Justin Johnson. Gimme Back My Bullets on an AMMO BOX GUITAR, and I FALL TO PIECES on a Jenga Block Guitar.

And the jolly green giant, Peter Steele of Type O Negative playing an upright bass like it's a bass guitar. He was a 6'8" giant, and a bodybuilder, so he could do that. Mute the audio if you don't like the music, and you probably won't, but check this out. He normally played a regular bass of one type or another, sometimes modified by cutting huge holes in them or in other ways, and sometimes a Frankenstein amalgamation of parts from 2 or more basses. Sometimes he used a regular guitar strap on it, but most of the time used a steel chain. He had amps and speakers with added tweeters on stage pointing right at him, so they would vibrate the strings and cause feedback. All of Type O Negative's albums while he was still alive were a particular shade of green. He was a perfectionist and looked at hundred of pictures until he found the one he wanted. The Special Edition cover of the last album was red but otherwise looked the same. During his stay in jail at Rikers Island, he found out it's not the place you want to be if you're a white guy with long hair and fangs.  ;D  He got off the drug and alcohol, and was writing songs for a new album, then died. What's the use of getting clean and sober if you're just going to die unexpectedly?

I've been doing color by number pictures on my cell phone, and when I clicked on one to continue it, it was an Aquaman movie character. Something clicked in my brain and I heard a line of Jethro Tull's song Aqualung playing, but it they sang Aquaman to the same music, instead of Aqualung with one more word altered in the lyrics.

Aquaman my friend
don't you swim away uneasy
You poor old sod,
you see it's only me

Before I had a chance to post about it my computer quit working, so I had to shut it down and run System Repair on startup. While that was running I saw the TandemKross pouch with tools in it to make assembling Ruger 10/22 rotary mags easier. Then I heard the music for Southern Cross by Crosby, Still and Nash in my mind, and thought, "When you see the TandemKross for the first time." Then I thought stop, just stop it, this is getting ridiculous. I don't know what my problem is, but I know I have one. And listening to CSN made me feel better.

BTW, the Aqua-Lung was the first open-circuit, self-contained underwater breathing apparatus (or "SCUBA") to achieve worldwide popularity and commercial success. The Aqua-Lung was invented in France during the winter of 1942–1943 by two Frenchmen: engineer Émile Gagnan and Jacques Cousteau, who was a Naval Lieutenant. Yes, that Jacques Cousteau. It allowed "I will now send my son Philippe into the shark infested waters" Cousteau, and "screw France, I'm emigrating to Montreal, Quebec" Gagnan, to film and explore underwater more easily.

I got done watching the movie Iron Man 3 and was searching IMBb to see what other Iron Man movies and cartoons are out there I may be able to watch for free. That's when I came across Sir Mix-A-Lot and his version of the Black Sabbath song Iron Man. He recorded it with American heavy metal band Metal Church, and released it on his 1st album, SWASS. He was more famous for Baby Got back off his 3rd album in 1992, but this was 3 years earlier. Baby Got Black... Sabbath. I never heard it before but it's worth listening to once, maybe. The opening drum track is obviously a sample of We Will Rock You by Queen. Metal Church was one of the 5 bands I saw at an Operation Rock & Roll concert. Operation Rock & Roll was a 1991 concert tour featuring Judas Priest, Alice Cooper, Motörhead, Dangerous Toys and Metal Church. It ran from 9 July 1991 until 19 August 1991 in the United States and Canada. This tour was in honor of the US forces involved in Operation Desert Storm during the Gulf War. This would also be Judas Priest's final tour with Rob Halford until 2004.

Not worth listening to is Busta Rhymes - Iron Man (This Means War), with Ozzy Osbourne, from Nativity in Black II. Just skip it. The first Black Sabbath tribute album, Nativity in Black, was good except for when the lead singer of Faith No More forgot the lyrics to Iron Man and started singing nyah, nyah, blah, blah, yah, yah, or something like that. The second Black Sabbath tribute album, Nativity in Black II, wasn't as good as the first one, but didn't really suck except for this song. I always thought Busta Rhymes was a stupid name, but if I was a black man named Trevor Jr., I'd go by an alias too. :)  He uses the word niggas twice in the first 2 lines of the first verse, and toward the end or the 2nd verse says niggas in 3 out of 4 lines. If you think he doesn't say niggas again in the 3rd and final verse, guess again. To me, nigga, nigga, nigga, nigga, isn't music. It's poor writing and lack of talent, but some niggas will disagree. ;)

Here's a link to the entire Nativity in Black album, plus a European bonus track and 2 Japanese version bonus tracks I never heard before, by a doom metal band I never heard of from Coventry, England called Cathedral. And here are 11 of 12 songs from Nativity in Black II, plus the missing song, N.I.B. by Primus (with Ozzy Osbourne).

