Killswitch Engage Announce New Singer....

2012-02-09T17:44:00.000-05:00

Killswitch Engage’s new singer is their old singer.

The Mass metal monsters parted ways with singer Howard Jones around New Year’s. Rumors were the bands was in the studio recording a follow up to No. 7 2009 hit “Killswitch Engage,” but the rumors were wrong. But now the band is back on track with an old friend.

Original vocalist Jess Leach is back in the fold. Leach sang on the band’s self-titled debut in 2000 and on 2002’s “Alive or Just Breathing.” Leach left in 2002 and was replaced by Howard Jones, but his work on “Alive or Just Breathing” has always been revered by

In a statement, the band said:

“After much deliberation and careful consideration, we are pleased to announce that Jesse Leach has rejoined Killswitch Engage. Our job was to find the best person to fill Howard’s shoes: a decision based on talent and not familiarity. Truth be told, Jesse blew us away in auditions. The room seemed charged with electricity. He commanded both new and old material, and proved, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that he wanted to do this. The choice became very clear and apparent.”

The “new” guy himself also commented on his return to the band after a decade-long absence:

“It is a great honor to rejoin my brothers after all of these years. After some discussion and much reflection, it was obvious to me this was the path I was meant to take. We got together and jammed on the ‘Howard-era songs,’ as well as some Alive or Just Breathing-era songs and we all felt the synergy.”

I'm sooo fucking excited about this. Alive Or Just Breathing is one of my "desert island" albums. When I heard Jesse Leach left the band, I briefly considered trying out for the vacant vocalist spot, before the reality set in that I Can't Fucking Sing. Howard Jones was a great replacement. He made some killer music with those guys, but there was something missing. After hearing the Adam D./Leach collaboration Times Of Grace, it was clear what was missing.
I'm psyched.
Sign me up for this year's New England Metal And Hardcore Festival, where the band (with Leach) will be headlining.

Happy Birthday, Bob...

Van Halen... A Different Kind Of Truth.

2012-02-02T22:52:00.004-05:00

..The Under Destruction Review..

"Told ya I was comin' back... Say you missed me... Say it like you mean it".. Blood And Fire

So.. This is it. The long awaited return of a David Lee Roth Fronted Van Halen. The record that all of us old school VH fans have been clamoring for for almost three decades. They put the tip in, so to speak, in 1996 with two DLR fronted tracks on Best Of Volume 1, but abruptly pulled out before we even began to get wet. Look... I'm not going to front like I'm not a bit biased. I can appreciate aspects of every Van Halen era... Yes, even the Gary Cherone shit... But my true love for this band is based on the first four records. And that's why I love love LOVE A Different Kind Of Truth....

A large percentage of this material has roots in the Pre- Hagar era. I was a bit mistaken... In my previous post, I claimed that this record was 1984 Part Two. Nope. It's way closer to Fair Warning... It is classic Van Halen, through and through... I got a little nervous the first time I heard Tattoo. It's probably the weakest track on the record. The lack of Michael Anthony's backing vocals are glaring on that track. Then... throughout the record.. That absence becomes less and less noticeable. Tracks like China Town, As Is and Outta Space blow you out of the water with their patented Pre-Diver Down aggression. (Double Bass, kids?) Songs like Big River, You And Your Blues, and Beats Workin' make you wonder what 5150 and F.U.C.K. would have sounded like had Dave never left. This album is everything I hoped it would be... Just 25 years late. Is it perfect? No. But, who cares? Do yourself a favor... Hit up Spotify, and listen to the first four Van Halen records then listen to A Different Kind Of Truth. Perfect fit. If vintage VH ain't your thing, look elsewhere. If it is... Look no further. For the first time in 30 years... THIS FEELS LIKE VAN FUCKING HALEN....

8/10

1984 Part 2...

Copyright Industry Calls For Broad Search Engine Censorship....

2012-01-27T15:02:00.000-05:00

http://torrentfreak.com

At a behind-closed-doors meeting facilitated by the UK Department for Culture, Media and Sport, copyright holders have handed out a list of demands to Google, Bing and Yahoo. To curb the growing piracy problem, Hollywood and the major music labels want the search engines to de-list popular filesharing sites such as The Pirate Bay, and give higher ranking to authorized sites.

It’s no secret that the entertainment industries believe search engines are not delivering enough when it comes to protecting copyright works. Just last month, the RIAA and IFPI accused Google of massively profiting from piracy, while putting up barriers to make life difficult for rightsholders.

