Alex Skolnick is such a wildly skillful guitarist. Very much a flurry of notes soloist (in this band) but always memorable with near machine like precision which is kind of ironic as this is an anti-AI song!

While not a direct influence (that would be Randy Rhoades) Ace Frehley was the Rock n Roll in KISS. So much of the foundation of modern rock came from guitarist whose favorite guitarist was Ace. Here's me in a KISS cover band back in the 90s. RIP Space Ace, you will be missed.

All I can think is that is going to leave little sparkle flakes over everything ... and in making this joke I just realized I have no idea what they are really called!

"Young" and "boys" is doing a whole lot of heavy lifting here!

Your Final Answer Ep61 Dancing Queen Halloween

ggadwa.bsky.social @ggadwa.bsky.social · 7d

Blasts from the past -- a decade ago on Your Final Answer, the Repear does a completely unnecessary and weird metal version of Dancing Queen, and pokes gentle fun at Trekies with the character I can't believe never became a hit: Steampunk Stalin. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Srd5...

Hey, here's a TEN FOOT Doritos/Pepsi "Monster Bash" banner from the early '90s. This would've hung in the long front window of a supermarket, or maybe on the side of a building. It's absolutely ENORMOUS. (Take note of the Invisible Man, who was the Halloween mascot for Crystal Pepsi, of course!)

Is that a mummy giving Tor Johnson a noogie? They say all ideas are build on the work of others, but that's probably the most wholly original idea that has every been drawn!

I am now in possession of a super rare 24" Telco Devil from 1989, and even if you have no idea what that is, I hope you can still appreciate his dapper style.

Extremely old devil creature, seen here holding a Telco Halloween Motionette from 1989.

That devil really can't believe you won't trade your immortal soul for the slightly furrow-brow skull, complete with care sticker. It's a real deal!

Rust is also a computer language, one I work in every day while creating games. Every time I see somebody talking about the *game* rust being updated I get confused and think I need to update my compilers!

Curse of the Headless Horseman - Mondopiece Theatre

ggadwa.bsky.social @ggadwa.bsky.social · 12d

Let spend this week of Halloween posting some old episodes of Mondopiece Theatre, a show about the worst of the worst of exploitation movies, many "horror" movies. The quotes are self-evident. www.youtube.com/watch?v=RLaV...

... and yet the pickle still looks fresh as the day it was manufactured from sawdust and green lip stick. This is why it's wise to not eat pickles.

I assume this is the rare position of arguing against! 😜

It's Halloween time, and that means time to replay the most Halloween of all Halloweenish type videos on the Halloween season that discuss Halloween. Halloween. From X-E (Halloween), and later @dinosaurdracula.bsky.social -- still doing the same nonsense today. www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Nr_...

Let's be honest, I'll take Kaine any way as I love the character, but the trench coat look is the chef's kiss, though, it could use a couple more shoulder spikes ....

What's harder to draw? This or all the veins in the old costume? The scarlet spider costume is an easy draw!

ggadwa.bsky.social @ggadwa.bsky.social · 13d

I've read comics for decades, if I worried about every spike vs cape I'd go mad .. eh, ok, damn it, I think it's a cape!

ggadwa.bsky.social @ggadwa.bsky.social · 14d

Unrelated comic book nonsense for @delldracula.bsky.social ... the costume veins somewhat reflect the degeneration. So jury is still out, ironically that this took place in court!

To the other 3 people that follow me and this is confusing, ask me Spider-man continuity questions (please don't.)

Biafra, who I think has made some of the most important and still timely political conversations, has mentioned that he was kind of off on this one (or at least I remember reading.)

Stars and Stripes of Corruption still stands up there as an important piece of art.
