Talk:The Great Destroyer

Ok, a lot of people have been wondering in #iamtryingtobelieve and #yearzero exactly what/who "The Great Destroyer" is. Popular theories include John of Boston being the songs narrator and somehow summoning the presence. It's most likely a person being interviewed (interrogated ;p) that somehow has the potential to cause massive worldwide destruction (or maybe just the States)or at least trigger it.

Furthermore I doubt it would be an atomic bomb or the likes, a person being interrogated wouldn't have an atom bomb on them (they confiscate those sorts of things). Anyways due to the new website "Red Horse Vector" perhaps the catalyst for the end of the world is the person being interviewed being a "Vector" for the Red Horse disease.

If somehow this Red Horse disease were unleashed, unguarded into the US by this Vector then I think that would be a pretty good indication everything was going to hell. And perhaps as a result the US retaliated and unleashed all hell on the world (nuclear style) bringing about the presence(s) to destroy everything.

At least that's my 2 cents- Velvolver 08:31, 8 April 2007 (PDT)

Are we going to add on this page that we found Red Horse Vector through the destorted voice found through this song, or not?

I love the techno breakdown. Interestingly enough, I was using an old computer with internal speakers in the tower when I first listened to the song. I caught RED HORSE VECTOR the first listen through, but the site had already been discovered by those who never leave their computers. -Crazyninfan 22:15, 10 April 2007 (PDT)

Could I hear the voice say redhorse vector on headphones? At what time does it occur?? -Velvolver 05:37, 12 April 2007 (PDT)

speech

the speech can be heard around 2 min 24 sec. when the surround sound effect happens... you would have to have your headphones on medium-high volume and really strain or push your headphones into your ear to hear it... but you can!!! lol... The best way to hear it however is discussed on the echoing the sound forum... In a surround sound stereo system while turning down the right and left channel and pumping the center channel... or something like that... Jgrizzy89 09:53, 12 April 2007 (PDT)

Suicide bomber

I have a theory that this song is about a suicide bomber, possibly taking down an important target (building or person). Think of it sung from the perspective of a man with explosives strapped to his chest, about to carry out his mission. He goes over his last thoughts: "I hope they cannot see", "to murder everything", "hold your breath, wait until you know the time is right". Then he ends it in a big flourish (the louder second chorus of "I am the great destroyer"), and then he presses the button and explodes. The breakdown at the end of the song is the explosion and the resulting fallout and panic. Gutsdozer 17:07, 7 December 2008 (PST)
