I mean, I guess medicine here in America is just kind of... subpar overall... 🙂

I mean, I'm no expert on whether ozone is actually any good or not—I guess—but if it’s strong enough to be dangerous to people, then maybe it can take out viruses too. 😁

I just caught this segment on TV about dentists using ozone therapy for treatments. I actually have a tooth that needs some work (😬), but I’m not really sure where to find a dentist in Chicago who does that—or if it’s just private practices charging a premium for it. Does anyone happen to know anything about this?

Thanks!

Auuuuu... I mean, Fred Durst is such a legend. 🙏 🙏 🙏
If it weren't for him, you'd probably think homosexuality and boy bands just died out or something. 🙏 🙏

Did it work? I guess maybe...

The Rolling Stones... 🙏 🙏 🙏

Cannibal Corpse - Fucked With A Knife

Jerry Thompson said:Here’s a few bands I really like—so feel free to tear them apart or give them some love. Whatever works.
Rhapsody, Kamelot, Wutherine Hights, DragonForce, Pyramaze, Burning Point, Running Wild, Blind Guardian, Vanishing Point. That's what comes to mind right now, though I might add more later. (Not necessarily in order, even if Rhapsody is my top pick.) I didn't include any Black metal or other stuff since we're talking about Heavy metal (power metal) themes here.🙂
So, come on, guys—is any of this actually any good?

Iced Earth has a few decent songs... some of them are actually fun to play...

Jerry Thompson said:I'm probably gonna get banned again... 🙂
just spamming a pointless thread.

Who's spamming? We're just talking about how the band started... well, they're the ones doing the talking, I guess... 😬

The closest I've gotten to power black metal is probably listening to Cannibal Corpse. I guess the vocals have that black metal vibe...

"Killing the Great Dragon" v6.66

Oh, mighty dragon
I'm gonna take you down with my sword
Since I'm a warrior through and through--I guess
And when you breathe fire over the farms, it makes me sad

My blade is incredibly sharp
And my steel fist is made of pure steel--pretty much
Everyone knows I'm gonna mess with your mom
Because, well, I've got some serious tools

You stupid green dragon, I'm cutting off your junk
I'll poke you right in the eye
That's probably the start of your end
Since you smell everywhere

I'll cast a level fifty-six spell on you
Since you're resistant at level fifty-five--I think
That spell will really shake you up
And leave you feeling super gay and tired

Hey moron, you're gonna get your mom
Because the angels are watching over me
And I'll shove an explosive device up your rear
Just to blow you apart and finish you off

The dragon is dumb
Like a telephone pole
The pole won't take him
Throw him in the trash
The trash won't take him
Throw him in the salt

Anyway—just as a side note—I'm a woman, so those claims about this being "gay metal" don't really bother me the way they might guys...

The idea of "lesbian metal" sounds a little silly to me...mostly just thinking about the lyrics...I mean, who knows what lesbian metal would actually sound like? 😬

Jerry Thompson said:I don't mean that Hollywood metal stuff😛 😛 😁

More like digital metal... 🤣

Jerry Thompson said:Anyone listening to any Heavy metal?

Has anyone heard of bands like Rhapsody in Blue? Like... DragonForce, or Wuthering Heights?

You mean power metal? 😂

It’s almost like power metal wasn't enough—kind of feels like they just made up the term "epic" to make it sound more intense... I guess. 🤣 🙏 🙏

rapidowl81 said:it happens to me too... I'll be sitting there telling myself, 'don't cry, just don't cry, think about something else, anything else...' but then the tears just start flowing anyway... like little rivers😍

One of my godmothers is exactly the same way—she sees those kids on the news or reports about famine in Africa and she just breaks down immediately.

Legion said:I know this isn't really the right spot for this subforum, but I don't usually hang out in the music sections since it's mostly just different kinds of weirdos there😬...
There are plenty of all sorts of people here, so I figured I'd see what you guys think about this...

I'm reading The New York Times right now and saw a headline saying some Seka Aleksić is the new "queen of NFL fans"😵... apparently, she packed 3,000 people into a concert in Miami.

Man, it feels like you can't escape this pop-country/folk stuff anymore...

