WARNING! |
IN THIS WEEK'S ISSUE: |
| ► Cook Out For Wes'
Birthday ► Meisterisms Out of Control ► Low Twelve Is 10 Years Old ► More Hot Chicks in Brutality Report XXX This Week |
 |
So what in my brutal CD player this week? |
|
|
| 1. Testament - Low (brutal thrash from Bay Area gods) | |||
| 2. Arsis - We Are the Nightmare (completely wicked technical death metal) | |||
| 3. Cannibal Corpse - Live Cannibalism (brutal live death metal) | |||
So good to see you back in brutality once again my friends . . . it's been a typical brutal week here as we celebrate the 4th of July and prepare for that very first Low Twelve show with Dan and Meister. We had a kick ass cook-out at Wes/Michelle's place yesterday and I've got the pics to prove it.
In addition to all that celebrating, we've got some hilarious new Meisterisms that have completely taken over and gotten out of control. Yesterday at the cook-out, we had about 10 guys in a circle, just blasting out one after another as Meister stood by and nearly laughed himself wet with piss. It was fucking hilarious. He's been one hell of a sport about it all and finds it really funny actually. So that's cool!
So much more on that later, plus a countdown to the first show with Dan and Meister at the brutal Poser Roast 23 show August 1st and 2nd. It's going to be a brutal weekend for sure. All the posers out there should shield their eyes from such wickedness. I mean really - at this point, ten years of sheer nastiness must be making you suicidal. So don't let us take you away from that long hose connected to your exhaust, or the loaded shotgun on the table in front of you - I'm sure they'll be plenty of real metal freaks to sodomize your woman now and again!
Now get on with it.
| HAPPY 4TH OF JULY TO OUR TROOPS! |
|
| As you all know, those of us
in Low Twelve are all about supporting our US troops in Iraq and
Afghanistan. Those are the people that have made Independence Day
such a cause for celebration. Take a few minutes out to think
about what this country would be like if we wouldn't have had brave men
and women fighting for our freedom! To those of you out there in uniform - thank you from all of us for what you're doing on this 4th of July weekend. Don't ever forget the sacrifices they've made on behalf of all of us! If you want to donate to a good military organization on this holiday weekend, then check out www.uso.org - they help our military when they fly and need something in the airport. They also entertain our troops with celebrities and musicians, so they're a great organization to donate money to! Take pause this holiday weekend to remember what Independence Day is about. Watch a good inspiring movie to celebrate that - I watched "We Were Soldiers" myself on Friday and was nearly brought to tears a few times. I've seen the movie 2-3 times and read the book and it still gets me . . . I was so inspired that I'm going to write a song called "The Valley of Death" about the amazing courage that took place in November 1965 in the Ia Drang Valley of Vietnam. |
| LOW TWELVE MARKS TEN YEARS THIS WEEKEND! |
|
|
Ten years ago this weekend is when I got my first phone call from a guitar player who wanted to be a part of what I was starting. His name was Steve Pearson, and while he was only in the band for about three months, it was that call that I always mark was when it started. I started working with him, and about a month later finally found Tim McCleland, and we were writing the early songs. Those first few songs, "Man With Spots", "Begging to Die", and "Rest in Pieces" were where it all started. Of course, once we got my friend Steve Chestney to agree to play with us - we moved operations to Tim's basement on Graham Street in Bloomington Illinois. Steve Pearson was fired by Tim in November 1998 and the next day was replaced by Les Aldridge. That's where the Low Twelve journey began, was the original four-piece line-up in the basement of Tim's house, writing those early songs and doing what we could to get someone to give us a chance to do our first show. That first show was February 6, 1999 and now we are approaching the elusive 250th live performance! |
So here's to ten more brutal years with Low Twelve! We've had some serious obstacles thrown in our way - like the departure of guitarist Tim McCleland followed by his untimely death only a few months later. My bought with cancer that nearly killed me - but I drove on despite the mental agony of not knowing how the treatments would end up . . . and even the recent departure of 10-year guitarist Les Aldridge.
We answer the call with determination and fortitude
that few bands can boast. That is what makes Low Twelve something special
in my opinion - despite adversity we continue on. We forge the fuck on and
let anyone who's in our path - know that they better step aside or be crushed by
the brutal express.

| MEISTERISMS OUT OF CONTROL |
|
| We've been relentlessly
hammering our new guitar player, Meister, with the Meisterisms.
It's been fun as hell, and like I said earlier, he's been a great sport
about it. We noted that the problem is - Steinlicht doesn't rhyme
with much, and the name Meister just seems to be fun to use in place of
other words. As I noted before, I actually started it when I was
checking my microphone at practice - we'd been having lots of feedback
issues with the PA. While Meister fucked with the knobs, I was
saying shit like "Meister of Puppets" and "Run to the Meister" - and we
were all laughing about it. Like with most jokes . . . I tend to hammer it relentlessly! Then the texting started - with people I know sending me text messages all day with ideas. Many of those come from my son Joe, and he's had some good ones like "Rhyme of the Ancient Meister" and more. Yesterday at Wes' cook-out - there were a bunch of us just hammering out some funny new ones. Meister just laughed, and said he thought it was hilarious. So fuck yeah to Meister for being a good sport about it, and allowing us to have so much fun poking fun with his name. Ha. Check out a couple new ones I did up in photoshop. If I would have had more time, I could have done ten more, but these were the two funnier concepts I thought were fun to try! Coming soon - a Meister only page with all the funny Meisterisms. |
Meister with the cast of Meister PI
So give it a try and see how funny that shit can get. Be original - try tv show names, actors' names (Stoltz came up with Meister J. Fox) and of course band names and song titles. Some of the other funny ones we came up with last night at the cook-out: Mickey Meister (Mickey Mouse), Meisterbishi, Nightmare on Meister Street, Night of the Living Meisters, and so many more!
Got any good ones you want to send to the Meister himself? meister@lowtwelve.com

| COOK-OUT CELEBRATES WES' BIRTHDAY! |
|
| Wes celebrated his 32nd
birthday along with family and friends at his (and fiancé Michelle's
place) yesterday. It was a great time - as we chilled out together
and enjoyed the kick ass weather in Bloomington! It was about 75
and sunny all day long - it was just perfect. Wes and friends did
the grilling and Wes even set up a Washer game. I was kidding him
about the Midwest prounounciation of washer as "warsher" and so it was a
good time.
Pictured right is Wes with some sort of flaming bug repellant, and wearing his Cubs shirt. Since the Cubs have been playing so good, and it's Wes' birthday - I'll give that a rest. Not to mention my own Yankees not having the best of seasons! The bastards! We had many friends stop by - to include former Low Twelve axemaster, Les Aldridge and his wife Kim. Also Mike "Sexy Bearded Handyman" Stoltz, the guys from Dan's other band Zeroshift, and many many more! It was a great time! Check out some pics I took: |
