METAL CRUSH MONDAY: Scott Ian’s Battlestar Galactica Set Visit
Tomorrow (Monday August 17) Aaron’s episode of ‘SYFY WIRE’S METAL CRUSH‘ with Scott Ian from the band ANTHRAX is airing. So I thought that now would be the perfect time to post photos from the time Scott Ian and Frank Bello visited the set of BATTLESTAR GALACTICA in August 2006.
Aaron Douglas (@theaarondouglas) August 16, 2020
This was one of my favourite days on set. I’ve been an Anthrax fan since the 80’s & getting to meet Scott & Frank was amazing. Just awesome guys. I may have totally fanboy’d 😉 Scott and I tell the story of the set visit. Have a listen to it tomorrow #SYFYWIREMetalCrush

METAL CRUSH MONDAY: Aaron Douglas & Scott Ian (Aug 17, 2020)
Aaron is going to be featured in Syfy’s new weekly segment called ‘Metal Crush Mondays’ with Scott Ian from the band ANTHRAX.
I’ll post the press release from SyFy at the bottom of this post.
These interviews will be shown on the SyFy channel (USA) every Monday starting August 3rd at 7:30pm during the airing of a movie. I think it’s going to kinda work like how the interviews with the BSG cast were broken up and slotted in during the BSG marathon that aired on SyFy back in April.
Aaron “crashed” the interview with Ian Scott from the band ANTHRAX. This interview will air during the movie ‘Underworld: Blood Wars’ on Monday August 17. Aaron “crashing” the interview was prearranged by the people at SyFy so that it would be a surprise for Scott. So that should be really fun to watch Scott’s reaction 🤯
And please don’t boo-hoo at me if you don’t live in the USA. I live in Australia, Aaron lives in Canada, so we both won’t be able to watch it either. But I think (???) from what they are saying in the press release that they’re going to put the interviews up on YouTube. I read that part 4 times and I still don’t quite understand. lol.

Might as well jump (4×07: Guess What’s Coming to Dinner?)
By: Scott Ian
Date: May 22nd, 2008

Note: The following is a blog entry by SCOTT IAN (from the band ANTHRAX) that was published on the Official Battlestar Galactica website. In this blog entry Scott shares a conversation with Aaron that makes you just want to give Aaron a great big hug :(
If there is one thing I’ve learned over the last two episodes it’s that Cylons are, to quote my man Rob Zombie; “more human than human.” Their programming is filled with blind faith, pettiness, jealousy, backstabbing, and racism. All these wonderfully human traits amongst a species that is supposed to be superior to humans in every way. Maybe we’ll find out in the Caprica prequel series that this was done on purpose. Ha ha Cylons, just wait! You may destroy humanity but pretty soon you’re going to be your own worst enemies. You’re going to be just like us! Maybe the fifth will be an obese chain-smoking fanny pack-wearing slob that knows the way to the Churros stand at Disney World. Bummer.
All Adama has to do is blow up the resurrection hub, grab the five and go to earth and let the Cylons kill each other. Ah, but as we all know, BSG never takes the easy route.
Compared to what’s coming they’re all just running around on a puppy farm. Dark days loom for these people we’ve come to know as friends.
Spoilers I have boys and girls, but I’m bound by a higher authority (NBC Universal) to keep my frakkin’ mouth shut.
I did speak with Aaron “Chief” Douglas about the future of our Galactians on set up in Vancouver. Here’s the skinny from Tyrol:
“It’s lunch and I am in my trailer reading the last two episodes of Battlestar Galactica… ever. Wow… big day.”
Of course I asked him if it was great…
“Frakking awesome!!! Best stuff Ron has ever written!! It will blow your mind. I just finished reading them and I am fighting a fruitless and losing battle with my tears. It is amazing… I have to shoot now after lunch and I am teary.”
I told Aaron it’s killing me that he won’t tell me more but at the same time, I don’t want to know. I want to see it played out the way the producers, directors, writers mean for us to see it. An as far as the aforementioned spoilers, they don’t add up to much and I found out by accident.
I can’t believe Sharon shot Natalie. Natalie isn’t even the Six that takes Hera in Sharon’s dream. I though Natalie was the shining light (besides the fact that she’s super hot) for the Cylons. Bummer for us.
