SKYCLAD : Thinking Allowed?

[rovebeetle2]

lol it says "silent whales of the lunarcy" so they spelled the name wrong of the album that this isn't from

[moomin2468]

skyclad were one of the first band that i really started paying attention to the lyrics as a lot of wahat they sang about was about te planet and how the human race are fucking it up

[WyrmvaterGlaurung]

saw them in `92 in germany on tour with manowar, they were the real kings of metal that night, prost

[itookallthenames]

Martin gets angry in a library 1.45. awesome. we need more angry people in libraries. now go read some books. martin did and his lyrics kicked everyone else's ass.

[MorganKai]

the singer looks like Hansi Kursch

[MorganKai]

with a moustache XD

[estelinha0000]

geente muito ruim...

[relworp69]

I didn't know Skyclad had a video! They were one of my favorites when Martin Walkier was still in the band.

[Alterofmadness]

They had some vids - for example to "Inequality Street"! But you're right, without Martin they're way not as good!

[rythmhawk]

THIS song is NOT from the "silent whales of lunar sea" but from Johan's Ark......

[Spectre500]

Yeah ... on the video for "Emerald" it says the song is from "Prince of the Poverty Line". :P I guess whoever broadcast these videos on whatever TV channel this was didn't know their Skyclad...

[rythmhawk]

Imagine how stupid some people are......Another underated band

[Bridge1961]

Fucking AWESOME !!

Always loved Sabbat and Skyclad (the metal period) a lot !!

[PennyDreadful1]

Skyclad is metal........

[CynikalDog]

Skyclad's had some acoustic periods, but one listen to A Semblance of Normality will reveal the band as metal still. Maybe not thrashy like early 'Clad, but still metal.

[PennyDreadful1]

They have more influences from pre NWOBHM metal nowadays.

[quiksilver207]

I saw fucking Sabbat live with Walkyier, insane show

[rubyncharm]

awesome stuffs

[FlamesofNibelheim]

Haha, not only did the video get the album wrong, they even SPELLED it wrong! I guess that's the price of releasing an album every year for ten straight years.

This is my personal favorite Skyclad song, and it only makes me sad that Walkyier left. Thankfully, it seems Sabbat might've reformed, and that's great news, so it evens out.

[usernameblabla]

Actually, the misspelling isn't all that wrong afterall... I recall from an interview with a Skyclad member that the album title is somewhat just another play with words as with many other songs/titles. With english accent it supposed to sound like "Silent Wails of Lunacy", just like "Oui Avant Garde A Chance" would be heard as "We haven't Got A Chance"... "Vintage WHine" (Vintage Wine), "Little Miss Take" (Little Mistake) etc.

[PennyDreadful1]

And of course this song title is also a pun "Thinking Allowed" (Thinking Aloud).

[usernameblabla]

Never thought of this one, thanks! ;)

[neildonoghue]

alot of word play in the titles yeah...great band!!!

[salemorchid]

but sabbat reformed for cradle of filths last tour and are still playing live at blood stock this year and I think they played at hard rock hell

[Ascyltos]

And at Wacken in 2007. That was pretty ace.

Although Martin's a lot shorter than I thought he would be...

[wil2173]

yes its martin Walkyier, who is/was in Sabbat

[olderoger]

Yes it is. Martin Walkyre (not sure on the spelling on the last name)

[ComicsAroundTheBay]

Is that the dude from Sabbat?

[bleedingheart2000]

yes
