My pleasure. I still remember when Randy Rhoads died. One of the greats.

Typical conservative spin: Some people are insinuating mental illness by using terms like "nutty" and "crazy-train". Dumb ass doesn't understand those are straightforward insults to her intelligence, not allegations of mental illness. Unless "stupid" is now a disease.

They should make a "Khaan!" ringtone. They probably already have. On a similar note, I used to have the opening to Ozzy's 'Crazy Train' as a ring tone for a while. You know: "ALL ABOARD! HA HA HA HA!" That always got priceless glares when I scared the shit out of strangers who happened to be standing near me when it sounded off.

LOL.. my son didn't get it at all.

You know this reminds me of the best valentine card I ever received. You remember when those cards that recorded your voice were popular? A guy sent me one where he recorded this scene.

"Finally a card that says how I really feel about you" ::open card::
"KAHN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

I kept that card for years until it died out.

Thanks KP, very funny

Next stop on the crazy train - facial reconstruction. Pick your own mathematical formula!

>> ^MarineGunrock:
What song is this a terrible remix of?


I think it's "Crazy Train"

Needs more "Crazy Train".

ALL ABOARD!

Dun dun. DUN DUN, dun dun, dun dun. Ayi - Ayi - Ayi -Ayi...


....I'll stop now.

Lyrics:

Crazy, but thats how it goes
Millions of people living as foes
Maybe its not to late
To learn how to love
And forget how to hate

Mental wounds not healing
Lifes a bitter shame
Im going off the rails on a crazy train

Ive listened to preachers
Ive listened to fools
Ive watched all the dropouts
Who make their own rules
One person conditioned to rule and control
The media sells it and you have the role

Mental wounds still screaming
Driving me insane
Im going off the rails on a crazy train

I know that things are going wrong for me
You gotta listen to my words
Yeh-h

Heirs of a cold war
Thats what weve become
Inheriting troubles Im mentally numb
Crazy, I just cannot bear
Im living with something that just isnt fair

Mental wounds not healing
Who and whats to blame
Im going off the rails on a crazy train

Translation:
War is destroying us. American civilization is the crazy train, going off the rails. I'm stuck in it it's driving me insane. I'm writing this song in an attempt to change it

Stephen Colbert mentioned this song in this book. I suspect this is partly how he views himself and the purpose of his show.

I see your Paul Anka and raise you Pat Boone doing an entire album of metal covers. It has to be heard, but only once. They actually used his Crazy Train cover for the opening of "The Osbornes" tv show. The cover of Dio-Holy Diver is as funny as it gets.

Yes, Iron Butterfly and I have though of a few more since I posted and I will probably think of many more. I think a best of list is very subjective to the list makers personal taste. I mean if you hate Nirvana, for example, you will not put Teen Spirit on a best of list. It doesn't make it any less of a good riff you just personally don't like Nirvana. Like choosing a favorite song. I would be hard pressed to pick one favorite song or one favorite band even because my moods change from week to week. This week it's death metal(Morbid Angel, Deicide, Suffocation ect.). Last week it was black metal(Venom, Mayhem, Darkthrone ect.). And next week it may be something else. Depending on which week you ask you may get an entirely different answer. I wrote about this condition one time and I coined the term "multiple music personality disorder" or m.m.p.d. for short. This is an affliction that render the person broke from trying to keep up with and collect so many different genres of music. I blame the internet for making all these obscure band readily available. Thanks for the background on the Black Sabbath riff. Oh that reminds me that riff in the middle of Chapel Of Ghouls(Morbid Angel) and Crazy Train(Ozzy) and Whiplash-Metallica,now thats a huge riff and Holy Diver(Dio) and The Trooper(Iron Maiden) and..........................................................
