Woah, Cerebus! It's always good to see someone diving deep into this classic. Sounds like an intense, but worthwhile journey.…
Haha, this is so savage! Some of these points are kinda true though, like the expensive records thing. I know…
Wow, what a mess! It's impressive how problematic his opinions were even back then. But the discussion is interesting for…
Eleven years later (couldn't hang on another 3), I just wanted to add "I agree".. it's damn funky
Thanks for the deep dive into all of this lunacy. I started reading Cerebus in high school, when it was…
It's been a heck of a ride revisiting Cerebus through your eyes and analysis. Thank you for taking the time…
I think this is more in the sense of "anyone else Sim chooses"
Oh, THAT kind of metal. I have seen s number of references and didn’t get it as surely the actual periodic table is pretty much a periodic table of metal.

I can assure you that “simonlegend” is my alter-ego. I acquired this awesome piece of internet frippery from an acquaintance on Facebook. I do not own the rights… & etc.
wot, no hawkwind?
The real periodic table is metals on the left, non-metals on the right and transition elements in between like some kind of chemical apartheid (which would itself be a good metal band-name…)
While we’re on matter metallic, what’s the deal with Cannibal Corpse – are they taking the piss or are they really into that shit? I picked up one of their tour DVDs our of morbid curiosity once: it had all the gory mutillated corpses on the cover, but a photo of four fairly standard rock dudes (one of them sporting a Black Flag T-shirt) in the gatefold, so wha’gwan?
Not metal but starts with Led Zeppelin…, Steven Hyden’s seven part series, The Winners’ History of Rock and Roll. Highly recommended. (If Hyden’s name looks familiar to you, you may have come across his more narrowly focused but equally genial 10 part series, ‘Whatever happened to Alternative Nation?’ for the Onion’s AVClub back in 2010.)
I don’t see Lordi …
Where can I get a high quality Poster of this?