Guess What’s Coming To Dinner was a great episode for many reasons but for me mainly because it really moved the mythology forward. I really felt like the multiple arcs were starting to join. Maybe next week I’ll throw an Un-boxing party for D’Anna. I hope she’s back to being all surly after being boxed. I can only assume it’s not pleasant.
Roslin must really be on some strong drugs if she thinks Gaeta has a good voice. Please Doc Coddle, put him out of our misery!! Is the singing a Cylon outing or just a misdirection? Gaeta the fifth? I don’t buy it. All of a sudden soon to be peg-leg is going to have that much to do with everything? He did play an integral role on New Caprica but I still don’t buy it.
Adama knows something is up with Tigh and judging by next weeks previews, neither of them are happy about it. Adama’s presence was finally felt again in Guess Who’s Coming and hopefully he’ll be right in the thick of it from here on out.
I loved the ending and the realization that the Hybrid is really running shit.
What am I going to do when this show is over? I’m getting teary too Chief.
Fight’em til you can’t,
Scott

Note: The following is a blog entry by SCOTT IAN (from the band ANTHRAX) that was published on the Official Battlestar Galactica website. In this blog entry Scott shares a conversation he had with Aaron about this episode.
And I don’t mean hope in the context of religion or faith or any of Baltar’s story arc. I mean hope in the context of Tigh made out with Six. TIGH MADE OUT WITH SIX. Michael Hogan must be stoked. Granted, he got the shit kicked out of him first (and he smartly didn’t use his Cylon strength to fight back). On the list of things I never thought I would see on BSG, that would have to be right at the top. Right next to Tigh being a Cylon and Tigh changing a baby. Is that Cylon or human programming that made him change the baby? Either way, classic. And then right after his paternal moment he’s right back at Tory with “What is that, more of Baltar’s crap?” The man is a rusty iron crowbar, slowly crumbling, holding on to the thing’s he knows even though he knows it’s futile. Tigh says “feel what ya gotta feel” to Chief even though he’s searching for a way to “flip the switch” and bury the guilt of murdering his wife. Not gonna happen Patchy. Your new-fangled programming won’t let you. You need absolution and you’re going to find it (and a whole lot more) in the arms of Six, she of the magic (or is it just Cylon?) nookie. If that doesn’t make you forget your troubles (remember that nookie helped Baltar help her to destroy humanity) I don’t know what will. So Tigh gets to snog with Six and Chief hits the bottle.
Poor Chief. He loses his lady and then loses his shit with the old man. His description of Cally, “a shriek with dull-vacant eyes, the boiled cabbage stench of her” was oddly accurate. Is Chief’s Cylon programming disavowing his relationship with a human knowing that it could have been with Boomer or is it just a case of the grass being greener? I asked my main-man Aaron Douglas and he was his usual forthcoming self (although I can’t print everything he told me, no spoilers here).
“Dude. That ep was a really tough one for me. Long days of really emotional stuff. Really very tiring and hard because the rest of the cast has little to do so they get restless after 5 hours of doing the same thing and I am still trying to stay in the place of emotion of a funeral.
The scene with Eddie and I in the bar is one of my favorites. I have not seen the ep yet so I don’t know how it turned out. We did my coverage 3 times. The first time, which by all accounts was the best, was not recorded. The camera guys did not turn them on. That was frustrating. So what people saw on Friday was my 2nd best performance. I will watch it tonight and see if I remember anything else. That was a year ago that we shot it.”
Oh yeah….now Tigh gets to kiss Six and once again the Chief just goes and gets loaded… tell me how that is fair? Fuckers!
And he also added this:
“And tell the fans to watch for the Chief in the next weeks ep. He goes a little nuts……..”
I can’t wait!!!
I want a Chief/Tory showdown. Tory’s gotta go.
I have to agree with Roslin regarding the Baltar family. Not because of the safety of the fleet from a religious war, because I’m over the Baltar/Messiah thing. I guess it makes sense for his character that he would self-appoint himself this position but I just don’t care. His speech was eloquent enough but he’s my favorite character and I feel like he’s being underused. Put him in the brig and blow all his followers out the airlock and get him back in the mix with the Cylons. Adama would do that. Unless he’s once again completely full of crap and it’s all part of some other plan he’s go going. I’m hoping to be as usual, pleasantly surprised by his arc.
