is it just me, or is the intro to this song similiar to the song used in Scarface, in the scene where Tony was killed?

NeoClassical Metal?

This page makes much of the so-called "neo-classical" metal elements of the song Mr Crowley, saying that they are the earliest recorded. Sorry, but practically the entire album Rainbow Rising - hardly unknown - came out years earlier and Mr Crowley is pretty much a copy of that style. The fact that Yngwie Malmsteen, the world's biggest fan of Richie Blackmore, covered the song must be evidence of this. Mr Crowley is a great song, but rather than lauding its originiality, it should either pay tribute to Rainbow, or make no mention of any origins or originality at all.

Pronunciation of "Crowley"

Should there be some mention of how Aleister Crowley's name is pronounced to rhyme with "foully" in this song, despite the fact that its correct pronunciation rhymes with "holy"? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.226.170.154 (talk) 01:46, 5 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Shouldn't someone who has some experience in grammar and editing re-write this article?? It's terribly written.

I think he pronounces it right, it's just his accent. I'm not going to change the article just yet, but perhaps someone else could confirm. It's just, I heard the song without knowing what it was about, and just understood it to be pronounced "holy" without knowledge of Aleister Crowley.

Blizzard Of Ozz

Seems odd that the single is described as the second single by Ozzy 'as a solo artist', when as the picture of the record clearly shows, at that stage 'Blizzard of Ozz' was the band name (this is easily verified online too) Only once Daisley and Kerslake got the boot when 'Diary Of A Madman' was released, did it revert to 'Ozzy Osbourne' only. That however, is a whole new discussion! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.31.97.129 (talk) 21:28, 2 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Fallout 3 reference

While there is a character in Fallout 3, how do we know it's not a reference to Aleister Crowley? Or could it be referring to both? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.197.130.22 (talk) 17:10, 4 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Lyric Interpretation

Is it necessarily true that Daisley misunderstood Crowley? While Crowley himself didn't believe in Satan, those who do believe Satan exists would charge Crowley's involvement with the occult as satanic. The lyrical reference to a white horse, often symbolic of will, would indicate a greater familiarity with Crowley's work than the article acknowledges. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.73.147.1 (talk) 04:02, 25 February 2009 (UTC) And is a great song —Preceding unsigned comment added by 61.68.60.29 (talk) 04:03, 15 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Crowley's religious views

The artile states that Crowley was an atheist, but when I read the article about Crowley it says that he believed in the god of Horus. It's impossible to be an atheist and believe in Horys, a deity, at the same time, so I assume that it is false to say that Crowley was an atheist. Benzocaine (talk) 03:19, 17 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
