Very bluegrass. Bossa Nova!!! But the clay drum was definitely my favorite. That shit was tight. » Posted By ADONAI On April 23, 2011 @ 3:03 pm REALLY?! No one has posted this? Phil Collins – In the Air Tonight https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YkADj0TPrJA It’s gotta have the most famous drum fill in music history. A song written specifically for the drums. » Posted By ADONAI On April 23, 2011 @ 2:53 pm Khirad, He’s a great drummer. I think his best stuff with Korn is on the Life is Peachy album. Some weird experimental stuff on that album and they all pull it off brilliantly. » Posted By ADONAI On April 23, 2011 @ 2:48 pm O.K., one more then I’m taking a break to listen for a while. Korn – Throw Me Away(Live) feat. Japanese taiko drum ensemble. Again,all kinds of awesome here. The taiko drum is a beautiful instrument
» Posted By ADONAI On April 23, 2011 @ 1:22 pm Meytal Cohen on drums. Jennifer Lynn and Christine Wu on electric violins. Covering Toxicity by System of a Down(instrumental) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WMKmQmkJ9gg There are so many layers of awesome here that it’s almost overwhelming. » Posted By ADONAI On April 23, 2011 @ 1:08 pm I don’t like Rush. At all. In fact, I hate them. BUT, Neil Peart is the best drummer I’ve ever heard. And I cannot deny that “prog-rock” drumming, Peart in particular, is the foundation of the drumming I hear in the heavy metal music of today. So, long live Pert. Rush – Anthem
» Posted By ADONAI On April 23, 2011 @ 11:53 am Great choice HH. And I’m not just saying that because I’m a huge TOOL fan. I love the unique rhythm they have as far as the drum beat and guitar. » Posted By ADONAI On April 23, 2011 @ 11:46 am Touche e’cat. Touche 😉 » Posted By ADONAI On April 23, 2011 @ 11:45 am I’m not saying it doesn’t have a beat. Just that it’s annoying. 🙂 » Posted By ADONAI On April 23, 2011 @ 11:32 am I do love drumming My favorite drummer right now is Joey Jordison of Slipknot. This song is a pretty good showcase of his skills: Slipknot – The Blister Exists » Posted By ADONAI On April 23, 2011 @ 11:27 am If not for Cats, Stomp would be the worst thing to ever come out of Broadway. “What are yo listening to?” “LOUD NOISES!” » Posted By ADONAI On April 23, 2011 @ 11:12 am A Letter to the Arizona Legislature » Posted By ADONAI On April 18, 2011 @ 9:00 pm I dunno. I’m still not convinced. Never did trust those socialists in Hawaii. Never mind the fact that his mother is a U.S. citizen and that automatically qualifies him under several provisions of the 14th amendment and Hawaii state law, or that you only have to be born in America to be a citizen, not live here for a certain number of years after birth, or that the U.S. government has graciously vindicated him on 4 separate occasions, ’cause none of that matters. His dad, who he had 5 minutes of contact with his entire life, is Kenyan. There’s gotta be something shady behind that. » Posted By ADONAI On April 18, 2011 @ 5:39 pm Weekend Music Thread – The Poetry of Music Tenacious D – The Government Totally Sucks The government totally sucks Ben Franklin was a rebel indeed Now let me tell you something about the government (uh huh) Cos the land of love and freedom, The USAAAAAA YEAAHHH Government totally sucks!

