Was something about channelling another famous musician which Blitz did on Welcome to The Garden State.
Yeah I saw this last night. It terrified me. Sending all my positive vibes. And some prayer. The man personifies strength.

Ok this isn't metal at all, in fact it was mostly wood) but it's kind of a reborn classic that blew me away.
It's school holidays here so we took the kids to a gallery exhibit based on Da Vinici and the many things he drew 500+ years ago. I believe this thing has been touring the world for years and it's basically an exhibit where they took maybe a 100 or so of Da Vinci's drawings and made actual models of them. Most people know Da Vinci did the first drawings of things like parachutes and helicopters long before they could ever have been invented but geez the guy did so much more. It was truly an eye opening experience!
From wooden bicycles (which look as uncomfortable as hell) to his designs with pulleys to allow a small person to lift a large weight, to drawing what would eventually become the differential which all cars would rely on 400 years later, even to an automated drumming machine (yes he invented robot drummers!!!), it was amazing what this guy drew and designed. His sketches influenced today's designs in just about every industry we have. It's amazing to think that 1 guy knew so much about this stuff 500 years ago and imagine just how different the world would be if he could have actually made even half of the things he designed.
The sarcastic bastard in me loves the fact that he was commissioned to design a heap of military weapons and tools. His basic design for flying projectiles is pretty much the same design bullets today use and he designed multiple different ways to defend high walls of castles and towns etc. But he also designed multiple war ships and even this massive bloody tank thing that could fire in multiple directions at once. But the kicker was that his designs had deliberate flaws in them so that if anyone actually built them they wouldn't work. It's like he was giving them the middle finger by saying, "Sure you can have this weapon that can kill hundreds of people. But I'm not going to tell you how it works!"

Man that's freakin awesome! I have a friend that want's to go and it sounded cool. but you make it sound great lol. I've watched a bunch of docs on him and even they didn't tell me this much.
Shit did they change something? I can't look without an account now.

If you get a chance to go and see it I highly recommend it. I wasn't overly fussed about seeing it before I went, figured it was more for the kids (and to shut my dad up
) but I was surprised just how much I got out of it.

I don't think anything has changed. Try this.
Edit: Oh it looks like HM Universe has copyrighted it for some reason.
Yeah I would. Sounds cool.If you get a chance to go and see it I highly recommend it. I wasn't overly fussed about seeing it before I went, figured it was more for the kids (and to shut my dad up
You know, I can't even watch Zetro's AC/DC stuff on his own channel. It's blocked in this country somehow!

I found that link on YT itself and just cut and pasted it. The video is direct from Zetro's channel.
The Testament video above is Ride The Snake from the Dark Roots Of Thrash tour in 2013. It seems to be pro shot whereas the ones I can find on YT are fan shot. Not sure why it's copyrighted to FB play only, I very much doubt HM Universe actually own any copyrighted video.
