Pulp Fiction Review





In my opinion Pulp Fiction is one of the best movies ever made. Pulp Fiction is the dark, humerous and sick story of Gangster's Vincent Vega (John Travolta) and Jules Winnfield (Samuel L Jackson). the two work for mob boss Marsellus Wallace, doing all of his dirty work, which throught the movie includes, hunting down boxer Butch Coolidge (Bruce Willis) after he dis-obey's Marsellus by winning a fight instead of throwing it. the movie is shot in different sequences having the first scene of the movie in-time accually occuring at the end of the movie. It is packed full of great actors like; Uma Thurman, Samuel L Jackson, John Travolta, Bruce Willis, Harvey Kietel, and Ving Rhames. Pulp fiction is definetly in my opinion one of the best movies ever made.

Slayer

Slayer is a 4 membered metal band formed in Huntingtion Park, California in 1981. Slayer was technically the first true metal band. Slayer was different from other bands in their era because of their use of tremelo picking, wicked guitar solo's and were one of the first bands to begin using the double-bass kick. The topics they sang about usually involved satanism, war, religion and serial killers. Slayer really took the use of the whole satanic worship idea, they used pentagrams and pictures of the devil to promote their evil image.

There has been a lot of controvercy for slayer from other religions and the media, for example this logo



made a lot of relgions angry because they were promoting satan, ALTHOUGH.. lead singer and bassist Tom Araya is a christian with a jewish wife.

Slayer of: Kerry King (Founder, lead guitar), Jeff Hannamen (Founder, Rythmn guitar), Tom Araya (bassist, vocals) and current drummer Jeff Lombardo.

Metalocalypse


Metalocalypse is a very dark comedy about a death metal band called "Dethklok". the show is basically about the bands success and is illistrated through very dark and grousome things such as their live performances which involves the killing of fans as a means of putting on a good show. the show for the most part takes place in "Dethklok's" billion dollar mansion "Mordhaus", where the band has all of there little shinanigans.
The band consists of:
Nathan Explosion


Nathan is the bands vocalist and write most of dethkloks songs. he speaks in a very deep voice even when not singing. Nathan is the leader of dethklok. Nathan is a very big guy and is probably the most intimidating member of the band. Nathan is an alchoholic aswell as the rest of the band members, although he has the strongest liver taking him exactly 100 beers to get drunk.

Skwisgaar Skwigelf





Skwisgaar is the lead guitarist for dethklok. he is the fastest guitar player in the world. he is swedish and he has a tall skinny build with long bleach blonde hair and likes to think of himself as the greatest thing since sliced bread. Skwisgaar is always playing guitar infact there is rarely a scene where he does not have a guitar in his hands.

                                                                         Toki Wartooth

Toki Wartooth is dethkoloks rythmn guitarist. he is the most immiture member of the band resembling an 8 year old.Toki is the youngest member of dethklok and is only there to have fun. toki looks up to skwisgaar fo guidance but is usually shut down because skwisgaar hates him. In his passtime Toki is usually eating candy supplied by his endorsers or hanging out the Doctor Roxo The Rock'n'Roll Clown. Toki is jacked with long brown hair and a fu-man-chu mustache.

Pickles The Drummer


Pickles as his name says is dethkloks drummer. he is an average build with orange dreadlocks and 2 eyebrow rings in each brow. Pickles has been addicted to every drug known to man and is now immune, he is always drinking but it has no effect on him. pickles hates his family more than anything in the world because they are always trying to  get his ex-con brother to be dethkloks manager.

William Murderface


William Murderface is dethkloks bass player. He got his name after he witnessed his father kill his mother and himself with a chainsaw. he is the most angry member in the band and is obsessed with morbid crap. in his free time he likes to piss off the bands manager and just likes "be'n a dick". murdeface's slur makes him an extremly funny character. he is a disgusting waste of a person being the grossest person in the band because he does not bath or brush his teeth. he has a tattoo on his stomach that says "Pobody's Nerfect", and is also in a side project band including just himself called "Planet Piss"

My 3 Least Favourite Bands

I would gladly list my 3 least favourite bands of all time.
3rd worst - my chemical romance
2nd worst - jonas brothers
WORST - metro station
(bands not spelt with capital letters because they don't diserve them)

3rd worst - my chemical romance makes me sick to my stomach. I cannot even imagine how desperate their label would have been to signed such an UN-talented band. As I am about to say about my other least favourite bands, they just repeat chords over and over and over again with the odd 4 dragged out note solos. This band is only in it for the money and not for the music.........dont get me started on the fans.........















2nd worst - the jonas brothers are corporate scum the onlt reason they are famous is because they were on the family chanel (same with Miley). they are just so bad. I get angry when I see them on TV playing live, they rotate 3 chords between themselves and let the guitarists at the back of the stage who can't do anything better with there lives play the fills (Your not fooling any musician). The jonas brothers have less talent than mcr and deserved to be punched in the face by Kimbo Slice.














WORST! - metro station is the worst band I have ever heard in my life. They are just pathetic, im speachless. Miley Cyrus's brother whatever his name is thought it would be cool to start a band and jack some of his sisters spotlight. The kid dresses like some hardcore kid wearing an "Acacia Strain" shirt as seen below and by the way if "The Acacia Strain" (AWESOME BAND) saw him wearing this shirt they at the very least would have a hit put on him, the kid thinks he's all tough and gets two monroe piercings which look goofy enough on girls. Now, as for the music, they have the worst sound ever; simple chords, bad singing, and no one knows how to play their insrument. They have less talent than mcr and the jonas brothers and Kimbo can have at em too.



My 3 Favourite Bands

If I had to list my 3 favourite bands i would have to say Parkway Drive, The Black Dahlia Murder, and WhiteChapel.

I chose Parkway drive because they are an amazing 5 piece ensamble. there heavy breakdowns and metalcore riffs go great with the singers screams. I have been playing guitar for 4 years and Parkway drive is my favourite music to play. i have been listenning to them for years and that is why they are my favourite band.


My second favourite band would have to be The Black Dahlia Murder because of there pure shredding guitarsist, high screeching singing, and super intense breakdowns. I also chose them because they have one of my favourite guitarists ever in the band (Brian Eschbach).




Finally, my third favourite band would have to be WhiteChapel. I love WhiteChapel because they have some the heaviest riffs i have ever heard. They have the most BROOTAL and bonecrushing breakdowns i have ever heard. and there singer (Phil Bozeman) is a demon incarnate, he has the lowest growls i have ever heard in my life!