If the copyright industry had their way, Google and other search engines would no longer link to sites such as The Pirate Bay and isoHunt. In a detailed proposal handed out during a meeting with Google, Yahoo and Bing, various copyright holders made their demands clear.

The document, which describes a government-overlooked “Voluntary Code of Practice” for search engines, was not intended for public consumption but the Open Rights Group obtained it through a Freedom of Information (FOI) request.

In short, the rightsholders want the search engines to make substantial changes so that pirated content becomes harder to find, or is de-listed entirely. In addition, they want to boost the rankings of licensed content. Below are the three new measures they propose.

Assign lower rankings to sites that repeatedly make available unlicensed content in breach of copyright
Prioritize websites that obtain certification as a licensed site under a recognised scheme
Stop indexing websites that are subject to court orders while establishing suitable procedures to de-index substantially infringing sites

In the document rightsholders explain that they find it inexcusable that some websites – Pirate Bay and Isohunt in particular – are still indexed by all major search engines even though courts have ruled they facilitate copyright infringement.

Not surprisingly, there is no mention of the collateral damage that such a broad filter would bring with it – many artists and other legitimate individuals are known to use these websites to share their works.

The document further details how many of the top search results for music, movies and books crrently link to pirated copies. In order to stop this, the rightsholders propose that Google and other search engines systematically assign a lower ranking to possibly infringing pages.

“We propose that in order to further protect consumers and to encourage responsible behaviour among websites, the extent of illegal content on a website should become a factor influencing the ranking of that website in search results returned to consumers,” they write.

This should be doable according to the rightsholders, as Google already influences its search results based on various other criteria, such as the lower rankings that are assigned to so-called content farms.

“Given that Google already de-ranks and de-lists sites that do not meet its own ‘quality guidelines’ or otherwise violate its policies, we do not believe that search engines would face significant legal exposure if they were to de-rank or de-list sites using an objective measure, based on their actions in response to legal DMCA complaints, in pursuit of the legitimate objective of preventing their service being used to facilitate copyright infringement,” they write.

Conversely, it’s argued that search engines should also boost the ranking of legitimate sites for certain ‘relevant’ searches. A list of relevant terms to match to these relevant searches should be provided by pro-copyright groups. In the proposal, the rightsholders give the following example in the case of music files.

“We would propose that prioritisation be enabled for searches that contain any of the following key search terms: “mp3″, “flac”, “wma”, “aac”, “torrent”, “download”, “rip”, “stream” or “listen”, “free”, when combined with an artist name, song or album title contained on a list to be regularly updated and provided to a search engine by a recognised and properly mandated agency representing rights holders for a particular sector, such as BPI.”

Aside from these new proposals, the document also calls on the search engines to improve the censorship measures already in place, such as Google’s keyword filter for their “instant” and “autocomplete” services.

Although the proposal from the rightsholders is not a direct threat as it is a long way from being accepted, it clearly shows that rightsholders see censorship as the way forward. The search engines on the other hand were not impressed and are expected to supply a proposal of their own in a future meeting. Again behind closed doors.

This is complete bullshit.
I hear talk of "the free ride being over"...
Fuck you... That's a cop out.
Let me tell you about a "free ride"...

I'm relatively new to file sharing. up until about 4-5 years ago I bought every single record and movie in my possession. I didn't have immediate internet access... I had no clue.
Friends would tell me about downloading an album or song, and I would chastise them.
I loved going to Strawberries every Friday, after cashing my check, and scanning shelves for cool shit.
Downloading was too easy. These faggots were cheating.
I loved the whole experience... Still do. Opening that sucker, reading the liner notes.... Everything about buying a new CD makes my dick hard, and these morons were missing out. When I finally did get regular internet access, I was floored by how much shit I was missing out on. You gotta think... How many amazing bands I was completely unaware of. A multitude of blogs with download links expanded my musical palate a million fold.I downloaded a shit ton of music. It took me less than 3 months to fill a 1.5 TB HD.
I was hypnotized...
And, for the first time, making educated decisions about which music to buy... and what was utter fucking garbage.
I'm sure I'm NOT alone.
I spent most of my life at the mercy of listening to mainstream bands because I hadn't the foggiest clue of a whole new wave of shit that had been growing under the surface... An entire generation of acts. Had it not been for these blogs, I would have never purchased albums from (just to name a few) Killswitch Engage, Lamb Of God, Mastodon, Baroness, The Melvins, Trouble, Crowbar, Clutch... I could go on for days... I maybe eventually would have discovered and loved these bands, but... as any of you old enough to remember the days before the internet know... We only had so much money, man... And how many CD's or tapes did we buy back in the day based on hearing one song we liked, or a good review, and pay a ridiculous amount of our hard earned fucking money for, only to bring it home and be profoundly disappointed with the rest of the trash contained on it? I got weary of committing 10-20 bucks on something that could suck.
Buying a CD sight unseen was/is a frightening prospect... So I played it safe.

