Flame Free Confession III: Even More Flame Free (Part 1)

Sorry dude, I blacked out for a second. Too many trigger words.

It’s cool. I’m sadly at a point where keto is cheating, since the cheap trick for keto is to swap carbs with fats and not care where they come from. Tons of saturated and trans fats…but they’re yummy.

Honestly, it was less of a flame and more of me not understanding your food habits, which happens a lot. Can’t argue with the results, but I do occasionally shudder at the process.

Except those breakfasts of yours - I’m all the way on board with those.

With those egg wraps I discovered recently, I’m having breakfast burritos every morning now. It’s pretty baller.

I’m still figuring out eating myself. Walking the line of performance and health has been weird, but it’s at least alleviated my ennui in the absence of competition.

But man…melted cheese. REAL cheese. It’s magical.

A trend I have notice recently is companies emailing me to ask about candidates they want to hire vs actually calling.

In instances like this, I just flick on the email to the person to fill in themselves. Like, if you don’t care enough to call and check that I am a real person then that’s what you get.

Anyway, I just figured out a scam in this process. You provide a couple of fake names and your home and cell numbers and you can vouch for yourself lol

I found a study that said even when you are in 100% political alignment, something like 70% of people turn off/disengage when the discussion goes to politics.

I just assumed this was standard practice, no?

Flame free: Bruce did it better.

Never done this. I always convince others to be references. Try to find people with higher up titles (senior project managers for example) than what I am applying for.

I do think that if one wasn’t to be honest, they could fake a ton of stuff. I think one could fake a college degree if not going for entry level (where they would probably check that).

Every cover of an Iron Maiden song has better singing lol. No one beats Iron Maiden’s drummers, though. They don’t abuse the fucking double pedals. If you aren’t Lars or that drummer from Judas Priest, tone that shit down. It’s irritating.

Flame free!

Lars is not a good drummer. I mean - he is not even the best drummer in Metallica.
(old Beatles joke in there for you all).

He’s not a good technical drummer relative to the monsters out there. His choice of notes are excellent, though.

Kirk Hammett is the one who fails in every aspect. He’s played only 2 good solos in his life. One was in 4 Horsemen, which was some weird minor key rip off of Led Zep’s Good Times Bad Times followed by pointless pentatonic wanking that used runs ripped off from Satriani. The other was in The Unforgiven. That was legit.

Are there new ones?

IHMO…

To illustrate my point, this is great technical drumming that complements a song perfectly:

This is highly technical drumming that ruins the song(I’ve taken the fact that the drums were horribly mixed into account. I think they only had access to an 8 track track recorder that time lol. The mixing of the guitars sucked in some parts too.):

EDIT:

Can’t blame the drummer. I’ve read Friedman and others would record a demo with basic drumming done on a drum pad or something and send it to one of these guys and they’d have like a week to compose the drum parts for the entire album before recording.
