Quotes from the Guitar Gods

Hello internet jerks, for a change of pace I will share with you some quotes from guitar legends as I have nothing better to write about and plagarism is awesome.

"I smash guitars because I like them. I usually smash a guitar when it's at its best."
Pete Townsend
"I want a cunt transplant in the back of my guitar so I can fuck it while playing."
Punky meadows
"I always thought the good thing about the guitar was that they didn't teach it at school."

"There are any number of ways to get from one place to another on the neck of the guitar that I don't know about."

"I don't have a love afair with a guitar - I don't polish it after every performance. I play the fucking thing."

Large Hadron Collider


The Large Hadron Collider (The largest particle accelerator ever built) has been activated causing alot of mixed feelings about the results of smashing protons at 99.99 percent of the speed of light, such as my personal favourite quote on the matter: German chemist Professor Otto Rossler - that black holes created by the LHC will grow uncontrollably and “eat the planet from the inside”. Yes, EAT THE PLANET FROM THE INSIDE!

Apparently these scientist types think its a good idea to fuck with stuff like dark matter, black holes, gravity and the origins of mass. Why can't they just sit and think about this for a second, I mean I'm no science type or anything but i get a little worried when they start switching on a £5 billion proton racetrack, just to see what happens.

Douglas Adams says it best:
"The major difference between a thing that might go wrong and a thing that cannot possibly go wrong is that when a thing that cannot possibly go wrong goes wrong it usually turns out to be impossible to get at or repair."

Quote from London telegraph: "The device is designed to replicate conditions that existed just a fraction of a second after the Big Bang, and its creators hope it will unlock the secrets of how the universe began."


I know we are all curious to know how it all began, but I think it's better just to sit in a pub and argue about it rather than fuck with things we know nothing about. Well hopefully it only blows up Geneva, France and Switzerland and leaves us the hell alone.

"The world will not come to an end when the LHC turns on," Prof Hawking said, adding: "The LHC is absolutely safe."
FUCK YOU STEVEN HAWKING

Book review - Devil's Island By Frank De Sales


Sometimes the weirdest ingredients make the best kind of recipes when thrown together. Sometimes they don't. Either way, the very right or very wrong mix is always memorable.
Frank de Sales' debut novel Devil's Island mixes gonzo-Catholicism, dark humour and the very disturbing to deliver a read that can have you laughing yourself sick at the top of a page and needing to change your pants towards the last paragraph. If Tarrantino had been an altar boy for the Latin Mass and gone into writing novels instead of directing movies, you still wouldn't have the right blend for the kind of things that escape Frank's mind.

What's Devil's Island most like? Discovering that the Blair Witch is after you, maybe, while you're unable to run away because you're laughing so hard. Perhaps its more like realising what's important and having that nerve-eating feeling that whatever you've dedicated your life to up until that moment doesn't match and that eternity can turn out to be a very long time. Either way, you're going to get entertained by the writing and stylish design of Devil's Island.
