This is seriously why every smart record store keeps a stack of @bazillionpoints books on hand! ⚡️

My favorite thing to do while reading books about metal, is to listen to the music that’s mentioned in the book as I read.

@sewage666 Hey, Helium is inert, it doesn't react with anything, there's a fixed supply on this planet, and the U.S. released most of its strategic supply of helium in the 1990s. So you're not wrong.... but fuck it, I'm not giving up baloooons!!!!

Today in 1814, the Great London Beer Flood killed least 8 people when 320,000 gallons of hot brown porter ale burst out of the Horse Shoe Brewery, releaseing a 15-foot wall of alcoholic terror into the slum of St Giles Rookery. Cheers to the victims!

Metal exists to confront all the bullshit, not to help you forget about it! Even escapists like Ronnie James Dio filled their songs with messages. And punk adopted those values from bands like Sabbath... ⚡️
