Last night at AC/DC…

(The video is actually the intro from AC/DC’s Madison Square Garden show… but trust me when I say this alone was worth at least 20 dollars of the high ticket price)

My ears are still ringing ever-so-slightly from last night’s AC/DC concert. I have been waiting years for this ring, though, so I am accepting it with pride and a certain badge of honor. Because I can check it off my list. And believe me, it’s been on that list for a long time. Say what you will, but AC/DC was, is, and always will be – one of the greatest rock bands of all time.

Jani Lane’s (true thoughts) on Cherry Pie

I have seen VH1 Classic’s “Heavy: The Story of Metal” many, many times. And every time that I see it’s on, I watch it again. I just can’t stop myself. One of my favorite parts is this clip of Warrant frontman Jani Lane talking about their hit single “Cherry Pie.”

It’s actually sad in a way (even if it was a huge paycheck for him over the years) to hear him talk about it like this. But it’s a brilliant moment in this series, and lord knows that I love to share…

February 18th at the X!

(tickets go onsale november 22nd)

It’s really no secret that I love Motley Crue. Sure, they have plenty of misses, but the combination of that Motley folklore, their catalog of dirty L.A./Sunset Strip hits, and my obsessive love of The Dirt made this much-needed rock news for me.

So on this delightfully sunshine-y November morning, I thought I would insert some of my favorite Motley Crue videos after the jump:

watchmen

Over at io9, that Sci-Fi Miscellany blog under the Gawker Media umbrella – they have posted this amazing mock up for a poster for the upcoming Zack Snyder-helmed Watchmen movie – well, as you can see on this one that it’s “directed by Alan Moore and produced by Dave Gibbons” something that could happen… say, a couple years after hell froze over. Just the same though, this is the shit. Give ‘er a click to see the story…

I

This is exactly how I’d react:

Teen girl (mumbling to self): No more cream cheese… no more cheese.
Male friend: What’s wrong with her?
Female friend: The doctor told her she’s lactose intolerant today. She’s not taking it too well.
Teen girl (now shaking male friend): NO MORE BUTTERED POPCORN!!!

Minnetonka, Minnehaha Creek
Overheard by Sad.. no more cheese.

It reminds me of one of my favorite tattoos from an episode of L.A. Ink on TLC:

cheesetattoo

This overwhelmingly adorable dude (even with the 70’s ’stache and bad-on-purpose glasses) was in some sort of horrible accident involving a forklift and his gut region, and eventually could not process cheese anymore… (this clip is kinda long – but I personally think it’s worth watching, and posting…

Call me crazy, but Kim was definitely flirting with this guy. Ooh – and an update… apparently this Kyle character can “eat soy cheese, yogurt cheese and almond cheese.” But honestly, with the exception of some yogurt cheese – he’s still fucked. Lactose intolerance would probably be the end of me, personally…

Additional Info:

Cheese dude is in a band, Dusty Rhodes and the River Band…