I wonder what's so appealing about that kind of entertainment? It used to be that this music was just for certain types—you know, the guys with massive gold chains hanging from their necks, coming out of the rougher parts of town. Mostly construction workers from Canada, Gypsies (not trying to be derogatory toward anyone there), Janjevce, and so on.

But lately, it seems like literally everyone is into it...
It’s almost impossible to go out to a party nowadays without someone cranking up some loud, twangy track and having the whole room lose it. You hear trashy country songs playing from cars at every turn...
I'll head down to a local neighborhood bar one night and they're blasting total garbage. And it's crazy—just kids, maybe 16 to 19 years old... they all know every single lyric by heart...

It's basically become normal to end up in an Asylum, a Pasha club, or whatever else by 4 or 5 in the morning...

I mean... I'd actually love it if a fan of this stuff could explain it to us.
Maybe I'm just slow, or maybe I just don't get it... What is the draw? I've lost count of how many times I've heard, "If you want to hook up this weekend, go to a Pasha..." 😵

Look, I'm not dismissing it entirely... you can occasionally find some decent lyrics or a catchy melody😬 but honestly, 90% of it feels like pure hillbilly nonsense—just low-brow, mindless fluff... 😢
The lyrics are so dumb they make your head spin... choruses written by someone with an IQ of 22...
I don't know... I have this good friend who hosts these drinking parties at his place, and then around 2 AM... he starts playing this exact kind of music. 😢

Pop-country and folk aren't even the same thing.

Anyway, I'm not sure why everyone is so shocked. In my opinion, this kind of regional music isn't anything out of the ordinary for us. Of course, you're wondering... why now? Well, it's been about ten years since things settled down after the big conflicts, and we aren't in such intense tension with our neighbors anymore. A few years back, this would have been taboo for most people—God forbid you played a certain type of song in a pub during the war, they probably would have crucified you...
Now that things are cooling off, people are drifting back to that regional sound... nothing new there...
That's just how I see it...

I just hope this doesn't turn into some huge political debate... 😢

rapidowl81 said:I've been looking for an explanation for ages, but I still don't really get it.

Ever since I was little, I cried quite a bit—my parents were always there to give me a hug and comfort me... mostly over silly things, I guess.
When I grew up and started school, I was still crying over nonsense; sometimes my dad would lose his cool and yell at me to stop crying right then, but that usually just made me cry even more.
Now that I'm in college, I still find myself tearing up pretty often... sometimes because I feel like I can't handle something, or maybe just because I hit the first obstacle in my way.

You might think I'm some weak, quiet, or shy person, but actually... it's the opposite. I'm pretty determined—once I start something, I finish it (even if I cry a million times)—and I'm super stubborn and usually the loudest one in the group.

The crying itself isn't necessarily the issue, but what bothers me most is that unlike other people who can deal with work stress and then come home to vent, I can't really do that. If someone close to me says something hurtful, I burst into tears instantly; if I fail a test, I cry immediately; if I don't understand something, the tears start... and it just goes on and on.🙂
And if someone tries to comfort me, the tears just flow even harder... I only really calm down once I've gotten away from everyone.

Is there some logical reason for this, or am I just a total mama's girl? 😢
Am I stuck whimpering like this for the rest of my life?

What's the best move here? I know I'm crying over trivial stuff, but I still can't seem to control the tears...

It's just how you process stress... specifically those little stressors. 😬
For instance, I handle stress by laughing. 🤣
Like, if I were back in high school and got detention for something stupid, I'd probably just laugh about it along with my whole class. But if you got detention, you'd likely end up in tears. It's just a different way of coping, I guess.

However, if you want to get rid of it, you need a certain level of self-control. When you feel the urge to cry, you try with everything you've got to hold it back. And then, if you have to, you go home and tear the room apart when nobody's watching. 😁

It's kind of like trying to quit biting your nails... in theory, anyway. 😬

😢

Fair enough... but I guess we could try something like: "Evil Spammer Topic Destroyer"???

LOL, obviously The Matrix pulled in way more cash—it had an awesome title, a massive star power lineup, and those ads were basically everywhere. I don't even remember seeing any promos for Dark City, honestly. 🤣
Still, Dark City is the GOAT. 🙏

Mr.Ex.President said:I'll change your username for you😬
It'll say banned😍

Personally, I'd be fine with my handle being changed to banned—if it isn't already taken... 🙏 🙏 🙏
