It's funny to me how this video affects me now vs 30+ years ago when my teenage self first saw it. Back then it was "damn she's hot" but now it's "sure she's hot but how does she feel about the effort to stay that way? I mean she could stand to eat a sandwich or two. And what is she like as a person, could I stand being around her for more than 10 minutes? Is she a stuck-up prima-donna? Is she funny?" 

Life changes your view on what is important.

Mine for sure.

There are better videos, and better songs...

But in the current climate there has not been a better track and video to exemplify that of  which many forget to quantify.
 

 

I'm guessing you have another Speakers Corner vacation, so your politics and guns go here.

You'd think I would have known that.

I know right?  Now I feel the chick in that video, lmao.  Sad but true.

I lost the love of my life to cancer just over a year ago, and the small town locals up here know it.  There's been a very attractive artist/waitress that's been coming on strong.   The perfect dream girl-wife material type (it there's such a thing) but I'm still just not interested in any of that right now.  Not sure I'll ever be.  Told myself that's it - alone till death, just like my grandfather when his wife passed at about the same age. (40s)   Yet part of me hope's she (that waitress) will wait, guess I'll never learn. . .

[Coreece 190]

It's been a wild life (fight). . .I'll call it a draw.  Probably wouldn't change it for the most part.

Round 2:

Welcome, want to come inside?
Meet the ghosts where I reside
Despite how they're abusing me
Lonely I will never be
Comfort in the hell I know
Resentment like a cancer grows
Longing for the day I'm free
Burn to get you out of me

Lying, supplying the need
Shedding and spreading the seed
Setting the trap with a thread
Spinning the web

Misery
She needs me
Oh, but I need her more

Misery
She loves me
Oh, but I love her more

Misery
She kills me
Oh, but I end this war

Misery
She fills me
Oh no, but she's not what I'm living for

Ricochets within my head
Conversations never said
Magnifying every thought
That familiar pain she brought
Seeps inside eventually
Misery loves company
Sullen, I created you
I suppose that I can end you too

She waits (She waits, she waits, she waits)

She waits (She waits, she waits, she waits)

Misery
She needs me
Oh, but I need her more

Misery
She loves me
Oh, but I love her more

Misery
She kills me
Ooh, but I end this war

Misery
She fills me
Oh no, but she's not what I'm living for
Oh no

Ooh, misery

She needs me
But I need her more
She loves me
But I love her more
She kills me (She kills me)
But I end this war
She fills me (She fills me)
But she's not what I'm living for

Oh no
Oh no
No, no, no, no, no, no
Not why I'm living

Misery
She needs me
Oh, but I need her more

Misery
She loves me
Oh, but I love her more

Misery
She kills me
Oh, but I end this war

Misery
She fills me
Oh no, but she's not what I'm living for

Misery
My misery

Misery
My misery

Misery
She's not why I'm living
My misery
She's not why I'm living
Misery
She's not what I'm living for
My misery
No, no

[Outro]
"Thank you, good night"
"That was the best one"
"That button was the best one"
"The best button"

Here we go folks!

 

 

Anticipation in domination
A sea of hearts beat as one, unified
Magnification, all generations
Approaching thunder awaiting the light

Full speed or nothin', full speed or nothin'

Lux æterna
Lux æterna, yeah

Exhilaration, frenzied sensation
Kindred alliance connected inside
Commiseration, sonic salvation
Cast out the demons that strangle your life

Full speed or nothin', full speed or nothin'

Lux æterna
Lux æterna, yeah

Lux æterna

Emancipation kill isolation
Never alone for the feelings alike
Amplification lightning the nation
Never alive more than right here tonight

Full speed or nothin', full speed or nothin'

Lux æterna
Lux æterna, yeah

Light it!

 

(Btw, those guys are about 60 years old, been doing this for 40 years and are about to go on a 2-year tour. . .)

 

Last time I saw them live (probably 20 years ago)  They had this thing where the stage collapses, pyrotechnic failures, guys falling from the rafters. For those that didn't know, it seemed real.  It was a play-off a real pyrotechnic failure when James got burned live on stage.

 

Anyway, after the collapse, these guys played old school ride the lightening under a single hanging light bulb for 30 mins straight non-stop.  Who does that?  Anyone who plays knows that's near impossible.

 

Just the band and the crowd - More energy than lights and pyro could ever create.

I’m really sorry to hear about your loss, Cory; that’s so tough, and changes your life into a new, and not always welcome, one.

Metallica somehow never did it for me; it’s like a Rothko or Pollock painting. I can tell the talent, I know it’s all deliberate and people find it meaningful and beautiful, but it just doesn’t speak to me somehow. But, old and corny as it is, this song (pre-videos) does always send me:

I totally get that.  I mean that inamorata video was just creepy and depressing.  It was a strange day, and I don't think I want to entertain that side of my personality anymore moving forward.  Much of their stuff over the last 25 years doesn't even speak to their die-hard fans from the early 80s. Guess I just find their persistence inspiring.

Tho I appreciate a broad spectrum of talent, I haven't really been a fan of music over the last 10 years or so - it's either bad memories or good memories from a life that's no more.  (tho classic rock never seems to get old for me when I hear it at family BBQs - stuff like CCR and Bob Seager, etc.)

My personal playlist now primarily consists of stock music I'd use for commercial advertisements I've made in the past, lmao.  There's stuff to fill every mood and they have no lyrics, so you can just let it take you wherever you want.

Anyway, thanks for the condolence.   Take care.

Dear wmwm999 and Coreece,

I have a theory that your taste in music is defined when you are a teenager or young adult. Your hearing is most acute during your teen and early adult years. After that, the "music" parts of your brain get re-purposed for other learning.

