A dude owns 1 or 2 Petra tapes and suddenly he has "zero" musical history knowledge? So basically all my Sabbath, Van Halen, Led Zeppelin, etc albums mean nothing?markgugs said:
Dude, come on. It's FUNNY to keep bringing this up! Well, I'M laughing at least. All kidding aside, I've never ever ever heard/read you speak about the mighty Zeppelin (or Sabbath or Van Halen either). Not saying you haven't...just that I haven't seen it.Dreamlord said:

Van Halen's 1984 was my first musical purchase ever! I bet I still have that cassette somewhere. Zep was never a favorite of mine, but I enjoyed a few songs like Black Dog, Misty Mountain Hop...
I've always loved Sabbath, well the first 6 albums anyway, which is really all that matters.
Hell, I even like some Queen, which is what The Darkness reminded me of except they somehow managed to grab every possible annoying weakness from Queen and increase those annoyances exponentially to create one horrible song.
And tons of metalheads own Extol, Zao, Lengsel, and no one has a problem with it. And that hopesfall album you own, Christian hardcore, my man.

Ok, a couple points.
I don't care about the Christian angle, since I don't care about religion. I listened to Stryper. And that .hopesfall. album still kicks my ass. None of that matters.
I was more talking about how you panned the Darkness when all they really are trying to do is bring back that oh-so-simple style of 3-chords, higher-than-normal vocals (not necessary whiny or falsetto) and big ol' in your face rock and roll of the 1970s. It's the style that launched the careers of KISS, AC/DC, and countless other bands, and it's a style I basically grew up on the tail end of so always holds a nice place inside my cold dead heart. Capece?
Besides, REALLY all I was getting at was a nice opportunity to poke fun of Petra.

The Darkness can try to bring back a dead sound, but don't tell me that was a good song. I'll take Petra over that crap any day.
Plus the lasers and giant space squid were an added bonus.

So we're right back to the ZERO musical history to draw upon, are we?
Might as well admit now that it was post-2000 that you purchased the Sabbath albums and assimilated some cool kid's youth.

No, I quite literally meant annus 2K. Though post 2000 was probably sometime in 2002, which is I'm guessing closer to realistic.

I use "bollocks," "cunt," "sod off," "wanker," "fancy," "fag" amongst others. I'm as British as I'm ever going to get.

Bollocks is a good one, I don't say that one nearly enough.
I'll tell you what about them Bri'ish, nobody but NOBODY can insult someone like a Brit. They'll use all these coloUrful words that make you laugh, distracting you from the fact that they basically just told you they arse-raped your mum while you were too busy playing stationary leapfrog with your sister. And it'll take us average Americans 30 minutes to translate!

Bah. Give me a good "fuck off asshole" anyday. None of this pull-out-the-dictionary-to-understand-insult nonsense.
