[kj] Linkin Park - more suns

[Leigh Newton]

That's some pretty complex thinking at 9 years old!

Same here, most metal music has always struck me as stilted & lifeless…and 
having nothing to do with rock n roll. 

 
When first asking a librarian as a 9 year old kid in the 70’s if they “had any 
rock n roll music I could check out”, they sent me home with some KISS record. I 
got home put the vinyl on and wondered why this “rock n roll” had no power, no 
groove, no movement. I took the term literally I guess, you know like “the music 
would have this sonic motion of rocking and rolling”. i remember thinking “ it 
sounds like old people making something fake, like music for the background of a 
movie that they didn’t like...it didn’t sound fun or like the people making it 
where having fun, and best I remember, that young interpretation of fun to mean 
‘similar to the way a live band sounds when everyone is improvising and in a 
moment with themselves and an audience.
 
To me Metal never had life, it always sounded like a cessation of energy, sound 
without motion or any naturally motivated direction, like a pond choked of 
algae…contaminated, stifling, it’s there but meh.
 
Killing joke #1 was interesting, very much so, I listened and liked it. but all 
attempts by killing joke to play metalish since have succeeded miserably in 
reminding me that I could care less for the sonic contributions of those genres.

I'll have to admit, I never "got" metal, during any of it's incarnations (70s, 
80s hair, 90s death/dirt or whatever, 2000s d-beat nu metal).
I mean, the guitars sound great on this Judas track, but there's no song here 
(except for one note), and the singer just sounds (and looks) silly.

One more BTATS ref.. (can't believe this one was overlooked in this forum)
"Faster than a lazer bullet
  Louder than an atom bomb
  Chromium plated boiling metal
   Brighter than a thousand suns " 
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2LTzLZ6VfAA#t=1m55s
          ~~ Painkiller; Judas Priest 
 
 
Anyone know if either band (kj,jp) claims the other as an influence?

Yes, I made an Oppenheimer reference in an earlier post; I am sure KJ don't hold 
license on the quote :)
I am just curious if this is a cover or or not?
There are also plenty of Requiems out there, from Mozart to Britten :)

KJ has an album called "BTATS;" they have an unreleased song called "4 Stations 
of the Sun."
 
"Brighter than a thousand suns" is a reference to a statement made by Robert 
Oppenheimer after he observed one of the first nuclear tests back in the 1940's. 
He also paraphrased the Bhagavad Gita at the same time, stating, "I am become 
death, destroyer of worlds." So there's that.
 
Hey, if Sugar Ray can be inspired by KJ ("All around the world, statues crumble 
for me..."), then I guess Linkin Park can be as well, but I suspect this is just 
happenstance until someone proves otherwise. Sometimes I think we tend to see 
our favorite band in the same way we see shapes in the clouds...
