dear Lamb of God
your band is pretty good ... except i think that fact is directly attributable to the fact that you guys are trying to trick everyone into thinking you're not totally into Pantera. you see, lamb of god, i'm sitting here listening to this and the vision of some hessian long hair sitting in his room smoking mexican dirt weed and headbanging along to Vulgar Display of Power instantly materializes in my head. yeah, you do a good job of covering up the fact that you are basically Pantera II, but not good enough. and your guitar player is no dime bag darrel either. it's all good though, at least you're not aping your flows from metallica. that would be a disaster. i like pantera, screw it ... i even like down ... if i hadnt stolen this record of yours i would look at the liner notes, and in them, i would hope to see, in bold text, "Thank you Phil Anselmo, for inspiring us to drive camaros, wear nothing but denim and reebok high tops and beat up dudes we determine not to be fellow followers of the hessian movement." i guess what i'm basically trying to say is that i think this record is good, but only because of panteras existance.

... and everything before cowboys from hell was hilarious by the way ... actually, cowboys from hell was pretty bad too. sorry phillip eugene anselmo. you might be huge and scary, but you guys were undeniably studying, and devoutly following, the book of faggotry back in the 80's.

all this pantera talk reminds me that there is a guy named matt scott who should be blogging in here. but he's not. i dont get it. apparently we've lost another subscriber to the cause friends. a shame really. he was a good man.
