Look at this guy here, rejecting women because HE DON'T NEED NO WOMAN. Such. A. Typical. Gaming. Site.

Unpopular opinion: I like Manson more than NIN. Which is relevant given the intertwining histories of both bands. I think the very best thing Trent did, The Fragile, is marginally better than the best thing Manson's done, Holy Wood, though only slightly. Of their most comparable records, I...

I thought everything save The High End Of Low has been good to great, and even that record had its moments, such as "I Have To Look Up Just To See Hell". The problem, I think, is that the album-buying public wants him to be power-chord schlock rock like Rob Zombie. He isn't, and I'm eternally...

The new Marilyn Manson album, The Pale Emperor, is slated for release on 1/20/15. [img=http://www.trapstyle.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/marilyn-665x250.jpg] Track listing: I. "Killing Strangers" II. "Deep Six" III. "Third Day Of A Seven Day Binge" IV. "The Mephistopheles Of Los...

Mostly this thread is just an excuse for me to post this: I adore Sinead O'Connor, and this video demonstrates why. A lot of female vocal artists are pigeonholed into being either sultry seductresses or overly feminine criers. Not Sinead. Listen to the raw vitriol in her voice as she...

Aha! Granted that it wasn't near Whitechapel - the geography of London is frankly bizarre - it seems there was some jurisdictional overlap; Inspector Swanson claimed a City policeman was patrolling near Mitre Square(!) when Eddowes was murdered. Am I right in assuming that the 'square...

I'm working on a sort of history project for the forum about London, but I don't really know anything, well, about London. That's very vague, so let me break it down into what I need to know: 1. I understand that, at least at some point in the past - I have no idea if it's still this way...

That was the point. Had I said "this guy was suspected of being Jack The Ripper", I'd have gotten one reply: "HE KILLED HIMSELF 'CAUSE HE WAS JACK THE RIPPER LOL". Obscuring certain details gave me a different perspective to look at the case. For instance: Druitt's brother William really...

Well, 'riddle' was possibly the wrong word for it, but it doesn't seem substantial enough to quite be a mystery, either. And yeah, I no more know the solution than any of you, but I think the ideas I got were better without anyone knowing who I was talking about than I would have gotten had I...

This was, actually, a historical occurrence. The lawyer was in actuality Montague John Druitt [http://www.casebook.org/suspects/druitt.html], who for a very long time has been one of the chief historical suspects for the Jack The Ripper murders, first named - in an oblique, labyrinthine way...

One of my favorite metal subgenres is technical thrash. A lot of people seem to have the idea that tech-thrash is little more than conservatory wankery, with endless show-off riffs that go nowhere and an overemphasis on structure at the expense of actual songwriting. But that ain't so. For...

Neurosyphilis can't deposit a body in a river with rocks in its pockets, to my understanding.

Alice In Chains were more of a metal band than any metalcore act, so I don't see why Mad Season shouldn't count.

I'm not very fond of Nightwish; I find them too overproduced and slick, as though they were manufactured to appeal to a certain cultural tendency. If you like them, however, then I think it likely you'll enjoy the work of Flowing Tears. They're also female-fronted gothic metal, but much...

There was a certain eminent lawyer living in a large city. He had no immediate family, no children or wife, but a number of siblings, one of whom had won a modicum of fame as a lyrical composer. His mother had gone into a madhouse when he was young, and this seemed to hang heavy around the...
