Metal is my favorite genre but it’s not something I can do at karaoke, it’s just not the vibe at the place I go to. Closest I’ve done to metal is Mother by Danzig lol

I’d still recommend just going there even if you don’t sing and just check out the atmosphere. Not every karaoke bar is as welcoming as the one I go to. There’s one bar down the street that I know does a lot of live metal music and does karaoke on Sundays but I’m unfortunately unable to go at those days.

But also to answer the post, I’ve been really into Testament and Otep recently. Somehow I’ve never listened to Testament until recently but they fucking rock!

I’ve been going to a karaoke bar every Saturday since the year started . I can’t recommend it enough.

A good karaoke bar is a great time. You don’t have to sing if you don’t want to. And if you do sing, it doesn’t matter if you suck or can’t sing or stumble your words or forget some lyrics. Going up there and singing is an accomplishment in itself and no one at the bar is going to boo you or kick you off the stage. Worst thing that happens is you get no applause at the end but a good bar with a good vibe will always have people cheering you on.

Going regularly and getting up there and singing and not caring if I suck has done so much to improve my confidence and self esteem. And trust me, I suck at singing but I promise you that it doesn’t matter. No one will care that you suck. If you go up to sing, just go and have fun with it.

The book Johnny Got His Gun kind of answers this question. In the book, a WWI soldier gets blown up by an artillery shell and wakes up in a hospital missing most of his body. He has lost his arms, legs, nose, mouth, eyes, and ears.

In the end he learns he can communicate with a nurse by tapping his head in Morse code. So it would seem as long as you could move you head with your neck, you can still communicate with others.

One of my favorite questions to answer; what’s the difference between a country, a state, and a nation. All 3 terms are used interchangeably but actually do have very specific meanings.

A country is the geographical region that includes the territories and borders of a state or nation.

A state is the governing body that operates and exerts administrative control over a territory or nation.

A nation is much more complicated and not as clear cut but in essence is the people who occupy a country or state. The bonds that create a nation can be different depending on who you ask and be a global world spanning bond like a religion or language or something small scale and local, like a sports team or a neighborhood block.

Hope that helps
