Should I buy a box of Naturals Dirt or Naturals Jucy Lucy Cigars (both are made by Drew Estate - the guy(s) who make Acid cigars). I need help deciding - I'll be buying it in two hours.

I don't know much about cigars, but Jucy Lucy just sounds better!

The first single from the New Metallica album is out. if you had any doubts about the quality of the album this time or if they could still produce good metal, doubts should be gone after hearing this.

I'm sorry, if you don't like this, you have no ear for metal.

Very much a ballad type at the beginning but gets very Metallicaish at the later part of the single...very good mix...reminiscent of Fade to Black, Creeping Death and The Thing That Should Not Be.

Since we're talking about music. Just got Weezer tickets today.

I am TRYING!!!! TRYING SO HARD to like this new album... $:-\$

but, it is just like LOAD and RELOAD in my eyes...same exact delivery.

Good, but not great.

Bring back "the four horsemen", "fight fire with fire", "Orion", "leper messiah"....etc.

They did "better" this time, but they will never be what they were...never.

Kinda have too agree here. Lars drums sound kinda like a drum machine, and kirks guitar sounds kind of generic. None of that soulful guru guitar sound that made him. Ive been a Metallica fan since they were playing in garages and real small clubs, and this has not done it for me yet.

I agree.

When i listen to their first 4 albums(kill'em all, ride the lightning, master of puppets, and justice for all), there is just this perfect harmony of all the instruments working perfectly together.

This new album is not even close, but at least they are still trying...

I still listen to them all the time, they were one of the best bands ever IMO...only the 80's albums count. The black album killed them, but many like it for some reason. as soon as enter sandman became a hit, i knew they were done with...

Here's how I see it. The first 5 albums were great, "Kill'em All" is good simply because it's the first, but it's the next 3 that defined Metallica, "Ride the Lightning" "Master of Puppets" and "...And Justice For All." After that, the "Black Album" IMO is still one of the best....although different then the first 4 albums, it is still one of the best metal albums ever...better production quality then the first 4 and for whatever reason some people see that as not cool...I don't understand that.

Now the Load albums....good albums although not as good as the first 5. Even so, IMO, if any other metal/rock band had recorded those load albums, they wold have been huge hits. With Metallica it's like when an actor gets type cast, i.e. an actor becomes a huge action actor and he can do nothing else simply because people associate him with that only. IMO, some of the Load and Re-Load songs, "King Nothing" "Ain't My Bitch" "Fuel" "The Memory Remains" those songs are as Metallica as any other they ever did.

Sorry to change subjects, but I gotta vent....I was doing weighted dips for chest tonight and on my second set I went down on the 9th rep and heard a tearing sound in my rear shoulder just under my rear delt. I'm in excruciating pain right now and it's swollen up a bit. No hemorrhaging as of yet (not sure if it will). This area has been a pain in the ass for me as it's constantly giving me trouble, always have to be very careful and I guess this time it just gave out. I'm not sure if it actually tore (I'm assuming it did) but it may have just pulled. I'm just fucking pissed right now because I'm in week 5 of a new cycle, which is when I usually start seeing my best gains and this is going to set me back....FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry to hear that, if it bruises, see an ortho quickly.

I have never felt comfortable while doing heavy dips, very easy exercise to get injured on.

I agree with most of that.

The black album was completely different in every single way than the other albums. while i did like unforgiven and the god that failed, the rest were too mainstream for my taste. i judged the album a failure, but everyone else thought it was their best ever.

They went soft IMO.

Load/Reload have a few hits, but not my style of metal.

NOTHING will ever touch Kill'em All or Ride the Lightning...and that is the way it should be.

Brutal bro...Hope it is not torn...

Ultrasound helped my minor hammy tear heal up fast. Was skeptical but worked well. Good luck E!

Ahhh damn E. I hope your alright bro. Get it looked at bro, don't waste any time. Take care of yourself and keep us informed.

Emmortal · « **Reply #2091 on:** August 26, 2008, 12:38:58 PM »

Thanks for the kind words guys. I iced it down last night and shot 10ius of GH into the area. The swelling is way down this morning, no bruising or anything so hopefully it was just a bad pull. I need to call my Ortho today to see if he can get me in to take a look at it. Mobility is slightly better, but still very painful.

On a another note, some of you may have recalled I was diagnosed with severe sleep apnea a while back. I went through 2 sleep studies and will finally be getting a CPAP machine, hopefully this week. So some kind of good news along with the bad

Sorry to hear that Emmortal, nothing sucks like an injury. Like Overload mentioned, those heavy dips can be a disaster in waiting for a lot of guys...of course that doesn't help you much right now.

As hard as it might be, rest bro...in the end you'll probably come out even better.

Thanks bro. I'm really tempted to go in and do legs today, but I can't even load plates lol. I'm just going to rest the rest of the week and recoup. And I won't be doing heavy dips anymore lol.

I know the feeling...but whatever you do, don't be like I used to be. Several times when I was younger and dumber, I would have an injury that was serious enough where I should have rested altogether but didn't. Long story short, it always made things worse.

You are getting wise young man!

I have had a chronic elbow tendinitis (sp?) since my show. Taken the last two weeks off. Feel real small but once I am able to stay in a pushup stance without pain, will go back. Was affecting all lifts.

A lot of time out of the gym sucks but it is the only way to mend my friend

Does spot injecting GH really work?
