Someone on Reddit asked, "What's an album you got based on the album cover alone?"

BULLETBOYS "Freakshow"

I was in Best Buy around 1999, and I was just getting into music in general. I knew I liked metal, but I didn't have a lot of cash since I was 14. So I'm checking out the clearance CD section when I see a weird painted album cover of someone smoking in grayscale. There was no name on the cover, either. I picked it up, flipped it, and saw that there were a group of guys wearing what looked like hair metal outfits. I decided to try it out since it was only $2.

Turned out I was right, it was a hair/glam metal band, and this album is still one of my favorite albums of all time! It wound up helping me get into a ton of other metal bands in the following years, especially "Ripping Me"!

Wow, this is a tough one.

Justin Sane, lead singer of Anti-Flag, has been accused of sexual assault.

For me, this is heartbreaking since I've been a massive fan and the political messages of their albums have helped me process and understand a great number of things. Considering it was Justin Sane writing and singing a lot of those words, it makes it even tougher.

For the time being the music will remain on the station.

I'm open to thoughts on future action at this time and will consider any comments made to this post.

Anti Flag band member Justin Sane was accused of s*xual assault in an explosive podcast interview, which has left followers shocked.

Like you needed a reminder than Michael Graves is a fu***ng as***le, right?

"Michale Graves, lead singer of the Misfits from 1995 to 2000, acknowledged that members of the Proud Boys may have been guilty of trespassing on Capitol grounds. But he said he did not believe they had any intention of targeting Congress.

"I know for a fact there was not some elaborate plan to take over the Capitol that day on Jan 6,” he told the 12-member jury at the Proud Boys trial.

A former singer for the punk rock band The Misfits testified on behalf of five far-right Proud Boys members on Monday that he was asked to perform for them on the afternoon of Jan. 6, 2021, evidence their lawyers said shows they had no intention to attack the Capitol that day.

Airheads is easily one of my favorite movies ever, and the soundtrack is amazing! I got a copy in 2002, and I've been listening to it at least once a year ever since. It barely left my regular rotation for 10 years!

When Venom sings "Kill we will kill death, Ma********ng on the deeds we have done" in "Welcome to Hell," is he saying he'll ma******te on the co**se of Death itself, or to the fact that they killed death?

These are the thoughts that kept me out of Medical School.
