Rock/metal bands.

My eyes glaze over when the convo goes to rock/metal bands. I was listening to EWF, Chaka Khan, the Isley Bros., etc when my friends were listening to the hard stuff back in the day. I'm a smooth jazz/R&B lover now.

Yeah, digital made music collecting much easier. My former roommate had a SICK vinyl collection, but I don't have 20 years to collect like that. Totally down with Queens...


I'll have to check out Birthday Massacre, that is new to me. Love me some Rage back in the day, and Depeche Mode... any day. Tried to get into but never saw the appeal of Sublime or Tori Amos; think it's more of a cult thing. Jane's Addiction are legends. Actually dug some of Rammstein's shit and Massive Attack are huge to me. I consider them more electronic than rock, but whatev.


I have a stupid long story about the Ill Communication album that most would probably find boring. Simply put, If people don't respect Beastie I don't respect them.

I have a pretty "sick" CD collection, lol. Had almost 15 years to collect, before everyone stopped buying CDs. :-)

What you said about Beastie Boys: :D :smt023:smt023

Iron crosses have been modernly popularized by some people to an extent. Others are taking offense to it because the German military had iron crosses everywhere, from their vehicles to insignia. It's as distinguishable as the swastika yet no one really gives a shit about it.

The defense is that the iron cross was more of a military symbol and swastikas represented the nazi party (and their beliefs) Many people would rather you not confuse the two, even tho the German war machine was driven by hitler and his cronies

I know I didn't answer ur question tho...just google ace of spades photos :p

On the other hand, the iron cross originated after 1219 in Jerusalem, while the swastika is a sacred and auspicious symbol in various religions, including Buddhism, Hinduism, and Jainism. The word itself was loaned from the Sanksrit term svastika, which means any lucky or auspicious object. It is also a Chinese character [FONT=&quot](?[/FONT]). The symbol also appeared in various designs throughout the history all over the world. "Archaeological evidence of swastika-shaped ornaments dates from the Neolithic period. It occurs mainly in the modern day culture of India, sometimes as a geometrical motif and sometimes as a religious symbol. It remains widely used in Eastern and Dharmatic religions such as Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism. Though once commonly used all over much of the world without stigma, because of its right-facing variant's iconic usage in National Socialist Germany, the symbol has become stigmatized in the Western world." ?

I always thought it was trippy seeing those old kung fu movies where the lamas were doing pre-combat training formations arranging themselves in swastikas.