On top of that, how many fucking records did I have to RE-BUY because they were lost, stolen or damaged? I've purchased at LEAST 20 copies of Appetite For Destruction in my life. Cassette... CD... Vinyl... And that's just one example.

FREE RIDE MY FUCKING ASS..

I've never had lots of money... And for years I spend thousands upon thousands of dollars on music. Most of which I had already purchased previously. And sites like MegaUpload guaranteed that I would no longer have to do that...

So...Why go after them, rather than the "owners" of the online lockers that contained all of this illegal shit? After all.. You put a Kilo of cocaine in a locker at the airport, someone else grabs it... They aren't taking airport officials in custody, are they?

Of course, the fact that MegaUpload and it's whopping 4% of Internet traffic was essentially erased from the Internet came the day after massive and successful protests of SOPA and PIPA have spurred all kinds of theories that the takedown was just a giant middle finger to the Internet.

Let's dig into this a bit...

"MegaUpload, which the U.S. government shut down.... is a Hong Kong-based ‘cyberlocker’ service that allows users to download pirated films, TV shows, music and e-books with just a few clicks."

This sentence vastly misrepresents the purpose of MegaUpload.

In fact... MegaUpload always responded promptly and correctly to all correctly filled in DMCA takedown notices.

Therefore, under US law, the site acted legally at all times. I'll be interested to see what invented evidence they use in court to show the contrary.
The real reason for shutting MegaUpload down probably had much more to do with their new music store which would cut out the record company middle man, and therefore reshape the industry, which was only weeks away from a full public launch.

Guess what... record companies don't want to be "cut out" of the picture, and they certainly don't want artists taking 90% of profits, or to be paid for free downloads, as would have happened under MegaUpload's plans.

Wait... Maybe not...
"The real reason MegaUpload was taken down has more to do with a large, well-documented collection of staggeringly flagrant illegal actions, many of which took place long before MegaBox was ever announced.. Now, there there are plenty of completely legitimate bones to be picked with the way the takedown took place, but to sum it all up to “‘The man’ was afraid of MegaBox” is a gross oversimplification. Before we get into any of the greyer areas of intent, lets just take a look at some of the things in that 72 page indictment, shall we?

There sure is a lot on that indictment, and I recommend – if you really, really care – that you give it a skim yourself, but here are some highlights. It’s worth mentioning that Ortmann and Van Der Kolk, mentioned below, were MegaUpload’s CTO and “Programmer-in-Chief,” respectively.

From the section relating to Count Two — Conspiracy to commit copyright infringement — and the subsection relating to “Overt Acts”:

On or about August 31, 2006, VAN DER KOLK sent an e-mail to an associate entitled “lol”. Attached to the message was a screenshot of a Megaupload.com filedownload page for the file “Alcohol 120 1.9.5 3105complete.rar” with a description of “Alcohol120, con crack!!!! By ChaOtiX!”. The copyrighted software “Alcohol 120” is a CD/DVD burning software program sold by www.alcohol-soft.com.

q.
On or about December 3, 2006, DOTCOM distributed a Megaupload.com link to a music file entitled “05-50_cent_feat._mobb_deep-nah-c4.mp3” to ORTMANN. A copy of this file was still present on servers controlled by the Mega Conspiracy as of December 20, 2011.
y.
On or about May 17, 2007, a representative from Google AdSense, an Internet advertising company, sent an e-mail to DOTCOM entitled “Google AdSense Account Status.” In the e-mail, the representative stated that “[d]uring our most recent review of your site[Megaupload.com,]” Google AdSense specialists found “numerous pages” with links to, among other things, “copyrighted content,” and therefore Google AdSense “will no longer be able to work with you.” The e-mail contains links to specific examples of offending content located on Megaupload.com. DOTCOM and his conspirators have continued to operate and financially profit from the Megaupload.com website after receiving this notice.

vv.

