My eyes glaze over when the convo goes to rock/metal bands. I was listening to EWF, Chaka Khan, the Isley Bros., etc when my friends were listening to the hard stuff back in the day. I'm a smooth jazz/R&B lover now.
Lol. I can be caught singing along with old top 40's songs. I liked music you could dance to. I couldn't dance to Iron Maiden.
I have a pretty "sick" CD collection, lol. Had almost 15 years to collect, before everyone stopped buying CDs. What you said about Beastie Boys: :smt023:smt023

Why is the guy from Disturbed talking about wearing the stuff? The guy from Motorhead doesn't wear it, does he?
Iron crosses have been modernly popularized by some people to an extent. Others are taking offense to it because the German military had iron crosses everywhere, from their vehicles to insignia. It's as distinguishable as the swastika yet no one really gives a shit about it. The defense is that the iron cross was more of a military symbol and swastikas represented the nazi party (and their beliefs) Many people would rather you not confuse the two, even tho the German war machine was driven by hitler and his cronies I know I didn't answer ur question tho...just google ace of spades photos
On the other hand, the iron cross originated after 1219 in Jerusalem, while the swastika is a sacred and auspicious symbol in various religions, including Buddhism, Hinduism, and Jainism. The word itself was loaned from the Sanksrit term svastika, which means any lucky or auspicious object. It is also a Chinese character [FONT="](?[/FONT]). The symbol also appeared in various designs throughout the history all over the world. "Archaeological evidence of swastika-shaped ornaments dates from the Neolithic period. It occurs mainly in the modern day culture of India, sometimes as a geometrical motif and sometimes as a religious symbol. It remains widely used in Eastern and Dharmatic religions such as Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism. Though once commonly used all over much of the world without stigma, because of its right-facing variant's iconic usage in National Socialist Germany, the symbol has become stigmatized in the Western world." ?
Great band. I always thought it was trippy seeing those old kung fu movies where the lamas were doing pre-combat training formations arranging themselves in swastikas.
