Peart- was innovative for his time but got passed up a long time ago (sorry rush fans)

many of the old gods of rock are being hung out to dry!!!!

who can deny such talent in our younger (soon to be) gods.


if it weren't for slash....axel would be a stain ....JMO

[The Black Knight]

you must be way younger than me....think i was 25 or so when i first heard them.

progressive rock(metal) has a tendency of kicking you in the balls.

i do have a few fave bands that i prefer,but most of it is goth type stuff.
my taste in music varies from day to day and i must admit that i have been guilty of listening to too much radio play.
wish there was station that actuallys had the cajones to play what was requested from all people....including all genres of music.


LONG LIVE "TYPE O NEGATIVE"

yeah I'm 28 now. Got into guitar playing when I was 15. Been doing it ever since and I absolutely love many kinds of music. The older I get the more I tend to like to compose flamenco or latin type music now. I've got alot of my metal days out of me. Doesn't mean I don't listen to it still. I listen to metal all the time, however playing it has lost some of it's steam for me.

BACK ON TOPIC!!!

BTW BK.
have you ever heard of Fates Warning???

and you have to give a hand to scott rockenfield as a great drummer as well.
just another band that doesn't get enough airplay.

i could go on with some awesome stuff,but it never seems to get much attention here!!!

oh well.

no bounce,no play

Oh yeah man, Fates Warning rocks! same with Queensryche. There are alot of prog bands out there that are great. Symphony X anyone?? Stratovarius(sort of prog, more power metal than prog though) and Shadow Gallery. The kings of odd time and songs you can't stand to listen to - Spiral Architect

Hey daemon, if you like goth and prog, check out Opeth. Norweigan Black Metal at it's finest!!!!!

How is Opeth Norwegian Black Metal?? Nothing of Opeth's sounds like Black Metal, might get away with calling them Death metal.

When I think of Black Metal, Dimmu Borgir, Emperor, Cradle of Filth(barely), Dissection or really crappy bands like Gorgoroth, Mayhem, Dark Funeral. Really any black metal band is for the most part crappy. You've got a few standout's but as a whole Black Metal has terrible musicians.

[daemon]

what stands out more for me is a bands ability to take nonsensical or akward messages and put them to LYRICS...

beware.....
some of these may be offending to viewers...
let it be known that first and foremost i AM A TYPE O FAN!!!!

i'm gonna get in trouble fro this!!!

who can deny type o lyrics as innovative and compelling???

. Unsuccessfully Coping With The Natural Beauty Of Infidelity

[a. Anorganic Transmutogenesis (synthetic division)]

Trust and you'll be trusted
Says the liar to the fool
Lust and so what if you're busted?
In love and war there ain't no rules

Do you believe in forever?
I don't even believe in tomorrow
The only things that last forever
Are memories and sorrow

Out of sight out of mind
The motto of betrayal
The prophets preach to forgive and forget
I'm sorry, but I am unable

[b. coitus interruptus]

[c. I Know You're Fucking Someone Else]

You went to L'amour Saturday night
Red nails and lipstick dressed two sizes two tight
His tongue down your throat
His hand up your skirt
Yeah I'm a man
But it still hurts

Slut
Whore
Cunt

I know you're fucking someone else
(He knows you're fucking someone else)
I know you're fucking someone else
(He knows you're fucking someone else)

You had cock on your mind
And cum on your breath
Inserted that diaphragm before you left
Practicing freelance gynecology
Where there's a womb there's a way
With you it's for free

Slut
Whore
Cunt

I know you're fucking someone else
(He knows you're fucking someone else)
I know you're fucking someone else
(He knows you're fucking someone else)

Done it before
Time after time
Refused to learn your lesson
Gave 'til it hurt
Thought it was right
Only fools make mistakes twice

So you sit home
Drinking alone
Empty bottle in your hand
Don't even try
To sort out the lies
It's worse to try to understand

You
You make me hate myself

I know you're fucking someone else
(He knows you're fucking someone else)
I know you're fucking someone else
(He knows you're fucking someone else)
I know you're fucking someone else
(He knows you're fucking someone else)
I know you're fucking someone else
(He knows you're fucking someone else)

I know
(He knows)
I said I know
(He said he knows)

I know
(He knows)


7. My Girlfriend's Girlfriend

Say "ah"
Say "ah".

It's no secret we're close
As sweaty velcro,
Like latex, fur and feathers
Stuck together
Now.

In their '62 'vette
Sharing one cigarette,
In a black light trance then
Go go dance
Then.

Go go trance
Then.

They keep me warm on cold nights
We must be quite a sight,
In our meat triangle
All tangled.

Wow.

My girlfriend's girlfriend
She looks like you,
My girlfriend's girlfriend
She's my girl too.

Her and me an her and she and me
An uncrowded couple
are we three?

Hey we don't care what people say,
When walking hand in hand down Kings Highway
Two for one today.

My girlfriend's girlfriend
She looks like you
My girlfriend's girlfriend
She's my girl too

My girlfriend's girlfriend
She looks like you
My girlfriend's girlfriend
She's my girl...


<A name=8>8. Die With Me

Now like a bird
she flew away,
to chase her dreams
of books and praise.

still I miss her
yeah I miss her
since she's gone.

at JFK
who played the fool?
self-pity sick
jet fuel perfume.

still I miss her
yeah I miss her
since she's gone.

girl I want to die with you,
in each others arms
we'll drown in flame.

if this time were the last time,
could I hold you
hold you
hold you
all life long?

since this time is the last time,
can I hold you
hold you
hold you
all night long?

[x2]
lay your head down for the last time,
the last time,
for the last time,
the last time,

hey KLM
AT&T
the UK post system
do you still love me?

still I miss her
yeah I miss her
since she's gone.

Girl I
Want to
Die with you,
In each
Others arms
We'll drown in flame.

. I Like Goils

Forget the jar of Vaseline
Hey rich-bitch boy
I'm not gonna be your queen

And yeah,
You can drool, beg me and hope
There's no damn way
I'm playing drop the soap
OK,

I know I'm strange but I ain't no queer
So take your rage and disappear
But I'm proud not to be PC
'Cause -

I like goils
Bad goils all over this world

Now I don't know whose ass you've licked
No shit-tongued boy will ever taste my dick
He says:
"How 'bout no sex - we'll just be friends?"
Hey no thanks Pal, I'll stick to lesbians
You're right
A sexist pig, I guess it's true
(I hate all men including you)
I don't care what you think of me
'Cause -

I like goils
Bad goils all over this world

I'm quite flattered that you think I'm cute
But I don't deal well with compacted poop
So look,
If my views make you annoyed
You're just jealous I don't have hemorrhoids
So now,
To make it clear that you can't bone me
My tattooed ass reads "exit only"
I don't care much for sodomy
'Cause -

I like goils
Bad goils all over this world


6. ...A Dish Better Served Coldly

What makes you think that you have won
When the battle has only just begun?
Let the punishment fit the crime
Bad things come to those in all good time

My mistake was to put you first
Deceitful bubble was so soon to burst
I asked you - believe in just us
Now my faith lie in mine own justice

How many times must I say I'm not sorry?
And how many ways can I show I don't care?

Rotting bodies of enemies
Cannot smell sweet enough to me
What is the price of a friend
Who would carry out revenge?

In this bleak world of absent laws
One in which the just are whores
An honor to die for the truth
Eye for an eye, tooth for tooth

How many times must I say I'm not sorry?
And how many ways can I show I don't care?
