System of a Down - Fuck the System 2002

Steal This Album! is the third studio album by the Armenian-American heavy metal band System of a Down, released on November 26, 2002. Produced by Rick Rubin and Daron Malakian, it peaked at number 15 on the US Billboard 200. In early 2002, medium-quality MP3s of the album were released on the internet under the name Toxicity II. The band issued a statement expressing disappointment that fans were hearing material that was unfinished, and they worked to release a completed, better quality version of the album, which became Steal This Album!.

Though often reported in the media as being a collection of B-sides and outtakes, the band insisted that the Steal This Album! material is of the same quality as the tracks which made it onto Toxicity. Both Serj Tankian and John Dolmayan have called the album their favorite System of a Down release.

"Fuck the System" received a total of 55,5% yes votes. Previous System of a Down polls: #128 "B.Y.O.B."

** This is the 2nd part of Digimon Xros Wars saga with Taiki, Kiriha and Nene on their adventure while Akari and Zenjirou are left out.

*** This is the 3rd part of Digimon Xros Wars saga with Tagiru, Yuu and Taiki as the protagonists. This 3rd part has the overly long title so we fans prefer to call it 'Digimon Xros Wars: Hunters' or 'Digimon Young Hunters'.

**** Yes, this movie has an overly long title. I had a hard time deciding whether to highlight it in bold or not.

Happy Digimon Day!

The Year In Doom & Gloom

Doom & Gloom From The Tomb celebrated its 15th anniversary this year, which is crazy. But what can I say, I keep finding cool live tapes and keep feeling compelled to share them with you ... whoever you are! A lot of this website is just me talking to myself, hashing and rehashing and re-re-hashing various obsessions, getting impossibly niche about some of my favorite artists, trying to shine a light into the darkest corners of music history. But that makes it sound like it's a serious endeavor. Mostly, it's fun. I hope it's fun for you too. So, if you need to catch up, here's a tip-of-the-iceberg rundown of what we checked out over the last 12 months ... as always, thank a taper!

Photos taken at the Palomino Club on February 19, 1987. Pictured in photo 2 are Jesse Ed Davis, Gary Ray, John Fogerty, Bob Dylan, Bobby Tsukamoto, John Trudell, George Harrison, (front) Jim Ehinger, Mark Shark. Photos courtesy of Tao of Tunings.

“I’ll tell you what happened there [at the Palomino Club]Geo. I’d gone to America and Bob [Dylan] rang me and said, you know, did I want to come out for an evening and see Taj Mahal who was playing at The Palomino? So we went there and had a few of these Mexican beers, and had a few more. And Jesse Ed Davis, who played guitar on Watching The River Flow, is in the audience, and Bob says, Hey, why don’t we all get up and play — we’ve had a few beers, right — and you can sing! So we get up there and I’m in the spotlight and Bob’s hanging back in the shadows and I start singing: What’s the matter with me? I don’t have much to say… and every time I get near the microphone, Dylan comes running up and just starts singing this rubbish in my ear, trying to throw me off.” - George Harrison, Q, 1988 “Heavyweights like George Harrison, Bob Dylan, Bonnie Raitt, and Jackson Browne have long lent their support to the causes and chords of unsung Native American activist John Trudell.” - Texas Monthly, January 1992 “Dylan introduced Trudell to ‪George Harrison‬ in the late 1980s, an association that led to Trudell’s first movie role in the film, ‘Pow-Wow Highway,’ which Harrison produced [with HandMade Films].” - alternet.org, June 15, 2002 “[The script of Powwow Highway] had a lot of heart.” - George Harrison, Los Angeles Daily News, March 1989 “Bob Dylan and George Harrison consider Trudell a dynamic poetic force representing Native American people.” - Ventura County Star, December 8, 1989 “[Dylan] even brought George Harrison to come see me perform one night. Bob was just really cool to us and gave us credibility amongst other artists, when we really didn’t fit in anywhere.” - John Trudell, Star Tribune, November 26, 2014

Samoa Joe

Inside Wrestling journeys back in time to examine the career of a superstar who has left a major imprint on the sport

MARCH 22, 2003: Joe captures the Ring of Honor heavyweight title by defeating Xavier.

JANUARY 15, 2005: A bitter Joe receives a chairshot to the head and a DDT for good measure from a visiting Mick Foley during a special appearance for ROH.
