Du meintest am 06.02.98 unbedingt folgendes
zum Thema "Puff Daddy" in die Tasten hauen zu muessen:
That is really true :-)
But it is even worse, that other people like MASE are produced by Puffy
who make the same bad music...
So you have got Puffy everywhere, in every TV show, in every radio
station.
It would be great, if he stopped producing his music :-(

heheh Deicide are funny. Now Glen Benton realizes that's what people say
so he claims to be more "intelligent" about Satanism now hahahahahha if
there were no Christians he wouldn't have a Satan to believe in!
rock on!
Tell them to stock it, then buy it with a coupon :)
heheh that'd piss them off! But get it anyhow you can, even if you have to
steal Trey's own copy!
Azagthoth: Thou art the blind idiot god
heheh why didn't he choose Cthulhu? Or Nyarlothep?
hahah or even greek gods, like Venus or norse gods like Thor!
Trey Thor!
Don't be too hopeful about the new album, Formulas Fatal to the Flesh
(coming at the end of this month) I heard the promo and the guitars are too
generic... none of those special weirdass riffs he has on the first 2
albums!
At least the double bass drumming isn't as annoying... and the new vocals
are refreshing!
But get Altars first!
Buy buy buy or die!
Trivia: Did you know these Morbid Angel songs had different titles before?
Ancient Ones = Azagthoth
Lord of All Fevers = Lord of All Fevers and Plague
Welcome to Hell = Evil Spells
And also: these songs on the 1986 demo made it onto later albums:
Chapel of Ghouls : Altars of Madness
Unholy Blasphemies : Blessed are the Sick
Azagthoth : BATS
Lord of All Fevers : AOM
Hell Spawn : Formulas Fatal to the Flesh
Abominations : BATS
Angel of Disease : Covenant
Welcome to Hell : AOM
so look for these songs when you get the CDs!
They're the good ones!
