Only realised yesterday

 

[nuke terrorist]

I wonder what tune Darth and those fly Stromtroopers were really grooving to.

John Peel's autobiography says his mother was in a relationship with the actor who
played Darth in his death scene at that time.

the Morbid Angel tune was funny. sounded like a nursery rhyme compared to their early stuff.

I think this pretty much says it all about modern music journalism really:

The album received mixed reviews from critics and generated a strong backlash from fans, many of whom were dissatisfied with the group's attempt to add an industrial element to the album.[11] Louisville Music News labeled the album a "failed experiment" and a "joke", and described Illud Divinum Insanus as Morbid Angel's St. Anger, in reference to the Metallica album.[13] Metal Injection gave the album 3/10 and described the album as "a joke" and an "overall bummer to listen to."[14] They criticised the lack of heavy, interesting guitarwork and Pete Sandoval's absence from the album, writing that "Instead, we’re left with fifty-six plodding minutes of (mostly) forgettable death metal and/or offensively terrible industrial metal." They also highlighted David Vincent's lyrics for particular criticism, describing them as "atrocious" and "pretty awful pretty much the entire time". Blabbermouth criticised the album, particularly for the programmed drums, and argued that even the four best tracks on the album sounded "uninspired and even if the band dumped blood, sweat and tears into these songs, that still wouldn't make up for the fact that a track like "Radikult" takes up space on the same album."[15]

Conversely, Phil Freeman of Allmusic said that while "those who love the band's earliest records...are bound to see Illud Divinum Insanus' experiments with industrial...as betrayals of everything the group once stood for", "many of the songs on Illud...are as raw and savage as anything the band's ever recorded", and that the album is "a left turn by a band that's already made many of them throughout its...career".[6] Metal Hammer gave 9/10, describing the album as "a twisted, confrontational masterpiece".[11] The album received praise before its release from artists including Mikael Åkerfeldt from Opeth, Anders Nyström from Katatonia and several other metal artists.[16] However, drummer Pete Sandoval disliked the album, saying, "I don't know why they did that with the DJs, they could've have [sic] just done a separate project without calling it a Morbid Angel album. That might have been better."[17] Sandoval was unable to contribute to the recording of Illud Divinum Insanus due to injuries, and later left the band entirely.[18]

Guitarist Trey Azagthoth calls the album "a confused effort", whose unfocused direction ultimately led to David Vincent's departure in 2015, and offers no apologies over the computerized beats and effects, with a comment about the song "Radikult", calling it "a silly song", "...I had nothing to do with that thing."[19]

David Vincent replaced Lemmy in Head Cat, for what it's worth

 

[GARYXKNIFEDX]

How the fuck do you replace Lemmy?

 

[prefuse]

He said "Lemmy have a go"

 

[prefuse]

David Prowse was also in a few Hammer films.

Here he is in one of their worst, The horror of Frankenstein. It's supposed to be a comedy....but it wasn't funny

The other two are much better, vampire Circus & Frankenstein & the monster from hell.
