Motörhead is the embodiment of religious imagery in metal. Lemmy is, after all, God.
Life in Lubbock, Texas taught me two things. One is that God loves
you and you're going to burn in hell. The other is that sex is the
most awful, dirty thing on the face of the earth and you should save
it for someone you love.

In Asmo's grey lump,
wrath and dark clouds gather force.

How about the almighty Tony Iommi?

That's OK. Just remember, Motörhead likes you, though.

Remember, however, blaspheming against Lemmy puts your immortal soul in jeopardy of eternal torment by having to listen to a loop of the Spice Girls, Lady Gaga, and Justin Bieber for eternity.

Quote from: "Cecilie"How about the almighty Tony Iommi?

Tony is Jesus, so he's ok to worship. No one comes to Lemmy but through Tony.

Now, if I could figure out who the wholly spook is. Neil Pert, perhaps?

Tony wins over Lemmy.

Quote from: "Cecilie"Tony wins over Lemmy.

I will ignore your blasphemy this once. See that it doesn't happen again. I will have to send you to a reeducation camp otherwise.

In all seriousness, I'm not a huge Motörhead fan. I like the song "Ace of Spades" but that's about it.

I do like how they always remained true to what they were. They haven't really changed since inception.

One of the best shows I've seen is Black Sabbath "Born Again". Come to think of it, Tony is god.  :headbang:

Black Sabbath pretty much invented heavy metal, so of course.

Ludwig von was the first Metal God-Lemmy comes in a close second and Ozzy is just a total freak...secretly I think he's the wholly spook. But these guys are the Real deal when it comes to religion and metal music- Their actions and music have nothing to do with religion and everything to do with their culture, they can't play worth shit but I do love how they got their point across:

I saw that documentary the other night. It was pretty cool.

The media didn't get what they were saying. Calling them satanists when they were just pissed because xianity quashed their viking culture.

Oh yeah... Those were the guys who burned down the churches in my city. Including the one I was supposed to be christened in. On Christmas.

I think humans are visual/symbolic creatures. Verbal language itself is probably just symbolism, a word is a symbol representing something other than itself. I think the imagery that metal tends to use is pretty powerful and useful. Facing death, fighting the gods, accepting the 'bloody' parts of ourselves, these are things which I think provide intense aesthetic experiences, which people hunger for and probably need. I think a lot of the need for it is in response to the excess suppression of the darker parts of our nature. The response goes to far at times, but I think it's like a pendulum swing back and forth and (slowly) moving towards stability.
