TOP TEN SONGS TO LISTEN TO WHILST BEING BOMBED IN IRAQ ON VALENTINE’S DAY
MetalSucks reader John Forrester, a U.S. soldier stationed in Iraq, won us over a few months ago when he won our Dethklok contest by telling us a story about how he withstood a mortar attack in his bunker in Iraq while listening to the brutality of the ‘Klok. So we were pretty psyched when John emailed us this morning (way to stay alive, dude!) with his listening choices for this fine day. While some of his choices are dubious, some of ’em are right on and all of ’em are damn funny. So here’s his email in its entirety:
