What about HITLER, i geuss slipnot really must have pissed him off big time.
I think hitler didn't like anything at all.
Maby it was some jewish jazz guitarist that made him do what he has done.
People will remain funny no matter what, i geuss we will have to live with that.

I'm all for what you guys are saying here! Glad to see like-minded peeps who appreciate a parent's role in a kid's life. So many parents are neglecting their kids and think they're doing them a favour. That's why I'm hoping to be retired by the time we have kids -- so I can be there!
Awesome posts guys ?
NorioDS
And, while I can't take credit for the Slipknot ads (Amazon automatically picks 'em), AWESOME! ?

Damn those trends! ?
"Amazon made me buy the album which made me do it!" ?

Maybe the coding picks up on keywords in the conversation?
Maybe its my twisted sense of humour... but i find it hellava funny.
Here we are debating the role of parents vs music and who to blame and Amazon is trying to sell us the exact debated cause!

Just browsed over that article earlier... a few good points there from local muso's

Amazon does a couple of things... It checks the keywords on the page, it checks your buying patterns and the general vibe of the site you're on.
So, for me, it shows a business book every now and again. It also shows lots of Satch stuff. For every other member, it could be totally different.
It's also a learning algorithm. No one bought the slipknot albums, so they stopped showing up. (For me in any case)
Very smart people that work at Amazon! Respk!

Very interesting.....

Yeah man.. its realli good to see the local muso's representing..

Have to say it nevers ceases to amaze me how reckless and irresponsible journalists can be.
Hugo Louw of fearstrikes not much better either:
Hugo Louw of metal band FearStrike told The Times: “If you are down, then the music [lyrics] will work with your mind. You need to be mentally strong to listen to that kind of music.”

Yeah, well the journos are trying to sell papers and Hugo's trying to sell CDs and tickets himself. "Mentally strong" indeed... Asshat.
