1991 was a year unlike any other. KFC changed their name to avoid paying royalties to the “trademarked” commonwealth for which they were named (whereas K-Y Jelly could not be reached for comment), Terminator 2: Judgment Day was blowing up the box office as the number one movie in America, the first ever “world wide web” website was introduced to the world by Tim Berners-Lee, and just 6 days after that, on August 12th, 1991, Coroner’s fourth album (Mental Vortex) AND Metallica’s self-titled fifth album were BOLTH released on the EXACT same day.
It's time to get in the time machine and get ready to start “shooting ropes & painting walls” with our “squeezies” as we reveal the name of the band many have notoriously deemed “the hawk-tuah of metal”, as well as the frontman who resembled “a hot Canadian chick” (back in the day) before touring with Pantera, because we’re going back to a time when high school was everything and the idea of retiring to the swingingest, most syphilis-infested subdivision in The Sunshine State was some abstract, fantastical, utopian concept that stretched far beyond the comprehension of our young, teenage, “brain snagged” minds.
“AwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwMannnnnnn” it’s time to learn the key ingredients of “vampire jerky” and remember that “you can still rock with a high voice” (even if you’ve got on your “gloves of shame”).
Find out where you DO NOT want to get “heartworms”, be sure to establish firm boundaries so you’ll know exactly where “the aftermarket stuff stops with the ladies”, prepare to enjoy some “tangy flan” (courtesy of the outro-reel super-mix) and JOIN US as we reflect on all the fantastic metal released on August 12th, 1991 and the other 364 days of that year as we travel back in time to THE YEAR OF OUR RIFF LORD: 1991.
