TOP 10 30STM SONGS

A warning to the people,the good and the evil.....we,are off to MARS! 

Having seen the band live twice i can say they are my fave live band and i am more than happy to see them again and again. Fun facts 30stm are the first band i seen live and Jared Leto took a song request from me :) 

I was so close to Jared. 

Yes that is correct today i am bringing you to mars you are 30 seconds away from entry to strap in and let's touch base!

Kicking off my list is this rock synth fusion tune! Attack is basically about starting over of life after a relationship because you have left them go as they were holding you back in some way shape and form. It's one where people can get a few different meanings from obviously the main ones are which i have listed relationship issues and starting over. 

A heavy passionate hitter here people have basically said it is all about the battle of troy you know the whole trojan war which i do agree with but i would also like to add i can imagine an uprising of people taking up arms to take back what's theirs. I took this bit from google about Conquistadors - Conquistadors were adventurers who created a Spanish empire in Central and South America in the 16th century. The word is derived from 'conquistar', Spanish for 'conquer.' 

This song is hauntingly powerful and beautiful from it's music video of the band on some icebergs actually filmed in Greenland. It's video has also been linked to a warning of global warming. The song i feel is all about that phase of life you have where you are trying to figure out what to do in life you stay awake all night thinking about it and just wanting to escape the society in which you life in. The thing about this song is it's open to many interpretations.

Catchy as hell and powerful. The song features references towards politics and war.  For me this is a hard one to decipher what i find to be the meaning however i will just say about the images i get in my head while listening to the song. A war torn future with the officials so corrupt they are stealing and waging war to put more money in their own pockets and the people on the run who have disobeyed their leader(s) are hiding and plotting their leader(s) downfall such as the lyrics go the giants of the world are crashing down, these people who are uprising are on the run and swimming following the northern lights is their best chance of being free. There are people playing dead just to escape death. It's a weird piece of imagery i know but hey there we go. 

I love Bartholomew Cubbins (Yes i do know who he is really) and how he shoots 30stm videos. Do or Die is an uplifting song it is so good it just contains so much hope and happiness in its catchy-ness. Hearing the crowd sing this live is just amazing experience to be apart of. You have to take every opportunity you're given because time won't stop and wait for you to get ready. Don't be afraid of showing what you dream of, just do it and don't care about what others think of it is it's basic meaning of the song. 

NO THIS IS NOT THE KANYE VERSION!  Hurricane has the vibes of a politics,religion and a relationship in it's lyrics. The video contains dark sexual themes and good stunts quite frankly it also contains 3 chapters birth,life and death. I have been staring into space for a good half hour thinking what to write for a meaning to this song but i can not because it has many and i am not 100% positive on which one i feel is more right and which i feel. It's a hard one i am going to leave it however with it's about life and politics,religion and pleasure. 

I tend to cry sometimes listening to this because it is so powerful so connecting so meaningful to me anyway. The first time i heard it i was just happy with tears streaming down my face just so connected to the song you know it's hard to describe what is it that has me so connected to this song but it is one of my all time fave songs, I get so passionate singing it aswell especially the no no no's and live oh my jesus it is more beautiful. This powerful beautiful piece of music is all about life and how you life it, never forgetting,never regretting, living your life being who you want to be living how you want to live acceptance in your own skin. It's all kinds of positivity. The people at the start and end of the music video makes it so much more powerful aswell. 

I find the music video to be very weird but i utterly love this song it's just so darn good. Jared introduces this song with "this one is all about peace" it's obviously all about war and peace and the wishing just hoping for a brave new world to come out of it. 

