japanese bands, for some reason, rule. not sure why?

if you want gut-wrenching noise/rock action, check out keiji haino's Fu****susha.

Ooooh Japanese metal :p



err....loudness.....umm....

what i meant to say is that japanese psych and/or noise bands rule. seek out stuff on labels like PSF (psychedelic speed freaks), vanilla, captain trip, alien8, etc etc etc. the japanoise noise underground is a strange one, but vibrant.

Iron Maiden "Killers" Tour, was my 1st "real" concert, when I was 12 years old! What happened to Maiden after Paul Dianno left :nope:

I partied a couple of times with Lars Ulrich, being a fellow Scandinavian and all..... Fun guy!

By the way! I've played guitar all my life, classically trained, went to M.I in Hollywood 92-93' Played the Hollywood club scene quite exstensively back in the early 90's.....YES METAL RULES, and whoever tells you, metal is dead, METAL NEVER DIED, IT WAS ALWAYS HERE!

i saw a old pantera video on MTV tonight, they show hard rock every sat. night followed by head bangers ball, thats all nu stuff.

That Pantera song, um .... forget the name, but it says RESPECT allot in it, should be respects new theme song. :mumble:
 
Metal bands that really kick arse...

Iron Maiden: Live after death
Pantera: 101 proof
Judas Priest: Painkiller
Drain STH: Horror wrestling (swedish chicks rock)
Metallica: And justice for all

The only reason I put Metallica on there was because Justice was about the most kick ass album of it's time, and is still one of the best. They havent done anything that good since. Drain STH was a Swedish band that had 4 females who REALLY know how to get down with the metal. Judas Priest were pioneers of the metal scene. Pantera made the most kick ass live music in the business. Iron Maiden? I grew up on them Ryme of the ancient mariner live straight up owns anyone live from that era...

. Walk

Can't you see I'm easily bothered by persistence
One step from lashing out at you...
You want in to get under my skin
And call yourself a friend
I've got more friends like you
What do I do?

[Pre]
Is there no standard anymore?
What it takes, who I am, where I've been
Belong
You can't be something you're not
Be yourself, by yourself
Stay away from me
A lesson learned in life
Known from the dawn of time

[Chorus]
Respect, walk

Run your mouth when I'm not around
It's easy to achieve
You cry to weak friends that sympathize
Can you hear the violins playing you song?
Those same friends tell me your every word

[Pre]

[Chorus]

Are you talking to me?
No way punk

interesting read about the "history" of HEAVY METAL
Wow, that is pretty cool. I spent WAY too much time reading the whole thing, but it was well written.

I found this quote so totally true

"Certain individuals I like, but people as a whole suck!
Nothing but talking monkeys with car keys." - Kam Lee, Massacre

Ooo ooo oo. And how could I not mention the Dwarves cover art!! Leme go find a pic.

Edit: Second thought, I'd have to edit a bunch of the cover for public consumption. "Blood, Guts, & Pussy" wins hands down. :devil:

page and plant most talented song writers? didn't they just riff off of Tolkein? :P

Not really, they were just smart enough to know where the goods were.

Jimmy Page sold his soul to the Devil to become a great guitarist. It doesn't get much more metal than that!

a must read for all Led Zeppelin fans



A book that as time goes by increasingly appears to be more of a cultural and historical document than the racy tell-all it started out as, HAMMER OF THE GODS is a blow-by-blow account of the Led Zeppelin story, from its start as Jimmy Page's vision of the New Yardbirds to its messy dissolution in a fog of drugs, violence, and death. Stephen Davis does an excellent job of keeping the narrative moving through an increasingly sleazy succession of anecdotes involving the band and its young female admirers, but he's at his best when charting the convergence of sex and rock & roll that was Led Zeppelin at its peak. Davis's depiction of the band members' beleaguered status as pariahs among the rock cognoscenti, even at the height of their creative powers, will be instructive to those who assume Zeppelin always had the legendary standing it maintains today; his portrayals of the chaos and frequent outbreaks of violence (often at the instigation of the band's thuggish manager Peter Grant and his henchman, tour manager Richard Cole) that attended a Zeppelin show vividly capture the mayhem and the madness at the core of this influential rock phenomenon.

While I am a child of early speed/death metal (ie, spending too much time at L'Mours in Brooklyn as a metal child), I would still have to say Black Sabbath circa Master of Reality. It's still super heavy and bands stilly try to sound as monolithic and heavy as that slab of vinyl...

Second to that, seeing Slayer on the Hell Awaits tour was mind (and ear) blowing.
