Alex Skolnick > everybody

I love him too.

However Zakk Wylde owns all.

Make my pistons bulge lol

Dylan8 and TSW make a few pistons bulge around these parts if you know what I mean.

Skolnick's soloing is ace

Souls of Black is one of my fave thrash albums

I mean how right can one person be?

Well, I suppose the limit is reached if you half them down the middle and dispose of their left half leaving them 100% right.

Which brings me to my next point.

If I slice someone in half through the middle and both halves of said person survive and go on to live long lives, would they be considered 1 or 2 people?

Holy Wars is the best thing ever...

Zakk, since you named your boy after Eddie, I'm assuming you're more educated in the music of Van Halen than I, so I gotta ask, what's your take on them? As a hard rock band under Roth, they were never as good as the likes of AC/DC, Def Leppard, Zeppelin, KISS, Queen, etc, then when they moved to soft rock/pop/hair metal, they were still behind a few bands, like Bon Jovi, Motley Crue, Skid Row, Def Leppard again, who also changed style, and then they died.

In short, I've always found they're a band that should've been a lot better than what they were, but for whatever reason, weren't. Is that accurate?

Are they two separate people from the original person they spawned from?

Or is one of them more of the original than the other?

Can they claim the history of the original?

Holy shit this is turning into a Port Adelaide Magpies/Power metaphor.

The first Van Halen album is the duck's guts.

Their early stuff is phenomenal....

But it's hard to disagree with what you've written but others will.
I've never been their biggest fan as a whole but Eddie's playing inspired a generation of players. He's amazing.

Slightly off topic but I much preferred Randy Rhoads guitar playing. It's one of life's biggest travesties that we never saw a full catalogue and career from him as he was an absolute freak.

So how about Second Wave Taiwanese cinema?

Although I am a big fan of both, I tend to prefer Tsai Ming-Liang over Hou Hsiao-Hsien. True, Hou's A City of Sadness is an absolute masterpiece, and his Ozu homage in Café Lumière was deeply enjoyable on a personal level, but I feel that Tsai is a great provocateur as well as a great stylist, which makes him a more valuable artist overall.

How was the crazy frog ever a thing? Was it thanks to Mike Goldman and his late night ****wittery flogging off all sorts of non specific rubbish such as "send us a text and we'll send you the crazy frog ringtone!!"

I have a simpler answer.
******ed teenagers and custom ringtones becoming a "thing"

This would be true if not for the fact that every person that had said ringtone was 30+ obese Jupiter-manatee hybrid.
