Iron Maiden. Nine Inch Nails. Aphex Twin.

Three groups/artists immediately come to mind. I think he'd have quite diverse taste so: Whitney Houston - the self titled record from 1985, Limp Bizkit - but he wouldn't really know what they were talking about (does anyone?) possibly on par with his liking for Linkin Park, Stryper - because he'd dig the message and the hairdos, and he's been a fan for ages.

i like to think he'd be into dj shadow. bad brains and curtis mayfield would play a part as well. his jams this month would be nice and smooth's 'hiphop junkies' and digital underground's 'doowutchyalike'

ethan, Sunday, 5 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I supose he'd listen to allot of Spiritualized and Oasis

Mike, Sunday, 5 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Neil Young.

Tadeusz Suchodolski, Sunday, 5 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Marvin Gaye and Al Green

creed!

kevin enas, Sunday, 5 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Definitely not Andrew Lloyd Webber. Maybe Peter Gabriel's Last Temptation of Christ soundtrack? Or Israeli or Arabic pop (considering from what part of the world he's from)?

I'd pay anything to see him confront a Jew for Jesus.

Tadeusz Suchodolski, Sunday, 5 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Can you imagine the PPV revenues in a cage match between him and Fred Phelps

anthony, Sunday, 5 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

tori amos - just to see what she says about christian boys; magnetic fields - love yr neighbour ppl; and maybe neil diamond, just to see what satan's been up to lately.

Geoff, Monday, 6 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Well Handel, duh. Walkin around all day in those flip flops, being constantly reminded of your majesty and greatness. Mmm, but that's Pride, innit?

Master P or Linkin Park. Kind of like asking the tax collector over for dinner. Jesus was perverse like that.

Tracer Hand, Monday, 6 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Duh! Have none of you seen Jesus's website? According to his bio he likes Burzum!

Kodanshi, Monday, 6 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Ned's Atomic Dustbin. It is the day of WRATH and ye weeds and sinners shall SUFFER!

mark s, Monday, 6 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Jesus on that website resembles David Sylvian quite a bit.

I think Jesus (the real, risen one) would probably have 'Dead Bees On A Cake' on his Walkman. Or 'Approaching Silence', Sylvian's instrumental album featuring the scores from 'Ember Glance' and 'Redemption'. Something about Sylvian's milky smugness, his religiose narcissism, would strike a chord in The Redeemer, I think.

AT WAR WITH SATAN by Venom

alex in nyc, Monday, 6 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Jesus was a quite progresive liberal individual. I believe he would like post-rock; it has the critical background of a well established old form (parallel; judaism), but tends to lack the more unpleasant violent tendancies. He'd be a particular fan of Godspeed's 'Storm' off lift yr skinny fists. I think that Jesus would also go to raves and possibly be a DJ dropping possitive messages into happy hardcore.

I'm no christian, by the way, I just think Jesus, or what I know of him, he sounded like a sweet well-intentioned if rather smug guy.

matthew james, Monday, 6 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

He wouldn't have a Walkman.

Lyra, Monday, 6 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Y'all! He'd listen to Bach and Low!

Dan Perry, Monday, 6 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Whoa. Jesus was SMUG?? Will you please explain this?

Tracer Hand, Monday, 6 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Come on, the guy goes up to some fishermen and tells them 'Come follow me, I will make you fishers of men'. They're meant to drop everything and become his crew. He welcomes them with this cheerful message: 'Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword. For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.'

He regularily calls multitudes around him to make speeches calling other people (usually 'scribes and pharisees') 'fools, hypocrites and blind'. Hungry one day, he sees a fig tree and hopes he'll be able to eat figs. But 'he found nothing thereon, but leaves only, and said unto it, Let no fruit grow on thee henceforward for ever. And presently the fig tree withered away.' What a drama queen!

