Pittsburgh

[PSUMike]

Did you guys know that Pat from Helltown is John Kimmich's cousin?

I knew he had ties to Pittsburgh. His brother lives in the North Hills somewhere. My coworker's father and Kimmich's brother are best friends. Pretty sure his brother helped bankroll him when he was starting off (brother is apparently loaded).

Damn you Nate, i've officially wandered down the Fugazi rabbit hole.............there goes my day

Truth be told, I never got into Fugazi or a lot of MacKaye's stuff. I've never been a fan of his voice, & all his bands are just so serious, not very fun. Interesting to read about, but his output just doesn't resonate with me. Just another way me & kbuzz are like...

Speaking of fugazi and wandering into holes:

And so it begins............

Truth be told, I never got into Fugazi or a lot of MacKaye's stuff. I've never been a fan of his voice, & all his bands are just so serious, not very fun. Interesting to read about, but his output just never really resonated with me. Just another way me & kbuzz are like...

I was never a big Minor Threat fan but Fugazi will always have a place in my collection, especially their later albums. They ditched a lot of the straight forward indie punk sounds for a more angular tension. Red Medicine is one hell of an album.

I listen to more Fugazi now than Minor Threat...but Minor Threat will always hold a place in my heart. I lived just outside of DC when I first started getting into punk and Ian MacKaye was a god down there (still is, I'd assume)...and I used to see him in record stores all the time...really, really great guy. Saw him speak here at CMU(?? Pitt?) a number of years ago. One of my dogs is even named after him (MacKaye, not Ian)...

Have you ever heard his stuff with the Evens? It's a little less "hardcore" than previous material...

I should really revisit them, I can't say I gave their later stuff much of a chance. I was always fascinated by the dub influence, that was kind of my entry point.

Wait, wait, wait...........this can't be a beer talk thread because we aren't talking about METAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[OneDropSoup]

Oh ****, this again? Dude, you're not gonna win.

 

[Beerwanderer]

Hey, we can all agree that it is fair game to give Randy **** about being a Montreal Canadians fan.

Feel free to try. Canadians come from families that are half Habs fans and half wrong so you learn how to win those battles.

 

[tommyguz]

What are you guys talking about ? What is Fingzu?

 

[OneDropSoup]

What are you guys talking about ? What is Fingzu?

They were a hardcore rap-metal band from BC, Canada, founded by Ian "Duff" McKagan. Here's a pic:

Man, it must suck to not have a Canadian team in the playoffs, let alone win the Cup again this year.

Don't get me started on that Betman *******. It's a crime that he's touched the cup with his dirty money grubbing basketball hands.

Dude his parents were killed right in front of him when he was little and he became the hero we deserve, or need, or something. Cut him some slack.

Edit:my bad i misunderstood your post.

Lego Batman > Christian Bale Batman

 

[barflybastard]

But Bale was the only good Batman.

 

[AnotherPint4Ole]

Christopher Nolan + Christian Bale Batman = ******* awesome

You are not a real Pittsburgher if you actually think this. Have some ******* Keaton pride, man.

 

[OneDropSoup]

Wishing BG still had some of that purple drank on.

Yes, but none of these guys had bat nipples on their suit like George Clooney did.

Hypothetically Goldblum would be the best Pittsburgh Batman.

 

[Grodd87]

As a movie they are great but bale was never batman he was to grounded and even ledger joker was not really the joker I love the movie for what they are great movies but. Keaton and conroy are the two best batmans

 

[Grodd87]

Speaking of batman and prince what a good soundtrack so sad to hear about prince huge fan and this one hurts

 

[MooseLang]

Never say never. Lots of reboots of reboots to be made.

Valid point.
