      ​@@LSLS1 I am a guitarist and the inconspicuous energy is absolutely mind-blowing here. You can describe anything the way you want to describe. Dimebag is just whammy wank on effect pedals. Tony Iommi is just pentatonic mumbling with a ring modulator. Marty Friedman is just classical scale sweep and tapping wank. Tom Morello is just acting like a chimpanzee battering some strings. That's not how music works, bro. Sometimes the simplest stuff is the best - could be because of the way it's arranged, how it complements the song's dynamics and texture as a whole.

    About a year and a half ago, my oldest son hollered to me as I walked in the door after my shift. "Mom! You have to listen to this band!" I listened for a moment, then walked away. My son called me back, because he wanted to share the music he "discovered". I returned with the vinyl. I put it in his hand. My son had discovered the music of my youth. He was happily stunned, and I was tremendously proud.

      @wisdomleader85 3 года назад +18

      I think there's a consistency in the chorus: they've always been spoken by the deceiver. "You won't have to follow me, only you can set me free" in the first chorus seems to imply that the deceiver was trying to win people's sympathy by playing an underdog or a victim, but this was only the beginning of a bigger plot, and the deceiver must maximize the profit through the next step: incite the public. "He won't have to follow me, only you can set you free" in the second chorus seems to imply that the death of "a leader" doesn't have to matter, what matters is YOU, every member of the society who falls for "cult of personality" and agrees with the deceiver. Protest, riot, or do whatever you can for a "movement", so the deceiver can expand his/her influence and cash your efforts in.

      I would completely agree with this comment. The reason is this. With the amount of media saturation and people being Instagram famous now, everyone gets the bulk of their entertainment from ingesting the personalities of others who are broadcast to them through all these platforms. Some of the lyrics are virtually prophetic, given that the internet was barely a dream when it was written and at that time, you only had the personalities of broadcast TV or MTV at best. The people we adore are being everything we want them to be, quite literally.

      Hitler banned secret societies across Europe, kicked out the Central Bankers (Federal Reserve/Rothschilds) and started printing their own economy next thing you know all neighboring countries waged war against Germany. Even the United States preferred siding with the Soviet Union (who had been killing millions of people since 1917) just to stop a tiny country like Germany.

    this riff got paired with some of the most profound lyrics the 20th century ever birthed - this is what the blues evolved into, on its own turf, in its own style. Political Lightning. Do not ever forget this band or this album.

      +omfug Just as much, really. The shit is real deep. Look up the "black hand". Now that you've done that, take a good long look at a magnified view of the great seal on the back of the 1 dollar bill. Also just look at what the bill says. "In God we trust one dollar."

      I guess bodyglove wetsuits had a hand in printing federal reserve notes, considering their logo is on the $1 bill. It's a hand with a gash in just the place you would cut your hand if you were to make a blood oath. Funny how there's a faint sword in the "grass" in front of the pyramid pointing toward the part of the hand with the gash. The only thing missing is a reflective ink blot on the upper part of the middle finger, and it would be pixel-for-pixel. Pure coincidence. It's not like someone who starts a clothing line worn by media elites/the bourgeoisie has to be rich already, and they totally have no ties to the mafia. Even if they use the same symbols as the mafia, they have no ties to it. Forget the fact that the symbol in question has been tattooed to Mafia hitmen. That's unimportant. It's just some cool looking hand thing.

      While you're at it, forget about how symbols of hands relate to Gnosticism and enlightenment philosophy.

    Never thought I would see a real all black metal band. This song grabbed my attention the first time I heard it. Vernon Reid was a hell of a guitar player with a unique style. The vocals were off the chain too. I was an instant fan of Living Coulor. Awesome song from an awesome band. Rock on my metal brother's !!!!!!!
