Reply to System Of A Down: Mesmerize in Music JoeUser Forums

I disagree with you here Baker. I think Toxicity was a commercially geared album. Usually once a band makes the label a few bucks they have a little more creative control as far as their next release goes. sometimes it works, sometimes not. I think in this case Serj decided to go for the gusto on the lyrics, and speak from his heart. But then again, i don't dislike anything they have done. They are an all-around kick ass rock band. And that's

I love it when the kids do the mosh. Makes me feel old though The SNL thing was awesome. I think Serj (vocalist) planned it though. Good for him!

System Of A Down: Mesmerize in Music JoeUser Forums

Some of you are already aware of System of A Down. The LA experimental Metal outfit. A lot of people have a love-hate relationship with their music. Some critics have called it "schitzophrenic" or "Mr. Bungle Light". Whereas some critics have heralded them as the "Next wave of american heavy metal". I personally have been listening to them since their release "Steal

Frances The Mute is an amazing album. It is based on a diary of a homeless man. Apparantly the band found his diary and found it so fascinating they decided to record a concept album based on it. My favorite tracks are L' Via L' Viaquez (think Led Zeppelin sung in spanish) The Widow Frances that ghost just isn't there. FYI....They are on tour with System Of A Down this summer. I for one can't wait until they hit my t

Reply to To Court with Limbaugh and Rove in Politics JoeUser Forums

I can answer your previous question Doggie..... Show me ONE instance in recent history where any dem who has broken the law has NOT been punished. James Trafficante is still sitting in a jail cell in Marion, IL. Bubba was impeached, Sandy got caught. But the self righteous nature of you and your party causes you to think that somehow republicans are above breaking the law. When in fact they excel at breaking it!

I think Karl was pretty much caught red handed over the weekend. If it's good enough for Sandy, then prosecution should be in order for him as well. The point is that no one in the government should EVER identify intelligence people to the media. It could put quite a few lives in danger. The fact it was politically motivated compounds it. It was a sleazy, dishonest, and dangerous thing to do. But it's pretty much par for the course f

I have two items that are pretty old. and one childhood toy that's as old as i am. 1. An antique handcarved rocking chair that came over with my ancestors from Ireland (I think it's around 150 yrs old.) 2. A suit of armor (we named him Fred) that is stamped 1853. 3. A miniature Tonka firetruck.

Reply to Why should we pay for you to get rich? in Current Events JoeUser Forums

It's a trade-off at best. But Baker brings up a very valid point. Stadiums can generate a lot of cash by leasing out the venue for other events. And by default, surrounding businesses also gain revenue during usage of the facility. In the case of Jerry Jones...He's a sleazeball who is used to bullying people to get what he wants.

Reply to Iraq and Al Qaeda - Is there a connection in Politics JoeUser Forums

Who's to say that Saddam wasnt training his own terrorists that were totally unrelated to Al Qaida? I think if there is any connection at all between the two, it was informal at best. It is commonly known that Osama thinks very little of Saddam due to his "perversion" of Islam. The only real existing connection is after the fact in reality. There was no Al Qaida involvement with Iraq until we invaded. Iran on the other hand... <
