Doom Metal Alchemist

I'm curious about the "Nelson Mandela died in prison" myth. The belief is so wide spread it MUST'VE been reported on a major news source SOMEWHERE, even if incredibly incorrectly.

I don't.... I ask because I saw this on facebook and would LOVE to use it in someone's birthday thread, but only if it's relevant to their interests:

If you think about it, there's probably a whole host of video game characters, cartoon characters, and celebrities people of whatever generation would more likely recognize than Shakespeare. For millennials, let's pick Mario. For boomers, Bugs Bunny or Mickey Mouse. Gen X maybe Bart Simpson.

I had no idea about that.... now you say "legend" does that mean it is just a fan theory or was that confirmed by a member of the band? I heard about the Paul is Dead thing a little bit on VH1 years ago. Something about the walrus is dead, something about Paul being a walrus, therefore Paul is dead, and people were freaking out about Paul being dead, and then in an interview Paul was like, "The reports of my death were greatly exaggerated." I heard about it in a little more detail than that but that's all I can recall off the top of my head.

I'm assuming you're referring to the song was actually In the Garden of Eden, and when one of the band members came in and asked Doug Ingle what he was working on, in his drunkenness he slurred his speech and it sounded like Inna gadda da vida, which said other band member thought sounded pretty cool so he wrote it down, and they decided to make it the title (and lyric).

Were they carried by the husk?

Borrowing melodies happens all the time. The metalness of the song is the main guitar riffs. It's like Iommi before Iommi.

You missed Born to be Wild. Personally I think the first ever heavy metal song was Inna Gadda Da Vida. It low key bugs me when people cite Summertime Blues, not just because it is not metal to me, but it's a fucking cover! Of a rock and roll song from the 50s! How can a fucking cover song from one genre be the first ever song of a different genre that it has nothing in common with????? Having said that Vincebus Eruptum is a pretty cool album.

Yeah but he was like 90 when he died, so back when he was alive he would've qualified in my eyes as "nursing home aged."

Honestly, I think all the musicians of all the oldest metal bands that ever existed aren't probably at nursing home age yet. Unless maybe if you count Christopher Lee. Which I don't.

YOU OPEN THE BOX. NO GRAPES, NO NUTS. WHAT'S THE DEAL? I KNOW.

That's phenomenal. Tries to go at it from a crazy angle, saw it wasn't working, then just reverted to the same ol' shit everyone does like the above never happened.

Oh, I'LL sponge your boobs alright.

Last night, on my way to work, being night and mid December, full blown dark of night.... on the freeway I saw a car ahead with their tail lights out. I saw another car maybe a week or two previous with their tail lights out, which at first I thought they didn't turn their headlights on, but as I passed them they had their headlights on so their tail lights were out.... so last night I assumed that's what happened with this car, headlights on, tail lights out.... nope. Drove past and their fucking headlights weren't even on. So they're either stupid enough to drive in the darkness of night forgetting to turn their headlights on, or they're stupid enough to drive in the darkness of night without working headlights OR working tail lights.

Kyle from South Park: "Cartman has 10 million dollars. I have a hemorrhoid. There is no god." I don't necessarily believe in a god myself, but I'm not sure why shitty things happening to good people and great things happening to shitty people somehow proves there is no god. Who says god is just and loving? The bible? How many countless religions has mankind had over the millennia? And the ONLY interpretation of God that COULD be correct is the Judeo-Christian one? If you suddenly stopped believing either/both of those religions because there is no (just and loving) god, why does that automatically negate any other views of god where god exists but he's just a total asshole?

I REALLY hope this is fake.... but that shit with that gamer girl's bath water.... why WOULDN'T this be real?

Earlier this month CN (or was it Comedy Central?) had a week of holiday movies or something, and A Christmas Story was one them, leading me to believe that TBS decided not to do their annual 24 hour A Christmas Story marathon this year. Must have started getting diminishing returns after all this time. I definitely got tired of it.

Ok, NOW you gotta post what was the worst.... or if it was on a different board, describe it.

Happy birthday!

*sees other thread* Have this too.
