Stale Book Review #13 - The Tiger Warrior

The Tiger Warrior by David Gibbons

Cost: $2.95US

Page Count: 502

I always finish a book.  Unless...unless it is just awful.  I did not finish The Tiger Warrior.  Not that I have anything against Mr. Gibbons.  It's just that I cannot believe that a publisher would willingly put this book into print.  Maybe they were hoping to ride the strength of Atlantis, a Gibbons book that was moderately decent.  This one...was just...ouch.

Don't waste your money.

David Gibbons.  The Tiger Warrior.

Stale Music Review #5 - Slaughter

Stick It To Ya by Slaughter

Cost: $0.92US

Song Count: 15

OK.  Slaughter.  What can I say about Slaughter?  When I was 13, I just loved the Stick It To Ya album.  Why?  I do not know.  I guess it was just a product of me being a mini-metalhead and trying to listen to every single "metal" album from that era.  Stick It To Ya (for some fucking reason) was part of my "listening" experiment.  So, for less than a buck, I found the album one more time.  I think I wasted a dollar.

There will be no notes on the track list, this time.  It's not worth the effort.  Actually, the only songs that ever carried any sort of commercial weight were Up All Night and Fly To The Angels.  Up All Night, if I remember correctly, was a single.  It fucking sucks.  Loved it in '90...holy crap, that song did not age well.  However, Fly To The Angels...well, it's actually ok.  Not that I would put the song on my stereo on purpose.  But, I wouldn't change it if the song magically appeared, either.

So, my little foray down memory lane did not end well.  Stick It To Ya has aged poorly.  My burgeoning musical tastes back in the late '80's may have included a little Slaughter.  But, I have since listened to very good music and...well, Stick It To Ya sucks big balls.  Sorry Slaughter-guys.