The first ever American music video shot in the People's Republic of China in its entirety and the last video i believe which features their bassist Matt Wachter. The music video is incredible. As for the meaning of the song well i feel like it's talking about multiple people at times during each of the songs verses i do not know for sure i have also done some googling as i do just to make sure there is not anything i am missing while putting these lists together but there are many who feel the same or feel the song is about one of China's great hero's or something entirely different. It's all up in the air ;) 

Set in the place of The Shining this is my number 1 why? Oh well it's only the first ever song i heard from the boys. Is it about a relationship or self reflection? I believe it is both. It is also quite obvious of the song being all about going a bit crazy because as you see in the music video they are all hallucinating it's all to go with the self reflection i believe you see the fake you and you can see the real you and you are trying to just be the real vision of yourself and not this other one you front around people or in the online world for that matter.  

Well folks bury me because that is the end of this list. 
Let me know your 10 fave songs if you are part of the Echelon family or not :)
The god is out!

P.s. I might get a 30stm tat soon :)
This was my toughest list to date only due to the song meanings it's hard to decipher some and what they mean to me or what i believe the story the song is telling.

Top 10 Killswitch Engage songs.

Allo allo allo, you ready to die? 
WELL LET'S ENGAGE THE KILLSWITCH!

Killswitch Engage a band whom's singer i have met Jesse Leach and a band i have seen live and have been my fave live band to see. I can not wait to see them again. I love this band, lyrically they are heavily inspiring to me anyway. Catchy,heavy and so god damn awesome i love Jesse and Howard both are great lyrical genius's and vocal masters of metal easily my fave vocalists. I am not in the whole who is better war that the KSE fans often get locked up in because i am a fan of KSE altogether no matter the band changes i love it and them regardless. 
Look here i am meeting Jesse Leach he was so cool! I fanboy'd so hard when i met him.

As ever i am not going to pick any covers so your predictability of Holy diver being number 1 is gone.

Kicking off the list is this powerful epic song used by CM Punk most notable during his first few years in the WWE. The chorus and song is one of my most inspirational "Even through the darkest days,this fire burns, always" It's all about your will i believe to stay strong no matter what that through the tough and dark days that your fire must burn, always. 

One of their newest songs and most epic. This one is all about the hate we develop into our lives from our upbringings to our surroundings to the stuff the media likes to pump into us basically. 

From the opening this song is killer and hey listen carefully you can hear both Howard and Jesse at times which makes it much more epic. This one is all about how you should live your life "I will not live in fear" and "i would rather burn out than fade away" relating to making an impact on your way out of this life rather than be forgotten about and not living in the fear of society and the media horror stories you hear about quite frankly. 

Another new one from KSE is on this list. Why? JUST LISTEN TO THE SONG! IT'S FUCKING AWSOME! This track is very reminiscent of their as daylight dies days. The song has been described by the band as "not just a self help song" this song is very motivational so yeah thats how i am going to sum up it's meaning by a motivational helpful song of strength of the mind. 

Back to Howard again and did you or have you ever wished about starting your life over? This is the song. It is basically about a relationship of which the spark has gone and just wanting to start again.

The first Kse video i ever saw of the guys before i came a fan of them was this now what propelled me to like KSE was the Howard era Holy Diver to start but again as all that was going on i did go back in their catalog and i did fall in love with this song it was raw and just great it took me a few listens to just really love because at the time of first hearing this proper i was a Howard era fan like i said but man is this such a tune. I will explain this with what Jesse had to say "It has many meanings but ultimately, It's really about burning bridges. There comes a time when you have to leave people behind and just let them know that you care and there's only so much love you can give somebody until they drag you down with them." So yeah.

Oh my god what a beautiful powerful song. The lyrics to me feel very much like an experience with depression with a bit of saving yourself what i really love most about this song is how passionate it is. The chorus always get's me singing. 

The return of Jesse seen the band return with new heavy content of superbness, this is such a tune always get's me singing yet again for hours. As ever another motivational song about enduring the bad because there is light at the end of the tunnel "shadows will give way,to light". All in due time you will see the world through different eyes when the shadows give way to light seeing the positives from the negatives and so on.

