greengrass Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 Well that totally threw me off^^ But my demise is an occasional deep thought. The older i gets plus people my/your age dying makes one put it all into perspective . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am no expert but, what attracted me to both classical music and heavy metal were aspects like a rapid change in tempo and all the unexpected twists and turns within a composition. I really love heavy metal songs with complex and unexpected chord progressions. You never know what's going to happen next, while listening! Both genres of music really relax my mind and help me de-stress! I think you'll like this meme Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IpMan Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 Damn right it was, some obviously more than others. Berlioz & Wagner were seriously metal, and as mentioned before the diminished fifth from baroque. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then there's the Prog connection, I'm convinced that Robert Fripp/ King Crimson had inspiration from Igor Stravinsky's "Rite of Spring" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stryder1978 Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 I just listened to The Temptations "Papa Was a Rolling Stone" and it made me wonder about the chorus: Papa was a rolling stone.Wherever he laid his hat was his home.And when he died, all he left us was alone. That last line is an awesome homonym. And when he died, all he left us was "alone" or "a loan", both fit well with the song. I wonder, was this intentional?

Kiwi_Zep_Fan87 Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 Is anybody else interested in 3D Stereoscopic technology that became a craze during the Victorian Era? Apparently, it has been deemed as the earliest form of Virtual Reality. I find it absolutely fascinating! I am currently watching a very interesting lecture on the subject: Also, there are some fascinating books being produced using Stereoscopic technology, thanks to the London Stereoscopic Company. I purchased one fairly recently which is a heavily Victorian era themed book called "The Poor Man's Picture Gallery." https://www.londonstereo.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwi_Zep_Fan87 Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 (edited) Déjà vu. Deep down, very little has changed. The parallels are terrifying (to say the least!). Edited October 18, 2019 by Kiwi_Zep_Fan87 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See also the fictional thread on the band's post-O2 World Tour, where the fans put the band on the road. One thing that is most striking about old threads is the amount of You Tube content that has since been pulled from that site. I miss the Wild West days of You Tube when one actually could find literally anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