On or about November 23, 2008, DOTCOM received an e-mail from a Mega Site user entitled “video problems.” The e-mail described, “I’ve been trying to watch Dexter episodes, but… the sound doesn’t match up with the visual… I didn’t choose to use your site, you seem to dominate episodes 6 and 7 of Dexter on alluc[.org, a linking site].” DOTCOM forwarded the e-mail to ORTMANN and wrote, “… on many forums people complain that our video / sound are not in sync… We need to solve this asap!” “Dexter” is a copyrighted television series on the premium cable channel Showtime.". .GeekOSystem.com

Dude... I'm confused. I'll get to the bottom of this... In the meantime...
I'm following the lead of the kind folks over at Angry Chairs:

"Will this stop me from downloading? fuck no it wont. I now vow to never help this industry out again, Ill send my money straight to the artists no fuckin middle men and I hope you all do as well."

So... What do we do??

In the meantime...

NERDS.... Earn your keep and FIX THIS.

So…
I was going to write some ridiculous diatribe about how pissed off I was about recent events.
But then I gave it some thought.
I’m not really pissed… In fact, this whole thing is comical. And I should have seen it coming. I mean.. On one hand, it sucks.. I love you guys. But on the other.. Sumpin’ had to give, I guess…
Everyone knows I couldn’t just let this shit pass silently…

Arielle says “Just leave it alone, Dave”…

Fuck that.
Lemme just straighten some fucking shit out right now, then we can put it to bed….

Much like the end of my marriage, the end of our friendship started a long time ago…

I’ve been in denial for quite a while…Hindsight is always 20/20...

I thought of the plethora of warning signs that I flat out fucking ignored for the sake of holding onto something that I thought was “family”.
Much like my relationship with Kim, I turned the other cheek when slighted for a long time for fear of being faced with the prospect of losing the only true friend I’d ever had in my life.

It was bullshit. It was all bullshit. A horrible fucking game. I’m kinda relieved it’s done.

Did you catch that?

Relieved.

Everything between us has been on your terms for so long that I’d actually almost completely forgotten the days when it was us against the world.
Yeah… you saved my ass and had my back through so much fucking shit…
And you’ve been riding on those days for years…My own insecurities manifesting themselves into another part of my life. Our friendship had become just as destructive and one sided as my marriage.
“Fuck you, Furbush… You come to ME”…
The last two years it switched from us being able to converse about ANYTHING …
Nothing was taboo...
At some point it became “walk on eggshells around Big Cat because you might twist up his fucking panties”…

No… No diatribe. I definitely thought about it, though… Then it occurred to me how much you wanted it. You expected the patented Furbush Rant. You’ve resigned yourself to “being the bad guy”. Get over yourself, sweet cheeks.

I’m fine.

Cast aside?

Nigga Please…

I felt “cast aside” A “year and a quarter” ago when I tried to get sober and get a divorce, and needed your counsel as much as you needed mine the year before that, when I did what a real friend does, and dropped everything and rushed to your side to help you make sense of your failed, miserable fucking existence… I thought maybe I’d get something comparable in return…
Instead, what I received was the immensely profound “Quit being such a faggot and have a drink” before you staggered back to Penacook to drink yourself into being a two day a week fucking father….(How’s that working out for you, anyway, cupcake?)
And when I called you out on your shitty fucking friendship skills I was swiftly, and unceremoniously banished.

Shocker…

That’s become your Modus operandi, as of late, has it not? Jayson will do whatever the fuck he sees fit to do, regardless of how it affects anyone else, and if they dare question his omnipotence, they shall be forever fucking shunned. That goes triple if he really fucks up bad and you do anything to retaliate. Or even threaten it.
You like to tell me I am the master of justification.. That I will make excuses for anything….While this may me true, I have nothing on you, dude. I’ve just rolled with your bullshit for so long, because I thought we were brothers, and you would have just Shattuck'd me anyway for calling you out.

I can take a few on the chin.... But then, you crossed some fucking lines...

And you damn well knew it.

Don’t get it twisted, kid… I was right there with you right up until you started fucking up really bad.

When you started shutting out and vilifying people that had done nothing to you.... You could have easily bitten the bullet and apologized for YOUR mistake(s)... You didn't. You became severely, aggressively hostile towards someone who not only had every right to be pissed off at you, he stayed silent. Not a peep. The very thought of him potentially blowing the whistle on your ruse scared you shitless. It made you angry. You were furious that he could make one phone call and end your shit. You needed control of the situation...FAST. So he became the liar... The "False Prophet"...

