We aren’t pussyin’ out, we just like our music heavy.

DEATH TO ALL BUT METAL!!!… khm, sorry, I just had to

In other words hello, nice to see you again. I figured it was time to take this blog one step further and write another post. Or something like that.

There is always a bunch of ideas running in my head for all kinds of rants that I could post here. But one of them keeps slapping me on my face over and over again and I thought I should let it all out. However, this rant is going to be more female-oriented, sorry guys. Next time I’ll write about boobs and beer, I promise.

Every time I decide to show my devotion to a certain band by buying their merchandise, I go to their official webstore in search of a suitable t-shirt and you know what I see there? Nothing. Not a fucking thing. Either there are no girlies at all or, if the band’s merchandisers actually bothered to acknowledge the existence of the band’s female audience and threw out a few female-fitted t-shirts, they usually have the lamest designs. I can’t help asking – what the fuck?! The best t-shirt designs are always just for men and quite often are the size of a sleeping bag. Of course, with some luck you can always buy a small sized male t-shirt and then modify it to fit you. But first of all, I am not a tailor and I don’t want to spoil something I have paid for without ever wearing it, and, secondly, merchandise is not cheap in general, so why should I pay money for something and then fuck my brain to figure out a way to use the thing I bought.

I doubt anyone will hear my cry; this is more just to let the steam out. I am sure I am not the only one with a problem like that. Those ‘high-rankers’ of this industry should realize that there are not just men listening to heavy music anymore, and the amount of female fans keeps on growing constantly. Why not let us join the celebration as well? Seriously, who would mind seeing their band name/logo stretched over a pair of nice boobs?

I think once this frustration becomes too much for me, I’ll make it my mission to bring this message out to every band I’m going to interview and thus maybe make this world a better place for the girls who’ve got the balls!

Now I’ll play modest and stop here. It’s Valentine’s Day tomorrow and I am not going to greet you with it. Because I hope that you don’t need one special cheesy and clichéd day in a year to show your love to your important ones. You’ve got to do this every day. So screw the slobbery shit you see in the stores, just go and tell them you love them!

Proud to be loud.
