Episode 5: Caught in a Pod OR What's the Deal With Thrash Metal?

Housekeeping

We go deep on how episodes are numbered and we call you 5150-heads. Hope that's ok.

That scene we got shot in is here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=apYgbp32L2M
it IS very sexy. We're are actors.

Paul is right Beachy Head is a hilarious name for the beautiful coastal spot that claims the lives of 20 people every year. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beachy_Head#Suicide_spot
Heh. Beachy.

We ARE doing a Crow Soundtrack podcast. It's episode 6. We're coming up with a stupid name. I'm thinking It Can't Pod All the Time.

Man, let's talk about the Crow for ages.

The Crow II's subtitle was City of Angels, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Crow#Film_and_TV
There are 2 more Crow sequels. we didn't talk about Rob Zombie's threat to make a fifth (Crow:2037) for which we apologize unreservedly.

Get Out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sRfnevzM9kQ (Hey, Stephen, go fucking watch Get Out, what's the matter with you?)

Stephen hates all movies but kinda liked "I Don't Feel at Home in This World Anymore" : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a891D5_bGY4

The Judgement Night soundtrack features Dinosaur Jr and De La Soul, but not on the same song : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judgment_Night_(soundtrack)
Stephen is almost an idiot. He has seen Coal Chamber twice (the second time was at Ozzfest 98, so that doesn't count, but the first time, c'mon Stephen, get your head in the game.)

Malice: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OzpqLRb2lfs 107 minutes and REALLY fucking good, ignore Rotten Tomatoes.
A Simple Plan: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wfJtnfG6EMI

Johnny Mnemonic wants a Club Sandwich: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KmrNxrY8WJI (this monolouge is beyond the acting talents of K Reeves)
Paul's delivery of the line sounded like "Hot Blooded" : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5c1m2BAg2Sc
I want room service
Check it and see

The best 15 seconds in patchy, sexist animated show American Dad : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YYh6YI3pXKE
Heh. Bones.

Paul watched Penny Dreadful so you don't have to: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penny_Dreadful_(TV_series)

Ad Read Wolves By Mail

Folks - you know the deal - anger. It's toxic, someone cuts you off in traffic, or leaves a negative Yelp review about your home business, you get mad. But what are you going to do?

Studies at an accredited university have shown that there is a non-statistically significant connection between unexpressed anger and illness. Statistical. You can't argue with that.

But here’s the deal – expressing your anger actually reduces overall stress and increases healthfulness.

So what’s the deal? Three words. Wolves By Mail. Take your revenge to the internet with a subscription to America’s first lupine delivery service. Email the license plate of the road hog and six weeks later a hungry Alaskan timber wolf shows up at their door, text the IP address of the Yelping keyboard warrior – and sometime later the next month – boom mailbox full of angry northern rocky mountain wolves.

You get your blood pressure down, they get what’s coming to them. What a deal.

Sign up now with the code “Seriously, they said they were going to do a podcast about Metallica” and we’ll put you on our “no come backs” list which means no one will be able to send a wolf back to you! (through our service only, you are not protected from other wolf-themed revenge schemes).

Wolves By Mail : Send a wolf, through the mail.

Featured Segment : What's the deal with thrash metal?

Ocean Color Scene : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WAta8CIF_4Y and Shed Seven : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8VED67gUNXM if this wasn't the soundrack to your college days then you had a better experience than Stephen.

Ash : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o-TVmhd-xcM
Elastica : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ilKcXIFi-Rc
Sounds familiar if you've heard this : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8QykauA8p14

Stone Roses first record
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Stone_Roses_(album) sold over 900,000 copies, after a slow start.

Hey, we're nailing this thrash thing.  Let's keep talking about it.

Jury's out on why some thrash is good and some is bad, but they have found the following songs guilty of badness
Testament :https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8YT8XX-640w
"Look at the lost soooooooouls! They seem so black!"
Exodus : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n3xC1I2rXHE
"Everybody's doin' the Toxic Waltz"
Lyrics by Micheal Scarn: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OTanzOm71HU
Exodus have no original members
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exodus_(American_band)#Former_members
Or original ideas. Boom! Take that Exodus.

Megadeth's street level thrash wardrobe

Are they on vacation?
Not mentioned, Megadeth's re-recording of Trust (Cryptic Writings 1997) en español : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VkDN4_4SyCY
If Dave gets his way the wall will get built they'll never need to play it on any US dates. Heh. Fascism.

Motley Crue, aw man this is gonna rock so hard :

Looks like it's not called the Sin club anymore : http://fanclub.motley.com/signup/
Uncle Slam:
 Paul described this exactly.

Stephen's assertion that they sold a lot of albums isn't proved https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uncle_Slam#Studio_albums
This one was by Michael Seiff https://www.discogs.com/artist/2246612-Michael-Seiff
Others were indeed by Ed Repka https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ed_Repka who also did a couple of Megadeth albums, he did not create Vic Rattlehead, would you be surprised if the credit for that went to Dave Mustaine? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vic_Rattlehead#Artists
BTW that whole wikipedia article is great.

It is unclear if Vic is a rip off of Eddie the Head, but c'mon.

I can't believe, I can't believe the price you pay
DYSWIDT?

The best thing, the "Through The Never" dedicated entrance. Wow. Missed a trick by not offering "Of Wolf and Man" doggie day-care.

The hole in the ozone layer is getting smaller http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2010/05/100505-science-environment-ozone-hole-25-years/ after reading this article the Council Of All Thrash Bands crossed it off the list of acceptable topics. Don't worry though, there are still many other environmental catastrophes heading our way.

"This next song  has to do with fucking politicians and the toxic waste polluters they take fucking kickbacks I say we stab all these mother fuckers"
Chemi-kill : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wf2pNq2WlPA
The singer of Exodus was not Bobby "Blitz" Ellsworth, he's the right-wing tool from Overkill, it was the late Paul Baloff https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Baloff who was stabbed to death by toxic politicians in 2002.

Dawn Patrol : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4yqfOi45y8I
No words.
It's not like they play it live
Oh yes they fucking do : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4r24Sb5bk0U Welcome to Dave Ellefson's bass clinic.

Anthrax : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cn3hqOwhCnw Godamn, they really love being Anthrax.
Peak Anthrax according to Stephen : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wfpuRKyGopo
