Remember those satanic acronyms for '80s metal/hard rock bands?

Not band name,but Ozzy’s song S.A.T.O. I always heard it stood for…

Satan Arrives Thru Ozzy

A hidden Satanic meaning in Black Sabbath, huh? :dubious:

Rob “Zounds! Our Mummylike Beastial Invasions Escalate”

(Finding M undead is hard)

Our preacher said it was “Satan’s Answer to Ozzy”

This is kind of a hijack, but I still cannot understand why or how the band **Rush **was ever, in any way, shape or form lumped in with Metal bands by anyone! The are the quintessential 70s prog band, artsy-fartsy, Canadian, concept-album prone etc. A few of their songs have a hard rock edge, but Metal?!? Are you kidding?!

You think the fundamentalist nutjobs who come up with this care about such distinctions?

EDIT: doh, ninja’d!

ÖTTÖ!

When asked about the band’s name Lawless has avoided giving a straight answer; in one interview he answered, “We Ain’t Sure, Pal.” That’s funny.

LOL.

The “S” has to stand for suicide in there somewhere…something like Just Allow Me Endless Suicide…something something…

Asmodel + Belial Beget the Anti-christ.

Not a joke. Well, not MY joke at any rate. My parents once got a pamphlet about devil-worship in “rock & roll” and this was actually one of the acronyms they claimed were real.

How about devious Christian acronyms?

Nitpick: S.A.T.O. wasn’t a Black Sabbath song

This is a joke about another poster, not a musician. This seems like a fun-enough topic that I’d be willing to overlook the zombie thing, but I’m going to close this if people break the rules.

I once seen a picture of Blackie Lawless wearing leopard print spandex with a caption that read W.A.S.P “Wears Animals Silly Patterns”

Well there is this logo.

It looks like a naked toddler frightened by Texaco.

Getting mad about Rush using a 5-pointed star (not even a real pentagram!) reminds me of either: “edgy” metal bands trying to be “evil”/busybody Christian moralists complaining about the eeeeevul Satan cross.

…but of course that’s not wrong, considering it’s most associated with the most demonic faith on the planet.