Momus, Monday, 6 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

And of course you forgot the whole Temple destroying thing. As well as the twelve year old knowing more then the learned men. And rending the curtain in the temple. That man knew nothing but socially inapproite street theater.

anthony, Monday, 6 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

that just sounds like the standard mercurial capriciousness you'd expect from any divine incarnation. those parts where he says that he can tell the future are kinda smug I guess - "you denied me twice - told you so" but he was about to die, give him a break.

the narcissism I don't see - but wd love to; jesus pomading his beard, bragging about how many chiX0r he's turned down.

Jesus - the Chuck D of his time ?

Patrick, Monday, 6 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Chuck D: Crucifixion ain't no fiction
So called chosen, frozen,
Apology made to whoever pleases
Still they got me like Jesus...

It's there in the New Testament, Tracer: John 12:3 'Then took Mary a pound of ointment of spikenard, very costly, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair: and the house was filled with the odour of the ointment. Then saith one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, which should betray him, Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence, and given to the poor? ...Then said Jesus, Let her alone: against the day of my burying hath she kept this. For the poor always ye have with you; but me ye have not always.'

Pfffff! Now that Siddharta Gotama, on the other hand, what a lovely man...

CHevy CHase = CHeeses CHrist = CHuck, er, D

mark s, Monday, 6 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Momus that story = rumor and propaganda. "did you hear? That slut went around to J's place and gave him a foot massage with Oil of Olay! And THEN he dissed the POOR! I practically had no CHOICE!" Okay, Judas.

Music on his Walkman? No, much too busy for that--it's Books On Tape! And, no, not Bret Easton Ellis reading "American Psycho," but self-help books along the lines of "Increase Your Personal Magentism," or perhaps the Tony Lamas method.

Though I haven't been a Christian since I was 16, I think Jesus has gotten a bum rap thanks to his overzealous followers (sort of like John Lennon). Too many embellishments and encrustations on what he really said or intended, thanks to those cranky disciples and camp-followers.

Remember, Jesus doesn't seem to have written a single word to defend himself (if he could write at all). For a very readable and convincing analysis of what Jesus might REALLY have said, before the editors and censors got to work, seek and ye shall find Stephen Mitchell's book "The Gospel According To Jesus," which attempts to winnow the wheat from the chaff. That fig-tree story, for instance, was uncharacteristic, smug and petulant-- much more likely from the hand of an idiot apostle who wanted to make his fuhrer seem even more divine. In essence, you get down to only a handful of things which the experts agree Jesus must have said (that is, if you believe he existed at all), the primary being, "The kingdom of God is within." I thought it might be Disney's Magic Kingdom, but, oh well...

Looking forward to the release of "The Bible: Original Soundtrack"...

Tony Lamas can make me purpler? Sign me up!!

Final answer: Lenny Bruce's Carnegie Hall concert.

Tracer Hand, Tuesday, 7 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I'm sticking with death metal, 'coz Lenny himself once explained that when Jesus came back he'd be pissed at all the things foax had done in his name.

Sterling Clover, Tuesday, 7 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Jesus Christ, damn typos--I've gone all fuschia in the face. Well, wasn't Momus touting that book about chromophobia? Maybe it's available on tape, too.

X. Y. Zedd, Tuesday, 7 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Covering All Bases Dept.: Hope you noticed my unintentional metatypo there--that's "fuchsia," named for Mr. Fuchs. If I remember correctly, it's supposed to be the first color fabricated in a chemist's lab. Probably wrong about that as I about almost everything else.

Sorry for yet one more irritating, nit-picking interruption--I was actually thinking of mauve, the first synthetic dye. (Fuchs was a German botanist.) Led to the Mauve Decade and all that. Appropriate color for Jesus's new Armani suits, though.

X. Y. Zedd, Wednesday, 8 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Jesus main arguement as to what to do to be superior : WOrship me. Why ? Becasue I say, and I can make supernatural tricks happen.

Mike Hanley, Wednesday, 8 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

three months pass...
He would listen to Hendrix, and Dylan. Slayer's Hell Awaits for amusement. Soundgarden And Nirvana

Aleksandr Werning, Saturday, 10 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

he'd listen to records of christmas carols non-stop. however if you stopped him & asked "jesus what are you listening to in your walkman" he would say " fennesz endless summer" deceitful shallow little shit that he is.
