Hell yeah, I normally hate hair metal, but that was excellent.

They probably got so much tail acting like this that it started to rub off on em.

dude that solid 80s rock groove at 1 minute in could destroy a giant space station


Made of tinsel.

Thank you for your good will here, I genuinely appreciate it. It's one of the few acts of sincerity I've received on this board. Because of that, you've inspired me to present my defense. I will attempt to show that evolution is every bit as metaphysical as a belief in God. I will also attempt to answer the question you posed about compartmentalization. I should get to it later today. Thank you again.

I had a little rant here..ive erased it for civilities sake..if you want to address me in civilized manner instead of attacking my intellect, which I will assure you is doing just fine, let me know..
You mistake me, sir, for a common internet thug. My comment takes no such attitude. There exist very learned scientists who are among the most pious Christians ever. People like William Jennings Bryan, Freeman Dyson, and the head of the genome sequencing project, Francis Collins.
The younger Behe's answer about compartmentalization would probably, in my estimation, apply to all of them. That's not an attack on their intellect, sir. At least, I don't see it as one and I certainly don't mean it as one. In fact, a very decent argument could be made that such a sophisticated partitioning would require a degree of sophistication beyond that of normal needs.
For instance, I have very achievable compartmentalization requirements when I carry two opposing thoughts in my head. Typically, they are thoughts like "I hate 80s hair metal but I love that one song by Warrant" or the like. That kind of partitioning doesn't require a lot of mental horsepower but then, my needs are modest. You see what I mean?
As far as the second quote by Behe the Younger goes...well, I believe that sums up the entire ID stance and is similarly in no way an attack on your (or anyone else's) intellect. Hey, I get it: creationists feels strongly about this stuff and I'm not surprised they're trying to get around the rules.
Just understand that we also feel strongly.

For anyone who doesn't remember. Michael Sweet is the lead singer for the old 80's "Christian" hair metal band Stryper. The band who also backslid once they became famous (if you can call it that) and forgot all about the fact they were a "Christian" band. LOL

Judas Priest and a lot of 80's metal (obviously NOT glam or hair metal) is still very good music.

I think people just got too into the heavy metal fashion during the 80s and now when they look back at the music they conclude it must have been terrible, because the whole 'heavy metal look' was terrible, and still is (see): http://www.last.fm/music/Manowar/+images

Signs that you are a hair metal band in the 21st century:

1. Does your lead singer have more hair than female pop stars?


2. Does your lead singer whip his hair more than female pop stars?


3. Does the freaking music video start with the entire band rhythmically headbanging / hairwhipping to each drumbeat before the song even starts?


4. Is your lead singer actually wearing a t-shirt with the band's logo on it? No, seriously, I can't tell. Is he? That's messed up.


5. Is every other shot composed primarily of your guitarist's crotch?

Its not Heavy Metal, its Hair Metal.

Would you like to ride Rosebud through the pages of a fifteen year old's 80's hair metal's World History notebook? Yes, please.

With an exception or two, hair metal blew.
