Francis is Pissed About Diablo 3

Diablo III

Two decades have passed since the demonic lords, Diablo, Mephisto, and Baal, set out across the world of Sanctuary on a vicious rampage, twisting humanity to their unholy will. Yet for those who battled the Prime Evils, the memory fades slowly.

When Deckard Cain returns to the ruins of Tristram Cathedral seeking clues to defeat new stirrings of evil, a fiery harbinger of doom falls from the heavens, striking the very ground where Diablo once entered the world. This fire from the sky reawakens ancient evils and calls the heroes of Sanctuary to defend the mortal world against the rising powers of the Burning Hells once again.

But Francis doesn’t care… HE’S PISSED.

It’s most popular in countries in Asia, such as Malaysia, Indonesia, Korea, and Thailand, but it’s also played in other parts of the world as well, including Canada and the United States. What makes sepak takraw different from Volleyball is that it’s played with a rattan ball and players are only permitted to touch this ball with their feet, knees, chest or head.

11 Covers of Nirvana’s “Smells Like Teen Spirit” (including Miley Cyrus and Tori Amos)

Nevermind by Nirvana
Bands around the world cover songs every day; whether it’s at a bar, on a stage, or in a concert hall, bands and artists enjoy paying tribute to the musicians who inspire them. For new or local artists, covering a popular song or two can be an easy way to please a crowd before introducing an original song that the musician hopes they’ll also enjoy.

Something I’ve noticed about most garage bands and cover bands is that almost all of them can play Smells Like Teen Spirit by Nirvana. And it’s not just because it’s an easy song to play (though it does have a simple rhythm), but also because nearly everyone likes it Nirvana is hardcore sh*t! It’s always a hit when playing live because it’s so familiar. Everyone has heard of Kurt Cobain and Nirvana.

But it’s not just the fans and listeners; it’s so popular that I suspect you would have a difficult time finding any musician that couldn’t play it or at least come close just having heard the melody. Since so many people are familiar with the song it’s an easy first song for many bands to practice and learn as well.
