For @Lollygagger8, because the guy just rocks, he passed a difficult work related exam recently, & since it's the almost the 4th Of July, I wanted to leave my brother from another motha with a decent celebratory BANG of my own...
Â
This guy named Josh Steffen & he plays Lars Ulrich to perfection man!
Â
I idolize drummers like this who make their presence both heard & felt...This dude is amazing! My kinda fella. LOL!Â
Â
Â
Proud of ya Lolly! Enjoy the fruits of your labor man & drink a cold one on me tomorrow. That's an order. Okay, more of a polite command really. You earned it my man.Â
Â
To all my other amigos on the forum, have a blast on Wednesday & try to keep all your fingers & toes attached.Â

Thanks my man. Back at ya boss. Between seeing Wallace pulverize Great Britain's tyranny & listening to that song, one can't help but be driven to plunder, pillage, & place a foe's head on a spike just because it's Wednesday night & Preseason Football games haven't aired yet on NFL Network.Â
Â
I bet your Mel Gibson accent is spot on too Lolly.Â
 One of the best films ever made. Fire, steel, stone...And then, the English do something beyond the pale & slice the throat of Wallace's love of his life. Uh oh...Now, William is very, very angry with you & when William gets upset heads literally roll. Exactly man, BraveHeart is a great picture. I always knew you had superb tastes.Â
Â
I just found it ironic that after watching the final act of William Wallace on screen, a band called "Unleash The Archers" happens to be on my You Tube account page. I figured it was a good omen man. LOL!
Â
Yeah, the lead singer Brittany Hayes does have some nice pipes indeed along with more than a few other pleasant features no doubt. She can spin her long hair around in the ultimate head banging mode. I'm always amazed when an incredible voice comes out of a person you could bump into at the grocery store just running ordinary errands. And then she opens her mouth, sings a couple of stanzas/verses...And you wonder how in the hades did she pull that off? Darn. Okay, you say darn because she's so easy on the eyes at first. Then, she blows you away with her voice & you say darn once again. Followed by the silent thought--I wonder if she's single or not? As my old man always says, "You stop looking when you die."Â
Â
Yeah, Brittany Hayes is pretty hot even just chilling away from the stage or on tour during her downtime before she sings for her supper. Â
Â
Â
She has a natural beauty about her. Like somebody who works as a CPA, librarian, or even school teacher who just happens to entertain for a living.Â
Â
Anyhow, I've babbled on long enough. Â Take Care buddy. And don't forget to yell Bike! every now & then just to keep your technique fresh & new.Â
Â
So many sports pundits think both the Colts & Luck are finished. Well, as Wallace would say, "Well that's something we shall have to remedy isn't it?" Abso-bloody-Loot- Ly.Â

Unleash the archers! Killer name boss!Â
Â
My buddies and I were waiting at a concert once and the place wouldn't open the doors on time, and the crowd started to get rowdy, and I yelled out TODAY......WE FIGHT FOR HONOR!!.......HOLD!! HOLD!! We all were cracking up pushing on the doors. They opened them immediately!Â
Â
Oh man Brittany....boing!!! Â
Â
You're right man, she is naturally beautiful. Plus she can sing? Double boing!Â
Â

That's what I like about you Lolly. You can play along with my foolishness [William Wallace banter] & roll with it even further--"We fight for Honor" comic rant. You have clout, reverence, & sway buddy. A natural born leader. Cool story.
Â
You'd be a great dude to see a concert with because you knock kick caboose metal & rock n roll. Plus, you formed a few bands too so, you get both sides of it: how to entertain a crowd & give them good musicianship on top of it. I also know you appreciate all genres too. Not just hard & heavy stuff. Musicians are typically well adjusted dads too. Great for raising kids with a sarcastic sense of humor.Â
Â
Yeah, Brittany Hayes even looks hot in glasses...Going for the naughty intellectual look. Beauty, braun, & brains: A lethal combination.Â
Â
Â
I will leave you with UTA's other most memorable single: 'The Matriarch.'
Â
Not as good as 'Apex' that's true. However, still ominous, menacing, & stuff that makes your parents wonder if you're going off the deep end like good metal is supposed to.Â
Â
A fan on their You Tube page with the call sign: Baby With A 6 pack wrote:Â
Â
"Where's my horse, sword and armor? I must feast on the blood of my enemies!!.. also,. has anybody seen my falcon?" LOL!Â
Â
Â
They also wrote a decent song called "Test Your Metal" when they were perfecting their sound as a band. It was just at the point when UTA was about to breakout & become good. You can tell they had talent, but that hadn't learned how to craft a well known single yet like Metallica before "Master Of Puppets" was released. Not comparing the 2 bands or claiming Unleash The Archers will reach the same plateau BTW. I just mean that UTA keeps getting better with each new album. They evolve.Â
Â
Â
You can tell that Brittney is legit, her supporting cast is darn good, & her voice is no studio gimmick.Â
Â
Take Care Brother. This is the kind of metal I grew up on. Hard, heavy, & real.Â

