> that would make even Slipknot blush." Gene Simmons' Tongue continued that

Anyone notice that SEVAS TRA, the title of their album, is Art saves backwards. Interesting.

I'm going to creat a hybrid of Jay-z's black album and Metallica's black album. I'd call it "The Really Black Album". I'd be DJ Azzipecirpflah.

I apologize. I'm writing a Midterm for a speech class, and I'm extremely bored.