The third song i ever heard from the band. I believe this is the feeling of being incomplete after a break up wanting the heartache you have suffered to end. I have noticed a lot while going through comments people making connections of God from some of the bands songs admist the Howard earlier which i never really noticed til now but some lyrics do have a feel of a talk between the singer and the higher being but that is not what i have said i am merely passing on some tid bits of things i have seen. 

Ah the days of Burnout Paradise driving about with this blasting through my telly speakers and shredding away on Guitar Hero 3 anyway this is the very second song i ever heard from KSE which from the opening "YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH OH RIGHT!" had me hooked line and moshing. I believe this one again is about a relationship but it's the crush stage of feelings you know having love for someone and them not knowing and of a shyness you can not get out your feelings for them no matter how much you want to as it is just so hard to get them out in the open as those feelings may not be felt by the other person alternatively the video has suggested it could be just trying to let go of the feelings you have for someone you loved who passed away. Who truly knows the meaning to all of these songs on the list it's all up for debate many people make their own meanings.

Honorable Mentions: God there are so many just go check out KSE all of their albums and songs!

Ever wondered how long it takes me to compile these lists i do? 
Up to 2 hours!
I KNOW!
WHY?!
I DON'T KNOW!
LOL!
I 
AM
MAD
!

And with that, i tip my hat,
I bid you adieu!
Haroo!
Don't pout!
The god is out!

Top 10 Disturbed songs

Helo my Disturbed beings, how are we today? 

It is time for me to be the guy and tell you my top 10 Disturbed songs!
I hope to see the band someday live for myself.

To make things more challenging i am not including covers only originals.

At 10 is one of their newest songs from their incredible return album Immortalized. The band returned from hiatus to give us this epic album and some epic memorable music videos,solos,lyrics and sounds. The video is all about this force the guy coming down to Earth to save those lost and to dethrone those who corrupt all. Basically that is what the song is about aswell haha. 

Catchy and so good the intro/main riff is just hypnotic i love it so much. its so simple yet so effective. It's about someone being dumbfounded by their feelings lyrics suggest it's about a mental victim of abuse in someway aswell. Multiple meanings just like any other song really. 

Another catchy riffage aswell as lyrics with this tune! This one is all about having voices in your head and trying to not listen to give in on their temptations as it were. 

I utterly love this one so heavy once again it is catchy. I believe this one is all about manipulative nature of some people and possibly between two in a relationship. 

So touching, so sad. A little fact i literally listened to this song all day sobbing after my childhood friend Josh's funeral. He was too young. I believe this one if about the loss of someone and the darkness it brings to your life smothering you and how you seek to breathe again. 

Oh god everytime i hear this song i feel a transformation into a different being, so dark,so powerful. I feel unstoppable this song gives me powers. This one i feel is all about finding out who you are and not conforming. God i fucking love this song! Honestly i sound like a crazy person i know but it does crazy things to me. I tense up i feel so fucking good and evil it's crazy. Ok i will stop yapping now.

A real meaningful eye opening song here set all about global warming and other crisis happening in the world caused by humans and nature it's self and how barbaric each party is adding on more ways to die than ever before. It's a preachy one.  A damn good one too!

3: Indestructible - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aWxBrI0g1kE
A mighty tune here. It's all about a soldier whose belief's make him think he is invincible that he is indestructible master of war. 

Here is my second place an atmospheric piece of metal awesomeness, fucking love this tune. It's possibly about someone finding someone else a male and a female with one being fucked up from their past haunted by their memories refusing to accept the new love they found is meaningful being but they are blinded by their hurt of the past they are damaged so they are trying to avoid human contact trying to not feel anything ever again. So someone damaged by the world who is refusing help because their trust for others has been broken. It's my thoughts on what it is about because it does tell that kind of story to me but hey i love this song so let's see what placed first.

1: Down with the sickness - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=09LTT0xwdfw
Can you feel that? Ah shit it's only number one of course!!! The first Disturbed song i seen i was like holy shit what is that sound the Owhahaha! This is monkey metal! Haha. This one's mommy bit i do not like listening to because it's fucked up and i feel ruins the song but anyway this song what is it about? Well the band has said it is all about society treating the different people as sick and wanting nothing to do with them. So yeah i kind of agree there and that will wrap it up here.

