Question for warrel

I watched "AI" last night, and was pretty impressed. There were a few things that I didn´t like about the movie but which doesn´t have anything to do with the actual topic of it at all.
I´m gonna watch it again tonight and I´ve already ordered "Future Shock" and another book from A. Toffler, of which I only know the title in German, which would be something like "Time -table to the third millenium".
Might that be "The Third Wave"??
Yeah, I have read The Third Wave, which continues some of his ideas from futureshock.
On the Cover it says something like "What we know today about the life of tomorrow".

Damn, Nevermore is again and again a great source for inspiration and intellectual challenges. Amazing.

Talking about books. I guess everyone´s read "1984"? I really love that one. It has nothing to do with the machines gaining consciousness in the future, we were talking about, but it does reflect another pretty alarming aspect of the future that could be real one day.
Sometimes it feels to me we´re on our best way to a "Big brother"-world. Some aspects of the story reminded me a lot of the so-called "Stasi", a controlling organization in the former GDR where I used to live before Germany was united. The similarities are frightening.

Just be careful not to get sucked into Toffler - futureshock has some awesome ideas, but alot of his later works are heavily rooted in conjecture. I'd recommend buying The Politics of Ectasy by Timothy Leary if you haven't already, if your interested in reading more books that have inspired nevermore.

I was probably gonna tell you to listen to Sad Wings of Destiny and let you decide if he'd listened to that record during his formative years, I know I did...

I'll take that tip as an order.
Minor thingy is, that i like JP but hardly can get into Queensryche... up till now? The only Queensryche album that i bought is Operation Mindcrime.
The JP-collection in this house is still in progress, some vinyl i stìll have to listen to and i don't have Sad Wings of Destiny, yet.
I just found out it's from 1976, nice start! :hypno:
Overall, i like most stuff that comes from the 70's and early 80's and there's much to listen too... pff!
Hmm, i found some JP and Queensryche on vinyl.
Ram it Down, Defenders of the Faith and The Warning.
I'll try to catch some insight on those first, who knows...

SWOD, was definitely an influence on tate. If you listen to rage for order there are ALOT of Halford like things he does. Warrel used alot of Halford-esq things in the sanctuary days too. No im not talking about just the high pitched stuff.

I think most vocalists that have Halford as an influence sound a lillte similar, and i mean a little.

But look at this this way. Tate cant sing no more .... LOL

Warrel can !!!!!!!!!

Whos the true defender of the faith of the Original Metal god ?

Warell Mutha Fukn Dane Thats Who !!!!

What inspired The Learning

and was Sentient 6 inspired by I-Robot.

Every time i hear them i cant help but think T-2 and i-Robot were inspirations for the particular time of each song.

i keep thinking that Sentient 6 is the Rennisance from the Matrix...if you have seen the Animatrix, and how the machines took over the humans..you would know, The Final Renisansce of the rebelian of the machines on the humans...
 
Dude seriously go rent A.I. and you will see everything WD talks about .... believe me watching that movie is like an epiphony.

Fucking amazing how WD can really make you SEE his words.

This is anot an ass kissin thing, but IMHO I have always though WD was aamazing, next to HIS influence Halford hes my Fave vocalist of all time.