I do like the set-up for the power struggle between Roslin and Apollo. Apollo seems to have more backbone now then he ever did as a pilot. He ain’t taking no shit off of nobody!
No Starbuck this week. I’m sure next week she’ll be back in all her sweatiness.
Until then fight’em ’til you can’t.
Cheers,
Scott

We’re just dirty murdering slut robots. Well at least that’s what Tory is. Or should I say it’s what she’s becoming. Now that she’s one of the final five Cylon’s she’s become so much more interesting. Seriously, before she was outed did any of you care? I don’t think I even knew her name. She did have Billy’s big shoes to fill he writes with complete seriousness. Now she’s like a quieter Juliette Lewis in Natural Born Killers all screwing and killing. Her activation has taken her to the Dark Side young Luke and I’m afraid there’s no coming back. And what side is it? This isn’t a side of Cylon behavior that we’ve really ever seen. Maybe Cavil would cold-bloodedly blow someone out the airlock just because he can or for a goof, but at this point the rest of the Cylon’s have a higher purpose. Is Tory the evilest of Cylons? And what’s gonna happen with the other three? Why is Tory manifesting differently while the other three seem like themselves so far? Is Chief going to find out that Cally knew he was a Cylon or will he just think it was an anti-depressant fueled attack/suicide? I’m hoping Tory just evil’s up and tells him the truth. “I blew your lame-ass wife out the airlock because she knew our secret (and in general was pretty boring) and I would’ve frakked your cry-baby bitch kid too except he’s half Cylon ’cause that’s how I roll.” I emailed Aaron Douglas (yeah, the Chief and I are buds) and asked him all these questions. Here’s what he said:
“It only gets worse my friend. What we think Cally knew and didn’t know is explored over the next few eps with the Chief making little discoveries along the way. The final four Cylons are different from each other in the same way that humans are different from one another. We all have tendencies that manifest in various situations. The next couple of episodes contain a large arc for Tyrol. Callys death and some other things really come to a head. Enjoy. They were a really tough shoot.”
The shit is going to hit the fan when Chief finds out Tory killed his wife. Cylon or not, the Chief is the Chief is the Chief. The fact that they have no problems with killing off regulars and making other characters suffer intensely is one of the main reasons why I love this show. It’s so heavy. When an episode like 4.3 ends it really bothers me. It stays with me for days. That shot of Cally’s frozen bloated face was haunting. No heroic death for our little mechanic. Alone except for the uncaring stare of a Cylon holding HER baby and aware that she’s got seconds before the vacuum takes her. Brutal. I’ve invested years in these characters and the show is so well written that it makes me feel for these people. I care less about some real-life people than I do these TV ones. TMI? Maybe. I don’t give a frak.
Last week I knew that Boomer was sleeping with Cavil. This week proved me right. Ummm, gross. Boomer is really giving her line a bad rep. Does Roslin have annoying cancer? I hope Zarek goes back to his old ways and puts her out of her misery. I’m glad Zarek is back. He’s a great pot-stirrer and I love watching Richard Hatch. Was it me or did that blood-cleaning Centurion give stink-eye? The Centurions are plotting. I don’t think the “magic word” is going to cut it for too long. How many cartons of smokes did Doc Coddle bring? I’m starting to think he’s the fifth Cylon just for the fact that he’s not dying of emphysema. Everyone on the Demetrius needs to chillax. Starbuck has killed more Cylons than all of them combined and oh yeah, she came back from the dead. I don’t care how bi-polar she gets, I’d follow her to hell. I didn’t think Anders had the balls to frak Starbuck when she demanded to be frakked. I guess a Cylons gotta get some when he can. Too bad it’s not on HBO. The Cylon vs. Cylon war has really kicked off. I saw right through Cavil’s kowtowing. He’s Cavil. He’s the Devil. Who’s side are you on? I’m taking Husker.

