    Default Punk Nintendo Fanboys?

    So I saw one of MSI's album and it's a cross made of controllers, and what caught me was the Power Glove? are they crucifying video games? Well I can't get this image to work so here's a link to Google Images of it : /

    I dunno what they're on about, but that's the Lutheran version of the Christian symbol, I think. Giveaway being the cords organized into rose petals.

    MSI are their own weird-ass style of industrial punk. One of the things they're known for is using retro gaming noises and samples in their music; primarily Atari and C64.

    The name of the album you're referring to is "You'll Rebel To Anything(as long as it's not challenging)", by the way. It's one of their better ones.

    MSI is a fantastic band. If they've offended either A) The religious community or B) Game fans or, indeed, C) people who hate both, then they've likely done what they set out to do.

    Get a load of the juxtaposed CX40 joysticks at the top of the cross. Positioned like...possibly...(gasp!)...the horns on the devil's head!?!? .

    Being a member of both A) and B), for my part I find this particular effort slightly amusing and a little more thought-provoking than most attempts at symbol desecration. If they're trying to offend, then, somebody tell them to try harder.

    Wow, people here are actually talking about a decent band.

    So many folks that I know that are into classic gaming tend to just listen to novelty music like Weird Al and They Might Be Giants, and video game, anime and John Williams soundtracks. This is refreshing.

    You're still talking about Mindless Self Indulgence right?


    If I may quote-

    "Bitches"

    bitches love me cause they know that I can rock
    bitches love me cause they know that I can rhyme
    bitches love me cause they know that I can fuck
    bitches love me cause they know that I'm on time
    throughout the projects
    done - done - this is how it should be done
    this is how it should be done
    this style style style done
    pow - muthafucka - pow
    bitches love me
    love me love me love me love me
    bitches love me
    bitches love me cause they know that I can rock
    done - done - this is how it should be done
    this is how it should be done
    this style style style done



    Hmmm... not novelty. No sir.

    This is the internet, and sometimes my sarcasm detector is a little off... but you were being ironic right?

    frankenstien girls is their best album and even then it's nothing special

    though Clarissa and I Hate Jimmy Page are good songs.
