@Stamatis125 another unique American actor, Sly Stallone! I am not sure if he was a motorsport enthusiast, but it doesnt matter, because he was Rocky Balboa and could beat a racecar with his fists and determination.
Anyways, on the subject of video games (and AI) here’s Sylvester inserted into Half-Life (my other favorite game):
soo on the subject of metal I came across this crazy story:
which was odd to listen to after seeing this video that made me think that Death Metal was campy fun, not actually murdery:
I was unaware of Death Metal evolving. However, we had the Butthole Surfers for our outrageousness:
they are old now and probably are still touring so heres a link:
Ok this hits and rings all the bells plus I’ve never heard of them, not being an Aussie
I’ve watched a couple YouTube docs on Mayhem. Totally insane stuff. There were a lot of really bizarre and bad things happening in Scandinavian black metal for a time.
If you’re interested in more black metal insanity, read about Burzum. Another really evil guy.
Are we ready for GG Allin? Not evil… but extremely extreme

Kevin Michael “GG” Allin (born Jesus Christ Allin; August 29, 1956 – June 28, 1993) was an American punk rock musician who performed and recorded with many groups during his career.[4] His live performances often featured transgressive acts, including self-mutilation, defecating on stage, and assaulting audience members, for which he was arrested and imprisoned on multiple occasions.[5]AllMusic called him “the most spectacular degenerate in rock n’ roll history”,[2] while G4TV’s *That’s Tough*labelled him the “toughest rock star in the world”.
GG is one of the most interesting men to live for sure. What wild guy.
His brother has been on Soft White Underbelly a few times now and has some incredibly interesting stories.
The editor, Jake was really into him. Much as I found Jake difficult, and extreme in his opinions, he sure did have some interesting interests!
The art director that served before me, Brian Brannon, was frontman for JFA, aka Jodie Foster’s Army. Possibly the best band name and logo ever. Paisley JFA logo. Fun story and cool guy I used to surf with.

JFA (Jodie Foster’s Army) is an American hardcore punk band formed in 1981, with roots in Arizonaand in Southern Californiaskateboard culture. The original members include Brian Brannon (vocals), Don “Redondo” Pendleton (guitar), Michael Cornelius (bass), and Mike “Bam-Bam” Sversvold (drums). Alan Bishop of Sun City Girls also played bass for a time. The band was pivotal in the development of the skate punk and Skate Rock scenes. Over the years, the lineup has included many bass players and drummers but the core of Brannon and Redondo has remained constant.
Well, I guess this leads us to Winston Smith art:
Winston Smith (born May 27, 1952) is an American artist, illustrator, and cover designer who primarily uses the medium of collage. He is probably best known for the artwork he has produced for the American punk rock group Dead Kennedys. He also designed the Motéma Music logo.
Smith is particularly known for his collaborations with Jello Biafra (former Dead Kennedys frontman) and Alternative Tentacles, for whom he has done numerous covers, inserts, advertisements, flyers, and logos. He is responsible for the famous Alternative Tentacles logo as well as the well-known Dead Kennedys logo and six of their record covers. One of his compositions, God Told Me to Skin You Alive, was used as the cover of Green Day’s album Insomniac.
Speaking of Dead Kennedys, Brian needed some people to make noises on a song called clown party so I was in a recording studio with Brian and Jello Biafra. I have zero musical talent or even ability so the extent of my contribution was to shout “CLOWN PARTY” into the mic when Brian signaled.
Thrasher may have been a career dead end but man it was interesting.
Ooh I like this! Nice addition!
What do we call this? It has that melodic ballad quality but also really fast percussion and metal type guitar.
80s nostalgia / metal hybrid? Guitar solo feels like it’s a bmx race/ karate kid nod.
Our oldies are much better than our grandparents music. 
Jello is a really interesting guy too. He’s kind of in his cringey-old-man-shouts-at-clouds phase now, but I LOVE Dead Kennedys. They are still in my daily rotation.
This is one my favs from them:
I was hoping GG Allin would not enter the chat 
The music is evergreen, really. Iirc he also ran for mayor of SF.
He did, on bizarre stances. Strange guy, but made some really timeless music for sure.
Bandidos tried to waylay my stagecoach on Rebel Scum Road this am.
They did not have a 911, however, so I managed to escape. Careful out there on Copperhead Road. The Agean Pirates might get similar ideas.
Gorgeous scenery out there . You are lucky to see that .
Good day dom !
What’s playing? I think some Ouzo is in order here.
