Stolen Valor

Posted on 03/13/2010 6:56:17 AM PST by Sarah-bot

I want to approach this delicately because it is a delicate issue. Throughout our discussions we commonly encounter individuals referring to their military service as a form of reference. I must admit that I have done this my self. The point is that there is no way to know if someone is stealing valor by claiming military service on this forum. I am willing to submit my DD -214 to Jim Robinson or his surrogates. My suggestion is that anyone having prior military service (validated by DD-214 gets a star or some such indicator by their screen name), and those people can reference their military service. I am not saying this because I want to brag, I just resent the idea of people using pretentious military service as a form of reference. If I am out of line on this I apologize and I will accept the rebuke graciously.

OK, the monks doing Metallica isn't something I ever expected to see.

If they didn't get permission, Lars Ulrich will be on their ass.

He's like that.

The guy on the left is a good lookin’ son of a gun!

The one with the lemon on his head is a dork.

“rednecks with exploding lemons and fancy underpants”

LMAO!

I don't care who you are, that's a potential country song right there now.

Lars has a stick up his ass, IMO.

To have the Gregorians ‘cover’ your song is a great honor.

I assume Metallica is aware of that and gave their approval.

[and Jethro Tull whupped them at the Grammys....I *still* laugh about that. The looks on their faces was priceless.]

Gregorian: Masters of Chant is a freakin’ *awesome* group.

Check out “The Dark Side” album:

http://www.amazon.com/Dark-Side-Original-Gregorian/dp/B0004FRUEU/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1268610305&sr=1-6

And their cover of G&R’s “Sweet Child Of Mine”

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5hWILgE0ADs

And Ozzy’s “Close My Eyes Forever”

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MVjoOr43XQ4

[hearing them do “Losing My Religion” is kinda weird, though]....:)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kNkn_CsojbY

And one of my faves, Real Life’s “Send Me An Angel”

OK, the Gregorian version of G-n-R made me kick on the subwoofers.

That’s actually quite pretty.

I have an affinity for the Gunners, oddly enough.

Yeah...me too...:)

Slash makes [yet another] song with The Coop.

He kicks ass.

Clear the room of any delicate ears and crank it up.
