The final paragraph in its entirety is a thing of beauty:

I actually don't think St. Anger is 100
percent terrible, meaning I've only missed this particular revisionist movement by about a year, but Johnny got his gun shaped like a bong and whaddya expect from an
immobile limbless torso? The album is anarcho-crust for the Imperium era, Flux of Pink Indians with their tits "accidentally" falling out on prime time. Or it could've been, if Metallica still did songs like "Disposable Heroes" or "For Whom the Bell Tolls." Now is the time for subversion! They should get back to the Bay Area and start writing songs with David Crosby: You must eat some of my purple berries and kick some ass tonight! Then they could talk about sperm. Lord, that was a freakish-looking discharge they stuck on that 1996 album cover. Like something you'd see if you were tripping during the "drums/space" section of the Metallica live experience--you won't get psychedelic thrills like that at an R.E.M. show. Miracle me a thing that should not be! Okay, page 1,287 of the Necronomicon, here we go: "Uug, uduug, uuga, gishtugbi... NO! NO! GIMME BACK MY GUTS! Arrrrghh! [squish]"

I can but marvel.

Miracle me a thing that should not be!

ha ha omg how did I miss this?

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Wednesday, 11 August 2004 16:23 (twenty-one years ago)

i don't get it

― City Pages Reader, Wednesday, 11 August 2004 16:25 (twenty-one years ago)

I didn't get it either, but it sure was entertaining.

― Barry Bruner (Barry Bruner), Wednesday, 11 August 2004 16:34 (twenty-one years ago)

The next challenge: to see if can sustain his vision over the course of a whole entire book.

― Michael Daddino (epicharmus), Wednesday, 11 August 2004 17:14 (twenty-one years ago)

I have a naive and simple faith in this dream.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 11 August 2004 18:01 (twenty-one years ago)

At the very least, the Lester Bangs estate should give Dave an unfinished manuscript to tidy up some.

― Michael Daddino (epicharmus), Wednesday, 11 August 2004 18:04 (twenty-one years ago)

I didn't really get it. I mean Metallica deserves it all, but they're still quite an easy target. But "Scandinavian shit like tennis and suicide" kind of made me laugh though.

― strom (strom), Wednesday, 11 August 2004 18:10 (twenty-one years ago)

its good to laugh

― kephm, Wednesday, 11 August 2004 18:35 (twenty-one years ago)

someone needs to revive the dave q appreciation thread

― kephm, Wednesday, 11 August 2004 18:35 (twenty-one years ago)

drums/space :)

― SEXYdANCER, Wednesday, 11 August 2004 18:56 (twenty-one years ago)

what a stupid "review"... it was just a rant that had no purpose at all. thanks a lot, dickwad.

― Jeff Cunt, Thursday, 12 August 2004 05:06 (twenty-one years ago)

well, it was more about the writer than his subject, which is what all good rockcrit these days should be, right?

― spoony G, Thursday, 12 August 2004 05:11 (twenty-one years ago)

i thought it was a review about metallica and how full of suck they are.

― drew, Thursday, 12 August 2004 05:29 (twenty-one years ago)

not really. read between the lines.

― spoony G, Thursday, 12 August 2004 05:30 (twenty-one years ago)

Dave Q is more interesting than Metallica anyway.

― Fergal (Ferg), Thursday, 12 August 2004 10:37 (twenty-one years ago)

It seemed rather self-indulgent and self-important to me. just another 'rock critic' who lets his pre-formed opinions get in the way of making rational assessments.

― daveqcansuckit, Thursday, 12 August 2004 18:51 (twenty-one years ago)

beats being a boring anon pussy. says i.

― g--ff (gcannon), Thursday, 12 August 2004 18:56 (twenty-one years ago)

yeah - the drums/space comment was pretty fucking hilarious.

― peter smith (plsmith), Thursday, 12 August 2004 18:57 (twenty-one years ago)

I wish q wd come back, he was my favourite poster

― fcussen (Burger), Thursday, 12 August 2004 18:58 (twenty-one years ago)

― cºzen (Cozen), Thursday, 12 August 2004 19:04 (twenty-one years ago)

― g--ff (gcannon), Thursday, 12 August 2004 19:08 (twenty-one years ago)

i am at a loss for words

― geeta (geeta), Thursday, 12 August 2004 19:33 (twenty-one years ago)
