Fans at our last autograph signing in New York City.If you're like me, and you've been around metal long enough, you've probably heard every band on earth talk about how "it's all about the fans". Gene Simmons says it all the time, and Lars Ulrich says it every hour on the hour. He's so timely about it, actually, that most atomic clocks are set according to Lars spewing that line. Look, I know that Gene Simmons doesn't really count as "metal", but you get my point. I mean, I've even heard David Vincent say that "it's all about the fans"...so you know it must be true. Here at Metal Inquisition, we are no different. We love our fans, although it's worth mentioning that unlike Gene, and Lars, our fans have not afforded us the ability to live off of them. Notice I didn't include David Vincent in that last part about living off of someone, since I wouldn't exactly consider renting a two bedroom apartment in Tampa, along with our wife and three kids "living". Still, our monetary situation may change soon, since our line of yo-yos has yet to drop.
But I'm getting off topic. Over the last year and a half many of you have gotten to know us, the MI staff, through our fantastically well-written pieces. Now, we'd like to learn more about you, the MI reader. I often look to see who is currently reading the blog, and I see people from Argentina, Bulgaria, Italy, Turkey, and Belize. I also see readers from odd places like Exxon, Yale and Harvard, who I'm sure are writing their Phd dissertations about wigger slam, and are currently using us as a source. Through all this I'm left to wonder, much like Jerry Seinfeld did, "who are these people?" So I'm now asking you to tell us. Please! In the comments section, please answer the following:
1. Where do you live? (City, country)
2. How old are you?
3. What do you do for a living?
4. How did you first come to the blog?
5. How often do you check the blog?
6. If you had access to the Nocturnus time machine, would you go back in time and make the bus run Lars over instead of Cliff ?

6.

Yes, there are elements of Justice that are good... but would I sacrifice Justice in order to rid the world of Black, Load, Reload, and St Anger? Possibly. Probably.

4. How did you first come to the blog?
My girlfriend told me about a blog full of metal-stupidity so I had to check it out immediately.
5. How often do you check the blog?
When my reader warns me of new and terrible content or when I feel like laughing at myself as a bald metalhead.
6. If you had access to the Nocturnus time machine, would you go back in time and make the bus run Lars over instead of Cliff ?
Of course not, Load is the best Metallica album and that's all thanks to Lars...with some help of their best producer ever, Bob "Motherfucker" Rock. I'm serious on this one.

5. As a student of moral philosophy, and a deontologist at that, I would have to say - no. Even Lars has certain basic moral rights which would make this kind of trade-off impermissible. Only sometimes, when catastrophes of immeasurable proportions (e.g. nuclear explosion that would wipe out whole NY city area) are involved, can we be permitted to disregard these basic rights, and in this case, there is no such catastrophe involved... oh, wait, I just remembered St.Anger! Ok, I change my answer to "yes".

Zachary, the post about Manowar's real estate holdings got a ton of views, and was translated in full (complete with image captions) to at least three languages. I think the one that got the most responses was the post about scene archetypes that sarge hates. if bikesnob nyc mentions the blog, we can see a spike in readership, though i imagine most of those people click on the link, see what this blog is and automatically go elsewhere. having said all that, this may be the post with the most replies thus far.
ReplyDeletean early post about black metal and high fashion got posted in a few legitimate fashion blogs in nyc, i don't know why, that was a visible spike back then also.

Sat in the Office on a job in Reykjavik a week before Christmas killing time instead of cataloguing finds searching for Black Metal on the net. I then spent the rest of that week reading the old pieces and trying not to laugh out loud or get sent outside into the snow...
5. How often do you check the blog?
When the Google reading list tells me of a new Piece and then a few more times to read the comments.
6. If you had access to the Nocturnus time machine, would you go back in time and make the bus run Lars over instead of Cliff ?
No, I'd probably use it to go back to the days when we all had to write to each other in letters, record fifth generation tapes for people we'd never met in Kuala Lumpur or Sao Paulo and cherish strictly limited 500 pressed LPs and CDs far more than these modern day Myspace Emo cunts do.

Instead I'd go back to 1993 after Anthrax put out Sound of White Noise and beg them all to not put out any more music ever. Because I love that album, but dear Christ, they really needed to give it a fucking rest after that.

5. Once a day during the work week
6. No, just because it's nice to blame every disappointing thing the band has done on Cliff not being there. "Cliff never would have cut his hair! Cliff never would have played on a country ballad! Cliff would have laughed Kirk's riff for 'Enter Sandman' right out of the room and punched him in his horrifically crooked teeth!" I mean, I totally feel like I know the man personally because I listened to him play bass on 26 songs! I mean, he wore Misfits shirts, so he was totally metal... or something?

6. Wasn't Anthrax also on that tour or an intersecting tour with Metallica when that bus crash occurred? What if, and stay with me on this... What if the bus crash killed Scott Ian instead of Cliff? Would we be in a better metal place now? Please feel free to discuss amongst yourselves.
