[QUOTE=HeavyRiva]It's a war chant. They have many different hakas, and it is a common form of verse used by most polynesian tribes.[/QUOTE]

Yeah, I know. I think I pointed that out a couple of posts after the post you quoted :)

I've heard people argue that the All Blacks (and other, less well-known, teams) should be banned from performing their haka before a game, because as a war chant it's essentially them promising to kill the opposing team.

Of course, these people should be burned at the stake, for attempting to make the game criminally less interesting.

[QUOTE=Riva]
I knew the meaning once... It's like: cloud burn, fire rain, we will win![/QUOTE]

I'll admit I spent quite a lot of today attempting to look up lyrics and meanings for it.

[QUOTE=Riva]Have you seen them doing it? It's very impressive.[/QUOTE]

Not actually in person, no.

[QUOTE=Steerpike]
I'm a little lost. What song are you referring to?[/QUOTE]

The haka..the thing the All Blacks perform before a game.

If you're still lost, I can upload my audio file of it. Tis only lil'.

Us Aussies are honour bound to laugh at it, but it is a great start to the game. And besides, we sing Waltzing Matilda, which is really a story of murder and theft, and a small bit of animal cruelty. So, I guess it balances out.

Fiji has the best haka, just for their crazy theatrics.

[QUOTE=ICB]We're doing pretty good, thanks for asking... got three songs down, working on more riffs.... Not QUITE ready to play shows, but can't wait for that... but we're defenitely going to play out of state a lot (Missouri, Illinois, Ohio, Indiana), since there's not a lot of local venues here for metal bands. My drummer and I wrote a pretty badass riff that reminds me of the song "Black Sabbath" and recorded it onto my laptop with Soundrecorder ( :p ), I could upload that for y'all if you like...might take a while with this dial-up. You know how this computer is...constantly screwing me over :( .

Haha, I looked at my usertitle and thought I was banned.

ZING![/QUOTE]

I'll have to hear it when I get back from Germany.

I'm uploading two videos. One of the complete Haka, though I apologise for some bad audio, and one with Tonga's siprotao and the Kiwi haka going simulateously.

Awesome. I'll look forward to downloading those tomorrow :)


Despite the lack of response from Steerpike (or anyone), I started uploading the audio file I have as I made the offer, just in case the answer was a yes. So rather than let it go to waste;

It's only little. (0.98MB or something). Hopefully it actually is what it claimed to be all those years ago.

Well I'm back from my first day at Subway and it's great to work there. It's really laid back because not too many people come in there, but it's still not boring. Plus the people are fun too.

Exactly why that place is cool aside from their food. Good to hear the first day was good!

Pardon my ignorance, but before I dowload the videos, who are the All Blacks?

[QUOTE=Steerpike]Pardon my ignorance, but before I dowload the videos, who are the All Blacks?[/QUOTE]

Depart, foul heathen! Thou hast no right to be in the presence of the rest of the world. The All Blacks are the most righteous team of mine own country's avowed ally/enemy, New Zealand. They play a sport so noble it is beyond the foul, embittered mind of Americans. Rugby Union!

(Of which your country has an incredibly bad team).

[QUOTE=Dragunov]Those were awesome! Do all rugby matches start out like that?[/QUOTE]

Only teams with a cultural history of war chants, sadly.

[QUOTE=HeavyRiva]Only teams with a cultural history of war chants, sadly.[/QUOTE]

I see. :upset:

This is pretty interesting, I think I'll look for more videos/information.

Ah. If it's any consolation, I never kept up with any sports, including my own country's.

I wish there was more rugby in America. :upset:

Oh, and I don't keep up with sports either. I had to ask here about who won the NBA Championship.

[QUOTE=Dragunov]I see. :upset:

Basically, the Polynesian cultures: So Fiji, Tonga, Samoa, New Zealand, etc.

But yeah, the lyrics are quite aggressive.

I think the cloud burning one is another culture. Oops.

Alex: Download those videos, anyway. Great stuff. :)

Jake: Download those videos. :D

I'm going to bump them for this page.

I would, but you know. DIALUP?

:upset:

Anyways, there's like a million mxers on AIM, so you know where to go. :cool:

Come on, it's 3 and 11mb respectively. They aren't that big at all.

So, what do we all think of the videos?

From ICB:
TrevorRls: **** DAMMIT, DUDE. TELL EVERYONE ON THE FORUMS (since I can't) THAT IF THEY DON'T HEAR FROM ICB FOR A WHIL ON THE FORUMS IT'S BECAUSE I SHOT THE ****ING COMPUTER AND FOR SOME REASON IT DOESN'T ****ING WORK WITH A HOLE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SCREEN. This thing is pissing me off.

