Summary
“You like to hear how they have progressed or digressed…or either…or gressed…” This episode is a lot like looking at pictures of family when everyone is much younger and then looking at recent pictures of family and realizing that after enough time, a LOT changes. Just as people grow and age and (hopefully) evolve over time, no artist should currently be EXACTLY as they were when they first started, as there should be an obvious evolution and progression of their style and sound over multiple albums and decades, from their very FIRST to their very LAST. “I’m liking how this is going…we could do this for hours…” Prepare yourself for THE FIRST AND THE LAST, a snapshot in time from the killer opener on the very first album to the killer closer on the very last (or in some cases, most recent) album; basically it’s the very first from the very first paired with the very last from the very last. “The word of the episode, ladies and gentlemen, is…” By the time you’ve finished this episode, you will no doubt have “the word of the episode” carved deep into your subconscious, so much so that you’ll wonder where you put that lock blade buck knife your cousin gave you for Christmas. Realize that “sometimes you gotta check your oil” and a large majority of us “don’t think John Cougar knows how to eat a chili dog”. Get ready for another round of ASK THE METALHEAD, because “we’re doing things…and stuff…” down in The Bunkerpoon (including using fancy words and phrases like “comeuppance”) which is exactly why you should JOIN US for a retrospective comparing “now & then” with THE FIRST AND THE LAST: THRASH EDITION – VOL. 1.
