Egypt's heavy metal scene emerging - Yahoo! News: "CAIRO, Egypt - The music was loud and the tattooed fans were wild, dancing and swaying in flashing strobe lights to the crashing sounds of heavy metal songs. Suddenly, the music stopped. The band leader grasped the mike and announced: 'It's prayer time.'
No one left to pray. Everyone stood by the stage and waited, as the band paused its music while a nearby mosque began the call to prayer from a loudspeaker. Then the music resumed."
The prayer time bit sort of reminded me of when we used to have rock bands at Baptits(1) youth meetings. Except they would have made us actually pray.
In other news Sebastian Bach, Lita Ford and Quiet Riot announced a tour of the Middle East, as soon as Lita and Sebastian find a burka that fits.
(1)Started out as a typo, then I decided I liked it. From now on all Baptists will be called Baptits.
