I know most of you guys don't really like metal

[mindspell]

I love Helm.

 

[azal]

in a hairy man-love, traditionally Greek kind of way.

 

[xfer]

I didn't get it from wikipedia; I only used the Righteous Among The Nations awards as an example of top dawg Jew-lovers.

and I was wrong about metonymies?

 

[azal]

sam needs to be called in to give the final word on this.

 

[FalseTodd]

what the fuck do i know?

 

[Helm]

Sam, do you like greek people?

Alex: yeah you were totally wrong on how Metonymies was pronounced! Selective memory! Just like a teacher!

 

[xfer]

I was?

 

[FalseTodd]

I dunno, is goatschool greek? i like goatschool.

 

[Helm]

Yes, goatschool is greek.

Alex: dude don't make me go find the thread.

 

[Helm]

btw Azal of course I listened to the music but I thought I shouldn't give you thoughts since last time it ended with a near Serbia - Greece diplomatic incident, but I liked Through Escape lots, the clear vocals remind me of Demonic-era Testament (which is to say, good-era Testament) but man, some are out of tune! It's not a matter of taste, they're out of tune! Between notes! Microtonal! NOT ON A TEMPERED SCALE.

I thought Goatschool was Italian.

I only remember that thread vaguely, and I don't remember the part where I wrote the wrong pronunciation? I do know that when I saw the word written first a long time ago I didn't realise it was a pluralisation of "metonymy" at first, but that quickly corrected itself.

 

[Helm]

I'm kidding about goatschool being greek. I don't know where he's from.

The singular form is Metonymia.

 

[xfer]

yeah in GREEK.

Metonymy is an English word as well, and the official plural is "metonymies".

 

[Helm]

I was talking about the greek word. This was tied to talk of greeky matters and how it would not be the first time you're incorrect in relation to them. I now realize that if last time you were saying how Metonymies is pronounced in english, since as you say this borrowed word has found a home in your language, then I have nothing to add to that and you're probably correct. I was commenting on how it's prononuced in the original greek.

 

[xfer]

I totally Turked you.

 

[Helm]

You did what little man?

 

[azal]

helm I know about the vocals, they are all scratch tracks and are going to be recorded again next week. good ear though.


for a greek.

ps: I thought Demonic was the most boring Testament album ever.

the chorus reminds me of alice in chains.

 

[avi]

the first three songs on Demonic rule and then you might as well turn it off

 

[FalseTodd]

does anybody like The Gathering? The Testament album, not the band. I think it's pretty good.

 

[Helm]

if Demonic is a bit front-loaded, The Gathering redefines the term. Still, can't mess with the first few tracks, especially D.N.R.
