God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen (Metal Xmas)

They asked me "My son, what devil sound has thou brought upon this holy ground?". I said "Its Black Sabbath, not "Devil Sound"". The responded "Repent your sinful sound, else be cast out of this church" And I left. Just drove off. They were quite off-put....

How'd they know it was Black Sabbath....

pffft... lame as fuck human beings.

That is awesome!!

I'm christian, and I dont care. This song kicks ass!! its unfortunate that the church thinks metal is evil because is so heavy and dark. they kicked me out for having a black sabbath cd playing in my car when i showed up............

Are you serious?!?! Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Ozzy a catholic or some other sect of Christianity? If so, that just proves them ignorant - the Christians who kicked you out of church I mean. And that's very hypocritical of them too. As I'm sure you know, Jesus Christ preached love for and acceptance of others....so this kinda shows how authoritarian and hypocritical religious institutions can be, especially in regards to heavy metal.

oh, i agree. Ozzy (and Tony) are both catholic i beliveve. they started wearing those big silver crosses to try and "ward off" satanic groups. The church does all kinds of hypocritical stuff. thats why i dont go anymore. i practice my own private worship. If you listen to the lyrics to N.I.B., satan actually becomes a good "person" from falling in love, Sabbath almost promoted christianity. A lot of lyrics denounce satan as an evil being like in black sabbath "oh no,no,no please god help me"...

Yeah, it is unfortunate that good metal is plagued with the "Satanic crowd" even though Heavy Metal really isn't about promoting Satanism. Sure, I love black metal and death metal, it's GREAT music, but when I tell people that they get the false impression that I'm Satanic. It is also unfortunate that Christianity has a bad rap because most authoritarian Church goers (the ones who hate gays, are pro war, cheat on their husbands/wives, etc.) give good, honest Christians a bad name.

yes, the world is an annoying place. For every good thing, there is one more bad thing.......

Well, I guess that's just how the cookie crumbles. lol, yeah, that observation is very accurate.

OH MY GOD!
How have i never heard of this album?!?!?

It sounds to cool to be real!
