Yep, after I was born in Jan of 1938, Europe went to he1l in a hand basket. Sorry about that!

 

[ZoeRipper]

A 13 year old boy accused Michael Jackson of molestation.

A 13 year old boy accused Michael Jackson of molestation.

Wow. Thanks for making me feel old! That seems like just yesterday.

 

[ZoeRipper]

Wow. Thanks for making me feel old! That seems like just yesterday.

Haha, anytime!

That's what we whippersnappers are here for!

 

[hibiscusmile]

So! It was you who destroyed Europe! :lol:

 

[JoeCapricorn]

What if someone here was born in 1899?

So yeah, 1986... the yeah Challenger exploded and Chernobyl exploded and it was revealed that stuff to make things go boom were sent to Iran and the president of the Philippines runs away.

But more importantly, at least to me, 1986 was the year of THRASH epic awesomeness. Slayer released Reign in Blood, Metallica released Master of Puppets, Dark Angel released Darkness Descends, Kreator released Pleasure to Kill, Sepultura released Morbid Visions, Megadeth released Peace Sells... But Who's Buying? and Nuclear Assault released Game Over - and that's not all of them either!

Candlemass released Epicus Doomicus Metallicus, basically inventing the term "Epic Doom Metal"
