The last half of "Hangar 18" has no vocals and is thus one of the greatest half-songs in metal history. </p><p>So, off the top of my head, the top 5 bands that would be exponentially better by replacing their singer: </p><p>1. Megadeth</p><p>2. Rush</p><p>3. Accept</p><p>4. Type O Negative</p><p>5. Vio-lence (although it's so bad I kinda like it?) </p><p>Yeah, these are all metal, and there's probably some obvious ones I forgot about. There are a ton of thrash bands that went for the falsetto / sing-y shit (Forbidden, Heathen) instead of the far superior Steve Souza Exodus type vocals that would be on an extended list. Don't even start with me. Steve Souza rules. </p><p>How to ruin a great song:</p><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/sONL6QUMR9E" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe>

The version of Gus that played here was Drew Demaio (Strikeforce Diablo, Assholeparade, Floor) on guitar/vocals, and Ron Sas (Floor) on bass. Liner notes also indicate a fella named Mike played drums, but the same liner notes say that Jason Lederman (Cavity, Where Fear And Weapons Meet) played drums on this record, so I don't know what's going on there. Also, Sam Fogarino of Interpol once played drums for Gus, though not on this record.<p></p><p>Thanks to <a href="https://southfloridamusicscene.blogspot.com/2008/07/gus-prime-cuts-in-gravy-demo.html">South Florida Music Scene</a> for info.</p><p></p><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><a href="https://www.discogs.com/release/1957718-Gus-Get-Well-Soon">Discogs</a></li><li>Bandcamp</li><li>YTM</li><li>Apple Music</li><li>Spotify</li><li><a href="https://app.box.com/s/jpf805p8pg034lqi235sgq868u1dqqir" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">DL</a></li></ul><p></p><div><br /></div></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13066903.post-41490717208923677542023-03-01T18:28:00.004-08:002023-03-01T18:28:36.744-08:00L.

This has been sitting there since 09/21/2018. </div><div>---------------------------------------------------</div><div><br /></div>Work brought me to Sacramento for a few days, so I thought I'd go old school OSW and blog my food.<br />
<br />
First stop, straight from the airport, South in downtown Sacramento for lunch. Saw it hyped as one of the best burgers in town, and it did not disappoint.<br />
<br />
I can't say that for dinner though. I had some reports due and wanted to eat close to the hotel. Saw a Mexican place called Cafe Rio. Never heard of it. Maybe it could be a Sacramento gem? Uh, no. It was a chipotle style place. I guess their gimmick is they make their tortillas. Seeing Tabasco as the avaialble hot sauce should have been a clue to GTFO, but I didn't have a whole lot of time to waste, it was Taco Tuesday, and it was someplace new, so I proceeded.<br />
<br />
Tacos were terrible. Flavorless shredded meat that was so drenched in juice it just made the tortilla fall apart. Speaking of which, the homemade flour tortillas were not that great. Only at this point did I do some research and find out that this was a chain based out of UTAH! Yikes.<br />
<br />
The next night I stumbled on a place called <a href="https://umaihotdogs.com/">Umai Dog</a>. All sorts of specialty hot dogs. I guess this is sort of a mini-chain, but I had never heard of it. Got the Houston and the Sonora dog. Eh. Not terrible. Not great. Would not go back.<br />
<br />
Next up was <a href="https://www.nixta.co/">Nixtaco</a> in Roseville. Two Thumbs Up. 5 stars.<br />
<br />Had Al Pastor and Smoked Rib tacos, and they were San Diego-worthy. The sauces were all great. Especially the peanut hot sauce and carrot habanero. Super good. <div><br />
Coffee wise, I hit old favorite <a href="https://nakedcoffee.net/pages/locations#">Tupelo</a>, <a href="https://www.fourscorecoffee.com/">Fourscore </a>in Roseville, and <a href="https://chocolatefishcoffee.com/">Chocolate Fish</a> in East Sac. For breakfast on my last day, I tried to go to a place I used to love, <a href="https://www.nopalitoscafe.com/">Nopalito's</a>, but 10 years later, they still do not accept credit cards, so I ended up at Chocolate Fish. Avocado toast was okay. I remember when I first heard of avocado toast, I was confused why avocado and toast would be a thing that would cost more than $3 anywhere. Then I tried the Avocado toast at Brew, with tomatoes and goat cheese, and it started to make sense. But this really was avocado and toast. For $6! The Flat White was good though.<br />
<br />
Sacramento has always been hit and miss foodwise. South and Nixtaco made the misses bearable. Make sure to hit them up if in the area.<br />
