It is freaky how a song written 39 years ago is so on point in topic in 2021, was glad to see you both picked up on that right away.

[@jklmn101]

Not actually freaky. At that time we had a lot of information out about the capabilities of tech advances in both military and social uses. It's not really hard to look at which directions those advances are taking to understand that the capability to misuse them when enjoined with the tech of the time (which was assumed to be also advancing) could be. Today we have once benign online services that can unilaterally dictate what we see and what we can say. Tech is ALWAYS neutral. People are either just or not just.

@@TheBoondoggler The screaming for vengeance album sounded good on any sound system. Had a friend with the worst car stereo ever and everything he played sounded distorted above 50% volume yet somehow this album sounded great cranked all the way up. The engineering on this album was next level when it came out. Got to see screaming for vengeance and the point of entry tours. Luckily I live in a big house with neighbors not too close so I get the luxury of hot tubes and a ridiculous pedalboard. Nothing funner than stacking pedals and looking for fat creamy tones.

The most important comment on this 🧵 is mentioning "The Hellion"..... The surname Helion is derived from the Old English word helm, which means a covering. In some later dialects, this word took on the which means of a roofed shelter for cattle. I'm assuming JP means we are cattle :) especially with the song that follows.

Love the Judas Priest reactions, they have so many songs that will blow you away in SO MANY different ways.

[@SuperHappyflowers]

"A lot of these bands were really in touch with how corrupt the government is." Great observation. Makes it even more baffling how the general vibe of modern music has completely 180'd. They're almost all on the side of big tech and big government.

[@rmr5044]

Can you give some examples? I don't see how modern music is "on the side of big tech and big government". Metal music today still talks about government corruption, climate change, war, religious stupidity, and so on. Alot of hip-hop/rap music still discusses systemic issues that plague modern society. Pop/mainstream music is still all about the same romantic tropes that have been around for decades.

[@Huddle_House56]

RMR he’s talking about popular music and if you don’t understand it you aren’t listening. As much as I don’t like her music, look how Nicki Minaj is being treated for just simply stating her opinion on the government pokey poke. She’s literally one of them and one with a MASSIVE following and even she can be ousted and lambasted for stepping out of line. Most popular artists have their songs written for them and if you can’t tell they’re ALWAYS about the same things. They’re all super rich and donate to (one) political party and all intermingle. Look at Alexandria Occasional Cortex at her hunger games party (met gala) intermingling with all those celebrities with her fking $30,000 dress that says “tax the rich” on it like what a fking joke. Hollywood’s the same way if not worse based on how women are basically sxually assaulted before they get roles. When you see an attractive woman in a big Hollywood role she either wanted to put out to be there or was forced to AT THE VERY LEAST take her clothes off to see what she looked like naked before she could even get a role. And they don’t care how old they are either. Remember that Netflix movie “Cuties” with the twerking 11 year old girls? Yeah 600+ underaged girls were auditioned for that movie. The entertainment industry is intertwined with the government man and most of it is actually quite vile.

[@rmr5044]

@@Huddle_House56 You did not list any examples of music being on the side of "big tech" and "the government". And ghost writers have been used for decades. They specialize in writing catchy songs with relatable, palatable subject matter. As for pop stars donating to the democratic party, that's completely understandable. Most creative and artistic people throughout history have been more progressive and/or supportive of liberal policies. The Republican party is the bastion of social conservatism. Conservatives have ALWAYS been opposed to most innovative creative, artistic, and "radical" methods of self expression. Conservatives tried to kill rock and metal music because it was too "satanic" and would "rot the brains of our children". Conservatives have always tried to kill innovative art styles, from Fauvism to Cubism to Abstract-Expressionism to Conceptual art. It's the conservatives who would call young women "whores" back in the day for exposing their ankles. It's the conservatives who shame women who would rather focus on their careers instead of engaging in the "cult of domesticity". So, if you are a rich progressive artistic person, who would you rather donate to? The conservative Republican party which has historically tried to kill all forms of artistic and social progression? Or the Democratic party which is more liberal and accepting of progressive art-forms and social movements?
