Guns, Governments, and Guitars

Hi Friends.

My brain is seriously drained from making lessons. I have been writing lessons since Sunday, so I don't know if this blog will really make sense...therefore, shitpost.

I'm not complaining tho, there's really something about the cheerful greeting of my students that makes me forget my exhaustion.

"Teacher, did you have lunch? Don't skip your meal."
They prolly have no idea that their love is what keeps me going.

Today I just want to be honest, especially for people who take time to sit and reflect on their writing, how do you do that? Mad respect.

Let's give @ablaze a shoutout. It's also nice to see more people joining. Man, #ThreeTuneTuesday is basically your legacy.

So I drafted my post a couple of days ago..specifically about the songs, tried AI earlier, sent my draft all raw, and we just ended up arguing:

"You might want to skip the profanity, that's unnecessary."

Listen, Chat GPT, you are... the unnecessary.

There's no way I'm going to write that way..prim and proper, demure, shit. I'm not here to perform, I'm here to share my thoughts.

Out.

Okay, enough of that, but I hope some are already getting the point.

I am just happy to see the feeds buzzin'... the system is healthy again.

I just opened my phone last Monday, played songs on shuffle, and there you go:

Agora Hills - Doja Cat

juz kidding (I can only imagine my TTT homies rolling their eyes, lol).

This song has been living in my head rent free. Sick LSS.

All the things I wrote here are just my knowledge according to what I watched, read, and heard from my friends, so feel free to correct any misinformation. Oh, I am so open to that.

Let's start.

Symphony of Destruction - Megadeth

Let's take this moment to appreciate this masterpiece.

Despite dropping a new and final album in January, I just can't let go of this track, I will carry this song even into the next life, I swear.

I am sad to see them retire, but Dave needs to take care of his health.

As what you noticed, most metal groups formed in the 1980s were mostly talking about resistance, because you can never just be quiet with the shitty system (Master of Puppets, Justice for All, War Pigs, and more).

Next song...

One - Metallica

It obviously has something to do with war, but when I watched Hetfield's interview explaining the story behind the song, it made me read Johnny Got His Gun by Dalton Trumbo.

The book was banned, of course, the government earns from war, so a book that describes what horrors soldiers have to go through will disrupt their business. The song is from Johnny's point of view, he is a soldier who has suffered so much that he just wants to die... (hurt). I swear you will never listen to the song the same way again, so read at your own risk.

Reading that made Mason and Woods' insanity make sense. I believe this is the perfect OST for the game COD. The songs from Avenged Sevenfold are also good, but I feel like "One" is the right song for the game franchise.(That's just my opinion, of course, please agree with me, haha)

Last song...

Holy Diver - Dio

James Dio was a member of Black Sabbath,he later replaced Ozzy..but well, no one can actually replace the Madman. Not that Dio is less talentd, but well... Ozzy Osbourne is Ozzy Osbourne. Do I have to explain it any further?

That's just my knowledge about the band, and oh the intro is a good one.

There you go.

Like what I said earlier, I am happy to see more people joining Three Tune Tuesday.

Despite being busy, I'd like to sit down and talk about music and life with my friends here. How's everyone? Let's catch up.

Ellie 💕
