Cliff with a flower crown
Created February 10, 2022
Happy birthday, Cliff, and thank you for what you've done for Metallica, bass, metal, and music in general. You'll always be missed.
Please credit me if used somewhere public or something, um hi 🔪
I always forget which account to send asks to but…… how’ve you been? into anything new lately? how do you like 72 seasons? 
Honestly you're fine to send to either one if you forget, though blue account is my main for personal stuff (and in theory whatever I want) which includes asks, so this is getting reblogged there to keep asks in the same place!!
I ABSOLUTELY ADORE 72 Seasons!! Honestly it's so hard to pick a favorite song or even a few favorites because they're just all so good, but I think my favorites for now are Screaming Suicide, Room Of Mirrors, If Darkness Had a Son, Chasing Light, aaaaand I am on the way to naming the whole album so I will forcefully cut myself off, hjdjsjjs, album my beloved <3 I also have a (probably?) unconfirmed theory that Inamorata is about the book Misery by Stephen King, so I think about that a lot as I absolutely adore that book
New stuff I like, in terms of bands, I have been surprisingly steady for a while in what bands I've been discovering, but the main one I have been extremely in love with that I don't think I've mentioned anywhere on tumblr is Robespierre! They're unfortunately not on Spotify so I have to use YouTube + they only have two albums if I'm remembering right so there's not that much to listen to from them, but I am absolutely in love with their songs Decapitation and Robespierre, hfjskak. Also their French Revolution theme, big reason of why I listened to them in the first place (we ended up learning about the French Revolution in French class up to when the king was dethroned, but then I did research on my own and got really interested in it, so :)) ), and it makes me happy when I listen to the band :D
Also I have been reading BOOKS!! Finished Bruce Dickinson (Iron Maiden singer)'s autobiography just a couple days ago and really enjoyed it (plus for a lot of info out of it to store for later use!), so now I'm onto I Found My Friends, which is an oral history of Nirvana!! It's basically a lot of guys from the early Nirvana scene talking about what it was like where I'm at (~45% done), which is super interesting to me because it really goes into a lot of the culture of it. Plus I checked at the end and there's a list of all of their concerts!! With dates and such, plus corroborated by witnesses that speak in the book and played alongside them!!!
Gonna cut myself off here because I could very well go on for a while but I'm getting rambley, fhjsjsj, thank you so much for asking!! <3

Interviewer: Why did Tommy leave the band?
Joey: Well, because Tommy turned into a vegetable. He's in the rubber room right now, you know. Nobody's heard from him since. No, Tom's producing.

Hi :D The blog I use as a main blog is @sobbingdistantnoises, send non band related asks there? <3-This blog is (mostly) purely for metal+punk bands I like and (mostly) purely for stuff I cut from a larger source myself: correct quotes, gifs, edits, clips, obsureish facts, the occasional other thing. I do my best to always include sources :) -I do not post here as much anymore, but I do still listen to almost exclusively metal+punk, so maybe eventually I shall make my proper return -<3
