thats a weird thing to come to

[QUOTE=guitrguy;16055718]I thought he was 'the rapist'[/QUOTE]

No, that was their drummer Dave Holland, who ironically was the drummer on albums such as [I]Point of Entry[/I] and [I]Ram It Down[/I]. Oh, and [I]Screaming For Vengeance[/I].

[QUOTE=LostChild;16055716]Rings a bell. Was in Judas Priest?[/QUOTE]

Yes, and Iced Earth most recently.

oh ok, I knew it was one of them.

Is the irony in the fact that a man referred to as The Rapist would play on albums called Ram It Down and Point of Entry?

*shudders* That was harsh.

He was never referred to as The Rapist until he stood trial a few years back for statutory and attempted rape.

I still find the unintentional wordplay ironic.

That's not 'ironic'

That's quite simply 'congruous'

I'm youuuur turbboooo loooverr!
:rolleyes:

I like when people pronounce it Pyoolitzer.
Pronounce has "pronoun" in it.

congruous is quite a powerful word i haven't heard lately

Yes, but there's no [i]irony[/i] at all

Irony requires some kind of contradiction

Playing on the albums [i]Ram It Down[/i] and [i]Point of Entry[/i] and later rape convictions are quite frankly in accord, as is Rob Halford's homosexuality

Google.com says it was 2004.

This thread is getting fagged up like nobody's business.

It's getting to be too late to not ponder random, trivial subjects philosophically.

No, irony isn't quite as straight-laced as that.

The irony is that he played on albums with such suggestive titles, only to be found out to be acting in a similar manner to those titles later on. If he had been called "The Rapist" all along, it would have been fitting or "congruous" as you called it.

It kind of is.


Jason: For some reason I though it was last year.

it's too late to trivialize

it's toooo laaaaaaaaaaate

All hail Google! All hail Google!

@ other post, How is that ironic?

I thought the irony was that it was on those particular recording when the rapist played.

lol what

Believe me, you can do it. It's all I ever do.

There is no incongruity between playing suggestive music and then somehow acting on the themes, whether or not he was called 'The Rapist' at the time

Hence no irony

Riva - How is that ironic?[/QUOTE]

Irony is more than simple sarcasm. Irony can be sardonic and mocking as well.

This is the simplest form of irony, the one you are thinking about.

But I doubt he had much input on naming albums.

Yes, but I still fail to see the irony

It's an oft-abused term

[QUOTE=LostChild;16055816]Believe me, you can do it. It's all I ever do.[/QUOTE]

and by philosophical, you mean not really?

Some what pseudo-philosophically. But still looking at alternate true ways to perceive meaningless things.

rofl

then there is no truth to be had.

I like to force everything I see into some kind math or CS context
