[DJSpinoza]

Best Christian rock group ever!!

[JoshuaRFox]

@DJSpinoza ?

[DJSpinoza]

@JoshuaRFox What are you saying? Okay not quite Jars of Clay but still.

[JoshuaRFox]

@DJSpinoza I mean they're not a christian rock group... they may personally be christian but not a "christian band".

[DJSpinoza]

@DJSpinoza Don't say that Joshua, I've been following them all this time - "monkey on my back makes me act like that" how does one explain all this religious metaphor?

[Thevalleyoftar]

@DJSpinoza ... not christian at all there bud. Having a monkey on ones back is the most common metaphor for having a drug or alcohol addiction. You're looking for crosses in the wrong place man.

[DJSpinoza]

@Thevalleyoftar You sure ? Well all I know is our prayer group regularly sing Great God Almighty by the Kills, during worship. 

[Thevalleyoftar]

@DJSpinoza You sing "Great God Almighty, been thinking all morning. Great God Almighty, been thinking all day. Lord I'm not satisified. I want hell fire. I must do you wrong. I'm not satisfied." ?? That's their song. Absolutely positive about the metaphor. Also positive that they're not a christian band, with how much Alison drinks on stage, the fact that they have a song called "Fuck the People".. listen to their music.. they're not a christian group.

[MasKistershi]

@Thevalleyoftar -That little exchange is soo funny! I wonder if their Christian group will keep singing the kills songs at their meetings now that you've enlightened them. I can imagine the next meeting where they tell the others that they have had a slight misinterpretation of the lyrics and maybe they should find a new song. Ha!

Mind you its rather cute to think someone could have thought that singing about a monkey on one's back was a religious metaphor! Classic.

i'm going to start a band and call it Captchka. or whatever the fuck those things are called...

[nomadr100]

grr i get so fed up with watching that spinning circle, maybe i will produce some tee shirts with the words "my fav youtube video" and the endless spinning circle in the middle !!!, youtube was great when it first came out, you could watch all sorts, now its just an endless spinning circle with no content, oh well at least when you refresh you will add another hit,, cos thats the bottom dollar,,,,,,,,

[estebanosullivan]

@nomadr100 Bro, I think your ISP sucks.

[nomadr100]

@estebanosullivan yep everyone blames the ISP, i am on 10meg dowload speed,no probs downloading anywhere else.thanks ,

[estebanosullivan]

@nomadr100 If everyone blames your ISP then I have a feeling it isn't youtube's fault. Maybe flash?

Either way, updates aside, youtube's behavior hasn't changed much at all for me in the past few year.

I do like that t-shirt idea, though. I might have to steal it.

[avedic]

@nomadr100 Yeah, I gotta agree, it loads fine for me. Never had a problem. Sorry you have to wait for your Kills fix. That would suck. :(

[cmeyrick1]

J&M Chain? Really nice - heard it on All Watched Over...they ought to release all the music from that documentary on a CD.

[makky123]

All watched over by machines of loving grace.

[NilSatis1983]

FÚCKING 100% TUNAGE

[thegirlfromatlanta09]

I keep coming back to this song and more than two years later it still gets me. Hits my heart.

[ProblemChild278]

@juve9188 j c doesn t really care

[Guillotineman]

no need for anything to enhance perception when the kills are drilling into my soul, raping and pillaging, wreaking havoc and sowing devastation in their wake...

[weaselidiotu]

@Guillotineman man that was gay !!! haha

[weaselidiotu]

@Guillotineman :-*

[KR4Prez]

Where could one find a copy/download of this Black Session business?

[theonlyemperor14]

My favourite kills song, a mixture of the velvet underground and pure honest beauty, except the combination of alison and jamies voices makes it more emotional, and possibly more real then the vu, which isnt a very common thing.

[Apopoc]

@theonlyemperor14 Nothing is more "real" than the VU.

[playerfangitman]

lets wail and bleed,couple more people,thats all we need email me...

[hoorayforhipppos]

De battre mon coeur s'est arrete

[FlashingFountain]

The Kills are so good. I can't believe I JUST discovered them.

[ASIRA89]

@FlashingFountain so true ! my roomate listened to something really cool today so i asked "hey what band is this?!" and she said " the kills ! " i think i have to thank her somehow

[AlkaliEarthMetal]

The Beat That My Heart Skipped

[dgmaffi]

@mazdaisphahan you obviously haven't listened to any OTHER songs of theirs. Silly person saying stupid things, or is it the other way around?

[stadiumlovee]

[placebosoulmates]

@mazdaisphahan

[JuniperSprouts]

I saw them in Harare. Flippin' surprised my tits off!

[paranoid711]

[weaselidiotu]

@paranoid711 some guy told me it;s a baritone guitar.. dont know for sure though

[artistsandbox]

@dohertywatch vous comprenez les mots de cette chanson? (je suis American donc je me demandais comment les personnes d'un autre langue aiment la musique foreign. .vive les kills!! haha)

The beat my heart skipped - Classic film - and then they played this in it - couldn't believe it. Have loved the Kills since!!

[bobinacoffeeshop]

YES. what a film. what a song.

[choppedlogic]

It was featured only briefly, but I think it is the best expression of Tom and his...issues.

[HowlHimself]

There first album is more bluesy, but they all are great. Rape yo.
