1752: That Metal Show

[littlp]

Loved Jim and hope to hear him on the show again.

I once had a Dell technician try to tell me to take a screwdriver to remove my keyboard from my brand new laptop to check a wire. I asked "if I screw this up does it invalidate my warranty??" She REFUSED to answer the question so I of course refused to comply. They ended up sending out a technician. Ridiculous.

There were many other things i wanted to say, but they're all gone.....

[Scumhook]

Oh fucking taht's right

now i remember

most of the fucking "metal" bnads mentioned were poofter hair rock bands like Warrant or Poison or KISS.

fuck that shit. that's gay hair rock (i.e. Chemda's point about the wankers being worried about their fucking make up) not metal.

fuck everyone who classes that shit as metal. that's fuckign blasphemy.

[Keith]

Right! You know what real non-gay metal is!

Judas Priest! Tight leathers! Now THAT'S deliverin' the goods!

Just so everybody knows what this guy's afraid of, here are some King Diamond lyrics:

Christmas time is here again
Santa needs a helping hand
He cannot find a single sheep
To draw his sleigh across the night
So all the waiting Christmas trees
Gonna hear the master say

There's no presents, not this Christmas
There's no presents
Tom and Jerry, drinking sherry
They don't give a damn

Christmas time is here again
Santa needs a helping hand
It's getting very, very late
St. Peter's crossed the golden gate
An Donald Duck is still in bed
I wonder who he's gonna help

Upon a cross a nun will be hanged, she will be raped by an evil man
Knock spikes through her hands, things won't come she won't understand
You're a nun you haven't had no fun, living your life as virgin queen
I'm gonna change it and I'll get it done, tomorrow you won't be a virgin
queen

C. U. N. T. that's what you are, you're C. U. N. T. yeah

I get it up, I get it up in the dark, I make her feel I'm not a holy man
Faster breathing, she's like a shark, she wants more
I'm gonna give her my cross

Nuns have no fun, They just have their fathers and sons
But I'll give them hell, I never fail
Nuns have no fun, They just have their fathers and sons
But I'll give them hell, I never fail

I get it up, I get it up in the dark, I make her feel I'm not a holy man
Faster breathing, she's like a shark, she wants more
I'm gonna give her my cross

C. U. N. T. that's what you are, you're C. U. N. T. yeah.

Almost every metal artist says that the Satanism stuff is about anti-Christianism and freedom of thought rather than any actual deity, or is a stage show.

Metal has reverence for independence, free thought, comradery, and our shared past, which is just about entirely at odds with Christianity. Hence the Satanism.

Bob, i forced myself to not answer the dude, but, sincerely, thank you for doing that. sometimes i dont have the strength to put idiots in their place as you do.

[BrianAlt]

Why are we entertaining him?

[Keith]

Because he's fascinating.

Well, not to quibble, but King Diamond is an avowed member of the Church of Satan. Some folks call it LaVeyan Satanism, those people are, I suppose, trying to be nice. But we can just call it Satanism.

"That Satanism stuff" in the case of Kind Diamond is pretty close to how you describe it, but slightly more nuanced. Satanist don't believe in an actual devil with horns and a tail either. Only Christians believe that, don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

Metal's co-opting of Satanism and satanic imagery is understandable because it's fucking awesome. But really, most Metal- especially the kind that Keith listens to, isn't borrowing from Satanism or the Occult in any way. Norwegian Black Metal certainly is. Poison, not so much.

That deluded Christian fellow has nothing to worry about, really. He doesn't want Satan and Satan doesn't want him. Neither does Metal unless we're talking about Stryper. And let's not do that.

he rejected the church of satan in recent years after recognizing that any form of belief is basically bullshit.
