Don't care who the band or the diner or the meal is: if I see a pic of a band eating at a diner on tour, I am immediately reminded that touring is some of the most fun you can have

Fast forward to being a teenage suburban punk in the 90s, and Hydra Head started their Black Sabbath split 7" tribute series, which is when I guess I first considered their music? In the form of the Eyehategod / AC split, where AC basically just mocked Black Sabbath (as they were wont to do)
