No one of the band is a preacher though. I've gone off Bruce Dickinson mainly as I'm jealous as hell of his life style
And he seems a thoroughly nice guy as well bastard!

Hardly getting over it.
A better reason would be that Steve Harris has spent the last 35 years recycling the same half dozen bass runs.

No, the guy in Iron Maiden.

BD was a NF candidate in a mock election at his private school. Well, that's the story anyway.
So, as black artists who support some of the socially-motivated the ideals of the Nation of Islam (self-reliance, sobriety, respect for yourself and others), they should have to renounce any aspect of the N.O.I. that you don't like?
As artists they should renounce racism
If you call them black artists then it's a different thing. As black artists they should be given loads of leeway...

never heard that before. to be honest i don't think metal is well renouned for progressive thinking in circulation

The painbow is a dick. Only dicks refer to themselves in the third person.
Well, dicks and village idiots, anyway.

Björk, from aged 14 to about 16. I LOVED the first two albums, the way she talked about interesting art and music and films and stuff in interviews, and wanted to dress up all colourful and batty futuristic/asian/cartoon millenium style, like her... Then suddenly I saw her flaws and the more annoying sides of her and by the time the third album came out, I'd already lost interest, it was like being bitterly disappointed by someone you once respected- Just feeling let down, sad that she turned out not to be a superhero after all...
Not that she'd revealed herself as "awful" either, more a case of suddenly realising that her persona (and voice) actually was a bit one-dimensional, and the fact that she by the third album had started making increasingly shit, unlistenable, overpretentious, mostly annoying albums which didn't quite deliver. Of course the third album (silver-coloured kimono cover) featured one of her loveliest songs ever (Jóga), but even that couldn't conceal the fact that she started running out of ideas and that she herself seemed to think she was more of a genious than she actually was. She just lost it. And it was sad to watch her fall from grace.
We'll always have the good old days, but even now over two decades later I still can't bring myself to listen to her first two albums all the way through, it makes me too upset and sad (bringing back memories of that period in my life, which was incredibly difficult and where her music really helped me get though it all) because it reminds me of how she suddenly just stopped being great, stopped being my hero, stopped making that perfect personal emotional awesomely brilliant music that seemed so right, captured that moment in time and the promises of things to come- A whole new world promised but which never came to be... All the things that never were.
(Oh, god... sorry- I'm a bit depressed atm, but I think I've just made my most pretentious post on Urban ever, so far... apologies- feeling sweet melancholy and sentimental )

Could just be one of those rumours - or it might be true and the teachers gave him no choice about who he stood for. Just reminded of it by someone saying he is a tory above.

i like it. makes him/her sound like a wrestler or super villain or evil robot.
I'm imagining him as the incredible hulk.
all the work that bjork did for music and then she stopped being perfect. it's like the british 'oh fuck you we didnt win the world cup'
The Painbow worked out that referring to yourself in the 3rd person encourages people to think of themselves in the 3rd person and people enjoyed this
I'm imagining them as a tiny shrivelled up thing which might pass for a disembodied penis if only it were bigger.
Does it bollocks.

Surprised nobody's mentioned John Lydon yet. Revered as the punk messiah in his youth. Sadly he seemed to believe it himself and it completely retarded his intellectual and emotional development - resulting in him becoming a narcissistic, embittered, self parody; propping up ex-pat bars in LA, whining about 'back home' with his pockets stuffed full of shekels from butter commercials.

i quite liked his butter ads
tbh i think that half the opprobrium lydon's attracted has been from the sort of purist derided by jello biafra in 'nostalgia for an age that never existed'
