John Zorn is The Shit. Everyone, if he's ever in town, sell your dog if you have to and go see him. Whether it's Masada or his musical gamepiece Cobra, the performance will stun you rigid. He also produced the first Mr. Bungle album which gives some sense of what his music is like. -----Original Message----- From: orb-admin@mailman.xmission.com [mailto:orb-admin@mailman.xmission.com]On Behalf Of Alan Evil Sent: Wednesday, November 20, 2002 11:07 AM To: orb@mailman.xmission.com Subject: [Orb] (no subject)
i was really into that, back in tha day. Metallica's last few releases have seemed ... insincere.
Insincere? How about they've sucked serious ass? They're a kickass live band but their albums have pretty much blown huge donkey dicks since Ride the Lightning. And since they became such schills for the RIAA in the Napster dispute I've realized they're also FUCKING MORONS. How about John Zorn? I've got some Japanese Naked City albums (for some reason WB won't release them in the US without changing the artwork and Zorn won't do it so we have to pay $40 per cd) that are so hard they're almost diamonds and so funny it makes me cry. Any band that can slam from beating you with a ten ton club to light jazz to speed metal to sugar pop to screaming noise without dropping a note and all in fifteen seconds has my neverending admiration.
