The account of the siege of Masada was related to Josephus by two women who survived the suicide by hiding inside a cistern along with five children, and repeated Eleazar ben Ya'ir's exhortations to his followers, prior to the mass suicide, verbatim to the Romans. Because Judaism strongly discourages suicide, Josephus reported that the defenders had drawn lots and killed each other in turn, down to the last man, who would be the only one to actually take his own life.
for a split second after Zorn came in around 3:08 his licks didn't really fit tastefully . . . just for a split second though . . . it's good to know even masters screw up . . . that's imo anyway though
@smegghiggins - mezzo is a music television, and yes, they play a lot of awesome shit, too bad that I don`t have it.
Idalah-Abal really r0x, check out a version from At The Mountains of Madness LP if you wanna hear ALL the power of Electric Masada, especially Zorn`s solo.
