They started dating shortly thereafter, and last night they had a little announcement to make. They are officially expecting a child, so I'm proud to announce that the Metallic Onslaught is looking forward to it's first offspring, as such... Okay, so it's not actually the SHOW'S offspring, but... Oh, never mind... Congrats, Will and Lindsey! This is where the Serious Boat drifts off and never comes back to shore...

Joe Marro returned for a couple of hours last night, and he brought his guitar! Which was awesome, outside of some interference problems, which we attributed to cell phone usage. May have to tone that down in the future, hmmmmm... Of course, it didn't exactly help that Jeffie wanted to contribute to the music that Joe was playing. I mean, we were actually having fun as Joe just let his guitar do the talking for him. To be honest, I'd have to say it was at least moderately entertaining as Jeffie exchanged banter with Joe's guitar. Made me tjhink of Steve Vai for some reason... But, then Jeffie had to ruin something that was actually humorous by wanting to sing a song while Joe played, and it turned into this goofy, surreal mess... Speaking of surreal, Jeffie got on the subject of Joe Marro being made of Smarties. Or was it Skittles? Damn... Thankfully this was after Joe had departed for the evening, so there was no way for him to fully suibstantiate that claim. Although I do believe he mentioned pieces of Joe being left behind, and suggesting that they tasted like Skittles... or Smarties... SweetTarts, maybe? Shit...

Recap by Randy aka MetalWulf aka Wulfie aka MetalHoax aka Hoaxie...phew...

This was one of those nights where the stupidity level went completely off the charts. I honestly don't know where to begin with this... Let's see.. .Joe Marro joined us in the studio for his first visit in just a hair over a year. Our young guitar virtuoso seems to be doing well, although things with his previous band, Paradyme, kinda fell through. Luckily we've got some recordings that came from that particular meeting of the musical minds, and we've been playing some of them over the past couple of weeks. Joe's got other things goin' on, though, so there's no worry of him falling off the face of the planet, musically speaking. He'll be performing with In The Presence Of Enemies, part of a show that is headlined by Animals As Leaders, and takes place at Mohawk Palace in Buffalo, NY on July 18. He's also still contributing to Marrotech, which you can find right here on good ol' Facebook as well as MySpace. Good places to take a listen to Joe's work, to be honest. The kid is pretty damned phenomenal. So much for the serious portion of the show!
