I don't like to brag

LOL  Joren IS David Jackson.... .

I don't know much of their music either. I liked most of the Tool I've heard, especially since they used a Bill Hicks quote in one of their songs. I haven't heard much NIN at all though (yep, Nine Inch Nails :)) hehe. Neither are among my favorites. Just thought you would probably like them, heh

My wife and I play it once and awhile. I get to play those fills and the solo is easy and fun to change around. Boys For Pele is her best, IMO.

No, son't get me wrong: I USED to like metal a lot. I still like certain bands, but I'm not such a big metal fan as I used to be... Saying that I like Manson, indiciates that I like Nu Metal or Industrial, which is NOT true. Apart from Marilyn Manson and Rammstein, I hate that genre...  (I saw Deftones live on a festival...) I just think MM is a fascinating person and I like his paintings... his recent music is ok, nothing more, nothing less, but "Smells Like Children" is experimental (and depressing ). Metal bands I used to LOVE were all OLD metal bands, from the New Wave Of British Heavy Metal (and before, and bands from other countries from the same era), like:

Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Thin Lizzy, AC/DC (not metal, but essential hardrock, IMO)

Black Sabbath (The first metalband, IMO)

Judas Priest

Motörhead

Iron Maiden

Saxon, Diamond Head, Raven, Accept, Dio, Samson, Tygers Of Pan Tang, (only EARLY) Metallica, Megadeth, Angel Witch

And I even listened to a LITTLE death metal and black metal, like Venom, Slayer and Mercyful Fate, but it got too loud and noisy (and stupid, that fascination for the devil of those bands ) for me...

Stuff like that... but I got bored  and now I love Zappa, Beefheart, VDGG etc...

He's seems to use other peoples opinions and point of views alot in his songs, which is confusing if you don't know the story behind the song. It's difinitely not Charles Manson though, I'm sure How cool you downloaded it though! When you ask people to do stuff like that, they usually just say 'ok' and forget about it. Thanks! Did you like it at all? Not one of the best. I didn't really notise it untill he played it live 2 years ago. Just the way he performed the whole thing! I rrrreally liked 'Only Women Bleed' on this tour. You should check that out too. I got all emotional hehe. I really like the lyrics. Guess I can relate to alot of the parts. Great song. And Tori Amos did a great cover of it as well hehe.

The sterotypical image of MM... hm... yes, that sounds reasonable... but I don't believe he is as obsessed by death or Hitler as described in the song... and I like his paintings...

And when it comes to music, I hardly ever forget to check something out! I know what you mean... it happens to me all the time too: you're very enthusiastic about a song and you tell someone to check it out... they never really do it...

I liked it! I think both the vocals and the song sounded a little bit like Savatage (a prog metal band). It was not very similar to his older songs (like billion dollar babies or poison), more metal, but nice.

'Only Women Bleed' ? I believe I have downloaded that once a long time ago... I'll try to find it again. I don't know how it sounded anymore...

I havn't heard Smells Like Children! I have heard quite alot of his stuff, cos of the popgirls at my school who thought he was 'cool'. I mean, they weren't genuine fans..it was just an in thing, I guess . I never liked him though... Not only cos of what he stands for, I've just not heard one song by him, I thought was good

You should Hear 'Wicked Young Man' by Alice, which is about Manson
