Heavy Metal

Apologies to Pimp for missing THE last PIMPED OUT Crome Relic show. Scott made me feel real bad the other night at Fu Bar. Actually, Kevlar and I both missed the show but he didn't give a shit. He was spellbound talking to this girl who kept talking about her breasts. She said she won a T-shirt and then tore it off her body later when someone spilled a drink on it. At this point I think Kev managed a grunt between drags off his smoke. She continued on and mentioned that that was when she noticed 2 or 3 video cameras in the room. Funny how the cameras come out when babes get naked. Anyway, someone should throw up some video of Pimp's last performance, you know, for posterity. Or at least some clips of the one woman wet T-shirt contest.

"Crome Relic may play again, but never again with Ryan!(Pimp!) You guys suck!" - Scott, guitarist extraordinaire.

So, in an effort to atone for my non-metal viewing ass, here's part I of Heavy Metal Refugees from VBS.TV - Iraqi Metalheads Acrassicauda in Syria...

"In 2003, just after the US toppled the regime of Saddam Hussein, Vice magazine published an article on the only heavy metal band in Iraq, Acrassicauda. The Baghdad-based band was formed in the last few years of Saddam’s rule and aside from the typical problems every band has, they also had to deal with the stigma of playing dark western music in an Islamic state under Baath party rule, while coming out of a decade of war, sanctions, and poverty."
