Figured this would be a good bookend.
And of course, we need the fleet girls.

Metal Tuesday – Sabaton – Yamato
I couldn’t figure out why Sabaton wanted to do a song on a battleship that while impressive on an engineering feat, turned out to be obsolete by the time it was sent out during the Pacific War. Then, I saw the ads for World of Warships.
And the joke was that within a week of release, the weebs would have a redone video using Space Battleship Yamato footage. Yeah, less than a week. Less than a day I think.
And of course, there was one for the fleet girls.
RIP Ross The Boss
Last week, Ross “The Boss” Friedman passed away from ALS at 72.
I knew him as the guitarist and stage presence of Manowar when I first encountered the band in the late 80’s. He was the talker of the group when The Brother, Rocket Engineer Brother, and I took a road trip up to Chicago to catch them in a rare US show.
I have fond memories of some of Manowar’s albums, but kind of fell away from the band over the last decade or so. I will always remember him on the first song that brought me into Manowar – and power metal.
