I am quite a fan of Doug Aldrich so here is a song off the Burning Rain album, wouldn't be out of place in a strip club. You will notice Aldrich's distinctive style immediately.

It's just a jump to the left
And then a step to the right
With your hands on your hips
You bring your knees in tight
But it's the pelvic thrust that really drives you insane,

Let's do the Time Warp again!

Found that really dated & dreary tbh.

I guess most people just don't know good music, eh?

Is anyone going to be checking out any of the gigs on the iTunes Festival, there are always a couple of bands each year I watch. I used to think each band only did about 45mins until I saw Foo Fighters on it a couple of years ago and they were on for over 2 and half hours. This year I will watch Paramore (nice pop rock), Queens of the Stone Age and of course Pixies. Anyone else watching any of it?

This thread's for Metal & Hard Rock, so I guess it depends on how hard/heavy they are
Probably should limit it to prog metal or heavy-ish prog rather than general prog. So, e.g., Dream Theater and perhaps newer bands, such as Touchstone, who have a mix of heavy and more general prog in their repertoire.

I might give Pixies a whirl, if I remember. My youngest likes Paramore. When are they on?

Any Metal fits on here, including Prog. Bands such as Opeth have already featured, so Dream Theatre would be fine.

About six.

Actually it's not done on sales here, it's by shipping. Anyone can be no1 if their label sends out enough copies to retail outlets.

Probably

Obviously the retail outlets won't accept more than they think they can sell. however long that may take.

Northern Irish Symphonic Metal Band, Selene - Among the Frozen Trailer

Not sure about them but I'm surprised they even exist.

Not much subtlety in that but I suppose that's power metal.
They seem to write a lot about war and I'm not sure if they are pro or anti. Sweden was a neutral state throughout the war.

Broadly anti, although they recognise it's sometimes necessary. They're writing about it from a more historical perspective though. I feel I should also stress that they're anti nazi. (something they tend to get accused of by people who don't listen to the lyrics)

You're expecting subtlety from a Metal track? They're not strictly Power anyway. They tend to get called Heavy/Power. Power is more high voiced with fantasy themes.

Symphonic's not really my thing but that was ok. I'm not sure why such a band from N.Ireland shouldn't exist.

I don't watch it. What was the problem?

More lyrically than musically but Metallica can do it...'One' is a pretty strong anti-war song.

Metallica's working in their native language. Hardly a fair comparison.

You want something more obviously anti war?

Cliffs Of Gallipoli

There is no enemy, There is no victory, only boys who lost their lives in the sand

Or

A Lifetime Of War (about the 30 years war)
