remember this psychotic game as much as I do, and if you don’t… Find it. Find it and play it. Seriously.

Watched Livestreamed art today

http://www.livestream.com/torri

Been watching this artist on Livestream. They’re playing Fallout right now, and I’m watching I guess. Awesome artwork though. Here’s the pic:

PIC IS AWESOME

Yep.

Anyway, I’ve been playing me some L4D2 on my laptop, so add me on Steam or whatever. Name’s conflictk. I’m not that good at it IMO, but… meh. I usually always come in third or fourth for total kills XD

Here’s Dusty’s blog:

Well, that’s it for today I guess, unless of course something FAMTABULOUS comes up, which I doubt.

Peace,

Summer!

Yeah, it’s not as exciting as the title looks. Summer job no vacation, going to be missing a lot of my friends who just graduated. On the upside, I’ll have a hella lot of time to work with my band (when I’m off work).

Yep, working at Blimpy’s is going to be great! *sarcasm* My mom works at the Fast Track next door though, so free cigarettes for me! Making subs isn’t that hard though, but I’ll have to get over my fear of cash registers (completely serious here, I’m afraid of those… those… things).

So yeah… Commenters put up your summer plans!

I regret to inform you all…

A short post will have to do for now… One of the best bassists this world has ever seen has been taken from us today. Paul Gray AKA Pig AKA #2 of Slipknot has died and the face of rock will be forever scarred by this loss. He was an inspiration to all fans, and his name is sure to live on in the book of rock. We will miss you #2…

R.I.P: Paul Gray

Music Review : Marilyn Manson

Band Members:

Vocalist – Marilyn Manson

Guitarist – Twiggy Ramirez

Bassist – Andy Gerold

Drummer – Ginger Fish

Keyboardist – Chris Vrenna

Marilyn Manson (named after the pseudonym of the front man and lead vocalist Brian Warner), is an American Rock band first founded as Marilyn Manson & The Spooky Kids in 1989. They changed it soon after, before being signed to Nothing Records (Trent Reznor’s label). The main things that stand out in his works are the grotesque and macabre imaging that he uses with his words and music videos, and in our generation it comes to no surprise that his fan-base is up in the millions.

Now, there are many who would say that Marilyn Manson is simply to vulgar/strange/horrific to be allowed to perform on stage or even to be able to put out music, but to us fans he is a huge inspiration to our lives. Yes, he may use some explicit viewpoints within his works, but Mr. Warner and his colleagues are the revolutionary minds that we need to change this world for the better. Their lives have been tormented to the point that they no longer feel that they should respect what society claims is normal, but what is “normal” anyway?

Not to stray from the music in this review, let me say that the guitar, bass keyboards, and drum beats within this band’s songs considerably blend with the vocals to the point of neatness. You can almost hear the work which they put forth into the music they have written, which I must applaud. Such order driven into a macabre state is nothing less than perfection in my eyes, and it gives the same feel as the music that we find in the works of Tim Burton’s films (The Nightmare Before Christmas to be more specific).

The vocals are easy to follow, and to give an example let’s take a look at their song Dope Hat:

I peek into the hole, I struggle for control
The children love the show,
but they fail to see the anguish in my eyes
Fail to see the anguish in my eyes
I scratch around the brim, I let my mind give in
The crowd begins to grin,
but they seem to scream when darkness fills my eyes
Seem to scream when darkness fills my eyes, it’s no surprise
Fail to see the tragic, turn it into magic
My big top tricks will always make you happy,
but we all know the hat is wearing me
My bag is in the hat, it’s filled with this and that
My vision’s getting fat, the rabbit’s just a monkey in disguise
Skulls and pills and needles dance before our eyes
They will bite the hand if it is slower than
the quickness of their scrutinizing eyes
Fail to see the tragic, turn it into magic
My big top tricks will always make you happy,
but we all know the hat is wearing me
Chicanery will always make you happy,
but we all know the hat is wearing me

Indeed, there is much metaphorical meaning within the lyrics of this song, but that is another thing which can be admired in Marilyn Manson’s works. Much of their pieces contain wording which is left for the listener to interpret, which can bring much into our thought processing.

Still, no matter how you look at it, these individuals are very talented and gifted, and do not deserve many of the labels put upon them by the media and society. This listener gives them a 10/10 for the amusement which Marilyn Manson has placed into our stereos and headphones. Thank you Brian Warner, Jeordie White, Kenny Wilson, Chris Vrenna,  and Andy Gerold. Thank you for being there for the fans, and always giving us music which we can and will enjoy for years to come.

Special thanks to former members Tim Skold, Stephen G. Bier Jr., John W. Lowery, Timothy M. Linton, Scott M. Putesky, Frederick Streithorst Jr.,  Bradley Stewart, Brian Tutunick, Perry Pandrea, and Wesley L. Borland.

After all the shit that went down at dinner theater, I still have to show some respect to the ones that didn’t cause any trouble. Bradley has an amazing voice, and here he is with Ain’t Too Proud to Beg.