Wikipedia - "N.I.B." is a song released by English heavy metal band Black Sabbath. It first appeared as the fourth track on the band's 1970 debut album, Black Sabbath. The lyrics are in the first person from the point of view of Lucifer. Bassist Geezer Butler, who composed the song's lyrics, has said that "the song was about the devil falling in love and totally changing, becoming a good person."

The song's title has long been a source of speculation, with some fans over the years interpreting the title as meaning "Nativity in Black" or "Name in Blood". In the early 1990s, Geezer Butler claimed that the title was a reference to drummer Bill Ward's beard at that time, which his bandmates felt looked like a pen nib. According to Butler, "Originally (the title) was Nib, which was Bill's beard. When I wrote N.I.B., I couldn't think of a title for the song, so I just called it Nib, after Bill's beard. To make it more intriguing I put punctuation marks in there to make it N.I.B. By the time it got to America, they translated it to 'Nativity in Black'."

Though "Nativity in Black" is a disputed title, it was later used for a pair of Black Sabbath tribute albums released in 1994 and 2000 respectively.

Ugly Kid Joe recorded their cover of "N.I.B." for the Nativity in Black tribute album, followed by Ozzy Osbourne and Primus on Nativity in Black II; the latter cover peaked at No. 2 on Billboard's Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks chart in October 2000. This version also appears in Osbourne's 2005 boxed set Prince of Darkness. Storm Large also covered it for her 2014 album Le Bonheur. I thought they said his head looked like a nib, not his beard, but it was a long time ago when I heard them say it.

P.S. I don't know why it doesn't show the whole playlists when you click the YouTube link on the last 2 videos, but if you search for Nativity in Black and Nativity in Black II you'll find them.

Hours earlier I lit a Candle-lite Company Jar Candle in the bathroom. The scent is called Moonlit Starry Night, and as soon as I read that, in my mind's ear I heard Don McLean singing, "Starry, starry night. Paint your palette blue and grey..." So here's his song Vincent, about Vincent Van Gogh. And some more songs from American Pie you probably haven't heard if you you don't have the album. These are half of the songs on the album. The rest are also worth listening to.

On American Pie, a guy named  Mike Mainieri plays the marimba and vibraphone. If you want to know the difference between the two instruments, this guy will show you. A lithophone is similar except it has stones you hit to make music. There's a cave somewhere that's rigged up with solenoids like doorbell chimes to play on stalactites music too. I can't remember where, but I may have posted it before. That's the biggest musical instrument I know of, it's a giant lithophone.

I don't know if I posted any of this before, but Austrian singer Falco released the German-language song Der Kommissar as a single in December 1981, and it was on his first album in 1982. Then British rock band After the Fire (or ATF) had a cover version of Der Kommissar, as an English translation on their album Der Kommissar. Then in 1985, Roger Daltrey of The Who had a song called After the Fire on his solo album Under a Raging Moon. It was written by Pete Townshend, also of The Who. I always wondered if this English band  who wrote a song with the same name as another English band had any reason for doing so. Keith Moon was also a member of The Who until he died of a drug overdose in 1978 at age 32. He had a habit of kicking over his drums and destroying things. You could call him a raging Moon. Or maybe a lunatic.

I just found out Falco's album Out of the Dark, and the single form it, Out of the Dark, were released after he died in 1998 at age 40.

In the 1993 American science fiction action film Demolition Man, starring Sylvester Stallone, Wesley Snipes, Sandra Bullock, and Nigel Hawthorne, the title theme is a remix of the song originally recorded by Grace Jones and written by Sting during his time as frontman for The Police. It was on Nightclubbing, the fifth studio album by Jamaican singer and songwriter Grace Jones, released in 1981. Soon after Jones released her version as a single, the Police recorded their own version for their 1981 album, Ghost in the Machine. Then Manfred Mann's Earth Band, an English rock band formed by South African musician Manfred Mann had their version on Somewhere in Afrika, their eleventh album released in 1982. Then there was a Demolition Man EP released in 1993, featuring Sting's re-recording of The Police track Demolition Man. Four versions of the same song by 4 individuals/groups, over a period 12 years, but 3 of them were in 2 years, way before the movie of the same name. That's kind of crazy, and pretty much unheard of for any other song. I like Manfred Mann's Earth Band's version of it the best by far. I may be biased since I listened to the Somewhere in Afrika cassette tape so many times, but it just sounds a lot better to me. I decided to only post the songs and not the videos but at least 3 of them have videos. The Grace Jones video is comical.