I just felt like compiling a list of solid covers just as good as the original itself or slightly surpassing it. No judgements here folks because imitation is the highest form of flattery & recognition right? Quality is quality. Feel free to add at your leisure of course. All genres welcome naturally...

The song "Apologize" originally done by One Republic has been covered a lot, which tells you how good a track really is...
Â
Â
Here's my personal favorite straight out of Germany from a band called All Ends. The dual female vocalist treatment gives it some teeth. My kinda jam baby.Â
Â
Â
Country singer Luke Bryan also lays down a decent version of this number as well. [Not displayed here.]

Since RR7, JPPT, & BR-549 have dropped some musical gems recently, I figured why not throw my hand into the fray with SW1's Jukebox. Basically, whatever musical mood strikes me at any given moment. If you wanna category, let's just classify it stuff that never gets old to me...
Â
Any up for a tour guide or "Midnight Rider?" Because Zack Williams is...Nice cover of an Allman Brothers classic. Check this out...
Â
Â
More to follow. Please feel free to add at your leisure...

Take your whiskey home is one of my favorite by VH.....I think it is more about alcoholism and how it affects our loved ones. Just my perspective...doesn't make it correct?
Â
Blackfoot's "Train Train" is one heckuva great tune as well.
Â
Thanks for the tunes man and it was nice to see Chrissy again!

Just a quick note to say that if you e-mailed me on the forum, gave me words of sympathy/encouragement[ & I haven't responded back to you yet, I'm not ignoring you. I just need more time to process a recent family tragedy that's all. I will reply eventually. I just have no idea when that will actually be.Â
Â
I still watch all the Colts games of course. My heart just isn't consumed with NFL commentary right now.Â
Â
If I Â was ever in one of my stubborn moods & got into a scuffle with anybody on the Colts Forum, I apologize & sincerely regret my actions. Part of me wonders if I'm paying some sort of penance now for bad behavior in the past on my part. I know it's not healthy to think that way, but I do.Â
Â
You still might only see movie reviews for me for awhile & that's it. I need to lay low right now for my own self preservation.Â
Â
No need to leave me any feedback. Thank you. Just keeping my friends apprised & updated I guess.Â

As a favor to RR7 for doing a Ronnie James Dio medley or maybe just a way to say thank you for his exceptional music tastes, I decided post some of my favorite Scorpions songs. There's just something about Germany that produces great singers in rock & roll &Â remarkable frontman. Let's take it from the top Berlin boys...
Â
[Sidenote: I will email both you & NFLfan back soon. I've just been sidetracked with other matters recently. Thank you both for your patience.]

"She'll make your heart break
She'll give you fever
She'll tell you everything but don't believe her
A perfect stranger
She knows the game
She'll promise heaven on earth
But don't believe her"ÂÂ
Â
Â
It's a little rough around the edges, but has a gritty charm to it. Never heard "Rock Me Like A Hurricane performed by a female lead vocalist before. It gives new meaning to the lyrics:Â
Â
"My cat is purring, it scratches my skin
So what is wrong with another sin?"Â
Â
Meow. I mean, not bad...The band is called Kings & Queens BTW.

Love Ronnie James Dio.Â
Â
I seen him live on his 'Master of the Moon' tour and despite playing on a small stage, he was incredible. One of the best Metal shows I ever seen. I think he was in his late 50's at the time, but no one could really tell. Dare I say he put up a better show at that little club than when I seen Ozzy on a big arena stage....

Hey there JPPT,Â
Â
I like your profile page & it always baffles me when bad people target innocent kids & fans at a concert. Look, I know why they do it. To instill fear & panic. But, why tarnish societies love of music? Or provoke a stampede? Parents should never outlive their children in most cases not like this anyway.Â
Â
You're a very caring person & it shows. I apologize if I embarrassed you JPPT. You're fascination with history & song trivia is pretty cool too.Â
Keep doing what you do.Â
