Salute to Our Troops

[Dejablue]

Wishing a happy new year and prosperity for all of our troops and their families.

Be safe and get home soon.

I think Metallica wrests our hearts best here:

Great song, for some reason I got a message telling me embedded wasn't working. Anyone else getting this message?

It says it was disabled on request, but the link is still working.

The first song I learned to play outside of rhythmic patterns on a 5 piece drum kit, it was and still is intense to play.




My how the same theme is still prevalent in the music pre-millions and post-millions.

Still arguably one of the bigger bands to roam the earth.

One is a great song. Not sure if anyone has seen the actual movie that is is based on. It is called "Johnny Got His Gun". I think it is from 1971. It was an anti war movie based around a WWI soldier. Rather depressing movie, I just made my wife watch it. It's long and drawn out but not a bad movie. When you see it, you can really understand what the lyrics of the song are about.

yeah I need to find a copy or find a quality copy online.

We have a primal instinct (an unlearned, inherent psychopathy) to form raiding parties and raid other peoples.

This is why we have games like football and basketball. Even tho we are not playing on the field it is very much a deep seated psychological fraternity of us or them. This is also why soccer matches (nation vs nation) can erupt into riots.

Our troops are the real deal. It literally is us vs them. That US includes me and you and every US citizen, let's not forget that.

Songs of war are really love songs in disguise, explicitly clear declarations of devotion and sacrifice.

I love Metallica, everything they have done. Ya know all of those albums fans didnt like, had a new band made those albums they would have been huge, great shit.

As for the embedding error, Warner Music Group is makign their own artists take down their videos, just as if they were some yahoo "illegally" uploading official content.

This link is from the official Metallica channel...

In short

FUCK WMG. Get their artists music illegally, then go to that artists website and buy a TSHIRT if you REALLY want to support them.

Tuesdae if you want I can email the torrent I have for it. It is a DVD copy so about as good as your getting for a 39 year old movie.
