Murder The Mountains Out Today!!!!! (AKA My Ideas For Album Titles)

It’s a pretty safe bet that most folks out there would think the toughest part of putting out a new record is the process of writing new songs, but those people would be wrong. Playing music is what these guys do, I don’t want to make it sound like they just go to the bathroom and drop out a new jam, clean up with a little T.P. and plop it down on to tape—there is a lot of blood, sweat and beers (Oh man, that's a record title right there) that go into every song. The problems start when you try to get four guys to agree on tracks, track listing (the order of the songs on the record), title and artwork. This is not because they fight each other (for the most part) but because no one will put their foot down, in fear of being the guy who came up with the name no one likes. The end result is much like a pack of monkeys trying to hump a football, it’s kind of awkward to watch and nothing comes of it.

So being the team player I am I came up with a bunch of album titles for them. They all got shot down. I’m not sure why, I thought they were pretty good:

Three Beards And A Bald Spot (guess who shot this one down)

Two Geeks, A Nerd And A Dweeb

Red Fang Two: Electric Boogaloo

Drunks Not Dead

Moshportunities

Fanny Packs and Girls Jeans (The hipsters would eat it up)

Hey Gandalf, Nice Dress! (Keep riding that Prehistoric-Dog wave)

In real small letters: This Is The New Red Fang album not the new (in big letters) LADY GAGA!

Snacks, Hugs And Rock n’ Roll

Red Fang: Grunge Is Still Cool Right?

What We Did For Our Summer 2013 Summer Vacation: Part Duex.

Okay, where were we? Slayer. That’s right. So, after all the craziness that was the first couple weeks of the tour we finally settled into our digs for the rest of the tour and met our driver Jens: Things you should know about Jens: The man can drive his ass off. You don’t want to eat his hummus, or he will kill you. If you’re a promoter that ripped off another band he was working for who happens to be at the show he is at, you best find a ATM because he will shake your ass down for all that loot. (Did that make any sense? I don't care.) After a quick bro down with him, we made our way to Interlaken where following a night of hanging with some road homies and watching some Rammstein… Wait, I have to say something right now. I, like a lot of people out there, have never given a good goddamn about Rammstein. Never got the allure. But after watching them live—HOLY FUCKING SHIT! I couldn’t tell you what one of their songs sounds like but their stage show ...

What We Did For Our 2013 Summer Vacation: Part One

Hey there world, it’s been a while—over a year. I know that a lot of bad stuff has happened out there since my last post and I’m sorry, I did not realize that this blog was the delicate thread that held the world together. Now I know and I’m going to try my best to get back on the horse and start really blogging about the important issues that you, the world, crave. Such as the regularity of our farts, and whether or not Bryan’s socks look like a well steeped tea bag. Because then and only then will you, the world, be able to relax knowing all that is important is, once again, available with the click of a mouse and feel free to kick your collective feet up and tackle this whole North Korea thing. But you have to understand, maintaining this blog is not as easy as it used to be for me. You see, now that we are international rock stars with up to 100 people showing up at every show, my duties with the band have changed. In the olden days (back in the early 2010’s) the world was m...

It was brought to my attention here (scroll to comments) that last time we were in town I didn’t do enough blogging about Aaron’s long-time friend Chad Belfor. Actually I’m surprised there wasn’t more comments on this subject. The people need to know what is going on with Chad at all times. The man is the heartbeat of the city, if Chicago is a heart, he is the Aorta. You put your finger on him to see if the city is still alive. For those of you who don’t know him let me fill you in on the enigma, wrapped in a puzzle, that is Chad Belfor: The first thing you might notice is that Chad is a deep well of emotion, look at him: But Chad is much more complex than that. Chad is a man who wears many hats. Husband, PGA card holder, father, former NASCAR driver, musician, gold medal Olympic athlete… Some of these things could be used to describe him. It’s no wonder that confidence just oozes from his pores: You got to be careful though because after he knocks back a couple tall cold ones the wil...
