Black Sabbath - "Headless Cross"

We used to play this song back in my cover band days. *horns up*




Look through the people, and on through the mist
To the hill of the headless cross
Where all witches meet, on a night such as this,
And the power of darkness is host
They come face to face, eye to eye, soul to soul,
With an Angel that fell from the sky
Borne on the air, are the screams and the wails
Of the masses appointed to die

Listen for the feet as they pound the land to a tune of thunder
Watch as the legions ride again to a fate of death or torture,
At the headless cross, at the headless cross

From the first evil night, when a black flash of light
Cut the crucifix half to the ground
There's been no escape from the power of Satan,
On a nation so brave and so proud

Listen for the feet as they pound the land to a tune of thunder
Watch as the legions ride again to a fate of death or torture,
At the headless cross, at the headless cross

How do you feel, when the locks refuse the key
And the master is calling your name,
Does the luck of the charm, really keep you from harm
Does the talisman protect you from pain

Listen for the feet as they pound the land to a tune of thunder
Watch as the legions ride again to a fate of death or torture,
At the headless cross, at the headless cross

From the first evil night, when a black flash of light
Cut the crucifix half to the ground
There's no escaping from the power of Satan
For a people so brave and so proud

Listen for the feet as they pound the land to a tune of thunder
Watch as the legions ride again to a fate of death or torture,
At the headless cross, at the headless cross
At the headless cross, at the headless cross

Where will you run to, at the headless cross
Look, to the headless cross

Black Metal Guitar Lesson - Voicings for Sinister Sounds & Riffs

I hate to say I told you so, but... (Metallica/Lou Reed)

My hate for pretty much anything Meh-tallica has done for the last 15 years is well-known, and when the wet fart that is the recently released collaboration with Lou Reed entitled "Lulu" seeped out of the collective sphincters of said "artists", well, as I am known to do, I called a spade a spade.

Proving am NOT the bitter old bastard I might seem to be(well, 'proof' is a strong word... how about 'possibly suggesting'? LOL), here are a few of the comments from around the 'net regarding this meeting of the musically feeble-minded:


"here's my review........crap I ran out of toilet paper!!"



"...everyone is pissed off at Lou Reed for assuming he could co-opt metal into his arty fart hipster world. Metal fans frown upon that sort of thing. The fact that Metallica sucked on it wasn't a surprise either. And in that, we're kind of pissed off and embarrassed at ourselves every time they release an album for the futile fleeting hope that they might come up with something good again after all these years.


 "... this album make a good laxative cause every time I hear it I have to take a shit."


"...There's a new Megadeth record coming out and that will be infinitely better then anything Metallica will put out for the next 10 years."


"If the album isn't meant as a goof it's easily one of the dumbest things ever. These days Metallica sounds exactly like what they are: a lazy stadium-rock band going through the motions. Lou Reed sounds exactly like what he is too: an old, overrated, pretentious dick with an eternal chip on his shoulder.


"Shit sandwich."  (direct and to-the-point... I like that!)
