[kj] Linkin Park - more suns

[fluw]

I already had bo diddley on 45 that's the problem.he rocked and rolled and
hit like a fucking jack hammer, while kiss licked doo doo off of old people
diapers trying to do a waltz! As a youngster exploring music i wanted
current music that rocked and rolled and they ( the library employees) gave
me fucking poo for clowns with no rhythm.

Really! That's what I fuckin' thought.  He should've written a paper on it
then n' there!

 

But, back to Fluw..

 

I think that librarian steered you wrong - and in the process put the halt
on your liking any metal in future. Or maybe that's what that librarian
wanted all along???

Now, I would've steered a 9 year old to some live Cheap Trick (BDKN?), Queen
or Led Zeppelin's "Song Remains The Same." Or Bo Diddley, too.

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>
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...
