Is Blasquiz the vocalist on the Retrospektiw I-II version of Theusz Hamtaahk?

Why wouldn't it be?

Because it's not a sport/QUOTE]

Sport is an activity that is governed by a set of rules or customs and often engaged in competitively. Sports commonly refer to activities where the physical capabilities of the competitor are the sole or primary determiner of the outcome (winning or losing)

Seems reasonable to consider boxing a sport to me.

Also, why does everyone who's reviewed Retrospektiw I-II think Theusz Hamtaahk is their weakest piece? Shocked

Don't know, but it's hard to call one of the tracks a "weakest piece" - while technically one has to be preferred I suppose, they're both stunning IMO.

Because it's not a sport, let alone one of olympic standards. It;s just people punching each other while the other is trying not to get punched

Although I dislike boxing immensely, it's more of a sport than shooting, in my opinion. I cannot see a point in shooting.

However, I can tolerate Archery for some odd reason. LOL

I'm not just referring to that album... many reviewers think it's their weakest overall piece and certainly the weakest part of the Theusz Hamtaahk Trilogie.

I personally love it and those sirens... oooh those sirens!

Having said that, those sirens also appear on MDK don't they? Well, on the YouTube version, if memory serves.

Another question: why is there no decent photo of Klaus Blasquiz in his Magma heyday? Shocked

More spam, 'cause I'm too lazy to edit my last post: but from memory, I do not hear Didier Lockwood on Retrospektiw I-II even though he's supposed to be there... am I deaf to the violin or is he not actually on it? LOL

according to the PA page, on Theusz Hamtaahk, it should be him and Vander the male vocals, and Stella and Liza Deluxe (?) the female vocals.

It's pretty simple actually, first one to hit the ground.
Great sport, self defense(though I like BJJ better), read up on it and you'll see.

I understand that much. LOL

I was more referring to the different throws and holds and the points you get for them. Wink

I guess it does help reading about it though.

It helps a lot if you practice it, or watch it a lot. My brothers are into mixed martial arts so I get all my info from them.

I imagine points are awarded in Judo for 'clean' throws that are legal and show proper technique (hand position, balance, power, etc)

..maybe they'll show some Taekwondo this year on the Olympics

I think Area is the best band no one's talking about.

I need to hear them! Which album do you recommend first?

I have a compilation of their first four studio albums and some live stuff like Are(A)zione. I don't think you can go wrong trying to acquire any of that.

So the albums would be:

Arbeit Macht Frei
Caution Radiation Area
Crac!
Maledetti

edit: I found the compilation called "Area Gold Edition" for about $50 and it's worth every penny if you want to dive right in. The individual albums are a bit pricey.

Alright. Thanks!! Big%20smile

All I know is there's one that gives you 100 points. Confused

I also hate Root Beer. Dead

And Cream Soda... ewww Dead

However, real Ginger Ale is lovely! It blows my head of too.

Try Entimann's. Big%20smile

Natural Brew's Outrageous Ginger Ale is my favorite. It really tastes like ginger. It's almost spicy, and has a rather long aftertaste. Big%20smile

I like a good Gingerale too, Vernor's is my favorite, though I used to be a big Dr Pepper drinker.. I love rootbeer but the differences between brands is astounding, so many different versions; some emphasize the birch or vanilla, some the sasparilla or wintergreen, etc.
