Some people say my love cannot be true
Please believe me my love and I'll show you
I will give you those things you thought unreal
The sun the moon the stars all bear my seal
Insane lyrics from Sabbath, so glad I managed to be in the presence of the greatest guitarist of all time, Mr Tony Iommi, on Black Sabbath's 13 tour, what a show, I can still remember Ozzy running up to where I was and telling me to get my hands in the air, although, not as polite as that, hahaha! Can't wait until Ozzy visits for his final tour!

You have to remember that sometimes there are 13 year old children on the SK forum doing research and stuff for school. The Mods there have always been very fair about adhering to the rules. It doesn't matter how mature someone might be, the site is still reflective on Mr. King as owner of the site, and care and respect for the feelings of everyone should be considered.
It would do kids some good if they listened to Sabbath! Joking aside though I understand what you mean. But if that's the case then the teachers or parents are at fault, kids that young should not be checking out Stephen King books, I cant think of a single novel that would be suitable for a child of that age, but then again Steve doesn't really write for that audience. Regardless of what people say, books are like anything else, you should or shouldn't be allowed with it as a child. Imagine if a kid was to pick up IT? I can't listen to Sabbath very much. Aside from the fact that I don't really like them, Ozzy's voice is sort of hypnotic to me, and once it's inside my head, it stays for days. I like some of his solo stuff, though. I read Nightshift when I was 12. Found it on my Mom's nightstand. I've been a constant reader ever since. Maybe my family was different. We enjoyed trying to scare the bejeezus out of each other, jumping out from doors, sneaking up behind one another, etc. I can remember watching Night Gallery with Mom when I was in 3rd or 4th grade, and when I was little, my favorite stories were the raw head and bloody bones stories my Grandma told me when I spent the night at her house.

Its very testosterone fuelled, Sabbath I mean. Most people in the rock world actually dislike Sabbath, take a band like Guns N' Roses, a massive band who always gets plaudits from music critics, fans, media in general, Sabbath is the opposite, despised by the media, more famous for Ozzy's actions than the actual music. But the funny thing is that Sabbath would do just as much business as GNR. Proof what media hate doesn't always work. Man, some of the Rolling Stone magazine reviews for Sabbath were horrible at the time, but did it stop the albums doing well? Nope. Funny how Rolling Stone is near bankruptcy and Sabbath appreciation is only getting more profound! Ozzy's voice was the perfect fit for Sabbath, like a condemned man, brilliant. Here's hoping they do a final show, they're talking about performing at the 2022 Commonwealth Games in Birmingham, their home town, and I so hope that they do. As for when you discovered Papa King, I was the same, so I get your meaning. The short story collections are fine, but some novels are a bit iffy. Weirdly enough, I have never found Stephen King all that scary, I know he is the master of Horror and Suspense and all, but I've always found those who preceded King to be far scarier, like the Edger Allan Poe's, the nineteenth century horror writers. But when you think about it, Poe isn't really a horror writer, he writes about mental health, and horror based in fact is the best kind. I appreciate Papa King because his stories are entertaining and engaging as heck!

I remember Dana not letting me post a Black Sabbath song, I think it was for Sabbath Bloody Sabbath, and because it had a girl being possessed by a demon on the cover it was inappropriate! Well, Sabbath aint for everyone, hahaha. But seriously though, you would expect a mature person to be on a SK related forum, if they can't handle stuff like that then they shouldn't be able to handle SK books, know what I mean?

Rainbow were superb, well the Dio led Rainbow was, I did like the Graham Bonnet fronted album Down To Earth but it was basically pop rock, then the Joe Lynn Turner stuff was even poppier (is that even a word?). Blackmore is brilliant but I think he's a control freak, it's his way or the highway which would account for the constant line up changes.

Does anyone have nay thoughts on the band Rainbow? 1½ hit wonder. I don't think its fair to judge a band on how many hits they had. Rainbow had more than 1 1/2 hits anyway, maybe in the US, but the US has always been sceptical of UK bands for whatever reason. Rainbow with Dio basically created Power Metal, where they added fantastical lyrics to metal songs, plus Blackmore added classical influence to the overall sound, creating neo-classical metal. Plus, they played arena for most of their career, and Blackmore is the most influenced guitarist for guitarists. Come on Dio, I know things between you and Blackmore are bitter, but give yourself some credit!
