@gypsy

Hahaha thanks bro!

@bfg

Yeah, my YouTube app does something weird for the link, it's not a mobile link (no 'm'). I just didn't feel like figuring it out, I just wanted to go to bed lol

[Mugwump]

Well it's a matter of taste, I guess. I just love his voice and ever since I first discovered Led Zeppelin, I like this kind of hard-blues stuff.

@Testament - I have loved testament, forever
@Chris Cornell/Billie Jean - worst shit I've ever heard in my life. Maybe I'm just not being open-minded or summin but, that was garbage IMO. He should have done smooth criminal. I can imagine CC singing "You've been hit by, You've been struck by..." and that would be pretty damn good.

Yaaah, King Buzzo and his improbable hair! Huge influence to Kurdt Cobain.

@80's pop Yeah, Duran Duran! Wild Boys and its crazy video directed by Russell Mulcahy. My fav was The Chauffeur. I was more into things like Ultravox, Japan, U2, Simple Minds, Depeche Mode, Talk Talk, Tears For Fears and of course The Cure. I loved Kate Bush too. Dum-dugudum, dugudugudugudum, dugudum-dugudum, dugudugudugudum... Madonna, it was my hormones who liked her rather than my ears. And speaking of MJ:

A little OT but whatever, it's too good. I'm a huge fan of this guy and the first time I heard his version I was floored.

@Dutch (and Adam) You only need to replace https://m with http://www and your vids will embed just fine.

Anyway, back on topic:

@80s pop

Flock of seagulls all day, baby! I guess the cars fit in here as well...one of my favorites.

But yeah, back to metal:

Ok never mind...embedding videos on a phone is more trouble than it's worth. Hope a link is good enough.

Primal Fear - Suicide and Mania

@Ratt

We have a local band here called Ratt Poison
https://www.facebook.com/Ratt-Poison-192349675011/

They're not bad if you like that stuff. It's 100% cover tunes. Personally, I like my music really heavy. I don't hate 80's glam metal. I just don't really like it. As a kid I listened to plenty Def Leopard, Ratt, Poison, Motley Crue, Kiss... as I got older I started finding it really boring and traded my jean jacket for a leather one, my mullet for a mohawk (figuratively). However, ironically I love 80's pop... I don't know what to tell ya about that it's just true and it's pretty much always been true no matter how "metal" I've ever been. I even have a pandora station built on Slayer, Michael Jackson, Pantera, Duran Duran, Lamb of God, Madonna...it's all fucked up.

I noticed that I've never seen a single person here (@ Quakeone not just this thread) mention Melvins.

skip first minute...just noise mostly.

Didn't know the Exhorder story.

[MadGypsy]

[ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3pF8S_ssMmI[/ame]

The short story: This band is a local New Orleans band. This is only their first album. Their second album "The Law" is even heavier and represents what I'm about to say more accurately. These guys were "Pantera" before Pantera stopped being a hair-metal band. It's actually really true. Phil Anselmo played a bunch of Exhorder and other groove metal bands for the rest of Pantera and then Pantera became "better" Exhorder. If ya don't know, Phil is from here (New Orleans).

Metal is fn Metal imo, arguing the semantics just makes me get all warm in fuzzy inside (with contempt and vulgar thoughts)

Damn that is depressing. Ratt is also one of my favorites, always liked Pearcys raw voice. Too bad to hear he's not doing so hot...but a lot of those 80s guys are clinging on by a thread. I hate to say it, but they just need to retire. Def Leppard, ACDC...it's hard to watch them as old men

Like I said, this was back in probably 2002, so that was 14 years ago. And at the time, Stephen Pearcy looked pretty pickled and bloated from too much drinking and very leathery from too much tanning when I saw him up close. Didn't I was literally standing 4 feet away from him when they were playing. Everyone was crowded right up against the wooden wall barricade at the stage and there was like 60 feet of open empty floorspace behind us all, lol. But god only knows what he looks like right now. Whew, I bet ain't too pretty.

Last I heard, Malcolm Young was in an old folks home with pretty advanced dementia. And a little before that, Phil Rudd got in some shit for supposedly hiring someone to kill someone for him. Not sure how that ever panned out, but I thought I heard something else about those charges being blown out of proportion and what he really did was just make "terroristic threats" to someone, probably saying something like "I'll kill you.", I dunno, don't quote me on none of it. And then there were rumors that Angus Young was gonna replace Brian Johnson with Axel Rose as the singer for a short tour stint, didn't hear whatever became of that either.

black metal is not heavy metal.

I was big into the death metal stuff back in the 90's when black metal was first starting to hit the scene. Georgia Tech's college radio station WREK 91.1FM used to have a Friday night metal show from 10pm until about 6am called "Wreckage", and that's where I first heard a lot of the death metal stuff that I fell in love with. But slowly, they started mixing in songs from bands like Mayhem and Emperor and Satyricon. I wasn't a fan. As far as I could tell, the whole point of it was for bands to feature the absolute worst production quality imaginable and to sound as much as possible like they recorded the whole album in a tiny truckstop bathroom with nothing but a small cassette deck and a cheap little condenser mic they bought at Radio Shack. Just awful sounding crap.

I dont listen heavy metal. I do not like too much already. But I must admit that Peste noire is an excellent band, like many other bands of "rance black metal de France". This is not even black metal (like Burzum, GOrgoroth, Mayhem etc...) and black metal is not heavy metal. But is something farely related

I think they are extreme nationalists and related stuff. I really do not care about the lyrics. They are good musicians. that's all.
