There was a screening of that film the other day at the cinema I go to with special guest The Edge. Couldn’t go as I was snowed in… but I may not have gone anyway, I’m not U2’s biggest fan.
He likes “smooth jazz” (translation Michael Bolton) and was noticeably upset with me when we first met because my favorite guitarist is Slash! Just thought he was a post middle aged music snob but no…
WHAT IN THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU?
MICHAEL BOLTON IS GOD. HE WAS THE ONLY MAN WITH THE COURAGE TO ASK A WOMAN…
‘Can I touch you…

there…?’
C’mon, and he destroyed Georgia on my Mind and Sittin on the Dock of the bay better than any black metal band could ever wish too. Seriously, he just ruined them.
He is the most brutal and grim singer ever. Why? Because I actually find it uncomfortable to listen to him! Yet, all this heavy metal crap is nice to listen to! So fuck it! Bolton is SATAN
MICHAEL BOLTON, MY FRIENDS
is SATAN [pirate][pirate][pirate]
I know for a fact that Jimmy likes YOUNG girls, too - like 15 year olds. So, he is a bit satanic in my book!
Ever hear the SHARK MEAT tale? Seriously???
Tell me if you have or haven’t, and I shall elucidate.
Nevermind satanism, what about superuseless superpowers:

It’s just a 90 minute circle jerk between a trio of egos. Avoid.

well to his credit he doesn’t really discuss either, but you can tell he’s all into it. he’s got that glazed over look of the true believer, the wide eyes and the fake smile. We haven’t really had a religion or politics discussion and I haven’t heard him indoctrinating anybody with it. the only real reason I know he’s churchy was because he was on the phone at lunch making arrangements for someone to sit in for him on guitar for his church group cause he had a prior work engagement he had to go to, and it was, “thank you preacher dean this and thank you preacher dean that! and god bless you!” and then the whole satanic music trip. For politics the director made some comment about how Mr. Jesus Christ likes Rush Limbaugh, which makes sense, you know because GOD = G.O.P. and then Mr. Christ said something to the effect of “he and I are about as extreme opposites as you can get.”

It’s funny grmpy… whenever I used to get drunk, I would always go around saying ‘god bless you’ and ‘bless’ people… work that one out. Can’t remember even doing it.
This Mr Flanders sounds like a laugh. Someone suggested Alice Cooper. I honestly think that would be a great idea. There’s a monk out there who does heavy metal, also… dig into it… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ap3sIaLNYM
ANYWAY; THE MAIN EVENT; THE SHARK MEAT STORY.
Basically, one day a boy named Robert, and his three best pals, John, Jimmy and Bonzo went fishing on a pier. Some lovely girls joined them. These girls were younger than them, much younger, but it was okay, for they had these merry young men to chaperone them!
Anyway, Robert managed to catch a fish; a BIG fish! Turns out it was a gummy shark!
Looks like they’d found dinner! So, all of them cut it up to eat! When, all of a sudden, one of them got the idea to get the cut up pieces of baby shark and…
fuck the groupies with it. I’m not joking.
Bit of urban legend actually, it was their tour manager who did it. http://www.snopes.com/music/artists/mudshark.asp has the real story. I remember reading it in “Hammer of the Gods”, that’s a pretty fun book even though I’m not a big Zep fan.
Let’s not forget that Black Sabbath’s “Master Of Reality” had a lot of Christian themes as well…
And Slayer’s “Jesus Saves”. Tom Araya is a practicing Catholic who is well aware that a lot of what he sings (since he doesn’t usually write the lyrics) is actually the polar opposite of what he believes.

That’s true. Didn’t know that until a little after the God Hates Us All album. Think he said something like, “no, god hates no one. It’s a pretty catchy name though”. Something like that.
But at the end of the day, i’d rather be a satanist than a shitty musician.

Oh man - When ‘Rush Limbaugh’ is uttered i have to leave the room! “I’m deaf! No, i’m healed!” “My heart! Oh, i’m fine!” “Drug addicts are scumbags of the lowest order! Me? well…”

John Bonham used to punch out anyone who looked at him sideways - including a young woman in a restaurant who waved at him and said ‘hi’!
Rock’n’Roll debaunchery. Pffft!
And what does ‘satanic’ even mean anyway?
If anyone is or anything is ‘satanic’ these days it’s major corporations or governments - not some bonehead kids listening to Venom in their parent’s basement scrawling pentagrams on the wall and giving the ‘devil horn’ salute!
Which do you suppose is capable of doing more harm?

DAMN. That takes the gloss off of it a fair bit…

He pretty much was asked why the album was called and he goes ‘BECAUSE IT’S COOL!’. Their trip has always been to shock, and that’s about it.
With regards to being a satanist than being a shitty musician… a lot of black metal has made me realise more often that not, these are congruent to one another. Yeah, there’s a lot of good stuff out there, but there’s just so much shit to sift through…

he would have had to have done that drunk; apparently, he was a real gent, but once he got on the sauce, that was the end of it. there’s one story where they were on their plane, and he was making nice with the air hostess they’d hired. well, he downed about 8 black russians, proclaimed to everyone that he was ‘going to rape her’, and pretty much had to be subdued by the entire entourage once he started tearing at her clothes.
then there was the time he couldn’t play because he ate a fuckload of bananas before a show… used to eat heaps because he’d get massive stagefright…

Totally agree. Just look at the neo-liberalist mentality of the post WWII West, how that has allowed for complete corporate monopolisation, and consider how the annexing of record companies, music chains, shopping outlets all under the one umbrella of any particular company has allowed for the diversity and intrigue of popular music to have been utterly quashed to the level it is now. You only have to look at the charts from the 70s and compare them to what we have today.
The charts today are all about sex appeal.
You can mime any ol’ piece of funky r’n’b crap and still sell a million as long as you look good doing it. It’s all aimed at dipshit mall people.
Nothing pushes boundries anymore - it’s all so light and fluffy and non threatening. There’s not even any decent ‘rock’ on the charts anymore. Just diet rock approved by major sponsors.
Back in the 70’s if you got up on stage you’d better pray you had some decent material because you had nothing to hide behind.

I think you mean neo conservative. liberals are all about live and let live. conservatives wanna tell everyone what to do and how to do it. conservatives are more likely to get monopolies than liberals because conservatives have OCD when it comes to $$ and power.

Heh. I was just joking about that part. Satanism is up there for the dumb ones, imo. And the black metal genre does it zero justice. It’s supposed to be in defiance to everthing that christianity is, but yet you have goofballs in black and makeup? No thanks, heh. I can listen to some of it, but I refuse to see or watch that garbage. But I was only just saying I rather be an idiotic satanist than a shitty music. Both are weak. If that makes any sense. heh.
Amlux hit it right on the head.
Its all about image today, if you have “BLING” and if you’re sexy you’re gonna make it. Talent is secondary or non existent, todays best artists dont even write their own lyrics or tour for that matter, cause they have no fucking talent.

“No talent” used to be the appeal. that’s how the punk movement got started. bunch of art house/performance artists looking to be weird.

Yeah. Pretty much sums up Slayer.
Have little to no time for them.
