Do you really think that such, uh, writing--overwrought to the point of impenetrability--is gonna convince anyone of anything?

Given the choice between studying a thesaurus or listening to Sabbath, many of us would probably deal with such a situation by putting on "Fairies Wear Boots."

Goin home, late last night
Suddenly Nerbly got a fright
Yeah he looked through the window and surprised what he saw
Someone gettin' stabbed on his front lawn

All right now!

Nerbly's a wuss and you gotta believe me
Yeah he saw it, he saw it, I tell you no lies
Yeah, Nerbly's a wuss and you gotta believe me
He saw it, he saw it with his own two eyes

Well all right now!

So he went to the doctor
See what he could give him
He said son, son, you've gone too far.
Cause smirkin' and traipsin' is all that you do.
Yeah.

FTR, I can't stand Adorno's musings on music.

HOLY SHIT, you hit it right on the head.

Nerbly, I'm sorry, but you are so fucking wrong. Do you listen to music, or just record yourself, and load it into the ipod?

does anyone else think nerbly and tocharian would be a great a match?

I know I've gone on record as saying that I find Black Sabbath to be overrated. But being overrated and sucking are two different things.

And the Black Sabbath as presented on this recording, indeed, the whole album, fucking rocks and does not suck.

Definite NOT CRAP. No waffles.

If it's impenetrable, whose fault is that?

If you wrote it, I'd generally think it was your fault.

Great song. Nerbly's fancy writin' notwithstanding.

Bill Ward was a punishing drummer. And Iommi whipped up some dangerous de-tuned riffage when he felt like it. His guitar tone was cracklin' fresh, like a sweet wash of sand-paper against one's nether regions.

But the following are ass:

* Ozzy's faux-blues caterwauling and ridiculous lyrics

* Iommi's attempts to play loud blues solos which put their heads on the tips of baseball bats, spin around dizzily and go nowhere in particular

Black Sabbath *was not* a great band. They had many, many deficiencies which will forever bar their way into the sacrosanct halls where rock's upper echelon will forever dwell. They still kicked ass mightily at times ("War Pigs," I'm looking at you), but the overall effect of their career has been -- considering the number of sub-moronic peanutheads who have sprung from their particular splattering of seed -- deplorable. Were the world poorer for the loss of Weedeater, Megadeth, and Iron Maiden, many of us would probably deal with such a situation with a degree of admirable, composed resolution nonetheless.

Fuck you, Black Sabbath. You are wildly overrated, and admired by googly-eyed, troglodytical spittle-dribblers nationwide, for no apparent reason.

"Supernaut" is still pretty great, though.

Idiots like you ruin everything for everybody. Why? Why do you do that?

I am not a "googly-eyed, troglodytical spittle-dribbler", at least not most of the time.

Also, Geezer wrote the lyrics and by and large they're awesome - especially around Master Of Reality where all the songs are about God. Compare this to Percy Plant and Geezer should get some sort of literary prize. Compare it to any band labelled as 'rock' or 'metal' from the era and they're leagues ahead.

I love it when folks like you talk about 'rock's upper echelon' as though somewhere, in a hidden volcano on an island in the middle of the ocean, a panel of experts admit and deny entry to this mythical land.

I had the luck of seeing Sabbath play to about 1500 people in a club and if I was ever going to be convinced that the aforementioned rock mecca exists then it was there in the gig.

This isn't school.

I was looking around and I came across Nerbly's art portfolio online, here's a self portrait he recently completed
