FIND ME AT THE BARRICADE

FIND ME AT THE BARRICADE — Hello, I'm a 25 year old music enthusiast and I like to share my unsolicited opinions with the world.

The Prince of Darkness turns 74!

The happiest of birthdays to the man, the myth, the legend. Ozzy Osbourne reached age 74, and with that, has defied all the laws of life. I hope that they find an immortality potion soon so we can keep the Godfather of Metal alive forever!

METALLICA DROPS NEW SONG: LUX ÆTERNA

I'll be honest... I haven't been impressed with any of the music that Metallica has brought out post 1988. Until today.

As soon as I pressed play on the new song, titled Lux Æterna, I was met with fast, tight sounding drums (props to Lars, I knew he could do it!). Thrashy riffs and catchy vocals soon followed, and before I knew it I had listened to the brand new single ten times in a row. In fact, I am listening to it right now while I am writing this.

If the rest of the album sounds anything like this thrashy new single, I'm a huge fan. We're going to have to be a little bit patient, because the album, titled 72 Seasons, will officially release April 14th, 2023.

Not only did the hugely successful metalband release a shiny new tune, they have also announced their M72 World Tour 2023 & 2014 (peep dates here!). Will you be going?

ROCKSTARS AS DOGS

What more could a person want when rock musicians and dogs exist? What if I told you that the two are much more similar than you might expect?

Let's have a look at some of the most iconic rockstars and the adorable dog breeds that they look strangely similar to!

[this article is satire and should not be taken seriously]

Slash as a Bouvier des Flandres

With his long, dark curls that cover most of his face, Slash closely resembles the soft-tempered Bouvier des Flandres.

Duff McKagan as a long-haired Dachshund

Now, don't shoot me, but Duff's long blonde locks and elongated, lanky shape instantly remind me of a long-haired dachshund!

Axl Rose as a silky terrier

Long, silky smooth auburn locks, and a quick temper. Am I talking about Axl Rose or about a silky terrier? The answer is; both!

James Hetfield as an Airdale terrier

If you squint your eyes you wouldn't even be able to tell the difference between these two friendly, moustached faces.

Kirk Hammett as a black poodle

This one should be obvious. Both Hammett and a black poodle share luscious black curls, big brown eyes, and a soft temper.

Lars Ulrich as a chihuahua

Okay, I hear you. I may have done Lars a little dirty with this one... But you can't deny that these two bear a striking resemblance.

Lemmy Kilmister as a Scottish terrier

It's the long hair and handlebar moustache that really makes this one convincing. What do you think?

Alice Cooper as an Afghan hound

Long black hair, intense gaze, slender face... Alice Cooper totally looks like an Afghan hound and you can't tell me otherwise.

Dave Mustaine as a Cocker spaniel

Whenever Dave doesn't wear his usual snarl, he looks awfully similar to a Cocker spaniel. What kind of magic is in this man's shampoo?!

Steven Tyler as a Shih tzu

Cheerful, fashionable (arguably), and the ability to reach some of the highest notes. I'd use those words to describe both Tyler and a Shih tzu.

Jimi Hendrix as a Portuguese waterdog

Both Jimi and the Portuguese waterdog sport a head full of dark hair, friendly eyes, and an optimistic and energetic personality.

Ozzy Osbourne as an English bulldog

How could you not feel happiness when looking at these pictures? The Prince of Darkness is nothing but a ball of joy, just like an English bulldog.

Whelp! That concludes the list. For now. I'm planning to add more rockstar-dog breed comparisons to this list as time goes by. If you have any suggestions, please do share them!