Honorable mentions: EVERY DISTURBED SONG!

Alright wow cheers for reading if you did. 
I hope you enjoyed.

Let me know if you have any suggestions for list's for me to do.

I like being busy.
This is keeping me busy.
It's fun and challenging.

Anyway, The god is out.

Random Ramblin's 26 - The recent times on RANDOM RAMBLIN-Z

Previously on my blog

It has been 2 months since i have posted a random ramblin's as i have been busy writing lists and doing other things and frankly not much eventfulness has happened.....til now. Read on for more from myself if you are interested in knowing what has been happening with me. 

There has been issue's in the South Wales cosplay community. I have also not been wanting to cosplay. More follows from my statement.

COSPLAY UPDATE
"There's lot of animosity going on in the cosplay world at the moment from apparent con competition fixes to venues and con organisers being too tough and to jealous cosplayers, to bullying assumptions and other things.

I Scott thought I would just post here that I feel sad that the friendly fun world of cosplay and it's community that I was so into has just gone downhill I'll be perfectly honest at this very moment in time.....I don't plan on cosplaying for the next con.

I don't very much feel like going to cfcc. It's close local and I know loads there that go that are true friends but there's people and staff and other things that are playing on my mind and putting me off. I blame the bad con I had earlier this year.

I've had 2 bad cons at cfcc 1 was my heisenberg cosplay con and the other was the muck up of my bleach ichigo cosplay.

I feel more like I'm better off heading to a different con if only for the guests at the moment. I don't know what it is besides this stuff I have listed that's bugging me or lowered my cosplay confidence but it sucks and I have been keeping that a secret since the end of the last con.

I Don't want or mean to disappoint anyone here of our lovely likers and fans because you guys are amazing. Our con friends or rather family I love to bits it annoys me I don't hang with them often. I do wish I had the tools and time to actually craft and make things cosplay wise I have so many ideas it's just the lack of resources really, honestly if I had time money and stuff I would have a go making something some armour or something a mask I don't know exactly.

I know we have months to go til cfcc and there's a whole lot of time for me to decide what I am doing but as of now I'm just empty of cosplay wise plans I'm not so excited or anything I'm just like vacant no ideas lacking the desire. It sucks. I know. Like I said the cons I really want to go to are just for the guests now. I feel the attention to cfcc has diminished so much it's crazy that the con used to have bundles of huge guests but now has one mainly.

James keeps on tempting me with ideas for cosplays but for now I'm just leaving it blank until I have the desire,the will and fun to get back into things.

I hope everyone reading this is well and continues to be amazing. :)

Thanks for reading.
Scott."

This post i posted on myself and James Evans run cosplay page called The Dare Cosplay. Check us out on facebook for cool stuff and updates. 

Since my statement i have leaned to the side of attending just one last comic con. Who knows i may change my mind again. Will keep you posted on what happens.

Right moving on swiftly now. 
There has been a lot of negativity lately on facebook which caused me to write this post (click the link to view it and come back to continue reading this blog.) - http://1stmetalgodsblog.blogspot.co.uk/2016/06/be-you-by-scott-jones.html
Wrestling Fandom Rant: The TNA hate bandwagon and hypocrites? 
The fact that on every forum or YouTube video involving Tna has Wwe fans just commenting going "Lol so bad tna sux lol lmao who tna got" etc has me just think to myself how sad those people are. Waste their times to crap on another company that has hard working talent and crew doing their best to feed theirselves to show the world another wrestling show alternative. 

It's always the Wwe fanboys or girls to yell this crap on tna stuff. You never see a Wwe "hardcore" fan go on other companies pages and go "new Japan sux or roh is bad" etc do you? It's always the "Hate Tna because it's cool to" bandwagon. Don't get why others can not accept and respect other wrestling companies. 

