wednesday is double metallica day

a few videos of vintage metallica.

the first is from woodstock '99. 3 days of "peace and music". feels like 100 degrees outside. its dirty. porta-pots are overflowing, everyone is slipping in shit and mud. water costs $7.00. people are pissed. they have waited all day to see metallichuck. suddenly, the clouds came in dark and heavy, the wind picked up, people were throwing glass and wood shards, starting fires everywhere and crowd surfing on these giants panels ripped from the sides of the stage. when the panels fell, they crushed half a dozen people or so. gasping at the hot, sticky air instead you get a mouthful of some sunburned, sweaty fan who drove all the way from south jersey and has been drunk for 3 days straight. i thought i was going to die. i really did believe the apocalypse was coming, ushered in by the four horsemen of james, jason, kirk, and lars. i figured that if this is how i was going to go, it was pretty fucking metal.
(watch the whole clip... the end is awesome).

1989. i was 8. but probably the most mint clip ever found.

news footage from a show in montreal, canada. 1991. metallica played with Gn'R, james is scalded by a stage pyrotechnic, they stop playing. axl comes out to say that guns n' roses aren't going to play either. riots ensue. the quebecquois are all a-frenzy. its mostly in french--but i imagine they are trashing on axl pretty badly.

despite how much i tend to hate him, lars plays badass drums.

and james kills a buffalo.

a new study regarding primate IQ has found that orangutans are the smaaaaaartest monkeys, slightly more so than chimpanzees. known as "the old man of the forest," they have the capability to display patience and deliberation, make umbrellas, escape extremely easily from the zoo, and be orange.
humans still rule the world, except for sad tara.

cat love + dead bird + sweet dirt cars

i don't really want to be that kind of "blogger" (not totally comfortable with that term yet) who posts pictures of cats, but this was weird:

wish i could post video footage. immediately following this photo, the white cat starting chewing on the ear of the other cat and giving him a tongue bath. they are both boys. i think i witnessed some secret deviant cat behavior.

i also hit a bird.


and learned "asphalt's for pussies"

i missed vermont.