Drop your dicks and grab your sticks!! (4×01: He That Believeth In Me)
By: Scott Ian
Date: April 5th, 2008
Source: Scott Ian’s Battlestar Blog
Note: The following is a blog entry by SCOTT IAN (from the band ANTHRAX) that was published on the Official Battlestar Galactica website. Scott shares a conversation he had with Aaron that includes the “Drop your dicks and grab your sticks” line that Aaron mentioned in our Ask the Chief Q&A in January :)
SPOILER WARNING: This blog entry is about Friday’s episode (4×01: He That Believeth In Me) so there’s some very mild spoilers in there if you haven’t seen the episode yet.
Unless you live abroad or you’re an idiot you’ve seen the premier of season four. And what a premier it was. Starting right from the end of season 3 where Starbuck came back from the dead (she wasn’t looking to eat Anders so at least we know she’s not a zombie) the episode didn’t answer any questions. What it did do was start the clock on what is going to be an incredible endgame. Every characters plot line (except Tom Zarek!!) has been set on his or her path and over the next 19 episodes, we’ll get the answers we’ve been so patiently waiting for.
Of all the stories being weaved I think Starbuck’s is the most compelling. She’s already been accused of being the one to lead humanity to it’s end and now she’s been dead/gone for 2 months and she miraculously returns in a freshly detailed Viper. Cylon? I don’t think so, too obvious unless that’s what they want us to think. I think Starbuck did see Earth and is telling the truth about her experience. Wormholes people. It’s a Hollywood fact that time and space mean nothing in the face of a wormhole. I believe her, and not because she could kick my ass, because I think she’s the key to the whole thing. Screw the Gods, or Six’s one God, Starbuck is Jesus and she will put a bullet between your eyes if you disagree. If I’m wrong, hire Apollo to sue me.
The 4 newbie Cylons are as you would expect, confused and trying extra hard to be human. Michael Hogan really stands out by making Tigh even more intense with only one eye to emote with. Seriously, his one-eyed stare makes my balls nervous. When he puts his gun on the table was that to consummate a suicide pact between the 4 of them (before they would harm someone else) or was it just him getting rid of his gun so if he wakes up and wants to shoot the old man (nice trick with the assassination before the credits) he won’t have the iron to do it.
Anders eye-dentification with the Raider was killer!!! Can’t wait til he finally gets to let loose.
Chief is business as usual so far. Cylon Shmylon, he’s got shit to do. I texted with Aaron Douglas after the show and asked him about the gun scene with Tigh and he told me that he had the same questions as I did and no one would explain the scene to him. Aaron was kind enough to share this with me and I will share with you…
“I had the best adlib ever in the scene where Chief walks onto the hangar deck yelling for the Nuggets. It didn’t make it into the show. What did make it was something like “lets go nuggets! your momma’s aren’t going to save ya today” it is all adlib’d but one take I said, & this is pure gold, “drop your dicks and grab your sticks!” 5 seconds later Harvey (producer) says from video village, “you can’t say dicks on TV”. We had to do it again. Ha. Being a Cylon is great. Someone else does my laundry. Started back shooting last week. Its great to be back but its sad to see it go.”
Thanks Aaron,
Chief will save the day. Anders and Foster, expendable. Just my opinion.
Adama was in the background this episode. I think he believes Starbuck is who she says she is. Is he the 5th? I don’t think so. Or is it so obvious that he actually is?
And finally my favorite Galactian; Baltar. Of all the sub-plots, this Manson family-esque cult leader deal is not my favorite. Yes, I love that he’ll say anything to get laid, ridicule the situation and then even start to believe his own bullshit but where is this going? Unless his harem start killing in his name with his semi-approval, I’m not interested. And how do they have this Baltar orgy den complete with shrine on Galactica? Really? No one knows this is going on on a Battlestar? Hopefully inviso-Six will get jealous and put an end to this quick.
I think I can safely say Starbuck won’t be shooting Roslin.

Note: The following is a blog entry by SCOTT IAN (from the band ANTHRAX) that was published on the Official Battlestar Galactica website. In this blog entry Scott mentions AARON DOUGLAS / CHIEF TYROL.
