Whereas what i hear is musical courage on a grand scale. I just wanted to say, about STh, that, instead of thinking about development in terms of time signature, you think of it as the development of life, or the evolution of civilization ….

Yes, you cannot write about Zep now unless you first read skim? Devolution, tho, i would say…. The snare is tuned so low that it hits at around the same fundamental or maybe harmonic freq that the bass drum is at. Depending on the quality of your playback source, the whole song could sound like it is in a full time feel, and this is what messed me up for years until I really listened to the drums!

My first understanding of this song was totally wrong because I just thought I was hearing a snare on 2 and 4. But when I listened to it with headphones for the first time, I realized that it was a bass drum on 1 and a snare on 3. How does that happen? Depending on how you want to count it of course and depending on wherever beat 1 is actually supposed to be. My point is, every once in a while a song comes along and it can be listened to in different ways to different people!

I have also read that JB would spend some time each afternoon tuning his drums according to the acoustics of the room in which the show was taking place. The 9s are the active ingredient in the strangeness of this section; I repent of my complacent reference to 5s in my first comment. I hope someone understands what im talking about haha. Just my 2 cents about it, at least thats how i understand the song. Talk about over complicating something — there is no pulse that would suggest a bar of three at all. I am genuinely puzzled why anyone would want to write this as two odd bars when there is a clear pulse throughout.

Black dogs have been reported from almost all the counties of England , the exceptions being Middlesex and Rutland. A Barghest or Barguest is said to roam the Snickelways and side roads of York , preying on passersby, and has also been seen near Clifford's Tower.

One night on his way there he encountered a sinister black dog, and every night thereafter until he brought a friend along with him.

When the dog appeared again he attacked it using the yoke of his milk pails as a weapon, but when he did so the dog vanished and the man fell senseless to the ground. He was carried home alive but remained speechless and paralytic for the rest of his life. Near the town of Lyme Regis in Dorset stood a farmhouse that was haunted by a black dog.

The dog fled to the attic where it leaped out through the ceiling, and when the master struck the spot where the dog vanished he discovered a hidden cache of gold and silver. The dog was never again seen indoors, but to this day it continues to haunt at midnight a lane which leads to the house called Haye Lane or Dog Lane.

Dogs who are allowed to stray in this area late at night have often mysteriously disappeared. The Black Dog of Newgate has been said to haunt the Newgate Prison for over years, appearing before executions. According to legend, in a scholar was sent to the prison for witchcraft, but was killed and eaten by starving prisoners before he was given a trial.

The dog was said to appear soon after, and although the terrified men killed their guards and escaped, the beast is said to have hunted them down and killed them wherever they fled. He was also referred to as the Black Dog of Newgate, but though he enjoyed frightening people he never did any serious harm.

In Westmorland and adjacent parts of Yorkshire there was a belief in Capelthwaite, who could take the form of any quadruped but usually appeared as a large black dog.

He took his name from the barn in which he lived called Capelthwaite Barn, near Milnthorpe. He performed helpful services for the people on the farm such as rounding up the sheep, but toward outsiders he was very spiteful and mischievous until one day he was banished by a vicar. The Church Grim guards a local Christian church and its attached churchyard from those who would profane them including thieves, vandals, witches, and warlocks. Sometimes the grim will toll the bells at midnight before a death occurs. At funerals the presiding clergyman may see the dog looking out from the churchtower and determine from its "aspect" whether the soul of the departed was bound for Heaven or Hell.

Another tradition states that when a new churchyard was opened the first man buried there had to guard it against the Devil. To save a human soul from such a duty a black dog was buried in the north part of the churchyard as a substitute. Freybug is the name of an alleged Black Dog appearing in an English manuscript from In fact, the earliest known mention of the Freybug are the books "Giants, Monsters, and Dragons" and "Spirits, Fairies, Gnomes, and Goblins" by Carol Rose, who never specified the English manuscript, so the Freybug may be made up by Rose.

Gabriel Hounds are dogs with human heads that fly high through the air, and are often heard but seldom seen. They sometimes hover over a house, and this is taken as a sign that death or misfortune will befall those who dwell within. They are also known as Gabriel Ratchets ratchet being a hound that hunts by scent , Gabble Retchets, and "sky yelpers", and like Yeth Hounds they are sometimes said to be the souls of unbaptised children. Popular conceptions of the Gabriel Hounds may have been partially based on migrating flocks of wild geese when they fly at night with loud honking.

In other traditions their leader Gabriel is condemned to follow his hounds at night for the sin of having hunted on Sunday much like the Cornish Dando , and their yelping cry is regarded as a death omen similar to the birds of folklore known as the Seven Whistlers. Guardian Black Dogs refer to those relatively rare black dogs that are neither omens of death nor causes of it. Instead they guide lost travellers and protect them from danger. Stories of this type became more widespread starting around the early s.

In different versions of one popular tale a man was journeying along a lonely forest road at night when a large black dog appeared at his side and remained there until the man left the forest. On his return journey through the wood the dog reappeared and did the same as before.

There are many tales of ghostly black dogs in Lincolnshire collected by Ethel Rudkin for her publication Folklore.

Such a creature, known locally as Hairy Jack, is said to haunt the fields and village lanes around Hemswell , and there have been reported sightings throughout the county from Brigg to Spalding. Rudkin, who claimed to have seen Hairy Jack herself, formed the impression that black dogs in Lincolnshire were mainly of a gentle nature, and looked upon as a spiritual protector. In Wakefield , [13] Leeds , Pudsey and some areas of Bradford the local version of the legend is known as Padfoot. A death omen like others of its type, it may become visible or invisible and exhibits certain characteristics that give it its name.

It is known to follow people with a light padding sound of its paws, then appearing again in front of them or at their side.

It can utter a roar unlike the voice of any known animal, and sometimes the trailing of a chain can be heard along with the pad of its feet. One story tells of a man who tried to kick the Padfoot and found himself dragged by it through hedge and ditch all the way to his home and left under his own window. Although usually described as black, another tale concerns a man who encountered a white Padfoot. He attempted to strike it with his stick but it passed completely through, and he ran home in fear.

Soon afterward he fell sick and died. The Skriker or Shrieker [14] of Lancashire and Yorkshire is a death omen like many others of its type, but it also wanders invisibly in the woods at night uttering loud, piercing shrieks. It may also take visible form as a large black dog with enormous paws that make a splashing sound when walking, like "old shoes walking in soft mud".

For this reason the Skriker is also known as Trash, another word for trudge or slog. According to Brewer's Dictionary of Phrase and Fable , the Yeth Hound is a headless dog, said to be the spirit of an unbaptised child, that rambles through the woods at night making wailing noises.

The church grew dark as it padded up and down the aisle, as if looking for someone. The dog then vanished as suddenly as it had appeared. In Lower Brittany there are stories of a ghost ship crewed by the souls of criminals with hellhounds set to guard them and inflict on them a thousand tortures.

A New England black dog story comes from southeastern Massachusetts in the area known, by some, as the Bridgewater Triangle. In the mids, the town of Abington was, reportedly, terrorized by a large, black dog that caused a panic.

    A local fireman saw it attacking ponies. Local police unsuccessfully searched for it, at first; but, eventually, a police officer sighted the dog walking along train tracks and shot at it. Apparently, the bullets had no effect on the animal; and, it wandered off never to be seen, again. The legend has been referenced many times in popular culture. One of the most famous ghostly black dogs in fiction appears in Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's The Hound of the Baskervilles , where a large dog-like creature haunts a family estate. Sherlock Holmes is brought in to determine if the dog is in fact real or supernatural.