Even then... I had your back...
But THEN...

When you started lying to ME to protect yourself. When you put ME in a position where I couldn’t trust the words that came out of your fucking mouth to ME anymore... You flat out refused to even have a civilized conversation with ME about any of it. The very thought of any honesty about the situation reaching your ears made you angry… Reclusive… Hostile… And yet, you expect a motherfucker to be beside you 100%?
Who’s living a fucking lie?
Depression? Check.
Anger? Check.
Denial? Check.
Using? Check.

To protect yourself from the GUILT...
From the SHAME...
To protect the only thing in your life that you can CONTROL..
To prevent a repeat of the Laura situation...
You did the only thing you knew how to do...
You turned it around, then RAN AWAY like a fucking COWARD.

Steph is the only real victim here. She still believes in you. How many friends does she have to shut out of her life on a count of "Jayson said so.. I Must Obey My Master." before she gets sick of being CONTROLLED? That living in your cocoon is no way for anyone to live... That you are FULL OF SHIT.
She ain't stupid, pal... She's just in denial. She'll figure it out.. And when she does, you'll be alone in your cocoon. Then what?
You could have just manned up... Or, been honest with yourself for a change.
You couldn't even discuss it...
You just high tail it outta town like a gutless pussy...
Let’s flip this for a moment…

Ah HA!!!
You know I don’t need to. You know exactly how it would go.
“Furbush, you are full of shit… “
“Probably… but here’s why…”
cue ridiculous Furbush sob story

Everyone and their mother knows Furbush has pulled some scumbag fuckin’ shit in his day. And we laugh about it later. I never lied to you about any of it.

I’m not sad..
I’m not misunderstood..
I’m honest with myself.
I know who and what I am.
I am comfortable with that.
I am enlightened.

What you know, and what you think you know about me are two different things. Had you been paying attention… But that’s right… You don’t care. That much has been obvious. Thanks for at least telling one of us the truth about SOMETHING.

My real problems ended the day my ex-wife got thrown into the fucking loony bin. I happen to love this “empty hole that I’ve made my life into”, actually… The only issues I have these days are self absorbed, arrogant twenty-somethings who tell me they love me as long I continue to shovel their self serving shit down my own throat without questioning their integrity.

One down.

Seriously.

Despite all of that shit, I hung tough... Blood is thicker than water.
And one night, I politely ask you to turn down your stereo so my 7 month old son can sleep, and I wake up the next day to find that you've fucking blocked me on facebook...?
Really?
You little fucking girl.
I always knew someday you would start to act your age.
You’ve gone off of the deep end, man.
This whole “moving forward” thing is a crock of shit and we both know it. Pretending like you’re a thousand times better… Man, You’re a fucking train wreck. Those meds are like a Band-Aid for cancer... ...You’re running away from who you are. And you are in denial of what’s really eating you alive.
And please, don't forget that ...

But, hey… I digress.. It’s the truth… Why would you wanna hear it?

Good Luck…
Godspeed…

May the road rise up to meet you
May the wind be always on your back
May the sun shine warm upon your face
And the rain fall soft upon your fields
And until we meet again
May God hold you in the hollow of his hand..
…and remember that sticking feathers up your butt does not make you a chicken.

“and I fucking threw it all away like it wasn't enough, like I knew what the fuck I was doing.
I had no fucking idea. I can't even describe with words the emptiness that I feel and live with everyday.
I pushed them away with my hate, my anger, and my arrogance.”

May The Bridges You Burn Light The Fucking Way.

2012-01-20T00:03:00.000-05:00

You always needed people like me
Directions for your fingers to point
A crooked dealer's blaming spree
I'm guaranteed to disappoint
You're weak and scared and cutting raw deals..
But fortune always favours the bold
I'll bet it all and crush your bluff
I'll never yield nor ever fold.
And I won't shoulder the blame.
I am the one who's left to take the fall
I fight the constant undertow.
You always needed a distraction
A target for the stones that you thrown
To draw attention from your actions
I'm tailor made so lock & load
Oh, you're telling tales
You spineless coward
Your word's not worth its weight in shit
Back against the wall, belligerent.
I won't shoulder the blame
So high and mighty
But when the bottom drops out
You're gonna find me standing where you left me.
Deal the last hand, let the cards fall where they may
From your castle made of sand you're looking down at me
So high and mighty
But when the bottom drops out
You'll have to face me waiting where you left me.
