@jake4480 A perfectly reasoned argument can always be ruined by a weird typo or missspellling.
Something for anyone wondering about Gen X. I don't buy into a lot of the generational sub division stuff, but this was funny, at least I thought so before posting.
@tc_morekindness Wonderful news! 🎉
@jake4480 @tc_morekindness Bahahahaha. Exactly!!
@tc_morekindness @jake4480 and now, the 8-bit rendition of their hit song Trollhammaren
🤣🤣🤣
@tc_morekindness @jake4480 We're deep in Gabriel Garcia Marquez territory here. 😂

> On 16 March 2003, shortly before the release of Visor om slutet, guitarist Teemu Raimoranta died when he fell off a bridge in Hakaniemi, Helsinki. Although they had lost their last remaining founding member in this tragic event, the band did not dissolve, but after some time decided to go on...
also amusing:
> Finntroll's original singer, Katla, decided to use Swedish over Finnish since he was part of a Swedish-speaking minority in Finland and the sound of the language seemed to better suit the band's "trollish" outfit.
Swedish is the language of Trolls, apparently 😂
@jake4480 @tc_morekindness While it is tragic that the lead guitarist of Finntroll (the premiere Troll Metal band) died, he did die of a falling off a bridge, which feels befitting of a band that sings about troll related topics. 🧌
@tc_morekindness @jake4480 There is nothing quite so entertaining as exploring the family tree of Metal sub-genres.
Troll Metal?
Yeah, of course, at least until there's a schism amongst the like 3 bands that fit that category and they need to sub-divide into cave trolls vs. forest trolls vs. bridge trolls.
To each band there must be a sub genre!
@tc_morekindness Surely you're not Team Rainbow Krispies?
Maybe more of a Cinnamon Sugar Krispies gal?
@tc_morekindness Cocoa Pebbles then? :ablobcatbongo:
@jake4480 > And he's up there, what's that? Hawaiian noises?
> He's banging on the bongos like a chimpanzee
> Oh, that ain't workin', that's the way you do it
> Get your money for nothing, get your chicks for free
do you know the story behind the lyrics?
They're cribbed from a conversation overheard by Mark Knopfler listening to a couple guys complaining about the musicians on MTV. 😂
@fistfulofdave I see your Warriors and raise you a PWEI