But then you start realizing how insignificant we are. A song that makes you think. » Posted By ADONAI On April 16, 2011 @ 5:12 pm Lamb of GOD – Reclamation(a song that REALLY speaks to me.I sing along every time) Humanity’s a failed experiment Humanitiy’s a failed experiment The earth will shake and the waters will rise The skyline is set ablaze, with regret Blindly consuming mass manufactured faith Blindly consuming mass manufactured faith The elements reclaim what was taken The skyline is set ablaze Only after the last tree’s cut When everything becomes irrelevant The city burns tonight
» Posted By ADONAI On April 16, 2011 @ 1:09 pm Bernard von NotHaus is my new hero. And a machine that turns fuel exhaust into water? Quite possibly the coolest thing I’ve heard in years. » Posted By ADONAI On April 15, 2011 @ 1:15 pm Khirad, Thank you! I hoped that I had hit on the more important things, even if I did leave some stuff out, and to have another fan of theology give me the thumbs up is very cool. And thank you for that link to the Viraf article. I had not heard of this. I had always wondered where Dante got his ideas. As brilliant with words and imagination as he was, he had to have had some help from someone or something. As usual I always look forward to your comments and thank yo for another stellar one that has added more to the piece. » Posted By ADONAI On April 18, 2011 @ 2:24 pm wts, You can’t really say he was racist because of his early cartoons since most of them played on racial stereotypes but, From Wikipedia: Disney was long rumored to be anti-Semitic during his lifetime, and such rumors have persisted after his death. Disney’s 2006 biographer Neal Gabler, the first writer to gain unrestricted access to the Disney archives, concluded that available evidence does not support such accusations. “That’s one of the questions everybody asks me,” Gabler said in a CBS interview. “My answer to that is, not in the conventional sense that we think of someone as being an anti-Semite. But he got the reputation because, in the 1940s, he got himself allied with a group called the Motion Picture Alliance for the Preservation of American Ideals, which was an anti-Communist and anti-Semitic organization. And though Walt himself, in my estimation, was not anti-Semitic, nevertheless, he willingly allied himself with people who were anti-Semitic, and that reputation stuck. He was never really able to expunge it throughout his life.”[92] Disney ultimately distanced himself from the Motion Picture Alliance in the 1950s.[93] » Posted By ADONAI On April 17, 2011 @ 5:50 pm wts, yeah he probably wasn’t anti-Semitic but he kept plenty of company that was. » Posted By ADONAI On April 17, 2011 @ 5:25 pm I think Walt would also be incredibly angry about the amount of Jews working for his company. » Posted By ADONAI On April 17, 2011 @ 4:55 pm KT, Does GOD really need the devil? Maybe. You are more right than you know about GOD needing someone to do his “dirty work”. In Samuel, Book 2, GOD has an angel visit destruction on Jerusalem, then orders him to stop when he feels they have had enough. And as far as good and evil, they didn’t apply to GOD. At least not in the early days. He was above such simple human notions. Who are we to try and understand anything he does? It would be like a bacteria suddenly becoming aware of the larger world. It would be beyond it’s grasp entirely and every notion it had ever lived by would be meaningless. And religion existed for many many centuries without a heaven or a hell. They are both relatively new concepts. Not til the Middle Ages did true debates about a permanent Heaven and Hell begin. And it was never really fully excepted til sometime after the Renaissance. Even the Ancient Greeks didn’t view “the Fields of Elysium as a place of permanent existence. Just as early Christians didn’t picture a permanent after life. Today we may see the lack of Heaven and Hell as a detriment to religion but, back then, they did not really need it. » Posted By ADONAI On April 17, 2011 @ 4:02 pm Khirad – music or pictures, as long as it goes with the subject in some way, I welcome it all. » Posted By ADONAI On April 17, 2011 @ 3:52 pm HH, I would have to say that my favorite’s are Al Pacino in Devil’s Advocate and also DeNiro in Angel Heart. It’s good examples of the Devil’s dual nature but single purpose. he can be very jovial and tempting as portrayed by Pacino and also very brooding and sinister as done by DeNiro. But, as always, a single purpose, to corrupt man. » Posted By ADONAI On April 17, 2011 @ 1:36 pm Legend. Such a great movie. Definitely in my top 5 favorites of all time. Ridley Scott directed, and I very much recommend the director’s cut. the music is different and a few other things but I think it makes it a better movie. And like HH, the first time I saw Darkness(the devil figure in the picture), I had a total freak out. I think I was 9 maybe 10 years old. Scared the shit out of me. » Posted By ADONAI On April 17, 2011 @ 1:12 pm fox, Thanks! And you hit on another very good point. Before the Torah and the other books of the Hebrew bible were written, Jews were very much a polytheistic people. Just like the Greeks and Egyptians they came in constant contact with. When the “cult of El”, the one true GOD, won sway in the Jewish community, many of them just accepted that one GOD controlled all consequence in the world. But, of course,later generations started having a problem with worshiping an asshole. » Posted By ADONAI On April 17, 2011 @ 1:04 pm jkk, Feel free to continue blaming the Devil. He does LOVE the advertisement! 