Americanizing


antonio carroccio

Recommended Posts

It looks like this forum gets more and more Americanized.

 

No problem with that, also because the European guys do not choose to translate their idea, opinion, suggestion or jokes.

A lot of Europeans are also English native people, like the British one.

But also this folks does not appear in this forum like a year or two ago.

 

Anyway, I still look on this forum the crap you guys notice and sometime I share it with you.

 

 

Carry on…!

No Shelter

 

The main attraction, distraction

Gottcha number than number than numb

Empty ya pockets son

They gotcha thinkin that

Whatcha need is what they sellin

Make you think that buyin is rebellin

 

From all the theaters to malls on every shore

The thin line between entertainment and war

The front line is everywhere, there be no shelter here

Speilberg the nightmare works so push-it far

Amistad was a whip, the truth feathered and tarred

Memories erased, burned and scarred

Trade ya history for a VCR

 

Cinema simulated life, ill drama

Forth Reich culture, Americana

Chained to the dream they got you searchin for

The thin line between entertainment and war

 

There be no shelter here

The front line is everywhere

 

Hospitals not profit full

The market bulls got pockets full

To advertise some hip disguise

View the world from American eyes

 

The poor adore keep fiendin for more

The thin line between entertainment and war

Fix the need, develop the taste

Buy the products or get laid to waste

 

Coca-Cola was back in the veins of Saigon

And Rambo too, he got a dope pair of Nikes on

Godzilla pure mother f*ckin filla

Getcha eyes off the real killa

 

Cinema simulated life, ill drama

Forth Reich culture, Americana

Chained to the dream they got you searchin for

The thin line between entertainment and war

 

There be no shelter here

The front line is everywhere

 

Americanize, Americanize

View the world from American eyes

Bury the past, rob us blind

And leave nothing behind

 

Americanize, Americanize

View the world from American eyes

Bury the past, rob us blind

And leave nothing behind

 

Just stare

Relive the nightmare

 

:P

I don? wanna see your shadow no more

 

Chorus:

Coloured lights can hypnotize

Sparkle someone else? eyes

Now woman, get away

American woman, listen what I say-ay

 

American Woman, said get away

American Woman, listen what I say

Don? come a hangin?around my door

Don? wanna see your face no more

Take off, you hosers!!!

 

Antonio! It will only become more American without people like you contributing! I prefer to think of this site as a viscious collection of individuals, not a cultural entity of one countries making!

 

 

At least it is not becoming Germanized!

Al,

 

I never figured you for a RATM fan. :bier:

51398[/snapback]

 

 

 

....yeah, no more RATM, it's all about "Audioslave" now with pretty-boy Chris Cornell lilting about :P

 

 

heh heh, naw I like AS ok, about as much as I liked Soundgarden... which is all AS really now is, Soundgarden II :P

 

It's like as if Steve Perry went and joined another band... it would be Journey II. I don't care who was left behind in the "real" Journey, as the "sound" of Journey was... well... Steve Perry :rolleyes:

 

*sigh* I was like *there* man.... when Kim Thayil turned 30, back in '91.... knee deep in the mud of New Orleans. Man, he was like... "old" and stuff :lol:

 

Ministry and TRHCP rocked that show too :food:

 

 

 

...reminds me of the time I crashed a Butthole Surfer concert there as well, and some girl said I looked like Gibby(not sure if that is a good thing or not). Maybe it was the purple hair :huh2: ...and my friends with the mohawks and dreds :unsure: Ahh, good times, good times.

 

 

:rolleyes:

I'd go for "viscous", but nobody here seems particularly "vicious". It's possible that the Euro centric jokes don't get posted here much because Americans - just - don't - get - them. I sure do enjoy the travelogs and picture posting of the Euro set though because that continent is pretty intense for things to do, places go and people to meet whereas the USA and Canada are stretched out across a fairly large area and things of interest tend to be much further apart as a result.

Al, you went to a buthole surfers gig?? I worked 10 years in a club, and we had them more than once. I liked them.

...yeah, at the State Theater in New Orleans back in... ohhh 92 ish?? ... double booked with Stone Temple Pilots, and some other not-so-well-knowns opening. I had to get creative to get in to the floor by the stage.. ah hem :unsure:

 

Aaaaanyway, yeah, myself and a bunch of friends were staying at some cheapo hotel that apparently Scott Weiland and the rest of STP were also staying at... along with various groupies. And while my crowd was checking in, we were approached by said groupies, and some apparently thought I looked enough like Gibbey Haines(sp?) to strike up a conversation, and wanted me to say "hi to Scott" for her. Pretty funny.

 

In hindsight, we really should have "capitalized" on that little example of mistaken identity :whistle:

 

It was a fun gig, although GWAR a couple years later was more entertaining in some obvious ways :P

I went to see Green Day in Manchester in January and they did not seem to be fans of things becoming Americanised!

 

I personally think in the main we have a good balance of opinions from different countries on this forum- obviously there are loads of Yanks about so there will be plenty of posts from the USA but I see quite a few posts from Canada, Britain, the Netherlands, Scandinavia and France. Alex flies the flag for Greece too.

 

Not many though from Italy, Germany, Belgium, Spain etc though- the fact that English is the spoken language on this forum may play a part in this.

 

Guy :helmet:
