Metallica — Return to None (Bad Religion cover)

I was hunting for some new live clips from Bad Religion, but YouTube kept shoving this Metallica thing down my throat instead. So, obviously, I had to give it a listen. Honestly? Not sure how I feel about the cover. Still, it’s pretty cool seeing musicians actually recognize which bands are worth paying respect to...

I feel the same way; Ripper has been riding that same old tired routine for far too long now, even if the rest of the band still puts out some absolute gems.
Truth be told, I’ve become a bit of a concert recluse lately; I just find the crowds too overwhelming these days. Back when I used to go out with my buddy Sam a few years back, I ended up walking out halfway through a show and realized then that the fun had completely evaporated from the whole experience. 😁
The last show I actually dragged myself to was a Metallica gig, because obviously, I couldn't miss it. It was pure chaos—absolute mayhem—and while most people seemed to be swept up in the madness, I just couldn't bring myself to get caught up in it. 🙂

Pepsi and Ripely basically just ripped off Portuguese artists and god knows who else; it’s the kind of blatant theft that always gets under my skin. It reminds me of how some people try to pass off those cheap stadium anthems as actual music—it's more like being hit in the head with a baseball bat than listening to a song. Just an irritating trend.

oh what a day, what a lovely day

Yeah

Yeah

So, is it a ripper or not? Just say it.

I mean—Bandcamp releases are usually decent enough.

Godard is gone—and whenever I think about the French New Wave or even just France itself, I always picture this massive, gorgeous song composed of pure innocence, deep melancholy, and total, raw cynicism.

PS

^I always figured your handle was some kind of play on Godard. Not that there's much of a connection, really. 🤷

Quincy Jones has passed away.

You nailed it—it used to be a bit different, way more low-brow back in the day. 😁

Spill it.
I’m dying to know. 😁

The suspense is actually killing me 😁

Fassgodard—look, I know it’s a bit much, okay?😒

ahaha, what are you even talking about? Can anyone actually be stupider than Kimberly Smith?
And you're bringing up Fass from Fassbinder? 🕺

Glad you gave Tindersticks a shot. I was actually thinking about posting one of their tracks.

Glad you gave Tindersticks a shot—I was honestly just thinking about putting some of their stuff on.

Yeah, him.

Alice in Chains - Nutshell

Nightwish - Tribal

Just one of those massive moments from the mid-60s—where the Pope's innocence was already starting to get chewed up by those hallucinogenic LSD visions.
