    Anyone like muse?

    :kickass: I would actually cite BHAR as my most favourite album by them. It has an end of the world, wagnerian, apocalyptic feel to some of it.

    Who seriously can believe in bible?

    indeed, a point well–made. however, from a secular point of view, ‘christians’ had to argue with jews and reinterpret judaic passages to ‘prove’ jesus as the predicted messiah. this proved wholly difficult because the jewish prophecies looked forward to a time when a wholly political leader...

    Hip-Hop

    i stopped buying rap albums literally ten years ago. i think my last purchase consisted of ice–t’s vi — return of the real album. prior to that i had bought mobb deep’s the infamous. i loved, breathed, lived and spoke rap in my late teenage years. i recall when snigg niggy nigg, i mean snoop...

    Anyone like muse?

    bizarrely i didn’t like it. i say ‘bizarrely’ because i then heard ‘newborn’ — well, saw its video on a music channel as i drifted in & out of consciousness late one night, and it changed my opinion of them forever. it sounded like an entire album compressed...

    Prog-Rock Essentials

    ooh, one of my favourites. to this thread’s list i would add: fairfield parlour: from home to home. this brilliant british band started off as a psychedelic group called kaleidoscope and also have a prog album prior to morphing into fairfield parlour: white–faced lady. i would...

    the Pronunciation thread

    i saw scott ian from anthrax present one episode of headbangers ball’s ‘into the pit’ many many years ago. he played a celtic frost song and said that tom g. warrior himself had told him on tour that he (tom) pronounced celtic frost with a soft ‘c’ sound!

    Cool, but odd cover songs by Metal groups

    at least 2 folks mentioned dillinger escape plan but neither have stated that d·e·p covered justin trousersnake’s ‘like i love you’! :OMG: i haven’t heard it though.

    Why Jews and Arabs are mortal enemies

    indeed. and, interestingly enough, western media accepts this as a ’neutral’ state. the admittedly horrible suicide falafel killings ended up described in one prominent english newspaper as ending ’months of relative calm’. continual shelling and killings of palestinians = relative calm??? :erk:

    Someone familiar with Deleuze & Guattari?

    :) A veritable bible, that tome! notable philosophical flaws in it, but it still remains an essential work — for me, at least :) surely you don’t want a summary of that entire book do you??? it contains many new ideas and phraseology, ideological concepts like the body without organs (bwo), and...

    Impaled Nazarene

    i have two friends who indulge in what one of them once described as ‘ultraharsh techniques of conversation’ or, as i refer to it, ‘ultraharshtronics’. when nihil came out, with its CoB–style extravagant leads thrown here and there (solos on an impnaz record???), my friends — cliff & anthony —...

    Who seriously can believe in bible?

    :lol: you have a fantastic way with words there! but yes, numerous studies i’ve read on this subject do agree that many gospels of jesus’s life existed, as did what theological historians name ‘jesus cults’. those 4 gospels we see in today’s new testament received...

    Who seriously can believe in bible?

    not always! perhaps when it comes to adam and eve and ‘original sin’ (which i see more as a christian than a jewish belief), but look in deuteronomy: illegitimate children ‘only’ inherit their ancestors’ sins up to the ١٠th generation! :p

    What is the purpose of literature?

    does it need to evolve or does it suffice for our perceptions to change? i think mainly here of religious tomes like the qur’an or tanach. people do not change these originals, but scholars publish fresh interpretations with each new generation. so understanding grows and changes though...
