Dave Mustaine, you go too far!

Once upon a time in the 1980s, a fiery and feisty guitar player was kicked out of a band that would one day become the biggest and most celebrated metal band on the planet. He vowed that he was make them pay for their treachery by creating his own epic metal band and kick their collective teeth in. Sadly for him, his band could never match the previous band's successes: like winning Grammys or having a #1 album on the Billboard 200 chart. Oh, he did well for himself, but he just couldn't surpass his former peers and was relegated to always being #2. Through sheer force of will, this fiery, feisty guitar player was able to make records throughout the decades and turn in some pretty massive work. And even through the bad times, some career-threatening, he managed to surmount these obstacles and be revered as one of the forefathers of an important movement, this one being thrash metal. And then..... he found GOD! And that's when it went to shit! Dave Mustaine has gone on record as being a Christian and that he wishes to only preach God's message of love and hope, but lately it has been anything but! Mr. Mustaine has gone on record as being against gay marriage, a devoted Republican and supporting equally-psychotic candidates (Rick Santorum, anyone?), and now has gone on to attack our president. What's worse is that he has now stated that President Obama is responsible for the recent attacks involving firearms in both Aurora, Colorado and the Sikh Temple in Wisconsin. The once-levelheaded and usually-intelligent Dave Mustaine has truly lost it! In a shocking statement, Mustaine believes that Obama is trying to get rid of guns by staging these attacks in an effort to pass a ban. It's the same piece-of-crap conspiracy theories that plagued this country since 9/11 when everyone believed that then-President Bush and then-Vice President Cheney were responsible. Only this time, in Mustaine's case, it seems to smack of typical racist Republican contrite, made even more obscenely by the fact that a once-levelheaded individual in a much-maligned occupation is saying these things. There's no grounds or proof to say such heinous and unpatriotic things other than to exercise his freedom of speech. Mustaine, a former drug addict, and his comments are the closest thing to come anarchy and all-around sheer stupidity. My guess is that either Dave Mustaine has been hitting the crack pipe once again, or he's in desperate, dire need of attention. Sorry, Dave, we're not listening this time. Translation: GO FUCK YOURSELF!

My Scripts

This is what nine completed film screenplays and six completed stage plays (in one folder) - written by Yours Truly - look like, proving once again that metalheads can be creative in other fields of art and media. :)

SAG-AFTRA, bitches!!!!!

Not exactly metal news, especially since news from that end has gotten old and stale as of late (check out Blabbermouth if you don't believe me), but I thought this would be a nice breakaway and a change to this blog.

As of March 30th 2012, Yours Truly and MetalBro4Life is now a proud member of both the Screen Actors Guild and the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists, once separate unions and actors' guild now formed together under one name.

Best thing to come out of this merger? I didn't have to pay the $2,330 it costs to join SAG! Even better, the new cost to join SAG-AFTRA has ballooned to $3,000, which I STILL don't have to pay!

But wait, there's more!

This coming June 8th will mark the one-year anniversary of my joining AFTRA; and being in good standing, plus the recent principal role I acted in in a recent SAG short film called Sweatshop Kid, I will be able to join yet another sister-union known Actors Equity, the theater-actors' union!

What am I getting at with all of this news and information that none of you idiot metalheads have a single clue about? Simply that I have been doing quite well for myself and that I am a true professional actor who is getting along just fine WITHOUT metal or the tepid scene that is once again dwindling due to lackluster tour packages and less-than-stellar music.

Once again, I RULE!!!!! :)