There's people that say "Tna is WCW" how? WCW is dead so is ECW and TNA has outlasted both. People criticize the stars of Tna and then when those stars end up in Wwe they seem to lose all memory of hating on said stars. So strange right? 

All this stuff just has me acting like Jericho and calling all those haters stupid idiots haha.

Apologies for the rant. 

Yes I still love,watch and enjoy TNA and yes I still watch,like and enjoy Wwe especially with Nxt,Enzo & Cass and Aj Styles. I do also enjoy other companies from time to time like roh,icw and njpw.

Enjoy this meme depicting how things are. 

Now a short break looking at my best tweets recently. 

GAMES
What games have i played or completed recently? I shall tell you!

Far cry Primal ain't bad. Nice new experience and good looking environment. Plays same as the last 2.

Finally played the new Doom I will be honest and say it's brutal and fast paced. However it's not for me.

Until Dawn what a game. Brilliant. Captivating. Shocking. Intense. Scary. Insane. Video game experience. I screamed at one point! I have had nights where i have been unable to sleep those Wendigo's are fucking scary man may have had sleep insomnia one night and pictured one or it was a nightmare either way it was fucking horrible. 8/10

I completed Assassin's Creed: Syndicate. It was pretty good however it was lacking things and it was pretty easy. I liked Evie and Jacob (Evie a bit more). Setting,graphics,controls all great. Story could have been better of course. 7/10

Minecraft story mode Episode 1 - 5. Admittedly this is not telltale's best it was good though. 6/10 overall. I may get eps 6-8 sometime when they are much cheaper anyway. 

Uncharted 4. A good game and a must play HOWEVER I thought the gameplay was average and the story wasn't particularly compelling (even if it paved the way for some truly incredible moments). The graphics, animations and overall presentation are second to none, but I'm afraid Naughty Dog's flair for state-of-the-art worldcrafting got the best out of reviewers which ended up ignoring some of the issues the game has.

• Stealth works, but is uninteresting. 

• The game has an overabundance of checkpoints

• The AI companions are terrible

• Companions want to move on, they lack curiosity.

Uncharted 4 is a really fun and beautiful game, but lacks replay value unless you are interested in the multiplayer which is pretty good but gets boring quick i found. I'd definitely recommend the game as a "must play" if you own a PlayStation 4, but I don't think it's as good as some people would've you think. 7/10

Dead Space was finally completed thanks to Jared he did it. I could not do it. I owe him many a thanks what a scary game. The time i started playing it i was in a unstable place mentally i would play it and be unable to sleep after it, yeah it scared me that bad. 8/10

Mkx story was pretty good. I really like the game and all it's new characters. Online is a harsh world of having your ass handed to though lol. 7/10.

I must say ps4 games are quite short gameplay wise at the moment i swear all the hard work is for the graphics more than the story. Yes i know "What about Witcher?" that is one exception. "What about fallout 4?" Ok that is another exception. Lol any one else want to contribute exceptions? Haha. 

As for E3 ahem SONY WINS.....FATALITY! 
Spiderman,God Of War,Detroit,Battlefield 1,Wildlands,Injustice 2,Xenoverse 2,CRASH REMASTERS,Kojima,Gears 4,X wing VR,Batman VR are all awesome and are my highlights.

Other things
I have felt like a ghost at times seeing old friends and people i went to school with and knew just having them blank me....No reason. No hello. No smile. No eye contact. Nothing from them i say hello or hey or hi or alright and they walk past me looking at the ground. Fucked up! Fuck em removed those individuals from all my social media's now. Don't need ignorant people. 

My laptop is constantly crashing and my disc drive is still fucked. New laptop maybe needed.

Job front quiet.

Volunteer work quiet besides moving things now and then to and from the old studio to the garage one.

People have said nicely "hey can you drive me or do this for me i will pay you" and i have delivered yet they have not delivered. They won't be using me again i tell you.