Hello my friends and welcome to my tiny little corner of the BSG universe. Somehow through sheer fan-boy tenacity (and a lot of help from the Lords Of Kobol over at Sci-Fi/NBC Universal) I have actually been asked to write about my favorite show. And not just write a blog on my personal site but an actual blog on Sci-Fi’s site blabbing about the most well written show on TV. Where Ron Moore and David Eick blog. Holy crap.
And who am I to have been given this weighty task?
I’ve been in a band called Anthrax for 27 years and I’m a total horror/sci-fi/comic dork. A million years ago we had a song called “I Am The Law” based on Judge Dredd (way before the abortion of a movie with Stallone which we refused to let our song be a part of; you HAVE TO leave the helmet ON) and that opened the door for me into the actual world of horror/sci-fi/comics that I’d been admiring from afar since I was a kid reading Ditko Spidey and anything Kirby touched (even Fin Fang Foom). When the internet became the place to espouse ones opinions to the world, from behind the safety of my Mac I jumped in head first and wooooosh (Lost forward flash sound effect) cut to me (trying) to write a Lobo series for DC, a food column (Food Coma) for SuicideGirls.com (nude tattoed chicks but you can read the articles for free) and a blog about Galactica’s final season.
Obviously I will be writing about each episode this season and I also hope to have some special guests (cast members, other “celeb” BSG fans and Brent, Jason and Eric my buddies that are as insane as me about the show) be a part of this as well. Yes, I’m talking to you Chief.
Friday night looms.
Cheers,
Scott

ANTHRAX VISITS THE GALACTICA
Here’s some pics of our set visit to the set of Battlestar Galactica at Vancouver Film Studios in
Caprica CityVancouver, British Columbia on August 2, 2006. Since Anthrax’s only hobbies/interests outside of metal are eating, drinking, boobs, more metal and watching TV, getting the chance to visit the greatest show on TV was, how should I put this… was #@($&#*@$#*& UNREAL!!!The gallery is mostly cornball photos of Frankie, Scott, Mike Monterulo (our agent) and the always heinous Brent Thompson (me, duh). We all the best time and everyone was AMAZINGLY nice to us. We were just kids in a candy store all day. The joke is they must have thought we were Metallica or something.
Best moment you ask? We were at the catering truck and Edward James Olmos (Admiral Adama) turns around and says “HEY, IT’S THE BAND!”, so cool!!! Then he commanded us to “EAT” and we all scurried around like roaches in sunlight. When he gives an order, you better do it.
Huge thanks to Mark Strigl of TALKING METAL (iTunes #1 rated heavy metal music podcast) for hooking us up and Lana “Cy-Lana” Kim of SciFi for allowing a bunch of foul-mouthed, just got in from the strip clubs ballet at 4AM, tattooed bunch of metalheads on the lot. Hugs and kisses to Sian McArthur for being the hostess with the mostest. To all the set guys that moved the latters and lights and all that stuff for us – you can be in our road crew any day! Humongous thanks to Carole Segal for the amazing photos. Oh, and thank you Ronald D. Moore for creating the best TV show in the history of medium. Why is television a medium? Because anything well done is rare. All puns intended and Battlestar is the filet mignon of TV shows.
Also horns go out to the Aaron (Chief Tyrol) Douglas for showing us around his ship, Katee (Starbuck) Sackhoff for signing my Dirk Benedict action figure and starring in my dreams nightly, James (Gaius Baltar) Callis for being more evil than George Bush, Michael (Col. Tigh) Hogan for not throwing us in the brig, Tricia (No. 6) Helfer for allowing us to stare breathlessly at her followed by more staring, Tahmoh (Helo) Penikett for not reporting us when Scott dropped his ice cream on the Basestar set, Kandyse (Dualla) McClure for having the world’s monst beautiful eyeballs, Michael (Anders) Trucco for letting me call him “Cousin Oliver” all day, Dean (Brother Cavil) Stockwell for acknowledging our presence, Lucy (D’Anna Biers) Lawless for not going Zena on my ass and last but not least Grace (Boomer) Park for wearing the latest in Cylon chic – the new ANTHRAX girlie shirt (available here).
We’ve got even more photos but we were on the Basestar and the
evil corporate CylonsNBC/Universal won’t let us post them yet. Maybe in January. We’ve got some killer video too we may air someday too. Anthrax – more metal than a chrome toaster!So Slam We All –
