At 1000 beats per second, how can you tell?
I hear ya, and he’s off his rocker, but Rust in Peace is a great record and his influence in thrash metal is clear and broad…
Megadeth’s more recent stuff, much like Metallica’s…sucks.
It’s hard to say. Brains probably do tend to heal the little bruises over time.
How much headbanging would it take to physically mess you up long term? Probably a lot.
How much headbanging to overload your brain with temporary damage and impair your learning ability during the week? We don’t know.
So maybe youthful headbangers are impeding their ability to absorb and process information in an organized way by causing repeated microconcussions to the brain. Or maybe they’re just imposing extra stress, which forces the brain to adapt, and become…I don’t know, more focused? Hardened and less adaptable? Less focused? An array of idiosyncratic results?
It’s an interesting terrifying hypothesis. Probably it just makes you dizzy though.
I tried swinging my head like I did as a teenager. Ow. So let’s say, not recommended for deconditioned middle-aged types.
Wow, no one with even a PASSING acquaintance with reality should vocalize such a thing in earnest. That he did means that he conceived of the thought, or it was introduced to him, and he rolled it around his head, mulled it over, picked at it, and declared it worthy of putting out there with his name attached to it. That’s just. . .well, actually, that kinda fits in with a lot of the crazy out there, but it’s always disappointing to see MORE crazy.
I actually really liked Metallica’s latest album - Death Magnetic. It wasn’t their best work, but it was very good.
I think I’m just going to pretend that he died of a drug overdose right after Youthanasia.
I like this. Great idea.
RIP Dave Mustaine.
I never did like Mustaine and his constipation-growl.
What he thought about the shootings actually crossed my mind too, but so do 100 other stupid thoughts every day. It’s no worse than the “Bush staged 9/11” crackpot theories. You gotta consider all the possibilities. Most can be dismissed as too outrageous.
My righty-nut-ball coworker just sent some some links to support the conspiracy theory that the government was behind the theater shooting in an effort to take our guns away. The video is here: http://www.westernjournalism.com/the-colorado-massacre-lies-the-media-told-me/ and the email came with a long screed about “false flags” which I guess are the tricks the government uses to distract the citizenry with false evidence or something.
I suppose this is what folks like Dave Mustain are seeing.
I’m gonna tell her I have seen the light.
I noticed that when I park my car under the tree, it is covered with bird poop in the morning. But, if I park one space away from the tree, not only is there no bird poop on my car, but there is also no bird poop on the ground. This is obviously proof that the government is coming at night to put bird poop on my car in order to get me to buy a gun to shoot the bird, which will then have me handily armed for either the coming Muslim invasion.
And, if the Muslims don’t take over, I will be handily armed for the necessary overthrowing of the government if Obama is reelected.
Or for the Zombie Apocalypse, which surely will happen first.
I have no idea who Dave Mustain is or what Megadeth sounds like. And instead of feeling old and out of touch, I’m feeling very proud of myself.
