Mel Stefaniuk @melstefaniuk.bsky.social · 21hMy later-in-life appreciation of Slipknot continues undeterred as I finally give their first album from 1999 a spin fearing dated nu-metal nonsense but instead find songs with choruses like this 100
Mel Stefaniuk @melstefaniuk.bsky.social · 23hIncredible moment listening to classic rock station on way to work this morning where they played a very long interstitial saying they were about to play new rock and how new rock is just the next generation of classic rock and then they immediately started AC/DC’s “Who Made Who” 080
Mel Stefaniuk @melstefaniuk.bsky.social · 29/09/2026The first five Black Sabbath albums are so dense and intricate it’s hard to believe that none of them are longer than 42 minutes. MASTER OF REALITY is only 34 minutes! I‘ve listened to that album hundreds of times and if you told me it was 80 minutes long I’d probably believe you. 160

Mel Stefaniuk @melstefaniuk.bsky.social · 03/09/2026Why are people acting like this is serious??? It was written by Sam and Ivan Raimi, and Sam directed it. Y’all think Army of Darkness is a serious medieval drama? 252
Mel Stefaniuk @melstefaniuk.bsky.social · 02/09/2026 Jimmy Donaldson was down to three shotgun shells, two cigarettes, and one hell of a hangover. He lit the second last smoke with the dead man’s lighter and wheezed in relief as the nicotine hit. Better than a billion video views. More were coming to kill him. And he was ready. 181
Mel Stefaniuk @melstefaniuk.bsky.social · 02/09/2026Danny Boyle is one of the greatest filmmakers of all time coming off ANOTHER masterpiece with 28 YEARS LATER and INK even reteams him with Jack O’Connell from that. But I don’t need to explain this because I’m sure everyone saw 28YL in theatres last summer and know Danny is at the top of his game. 110

Mel Stefaniuk @melstefaniuk.bsky.social · 01/09/2026I covered a lot of Cadets events as a freelance reporter in Manitoba because the kids are always doing great things in their communities like food drives and volunteering.

Mel Stefaniuk @melstefaniuk.bsky.social · 31/08/2026Metallica. May 2003. I was about to take the stage with them for the first time as their new bassist. This was the big unveiling and we were gonna debut the song I wrote called “The Guilt of Count Dracula.” I looked at James and the guys and…I knew it wasn’t right. I put down my bass and ran. 050
Mel Stefaniuk @melstefaniuk.bsky.social · 30/08/2026Illness. The great humbler. One day you’re on top of the world drinking normal tasting water and eating food and the next you can only stomach juice and soup as you revert back to a baby state. We think we are all big boys and girls but we are one bout of nausea away from the sippy cup. 040
