I never got into the Sheild but I'm thinking after it's done I'll watch season one and see if it catches on with me. With F/X's other shows I really liked The Riches and was sad to hear that it was canceled. I'm a big "Sunny" fan and I too wish I started watching it sooner. I ended up watching the first few season all right in a row to catch up for the current season. Son's of Anarchy is good but I haven't seen the last three episodes. I'll have to catch up at some point. It'll probably get canceled though.

My quick thoughts on it involve two things, A: Rolling Stone never gets anything right, and B: Top 100's are based heavily on things outside of what the topic of what the Top 100 in question is about.

P.S,

Roland Orzabal from Tears for Fears should have been somewhere in there between 100-50.

Fuck the ice field in a tank level. Fuck that bullshit.

That took me a good 5-6 tries to get through. I beat the game earlier today after only 6-7 hours of gameplay. I'm pretty disappointed that it wasn't longer. Maybe I've been spoiled by games like GTA IV and Saints Row 2 that have 20+ hours of gameplay and Fire Pro which is pretty much endless. I wish they could take a game the quality of Gears and extend it maybe 4-5 hours to get over the 10 hour hump. I had a blast playing the game outside of a couple parts I thought were a little cheap. Nice pacing, good story, and fantastic gameplay. Not a game of the year contender due to some other games this year but on any other year it'd probably take it pretty easily. I haven't played multiplayer yet because Xbox screwed up my Live payment but I don't have much interest in online playing anymore anyways. Too many screaming kids who think swearing makes you cool.

It's not bad man. Sort of a metalcore Black Dahlia Murder. I like the take on the chuggy breakdown type riffs towards the beginning, instead of the drummer just playing a 4/4 beat he mixes it up. I'd certainly listen to more songs.

The best show I've been to was one I actually booked, basically because I booked my two favorite bands. I doubt any of you would know them but the two headliners were Ed Gein and Engineer. Two great bands if you're into anything that Botch did. It was a fantastic show from seeing them play one after another to being able to share the bill with them (my band at the time opened). Attendance was great as the place was so full you could barely walk around. I made a profit on the show to boot.

As far as on a giant scale with world touring bands it would probably have to be the Pledge of Allegiance Tour back in 01 or 02. Slipknot, Rammstein, System of a Down, American Head Charge, and No One. While I don't listen to any of those bands anymore outside of Rammstein and Slipknot, it was a phenomenal. It was before System of a Down was all about politics and they played their whole set with a porn movie playing behind them. Rammstein had enough pyro to blow up a city and Slipknot was just plain awesome. I've been to Slipknot shows with people who don't like them and left saying "Man, that was a good show". They get a bad rap due to lots of their fans being total idiots but they bring the goods live. I'm really hoping Rammstein comes back here after their next album comes out.

Note for the judges, if you don't want to go back and read multiple shows to get the backstory behind this I'll be happy to provide a summary.

The lights go out and the strobe lights around the arena start going off. Finally they go off again until a spotlight shines on the entrance ramp. Chris Hero comes crawling through the curtain bleeding with a barbed wire crown of sorts wrapped around his head. A flood of masked men come out from behind the curtain where the leader steps forward and kicks at Hero pushing him closer and closer to the ring. Two masked men follow him and drag Hero into the ring. The two extra men hold Hero up with his arms out, a Christ like pose. The leader of the masked men has a microphone and speaks with a distorted voice.

MASKED MAN: I want you all to look at what is behind me. This man, this Hero you worship is broken. He is bleeding. A hero is not what this man is. He is not your messiah, he doesn't not deserve your faith your trust your admiration. Chris Hero you wear a thinly veiled layer of lies to cover up the black heart that beats within your body. This man has betrayed you for years. He has come and gone when he pleases and made thousands follow him blindly until he turns his back on you all. This man is a symbol of why we have to do the things we do. You cheer for him and you love him without ever knowing him. This man hates me and taunts me without knowing me. Hero this is personal. That should have been made apparent by now. You wear that title belt around your waist as security blanket. The one thing in your career you didn't cheat to win. You think that title and that one night of doing the right thing wipes away years of sins? Hero I want you to look me in my eyes. I want you to soak this in. See Hero every person experiences a moment in their life where they are lower than they have ever been before. They find themselves shooting up drugs in a gutter somewhere. They find themselves cheating on their wives because they can't work out their own issues. Hero this is that moment for you. The years you spent talking down to people like me. The years you spent with that smug elitist smirk plastered across your face. It all catches up with you right here, right now. See Hero I fully intend on making myself known. My true identity. Hero when that day comes, and it's coming soon there will be nowhere for you to hide. I've said it before and I'll say it again, the sand in your hourglass are running out. You've been playing this game of hiding your true self for far to long. Whether these people want it or not I'm going to expose you for the bastard you are. You all may hate me now but in the end you'll thank me. Hero I want you look at at me face to face right now.

The two men holding Hero lift his chin up and hold his eyelids open.

MASKED MAN: Hero, listen closely.

The masked man kneels down next to Hero speaking softly and close to his face.

MASKED MAN: Hero we all have to pay for our sins. I've payed for mine. Now you will pay for yours.

The masked man lifts the mask above his lips and spits on Hero's face. He then slaps him across the face.

MASKED MAN: Look at this. Keep your eyes open. This is the death of a Hero. There will only be one outcome in all of this. The Chris Hero you all love and look up to will die.

The lights go out again and when they come back on, Hero is laying face first on the mat. Security and medical staff comes down to tend to him.

I pretty much never post on here, I used to a lot about a few years ago but man this is the best diary I have read. Keep it up. Every month it seems like Messiah will somewhere down the road wrestle Mondo in some extreme brutal match.
