Twitter - Evil Bird

The RMR crew already had a few run-ins with the folks over at Twitter. But it was mostly about minor stuff. Concerns about the makeup of their website, the Dorsey-man’s frightening gobbledygook and what have you.

And that’s also the only reason why the RMR Social Media folks even bothered with a heavily censured, low-value messaging app mainly populated by elitists, politicians, colorful celebrities, miscellaneous artists, and misguided government bodies.

Long gone are times when we split everything between Hard Rock and its younger sibling Heavy Metal. Being a metalhead really meant you went to a Heavy Metal concert and bought comfortable vinyl in a music store. Straightforward bands like Iron Maiden, AC/DC, Krokus, Metallica, or Black Sabbath played, and you knew them all.

Since then, people developed this inbred and somewhat insane need to give a new name to every friggin’ undercurrent of the metal universe. This annoying temptation to put everything into little boxes is called Divide Et Impera (divide and conquer). Or in other words: If … [...] Click to raid more!
