The return of Metal Mania!

Yeah, it's a bit early in the off season to start metal mania, but since there was no hockey on Friday night, I happened to flip over to VH1 Classic. I think they used to only do Metal Mania on Saturday and Sunday nights, but hey, what do I know?

They played some Skid Row, which got me wondering which video/song is better?




or



I love Monkey Business, because it shows them at the height of their popularity, but Youth Gone Wild is great too, because it shows them at the beginning...all baby faced and trying to be snarly. Tough decision!

Metal mania and Flyers rookie camp wrap up...

Well tonight's Metal Mania started off strong, with Slaughter's "Fly to the Angels." Again, not really metal, but damn what a great cheesy song and cheesy video. I love it. It is sooooooo 1990! I remember watching 1-800-Dial MTV every day for a month to see the video! That Mark Slaughter was soooooooo dreamy!

Anyhow, after Slaughter tonight came AC/DC, Skid Row, Tesla and Dokken. Overall, a very good night. Oooh! Oooh! Now they are playing the Scorpions! Wooooohooo! A good night indeed!



As for rookie camp, I made it yesterday but still didn't take any pictures. Lucky for you, Erica took pictures yesterday and Nicole took pictures today. So be sure to check them out. I'll also link to Erica's pictures of the Trial on the Isle. Gents be warned: there is a bit of puckbunny-ishness going on over there. Mostly by me. Which hardly ever happens. But these were hockey players without their shirts on, so, ya know, it couldn't be helped.

Have a good Sunday y'all!

Metal mania and card crazy!

ha! he looks like a little baby!

Yeah, so Metal Mania was pretty lame last night. Or maybe I just wasn't in the mood for it, since I spent all day with my mom and sister and was totally exhausted. We spent the day trekking around outside (a place I try not to go). I even got a little sunburnt! My poor skin!

Anyhow, I was so tired that I just couldn't get into the metal. Also, apparently VH1 Classic heard me complaining about how lame last week was, and they put the Scorpions on at 12:30! Sheesh! I'm barely home yet at that point. This week's Scorp video was "Still Loving You," which I thought we had covered before but we haven't. It is a boring video, but such a great song. Wow.



Also, even though I was tired, I was still able to scour ebay for hockey cards. I would just like to thank Jess for my current obsession. (Thanks in a sarcastic way, that is!) Now I spend every waking moment looking for cards online!

Last week, I procured two Braydon Coburn rookie cards. Pretty cool, right? Even cooler, when the seller sent my cards, he sent a whole bunch of other current Flyers cards! Wooooooohooooo! I got Lupul, Carter, Richie, Timonen, Upshall, and Marty. Woo! There may have also been a Robert Esche card in there, but we'll be burning that one.

Have a great Sunday!
