Heavy Metal Sunday is Creeping Death
Oct. 25th, 2009 08:37 am(Yeah, I know I've probably done this one before, but it's so appropriate.)
I hope thelegion battalion slightly understrength squad of HMS fan appreciate that i have dragged my sick butt out of bed to post this morning. Not even the H1N1 virus can stop the power of Heavy Metal.
Y'all can thank![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
kshandra for today's selection. I was mentioning that i should do something relating to how sick I am at the moment. Since she's been watching me crawl around the apartment all this week, she suggested Creeping Death. Works for me. The song is one of Metallica's more popular live tracks, since we get to chant DIE! over and over. The band came up with the idea for the track when they were watching the The Ten Commandments. The sequence where the Angel of Death moves through Egypt killing each first-born child prompted bassist Cliff Burton to remark "Whoa, it's like creeping death!" That comment, and the story, inspired the song's lyrics.
Incidentally, if you want to see one of the reasons I reject organized religion, read Exodus chapters 7-12. In it Pharaoh is ready to let the Hebrews go several times, but God makes him change his mind just so He can send down another plague! What a prick!
Anyway, enjoy Creeping Death taken from 1998's Cunning Stunts
