theory: all the best metal songs have this kind of title

Josh, Sunday, 12 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

metal nouns being like "extinction" and "suffering" and such

Josh, Sunday, 12 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

admittedly this theory is inspired by megadeth

Josh, Sunday, 12 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

ex: "countdown to extinction", "foreclosure of a dream" (well ok metal noun phrase), "architecture of aggression", "rust in peace", "symphony of destruction"

Josh, Sunday, 12 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

reek of putrefaction?

rectal incubation with intolerable hot enema?

jess, Sunday, 12 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

did you get those from cannibal corpse or something? they sound good!

Josh, Sunday, 12 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

the first one is carcass. the second one is our own mark s! (unless he ripped it off from somewhere else.)

jess, Sunday, 12 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

(p.s. mark if you're reading i'll mail you those comments you asked for tomorrow.)

jess, Sunday, 12 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

cannibal corpse, carcass, whatever*

*: nb I don't care if you are darnielle or whatever and disagree with this. I got free promo cds from both at my freshman orientation => effectively equivalent

Josh, Sunday, 12 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

(josh went to undergrad in norway.)

jess, Sunday, 12 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I knew this norwegian guy who felt right at home actually

Josh, Sunday, 12 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

cuz it was in norway, you see.

jess, Sunday, 12 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

ohright BEAUTIFUL OSLO and oh the thrashcore

Josh, Sunday, 12 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

for instance wang of damo would not work, because there's no metal word

Josh, Sunday, 12 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

rectal intubation = carcass obv

i rip everything off: ideas make you stupid

mark s, Sunday, 12 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

guitar solos too

Josh, Sunday, 12 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

oslo (anag) = solo

Can I have 'Wave of Mutilation'?

Daniel, Sunday, 12 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

alter of sacrifice!

jel --, Sunday, 12 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

i like rectal "incubation" so much better.

("what's he building in there...?")

jess, Sunday, 12 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

"wave of mutilation" is a perfect sign of why the pixies of that period sound as I think kris said once like an awful metal band. they've got the right title and it doesn't even come out the best metal song of all time!

Josh, Sunday, 12 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I just did a quick survey of nu and sorta metal, they are much more likely to go with the one word song title, though they do occasionally show homage to classic song titles, eg: "points of authority".

jel --, Sunday, 12 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

of course 'wave of mutilation' can be sung with the words 'rectal intubation' so hey maybe that saves it if only someone would record a cheeky disrespectful cover version

Josh, Sunday, 12 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

thank you, jel, that confirms the natural suspicion that nu metal couldn't possibly be the best metal

Josh, Sunday, 12 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Does "Winds of Change" count?

Judd Nelson, Sunday, 12 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

grudgingly. (the whistling puts it over the top I guess)

Josh, Sunday, 12 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Happiness in slavery!

bnw, Sunday, 12 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

cf. jel's post

Josh, Sunday, 12 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

"Bunny toward Putrefaction"

nabisco%%, Monday, 13 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Bus to Beelzebub?

Keiko, Monday, 13 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

nabisco%%, Monday, 13 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Dies Irae (Day Of Wrath)
Like A Song (ok, ok, it's a fleeping U2 cover!)