"All Blacks" my a[size=2]ss, talk about fradulent advertising.[/size]

Wow, some one just posted p[B][I][/B][/I]orn pics of their brother's girlfriend in the Hardcore / Metalcore Community Thread.


You didn't hear from me, though.

No more pictures. Now I wanna see them :upset:

I really should have saved them. One person did, and you could ask him.

[QUOTE=RippingNameChangeAttack]I'll have to hear it when I get back from Germany.[/QUOTE]

Yes, you will.

This %^$*$($&#(ing *&^%$da^^ computer is pissing me off. Seriously. I'm going to hire a ninja assasain to kill it in its sleep.

And.....Joe's in. I went to sleep not 3 hours ago, but at least i feel slightly better now. Last night was the most drunk i have got in my entire life, so much so i had to make myself sick when i got back. Thats the first time i've been actually sick due to over-drinking. Ouch. We were also in a club/bar thing and i saw this 'hard-man' from my school, and he comes upto me and goes :

'I know your not 18, im going to get my Dad who's the bouncer here. If he doesn't beat you up, i will.'

Basically it was just this.

/Me runs.

I hurried out of there, trying not to look too scared, and the three girls i was with kinda caught on and folllowed about 30 seconds later. That was really scary. But i was wearing my Transformers t-shirt in this pub called The Orange Tree and one of the bartenders complimented me on it. But it was more like :

'Dude, you t-shirt is totally rad.'

Good times.

Hey Joe, like my avatar?

Back from Disneyland, it was fun.

Space Mountain was excellent, it was worth a 40 minute wait.

Nice, Joe and Mr. Blue Sky. I think.

I have done...nothing tonight :-\

Jake : You are dead. I will come to your house and rip your little fúcking head off.

/Steals.

Blue : Firstly, whats your real name. Secondly, how much does Space Mountain rock! \m/ You went to Paris, amirite?

Ray : Unlucky. Go do something. Like play basketball. Don't you blacks like doing that?

/Stereotyping.

If I go out to play basketball at 2:30 in the morning in Chicago, I'm gonna get shot.

[QUOTE=Arucard]Blue : Firstly, whats your real name. Secondly, how much does Space Mountain rock! \m/ You went to Paris, amirite?[/QUOTE]

Aaron. haha, third Aaron in the Community thread, the first two being KingofDudes and Magicbus. It was really good, the way they presented it was just.... wow. And I've never been to Paris before in my life.

I meant the Disney Land in France. But i'll take that as a no, and yes, it is awesome.

What do you guys (at least the two of you here) think of The Arcade Fire? My girlfriend likes them alot, and from what I've heard they're okay.

I have unfortunately not heard them but I have been looking out for them for a while

[QUOTE=Joe]Jake : You are dead. I will come to your house and rip your little fúcking head off. [/QUOTE]

Now picture this: One day, you're just sittin' at home minding your own business, perhaps masturbating to madey's posts because that's what Jake would do ( :p ), and you hear your doorbell ring. "Who could that be?" you ask yourself, because no one is around because you're a lonely guy and you post on MX all the time. You open the door and you see a skinny, drunken English kid with a look of rage in his eyes that will put the fear of God in you. "Why, hello, there, no we are not interested in Jehovah, sorry" you try to tell him. Next thing you know, the skinny English Beatle kid is jumping on you, wrapping his small hands (you know what they say about small hands, they have better grip.) around your neck and letting out a savage yell as he rips your little head off, and dances around as Japanese Pop music blares from out of nowhere.

Moral of the story: England sucks.

[QUOTE=Ray]If I go out to play basketball at 2:30 in the morning in Chicago, I'm gonna get shot.[/QUOTE]

Don't you black people wear bullet proof vests all the time in case something like that happens????

/also stereotypes.

NP: Michael Jackson- I used to be Black.


I believe I better hit the hay. I don't think I'm making too much sense. Good morning, y'all. See you tonight or whenever I wake up. Or not.

Mornin' all

ollie's general catching up post:

It's fine to be a multiple fanboy

I am a cradle, maiden and Iced earth fanboy, also borderline with mayhem and cannibal corpse and I do retaliate to people flaming them

radiohead are cool

The Haka is also cool, I used to be a rugby player but gave it up when my school team kinda dissolved, I used to play at lock...

Bart- Gateshead? very cool, all my family come from there, my Grandma lives in Lowfell and my sister lives in springwell village (technically sunderland but meh)