Feelings of love have been appearing again, for someone new at the moment. A friend of mine had interests in her and she had interests in him all for her to be continually stood up by that supposed friend of mine. It angers me greatly. He continues to ignore me. I want to yell and throttle him about using women but he avoids me now. He must know. I have not told said person of my feelings towards them i was hoping to get them one on one in person but then the other day. Despite how pissed and upset she was and how pissed everyone was with that guy the supposed friend of mine she goes and invites him and everyone else to a night out. Now sadly i can not go as i am attending an event but still i would not go that guy supposed friend is a knob head he always ditches you or starts shit he thinks he is a hard man when he is a scumbag!

Youtube is no longer notifying me of comments on my videos. FUCKING PISSTAKE MUN!

Thinking of moving the blog to wordpress or starting a new blog on wordpress or making a website dedicated to all thing's me. I will let you know what happens as soon as i know.

Jungle Book remake was ok. 
TMNT 2 was good.

Orlando shootings was horrible and senseless,condolences to the victims and their family. Hopefully America can stop this senseless violence some day. 

Might try my hand at poetry. A good friend of mine checked out some lyrics i wrote and he said "It's like poetry" which has me like. "Shit i can actually write poetry?" I honestly thought i was shit or could not write it. I will try again. See what happens init?

Just watched Wolf Children. It was alright like, different to what i normally watch anime wise but it had beautiful looks and music and a good voice cast. 

Thanks for reading if you did.
I like a good rant/vent sesh

Stay tuned for more top 10 lists.
Stay tuned on my youtube channel for more wicked content.
Ta-Ra!

Top 10 Bowling for soup songs.

Woo hoo hoo!
Hey yo! 
How you doin?
A fun list today i has for you my good reader.

Bowling for soup or as my friend James's dad calls them "Soup Dragons" haha always gets me. 
Bowling for soup i first discovered like anyone else back in the 00's with girl all the bad guys want.

I have seen and met the band live, the band are amazing and lovely as you can see below.

So here i am listing my top 10 songs of theirs based on my opinions and just giving a meaning of the song the best i can anyway lol.

The question is now....what 10 songs do i love best by them? Hmm let's dive into my brain and see as i empty it here.

SADLY! I will not be counting covers however i urge you to check out all the covers they have done such as summer of 69,stacy's mom,bare necessities and baby one more time and any others i have forgot to mention :)

This one is basically parodying punk rock all about the styles of punk from their looks to their punk activities to the moaning of girls simply put. Fun great song.


Great song honestly all about the angst here in its sound and vibes yet about being in a relationship with someone who you still think acts like a bitch really. That's all i get from the song but its wicked.

This song is all about those opportunities you missed and any regrets about them you have. Love this song. 

7: Ohio (Come back to Texas) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wBWNgg8CClc
This song is self explanatory,amazing song that gets the crowd singing every time such fun to witness and sing along to live.  

This song proves the band can be emotional basically is all about life's bumps and staying strong through it. Love this song. 

Another emotional song here which i think is all about trying to make up for all the mistakes you've made.

All about the best night of the week so catchy and hell of a song live.

Catchy as hell and fun. This song is basically explaining it's self in the music video with a fun look at a suburban housewife who didn't get to live her teenage fantasies of becoming famous....the 80s references in there just add to the fun.

2: Highschool never ends - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jrxI_euTX4A
Catchy,fun,true and entertaining that is what this song is. The song's pretty much self explanatory, it's about hating high school and wanting to get out, but when you do you realize the whole world is pretty much the same.

1: Girl all the bad guys want - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VGRxmYXi4Io
Here it is and no surprise it is the king of the list. As ever this one is self explanatory but the music video is hilarious!

That was a hell of a fun list, i love bowling for soup can't wait to see them again later this year with steel panther.

Honorable mentions: Phineous & Ferb theme,jimmy neutron theme,their covers and any others i have forgot to list.

Got a list you want me to list? Let me know!

See you again now bowl for that soup. The soup is out.
