    Music Facts you would like to share.

    In a scene during the original radio version of The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, Marvin hums 'Shine On You Crazy Diamond' by Pink Floyd.

    Douglas Adam's autobiography is called 'Wish You Were Here'.

    He also played a couple of songs live with Floyd at a live concert.

    I dunno if that's music facts or trivia or anything, but he's my favourite author and they're my favourite band, so I thought it was pretty cool.

    Music Facts you would like to share.

    i know of bunch of random ass music facts. but i doubt many of you guys listen to taht music.
    heres some band name meanings-

    1349 - thats the year the bubonic plague hit norway

    children of bodom - there were some kids camping at lake bodom in finland. all of the kids died except for one, who was insane after it. that kid just got off of trial for that, im pretty sure they found him not guilty, not sure though i forgot.

    amon amarth - its like a land/region or some shit in the lord of the rings

    bathory - some crazy ass countess from the middle ages who would bathe in young virgins womens blood. she thought that it would keep her yonger

    deicide - means the execution of jesus by crucifixion

    krisiun - comes from the latin work Mare Crisium, which means sea of abomination. also one of the craters on the moon.

    some random shit about bands.

    the original guy who did vocals for the band mayhem shot himself in the head with a shot gun. this was later used as an album cover. It is said that all his suicide note said was excuse the mess. It is also said that one of the members of the band cooked up some of his brains and ate it. also that another one made a necklace out of his skull fragments. The member of the band who found the vocalist was later stabbed to death by another member of the band. One of the members of the band got his house raided by the police. They found a bunch of dynamite, i can't remember how much, and plans to blow up a church on some major religious holiday. If any of you know about all the church burnings that happend in Norway in the late 80's and 90's, members of this band were part of that.

    Napalm death, who was a very big influence of starting the genre grindcore, was made up of 15 and 16 year olds. They have the world record for the shortest song. It's called You Suffer. Its 1.316 seconds long, and the lyrics for it are "You suffer, but why?"

    The genre "Death Metal" was named after a song called that by possessed. Not named after the band Death, which many people think it was. Death was under a different name at the time, and possessed released their first album before death did.

    Compare that with a simple ass rock song that has some guitars and a hook thats usually repeated 1000 times with maybe 2 8 bar verses, and even that is pushing it. But hell, I dont need to defend hip hop, why do you think it has reached every place in America? Everything is imitating hip hop right now.

    I do respect rock or any truly "performed" music. It takes alot to have 5 people playing on the same page everytime they go out. But still, rap is literature. Go dl fruity loops and make me a beat and tell me its easy. We are seeing more actual strings, drums, and shit like that than we used to.

    it took me twelve weeks to write a beat i felt good about on fruity loops. it took me twelve years to play guitar like i do. i'm not saying hip hop doesn't take talent, but half the rhymes i hear are about the same thing. money and women. I know that there's lupe fiasco and he's different and that there have been different styles sprinkled through raps history, but the majority nowadays is the same.
