What exactly is a Metalingus?
Cool music, but what does it mean? :confused:

Who knows if that is what the guys meant by the name |
Wow - weird. thanks for the reply.

The name "Metalingus" is a play on the term "C----lingus," which means oral stimulation of the c------s, clearly a sexual term.
That should better answer your question. |

It's something I thought of a ways back, possibly before the album came out, but never thought of posting it. H-D :pimp: |
idk what the name has to do with the song.
|
It's just referring to the great amount of "stimulation" Mark is giving the guitar, it being a very fast and "hard" song. Sorry if that sounded very innuendo-ish. LOL.

Ingus is a way of talking, isn't it?

I think it means stimulation of the wild side in us all, that everyone has, some just more than others. The "metalhead" in us all. And Mark is tapping into that side of the listener.

Alright... here's my take on Metalingus (and my first official post on the coolest board in the world.)
Alright, since we've established that the term may be derived from the term 'cunnilingus', we know that there's a sense of stimulation involved with the name. The following snippet of lyrics: "I'll never long for what might have been Regret won't waste my life again I won't look back I'll fight to remain" Shows that there's a sense of regret for prior events, but a new motivation, or stimulation, has transpired to inspire a fight to move on and make things better. "On this day its so real to me Everything has come to life Another chance to chase a dream Another chance to feel Chance to feel alive" The chorus shows that everything has become very clear, and something so vivid has given the speaker strive in a whole new sense. So, since cunnilingus has serious connotations of "intense stimulation," the meaning of the term could only be that metal is a serious form of stimulation and motivation, giving a sense of purpose and making life worth living. There's my two cents worth. |
Welcome to Creedfeed, XenoN.

Awesome first post.
Welcome. |
Welcome

Okay, I'm giving you my two cents, since everyone else is. I think its obvious that he's talking about what was and what is. What was, was Creed. What is, is AB. And he's very excited about this new band, new direction, and it has stimulated Mark to get back to the basics of rock, and to just let it rip.

Thanks for the nice welcomes :D
Shiver, I agree with you. It sorta stems from a deeper viewpoint of what my idea is for metalingus. I started thinking about how much metal AB really is, and it's more hard rock than metal. I guess "Hardrockingus" wouldn't really work too well, though. |
I do have to say that, I was reading the lyrics yesterday, because I went to their show in OKC last night, and to see Creed on the last leg of the Weathered tour, and to see AB was like to totally different bands, and it should be, they are, but their was a different energy, and I think if you take the time to read the lyrics, a lot of what Mark wrote about seemed to be about letting go of the past and moving on. And I am so much more excited now than ever after seeing them.

regret wont waste my life again

Re: What exactly is a Metalingus?
"Metalingus" is a joke title, a play on words, originally a working title. It gets its name from heavy metal and cunnilingus. "The title, originally a working title, is a joke and a portmanteau of the terms heavy metal and cunnilingus."-Wikipedia.
