Just a thought

[Wrathchild]

Those of you who own Dehumanizer by Black Sabbath should all go and have a listen to track 1, Computer God.

(Waits six minutes and ten seconds)

Now, read the lyrics and tell me they're not exactly the same as some of the ideas in The Matrix. Hmm? I think an explanation from the brothers Wachowski is called for...

I love that song!

Those Wachowskis ripped off everyone. Grant Morrison, Ghost In The Shell, Asian cinema kung fu movies... If they had an original idea it would be lonely.

I've still got to read The Invisibles one of these days.

Actually the concept behind the Matrix isn't that original. It's merely a variation of stories like 'We Can Remember it For You Wholesale', 'I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream' and similar bleak visions of the near future. But I see your point.

 

[Spiff]

All cool modern sci-fi can be traced back to Philip K. Dick. I really must read some of his stuff one day!

 

[Sydo]

Love that song. !

Futureal?

 

[Blitzkrieg]

Dehumanizer is a good album. I listened to it yesterday actually.

'Buried Alive' is one awesome song! Very underated.

'I' is my favorite song on Dehuminizer

Alort of balls and chunk on that album
