managed to get 2 tickets for Clutch, gotta try and bribe someone with beer to come with me now

Doesn't your son like them?

no 'they sound old' apparently, but he will probably go if it means a free night out

Well, I suppose that blues based stuff is a bit old fashioned. I just played them to my daughter though & she liked them & she's younger than your son.

Spreading the word

Just thinking about all the recent press talk about hate crimes which then led onto the cultural identity (or not) of fans of certain musical genres.
From a choice of thousands, some classics. All live versions:
Thin Lizzy, The Rocker: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jhbvRMqX4CE
Saxon, Denim & Leather: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gtpSl1dm_fw
Rose Tattoo, Scarred For Life: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TKwtYVgqePs

Here's a couple more

Accept - Shake Your Heads https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CAHVk1pS-5s
Twisted Sister - I Am I'm Me https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LlCcQmDfDpo


Not metal but what the hell fits the mood and great track

Lars Frederiksen And The Bastards - To Have And Have Not https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4qeAnOX-UCk

Aww, the lovely Phil. I've still got that album.

Can't help thinking their days of being able to get away with wearing denim & leather are long gone.

Oooooh, I do likes me a bit of the wonderful Mr Snyder

Accept - meh



Not a bad cover I guess but what's the point in looking & sounding like 1977?

Here's one that actually celebrates metal & hard rock. The lyrics almost entirely made up of band names yet it still makes sense(sort of )

Sabaton's set closer Metal Crue

Take some venom and accept
That you won't see nazareth
The rainbow leads you home

Warrior sent to milky way
Ufo shooting gamma ray
A riot of destruction

Watch the rockbitch go down, vixen spread

When the priest killed a maiden in the metal church
Armored saints and warlocks watched the slaughter
Rage of the slayer forced the pretty maids
To kiss the queen in crimson glory

You were born a motorhead
Bike's in flames you race ahead
Udo the kansas rush

Racing with the motley crew
Annihilator chasing you
With guns and burning roses

Status quo has been reached, wasps unleashed

When the priest killed a maiden in the metal church
Armored saints and warlocks watched the slaughter
Rage of the slayer forced the pretty maids
To kiss the queen in crimson glory

Take a skyride with me, then you'll see

When the priest killed a maiden in the metal church
Armored saints and warlocks watched the slaughter
Rage of the slayer forced the pretty maids
To kiss the queen in crimson glory

Yeah, I know, more Sabaton spam I don't care

Not forgetting Twisted Sister - I Wanna Rock

I Wanna Rock by Twisted Sister
I wanna rock! (Rock)
I wanna rock! (Rock)
I want to rock (Rock)
I wanna rock! (Rock)

Turn it down you say,
Well all I got to say to you is time again I say, "No!"
No! No, No, No, No, No!
Tell me not to play
Well, all I got to say to you when you tell me not to play,
I say, "No!"
No! No, No, No, No, No!
So, if you ask me why I like the way I play it
There's only one thing I can say to you

I wanna rock! (Rock)
I wanna rock! (Rock)
I want to rock (Rock)
I wanna rock! (Rock)

There's a feelin' that
I get from nothin' else and there ain't nothin' in the world
That makes me go!
Go! Go, go, go, go, go!
Turn the power up
I've waited for so long so I could hear my favorite song so,
Let's go!
Go! Go, go, go, go, go!
When it's like this I feel the music shootin' through me
There's nothin' else that I would rather do

I wanna rock! (Rock)
I wanna rock! (Rock)
I want to rock (Rock)
I wanna rock! (Rock)



Simple but effective

WayHeyyyyy! I got tickets to their Rock City date!

Earth Rocker is my fave album ATM



nyway, my fave metal video http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=QpAA-NBUqYk

Another Swedish band to add to my menagerie

Silverdollar - Morte

Aaah, I love Peter Tagtgren

Pain - Shut Your Mouth

Such a great track.

Lve watching drummers, http://Dave Lombardo

That was actually truly awesome \m/ (I had it on full screen for max effect)

As is this brilliant cover. Pain - Eleanor Rigby

Beatallica is a mash-up band that plays music made from combinations of songs of The Beatles and Metallica. A Beatallica song is typically a blend of a Beatles song and a Metallica song with a related title (e.g. "The Thing That Should Not Let It Be", combining The Beatles' "Let It Be" and Metallica's "The Thing That Should Not Be" or "And Justice for All My Loving" combining Metallica's "And Justice for All" and the Beatles' "All My Loving"), though sometimes just a Beatles song will be used as a basis with modified lyrics. The lyrics slip back and forth between the two songs—occasionally neither in lieu of original lyrics comically referencing Metallica, heavy metal music or the heavy metal community—while the scansion and melody are usually Beatles-based, the music is played metal style with some Metallica riffs and solos thrown in. Consistent quirks made in the lyrics also criticize glam metal much in the fashion that thrash metal fans would do, as well as many references to blood. Their version of "I Want to Hold Your Hand" called "I Want to Choke Your Band", is an example of their criticism towards glam metal.

Masterful Mystery Tour Magical Mystery Tour/Master Of Puppets

I'm almost crying here

Dave Lombardo is brilliant!

I don't have the links as I'm at work, but check out some videos of Necrophagists drummer and also Derek Roddy from Hate Eternal - both fantastic.

I feel we should mark Thatcher's passing in some way. This seems appropriate

AC/DC - Have A Drink On Me

A fitting tribute. You'll find no cheap jokes from me.

RIP Maggie

Me neither. Apparently she's being cremated

i am not one to be left out, surprised i am the first to post this one for old Maggie Motorhead – Dancing on your Grave

Just watched this Mission to Lars and i don't mind admitting I shed a tear or two

What are people's view on Slash's two solo albums 'Slash' and 'Apocalyptic Love'

I got to say I simply love this performance of 'Back From Cali', been cranking it hard at the gym

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MXCJNIi4p10

Along with 'By The Sword'

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nOBHazUt780

I think this comment aptly sums it up

'Andrews vocals mixed with slash guitar.. This is what it would sound like if u could fu*k a god'

AND DAT BLISTERING SOLO!

Yes, it made me feel sad too. Because he has that awful condition & his siblings, who by their own admission, don't usually bother with him, decided to exploit him in order to further their careers (journalist & film maker).

Do you know if he get to meet Lars? As someone says in the comments - just get him a 'meet& greet' ticket.

The last time a witch was burned, in England, was 1682

Yeah, he went and met him even walked out to the stage with him
