My blog on HubPages.com - Reviews of Music, Movies, etc.

Hey Gang: dunno if any of you are familiar with HubPages, but I've recently started a profile on this blogging site. I've posted a couple of my CD reviews and over time I'm planning to add much more music, movie and comic-related geeky nonsense. If  you wanna check it out, my profile can be found here:

http://hubpages.com/profile/FatFreddysCat

Before anybody asks, "FatFreddysCat" is an old alias I used online many moons ago (I eventually lopped off the "Cat" and went with plain ol' "Fat Freddy") but I felt it was time to bring it back.

There are tons of weird blogs/articles on this site about every topic you can possibly think of, so it makes for some interesting (and occasionally hilarious) reading.  

Supposedly there's some nonsense involving Google AdSense tied into this site where you can use it to make a few bucks off your writing, but I haven't explored that side of it yet, I just thought it was a neat place to post some of my deranged ramblings. Hope you dig.

I will dig it since IMO you are one hell of a writer

(Blushing) Thanks man. I've only posted three items so far (two of which are reviews I've already posted here on the forum) but eventually when I have time I'm gonna dig into my archives for past stuff, do some stupid Top Ten Lists, maybe do "retro reviews" where I babble about long-lost albums that I love, etc., etc. I think it's gonna be fun.

...and hey, I checked my profile this AM and I already have one "follower." Deranged metalheads unite on HubPages!!

I will check it out! Looking forward to your review of this:

Ehehehehehehehehehe!! Believe it or not I was already thinking of posting something about that record, under the title "Tr00 Mettle Torture!"

Cool. I'm always looking for things to do other than work.

Geez if this site spreads in popularity you will single handly be responsible for a Killen revival and reunion tour, with an series on YOUTUBE documenting their reunion, if that happens there will be no forgiveness for you by the Metal Gods.

More like the members of Killen would hunt me down and kick my ass for bringing them back out into the open, cuz then legions of Euro Metal dorks would be camping on their front lawns and showing up on their doorsteps at all hours of the night asking "Hails! I would die for a Killen tee shirt! Have you anymore copies of the sacred vinyls? I have four now, but only three unopened, ehehehehehe"

Hey Kieth:

Show the polaroid of you sportin those Killen underoos and knee high tube socks!

No what will happen is that there will be a big reissue campaign, and VH doc will be made with Eddie "Ace once threw up in toliet' Trunk, talking about how it was one long lost metal bands of the 80's

That would be cool. Maybe they'd invite me onto "That Metal Show" as a guest, since I got the whole Killen ball rolling, and I'd get to punch out all three of the hosts in front of a live studio audience. "Stump THIS, Eddie (*WHACK*)! Laugh THIS off, Florentine (*EYE GOUGE*)! How funny is THIS, Jamieson (*SLAP*)! Woo-woo-woo!"

Freddy goin Curly Larry n Moe on That Metal Show

I'm up to two "followers" on HubPages already...some dude named "Kmorg" just joined up... hmmm, where do I know that name from?

Seriously tho, thanx for the support Kurt. I'm hoping to post all kinds of fun stuff in the near future.

Just posted #1 in what I hope will be a continuing series of "Retro Metal Rants" on HubPages, this time spewing about the gorgeousness and gorgeousity that is Warrior Soul's SALUTATIONS FROM THE GHETTO NATION... check it out if you're so inclined...

I just tried to register and got a lil window pop up after about 5 minutes and said "something went wrong" and I clicked OK.....oh well

Well, that's weird. Feel free to try again anytime.

I'm up to three "followers" on this site already (woot!) and after looking around the site a bit I'd say that hard rock/heavy metal content is seriously under-represented on HubPages. I plan to change that!! I'm already noodling around with some other topics/ideas for future articles. I'd like to put up one or two a week (at least for a while) so I can build up a semi-decent body of work.

This is fun! Nice to be able to write stuff without worrying about deadlines, editors chopping my shiz to pieces, or being "assigned" a topic I don't care about/I'm not interested in. It's kinda like having my own blog without actually having to figure out how to start a blog.

No, thank you, Keith! Always loved your writing!

It worked this time....oh boy!

Ehehehehehe, Joe if you are wanting a sacred KILLEN vinyls piece to call thy own, there's one on eBay right now for the low, low price of only $350... a small price to pay for the ultimate in tr00 Staten Island New York steele, ahahahaha

http://cgi.ebay.com/KILLEN-S-T-PRIVATE-US-POWER-METAL-PARADOXX-VILLAIN-/260771323503?pt=Music_on_Vinyl&hash=item3cb72e9e6f

(the seller's in Greece so I wonder if it's our old friend Syrus/Sharatan/etc. himself?)

It actually started at 9.99 and is now up to 26 bids, and 350!!

Makes me wish I had access to the Way-Bac Machine, or Doc Brown's time-traveling DeLorean. I'd pop back to the Killen gig I saw in 1988, buy up all the crap on their merch table, then come back to the present and make a frickin' mint.

which you could plow into repairing your ears!!

hahaha! I think I'll pass this time. I don't think I have $350 laying around. I'll have to check under the couch cushions!
