    I saw them at MSG in September, '81 and they played this. What a great live tune.

    At a Christian church years ago, they showed us a video called "Satan in Rock." It had BOC, Ozzy, Sabbath and at that time I had all their albums and heard them many many times. It talked about their symbol of the upside down cross, which i have a tattoo of on my arm. I was LMAO. The church was trying to tell me those bands were all Satan BS. Riiiiight. 😁

      when AC/DC was getting big in the late 70's - then huge by the early 80's - they also became a BIG target for the bible thumpers - but just Ozzy alone probably pushed their buttons more than anyone ..

      It's crazy stupid that they weren't played more on the radio and insane that they're not in the HOF. I think it comes down to a few things:
      Pearlman and Meltzer had pissed off some industry people.
      The word "Cult" - yeah it's stoooopid with a capital ESSSS
      Satan references - 7 Screamin Dizbusters and a few more. "OMG it's Satan!!!!"
      ME262 - The Nazi jet plane and , oh no! they say the word Hitler in the song. (Duh, Bloom & Roeser are Jewish you mindless fucktards.)
      Yeah, I think there are people in the industry that are too stupid to get the humor and way too dumb to understand Sci-Fi references. It's really fucking sad. Oh well, fuck 'em. I got my albums and CD's and MP3's and Ima rockin' out and if you industry MOFO's can't handle it, then too fucking bad. Enjoy your stash of Air Supply records.

    I remember a good few years back reading a Christian fundamentalist tract called 'Angels' by the late Jack T. Chick about a no hope heavy metal band being catapulted into the big time by a mysterious agent called Lew Siffer as a result of signing a contract for a major record deal in their own blood and losing their souls into the bargain. It makes me wonder if he took his inspiration from the spoken word segment by Eric Bloom on the live rendition of this track. Uncannily similar but I know B.O.C. had their tongues firmly implanted in their cheeks and didn't really do a deal with the Devil. If that was the case, they wouldn't be playing the same small club venues where they could be caught this past few years before Covid.

    • @MrSkyblu1
      @MrSkyblu1 3 года назад +1

      The idea of making a deal with the devil and writing it in blood goes back a lot further in time than BOC and 7SD. Ancient Christians, and probably many today, believed that witches made pacts with the Devil and signed the contract in blood.
      Paganini, regarded as the greatest violinist, was thought to have sold his soul to the Devil for his skills. I think I even read somewhere that he said it himself, but I can't find evidence of this.