🙂 » Posted By ADONAI On April 17, 2011 @ 12:38 pm wts, Perfect. For me and many of my friends, that figure in Fantasia was what we pictured when we thought of the Devil and Hell as kids. But, in later times, this guy took over: [img]http://26.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lasmoi3Kye1qze4yco1_400.jpg[/img] To me, it was Tim Curry’s best role. Forget Dr. Frank -n-furter. » Posted By ADONAI On April 17, 2011 @ 12:37 pm AdLib, the story of Job has always been confusing for me too. It seems like GOD always knew that Job would remain faithful, but why does he feel the need to prove this to a random member of the holy court? HIS holy court no less! It’s a story that made sense to readers of the time, but modern readers seem to find it a tad bit cruel. It portrays GOD as being evil. But that was actually a competing theory with some medieval Christian sects. GOD is the devil. They are not two separate beings. If you look at how GOD behaves in the Old Testament, a seemingly vengeful spirit who passes out capricious judgment and punishment to people. And you hit on a very real thing with the “locations of Hell”. There are many places in the world that were, at some point, considered a mouth to Hell. A cave in Greece that ancient Greeks thought led to Hades. A giant “trash dump” behind ancient Rome that constantly burned was a very real image of Hell for many Christians. More than a few early Christians feared entering the deep places of the Earth. But when Christians thought of the “end of the world” they never envisioned the physical destruction of the world. Only every living thing on it. But now a days most Christians tend to view Heaven and Hell as almost separate dimensions. And why not? With everything we have learned about the insane nature of the universe, why shouldn’t there be beings from another dimension watching the whole thing? 🙂 » Posted By ADONAI On April 17, 2011 @ 12:33 pm fox, I tend to shy away from including a lot of opinion in pieces like this but I have no problem throwing it out in the comments section. When you think about the Devil, you have to ask yourself one question: “How?” Specifically, how can an omnipotent, omniscient GOD have a rival? How can any other figure have any affect on the world unless it is allowed by GOD? That would put a wet towel on the whole “omnipotent” thing or, at the very least, make GOD seem fallible o inadequate. Another no-no. There could be no Hell unless GOD allows it. There can be no punishment for souls unless GOD allows it. But people in ancient times faced a problem when discussing GOD. How could this loving father be so cruel and capricious? I believe they elevated Satan’s role in the world so they wouldn’t have to question their faith in a GOD that hands out random punishment to people who never seem to deserve it, while truly evil men live long happy lives. But that led to any number of philosophical arguments that have lasted well into modern times. As a Deist, I could possibly believe in a Devil, but like many modern Christians, I feel he has no physical affect on the world. Just like GOD. A supernatural, or possibly extra-dimensional, figure that exists beyond anything we understand. » Posted By ADONAI On April 17, 2011 @ 12:22 pmComments Posted By ADONAI
You motherfucker
The government totally sucks
He liked to get naked while he smoked on the weed
He was a genius but if he was here today
The government would fuck him up his righteous aayyy
They’re fucking up the environment (say what?)
They’re taking all the fucking beautiful animals (yeah?)
And making them fucking extinct (oh no!)
The government totally sucks
You motherfucker
The government totally sucks
The government totally sucks
Is just a baby’s breath away
And if we hold hands together
We can bring back the USA
Bring back the USAAAA YEAAHH
The fucking USAAAA YEAHHHH
Bring back the US….
walking the path to extinction
spinning its wheels endlessly
grease them with oil and uranium
walking the path to extinction
the elements reclaim what was taken
what was taken
ashes cover a falling, silhouette
The city will reap what it’s sewn
and ignite
watching as your city burns
(tonight)
mankind is a festering parasite
mankind is a festering parasite
relentlessly draining its host dry
nailing belief to a cross of genocide
what was taken
with regret
ashes cover a falling
silhouette
The city will reap what its sewn
and ignite
watching as the city burns
Tonight
and the last river poisoned
only after the last fish is caught
will you find that money cannot be eaten
When the sky tears open
fire rains down, fire rains down
the 4th world comes to an end
push the button, light the match
feel the fault lines detach
crosshairs in the evening light
I sit and watch the city burn
Tonight
I must have watched that a thousand times.
