  1. Are kidding me? Ugh :yuckky: I hate this kid.
  2. Why don't they want them seen on the site?
  3. I found this on the RateYourMusic forum. Investigating the 'death metal' murders These are the comments I left in the original thread they made there: Yes, secret messages about Bon Scott drinking too much. It seems to me that it has everything to do with a person's emotional maturity. If you like the extreme metal sound, more power to you, but when music starts to influence your philosophies, you're losing control. I'm really intrigued by people like Maynard James Keenan, but I don't follow him and his religious views blindly. I think some people just don't have discretion or caution. My biggest problem with articles like this is, they plant ideas in the heads of parents that all metal is Satanic. The article utterly fails to make it clear that the bands mentioned in the article are only the very most extreme bands. "No one can contradict me when I say that heavy metal and satanism are closely linked. They're inseparable." (Michele Tollis quote) "Heavy metal" is a very broad, generic term. If he's discussing black metal, yes, he's probably right; from what I know, it often has some kind of religious agenda. But just using the term "Heavy metal," when the term is often applied to bands as light Led Zeppelin, is very narrow-minded. Michele Tollis probably understands the difference between the metal his son was into and the more mainstream metal acts like Metallica or Black Sabbath, but the average parent most likely doesn't. The BBC has a responsibility to explain it, and bias or no, they failed. Articles like this are a part of the cause for a much wider controversy. They make people (parents, more specifically) judge musical artists based on the genre the band is identified as being a part of, or the name of the band and the songs, and what they hear from other uninformed people, as opposed to actually learning something about the band, their lyrics, and their musical style. People are just too lazy to actually give metal a chance, and brand it "evil." The whole "Suicide Solution" thing with Ozzy is a great example. The parent, say my mom, for instance, hears the "details" of the case, that the song caused a kid to commit suicide. Why is it so hard to believe? The song has the word "Suicide" in it. Oh gosh!! It must be TEH EVIL!! No, if you actually bother to look into the details, listen to the song, read the lyrics, read Ozzy's statements about the song, and actually bother to learn something about Ozzy himself, it becomes clear that the song's meaning is far less sinister than the "concerned parents" seem to think.

    The Song Remains The Same ~ Led Zeppelin Live At Budokan ~ Dream Theater Live In Denver ~ G3 2003/Joe Satriani/Steve Vai/Yngwie Malmsteen Led Zeppelin ~ Led Zeppelin I want all of the Pink Floyd DVD's, Judas Priest's new Rising In The East DVD, Metallica's Live Shit: Binge & Purge six disc set (3 CDs, 3 DVDs), the G3 1996/Satriani/Vai/Johnson DVD, and the new G3 2005/Satriani/Vai/Petrucci DVD. I guess I need a job to pay for all these...
  5. Go looking through the thread. It's posted somewhere. I think the first page has several pics from it. They might all be posted, I'm not sure. You'll have to go through the entire thread.

    She's pretty ... I'm sick of Harry Potter though.
  7. Audrey Hepburn ... probably the only "Classic Hollywood" actress I really find beautiful.
  8. That's hard. I haven't heard all their albums anyway. But out of the material that I have, the one that sticks out for me is "Honor Thy Father," one of Mike Portnoy compositions on Train Of Thought. The instrumentals are awesome, seriously, it's one of their heaviest songs, it has some memorable riffs and amazing drumming, but the vocals don't fit with DT's style at all; LaBrie raps through most of the song. I'm guessing it was Portnoy's idea, as he's the only member of the band that likes rap, that I know of. Bad idea, Mikey.
  9. I can't imagine Ozzy's Live At Budokan being any good. Sure, Zakk Wylde and the others are awesome, but Ozzy is completely incoherent. I watched him sing with both his solo band and Black Sabbath last night on the UK Music Hall of Fame introduction ceremony on VH1, and he sounded terrible.

    Nice! Thanks supermodelKK. Those are great quality.
  11. Monkey replied to Alibaba126's topic in Music
    So... does anyone know if Metallica are still worth seeing? I've heard that Robert Trujillo prefers playing songs from the first four. Can anyone verify this? I'm not really that enthusiastic about going to see them if I have to sit through too much "St. Anger" shit, but if they play mostly old stuff, I bet it would be pretty good.

    You try having two kids and then lets see how your body looks. Having bigger hips is not a bad thing . She is still beautiful and itspure ignorance to expect anyone to be a size 0 after they have 2 kids unless they have plastic surgery.There is nothing wrong with her body. Normally I wouldn't pay attention to shit like this, but I'm bored. Let's take a look at what I originally said, shall we? Would you like it any clearer than that? I can underline it if you're still not seeing it. I never said I thought she should be skinnier, or that she should have narrower hips, did I? I still think she's hot. Duh. No shit. Seriously. Unbelievable. Thanks. (Y)

    StarGate: SG-1 No doubt about it, for me. I need to buy those DVDs.

    Indeed she is. I recognize this, even though I'm not really a big fan. Sometimes I do visit her thread, though.

    Strapping Young Lad ~ "Love?" Holy shit this is heavy stuff. I'm actually really liking it, though.

    Rocio and co.
  20. Up to 3 MB, cable broadband.
  21. I don't think it's weird to think you're cousin's hot... I never met one of my female cousins till I was about 14, and I still never see her more than once a year. Yeah, she looks hot in a bikini. If someone's thoughts go beyond that, yeah, it's pretty weird, I agree.
  22. I think mine is hovering around 800MB, not sure exactly though.
  23. I didn't see this posted.
  24. What calendar? SI? Her own solo one?
  25. 24
