Does anyone remember when Dave Chandler sent a press release to Blabbermouth (around 2002 or so) asking fans to come hang out with him at some shithole L.A. strip club? Also, anyone remember the Metal Maniacs interview where the band does nothing but bitch about Nirvana and Soundgarden getting famous when, "they used to open for us, man."

So, "doom metal" is what happens when bassists switch to guitar and start writing all the songs, while still only using one finger, right?