Some philosopher said: "It is the duty of every new generation to rile their parents with their taste in music, clothes, etc." I see every new generation struggling to invent a new genre of music distinct from their parents' taste in music: blues, jazz, big band, swing, rockabilly, rock-and-roll, British Blues Invasion, folk, blue grass, disco, new age, progressive rock, heavy metal, speed metal, thrash metal, Mongolian folk-metal, indie, etc.

For example, Sugar Hill Gang debuted circa 1979, after I was 22 year sold. While I enjoy SHG's light-hearted brand of hip-hop, I just don't get most rap introduced after that. Too much rap music sounds like "angry young man" music and I was past that phase of my life by the time that gangsta-rap became mainstream music. I did not grow up in a crime-ridden, poor neighborhood, so have trouble relating to most rap lyrics.

Sorry folks, but I am old and boring.

Thanks man, appreciate it - really. 

And congrats on 9 years.  I know we had our differences, but I always felt good sentiments/appreciation/respect for what you guys had/have together. Was always happy for you in that regard.  Best wishes.

Thank you sir! A difference in opinions and perspectives on occasion - no biggie. 

Best regards as well!

I suppose that could be true for most, especially the last part, maybe - I don't know.

As a child (0-12) I grew up on my parents classic rock (Zeppelin, Fleetwood, Hendrix, Beatles, CCR, Seger, Jay Giles, The Stones etc, etc, etc. . .)  And that has always remained deeply ingrained within my heart.

At 13 I started to add early 90s grunge/alternative to the mix (PJ, Nirvana, Alice, Sound Garden) but then I heard Metallica's black Album and that was it.  For the next 8 years though H.S and College it was all pretty much metal at the forefront.

After that it kind of lost it's appeal, tho I still appreciated it.  I down-graded to Godsmack for awhile and that was pretty much it for Metal.  I still have my moments, but they're few and far between.  I guess having a kid at 21 would do that to you. ( He recently graduated from Bucknell btw and is a software engineer for MITRE - totally into classic rock too!  And I don't think it's genetic.)

Bottom line is that nothing beats 60s-70s rock and never will. It reigns supreme and will continue to resonate with a wide audience for generations to come. . .

 

(I'm trying to think of the best classic rock song ever to post, but that's impossible.  So I'll just play the first song that I ever learned on the drums at 13.  Wish I could find the tape - It's gotta be at my parent's house, somewhere.)

 

"We've done four already but now we're steady
And then they went: One, two, three, four"

Singing in the sunshine, laughing in the rain
Hitting on the moonshine, rocking in the grain
Got no time to pack my bags, my foots outside the door
I got a date, I can't be late, for the high hopes hailla ball, uh uh, uh uh, yeah

Singing to an ocean, I can hear the ocean's roar
Play for free, I play for me and play a whole lot more, more!
Singing about the good things and the sun that lights the day
I used to sing on the mountains, has the ocean lost its way

I don't know, oh oh, yeah'

Ooh, yeah

Sitting round singing songs 'til the night turns into day
Used to sing about the mountains but the mountains washed away
Now I'm singing all my songs to the girl who won my heart
She is only three years old and it's a real fine way to start

Oh yeah!

It sure is fine!
Ah blow my mind!
When the tears are goin' down!
Yeah! Yeah, yeah

Oh so, oh so, oh so good!
Oh so good!

One, two, one, two, three, four

Shed a tear 'cause I'm missin' you
I'm still alright to smile
Girl, I think about you every day now
Was a time when I wasn't sure
But you set my mind at ease
There is no doubt you're in my heart now

Said "woman take it slow, and it'll work itself out fine"
All we need is just a little patience
Said "sugar make it slow and we'll come together fine"
All we need is just a little patience (Patience)
Mm, yeah

I sit here on the stairs
'Cause I'd rather be alone
If I can't have you right now, I'll wait dear
Sometimes I get so tense but I can't speed up the time
But you know love there's one more thing to consider

Said "woman take it slow and things will be just fine"
You and I'll just use a little patience
Said "sugar take the time 'cause the lights are shining bright"
You and I've got what it takes to make it
We won't fake it, I'll never break it
'Cause I can't take it

Little patience, mm yeah, mm yeah
Need a little patience, yeah
Just a little patience, yeah
Some more patience, yeah (I've been walking the streets at night)
Just trying to get it right (A little patience, yeah)
It's hard to see with so many around
You know I don't like being stuck in the crowd (Could use some patience, yeah)
And the streets don't change but maybe the names
I ain't got time for the game 'cause I need you (Gotta have more patience, yeah)
Yeah, yeah, yeah but I need you (All need more patience)
Oh, I need you (All need some patience)
Oh, I need you (Just a little patience)
Ooh this time (Is all you need)

I was gonna leave it all peaceful with gnr, but for some reason it gave me a double post.

So let me edit this and tell you how I really feel:

 

You take a mortal man

And put him in control

Watch him become a God

Watch people's heads a'roll
A'roll
A'roll

Just like the Pied Piper
Led rats through the streets
We dance like marionettes
Swaying to the symphony of destruction

Acting like a robot

Its metal brain corrodes

You try to take its pulse

Before the head explodes
Explodes
Explodes

Just like the Pied Piper
Led rats through the streets
We dance like marionettes
Swaying to the symphony

Just like the Pied Piper
Led rats through the streets
We dance like marionettes
Swaying to the symphony
Swaying to the symphony of destruction

The earth starts to rumble

The world powers fall

A warring for the Heavens

A peaceful man stands tall
A tall
A tall

Just like the Pied Piper
Led rats through the streets
We dance like marionettes
Swaying to the symphony

Just like the Pied Piper
Led rats through the streets
We dance like marionettes
Swaying to the symphony
Swaying to the symphony of destruction

 

 

Suck on that. . . .
