Still cannot figure out if Blessed By A Broken Heart kicks ass or sucks ass.

Sucks ass....definitely sucks ass.

Expound?

Why?

Agreed!

What the F? I thought this was a Stream of Conscience thread?

Oops - I get it now. Queensryche has done nothing since 1991 - Guns n Roses has ALWAYS sucked - Joey Belladonna is one of the best thrash singers ever - Ted Nugent can shoot me in the C and then suck it - and Iced Earth has never played a single lick of good music. There we are.

The first two Hypocrisy albums are the best of their catalog. Third would be End Of Disclosure, although by that point they are a different band.

Just thought about Kind Diamond....then puked.

Sometimes they suck ass...and sometimes they kick ass. For instance, this song kicks all kinds of ass.



And this song doesn't.

That's exactly why I cannot figure out that band, Ken.

Wearing my new Ministry - The Mind Is A Terrible Thing To Taste T-shirt when I realized how much Al Jourgensen used to kick ass.  Then all of a sudden he went into the sucks ass category.

Hate to be the hater - but Alien Jorg has gotten better with age, imo. Psalm 69 was amazing - but every alum he has done has been better and better! And I don't even care for much, so-called, industrial.

Relapse was a masterpiece and Rio Grande Blood SLAYED!

He lost me after Psalm 69.  There are tracks here and there but nothing I find nearly as compelling as the stretch from Land of Rape and Honey through Psalm 69

Is it the "Missouri" in ya, Toho?  How can you not dig this:

I think that's part of it.

I don't mind the "rage against the machine" motif but when everything is a screed on the same topic, I get bored.

I also don't like "in your face politics" for album after album after album; a song here and there or even a whole album, OK.  But Al seems to have gotten so preoccupied with Bush and it just got old to me.


And I'd say the same thing if he was releasing album after album of Obama rants.  I don't listen to music for a lesson in politics.

Love ya no matter what, Toho

Ya gotta admit it though - shit is intense, regardless.

You know, "We get it Al, the Bushes are the roots of all evil in the entire world for now and evermore."

Get on with it!

Iced Earth is a terrible band name.  What does that even mean?  Is the Earth covered in delicious frosting?  

As my wife said, it sounds like a shade of lipstick.

Not to mention that I think he gets so wrapped up in his emotions that he forgets what drew me to Ministry in the first place.  Even though there was never a strong sense of melody, there was a sense of structure and dynamics; usually punctuated with some loops from movies or TV.

These days it's just all Al screaming at the top of his lungs.

You know, I never really gave it a thought but you're right, that is a dumb name now that you mention it.

If you are looking for a good band name, Toho, Check out Iron Reagan:

This is the most heavy metal album cover of all time. All other album covers are false.

Good name, funny video, music I hate.  I just don't get thrash at all.  Shouting, shouting, shouting.  Same complaint I have with hardcore punk.

If you pronounce NWOBHM - NuhWobUm - you are a dunce.
