Ok, wrong person answering, but how heavy are you prepared to go?

If you want to hate 'metal' then go straight for Morbid Angel. Or at least
some Carcass. If you want singing rather than shouting/gargling glass then
there are a few tracks on the 3rd Slipknot album that you should try. Faith
No More were a bit basic, but quite different, at the beginning. Its hard
to find stuff that has aged well, tbh. I could knock out a few CDs of 'good
for their time' or 'good now' but I'd have trouble doing one that was 'as
good now as it was then'. It's all disposable, just like pop music, just a
different group of people who like it.

Off the top of my head I can think of "Liar" by the Rollins Band, "This
Love" or "Fucking Hostile" by Pantera, anything off the first Rage Against
the Machine album, most of "Reise Reise" by Rammstein and "Weak" by Skunk
Anasie, most of "Metallica" (the previously mentioned 'black' album) and
Queen's Greatest Hits (we're all allowed one weird choice, surely) as good
'metal' you might wish to download/have a copy sent...... But then others
might disagree with the use of the word 'metal'

Dave (former (admittedly not quite professional but still paid shit loads
for it[1]) DJ at Rock City, Nottingham.... As well as 2 other venues on
other nights[2])

[1] Relatively speaking about the early 90s for a pissed bloke, playing
occasionally, in the opening 2 hours downstairs...
[2] Worse paying, got even more pissed, used to play thrash interspersed
with dodgy rave stuff as the bpm was the same....

 

Only semi? Must try harder then...

I like your thinking. I may do that very thing. Perhaps
over-analysing everything just gets in the way.

Power Of Numbers? I don't think I know that one, would you care to
enlighten me?

I do prog, to a certain extent. I like Dream Theatre, pescatorial
Marillion (can't stand the sound of Steve Hogarth's voice, insipid
whine that it is), Rush, and others.

Like, with above-stated restrictions.

Entirely ambivalent, although as a singer she had few peers.

Entirely acceptable.

Not the dance stuff, but some of his more recent work is okay with me.

One to investigate. I take it you don't mean the fat Scottish
actor/comedian... (yes, I know, just kidding)

Not heard much, but what I've heard I've ignored, really. I shall pay
more attention.

Studied some of his at school. "Gymnopedies" particularly. Okay if
you like that sort of thing.

Recognise the name, is all I can say.

I think I see what you're saying.

Seriously, listen to "Crazy". The timing is stunning, and her voice is
fantastic.

I'm sure there's some opening for a camp retort here.......

I do think you should give them a go, but be prepared to hate it

Just put it on. Vermilion Part 2 is very non-Slipknot. Track before is
'Before I Forget' which is still a bit mild.... And the play "The Nameless".
You get 3 tracks, one 'metal'ballad, one 'metal', one a mix....

Faith

I'm talking "We Care A Lot" here. Early metal/rap crossover.....

I'm embarrassed by it, but I just wish I'd seen them live before Freddie
died. The Live Aid segment is *superb* and I know that wasn't Queen at
their best... I blame my mum and her constant assrertions that Mr mercury
was the most heterosexual man on the planet all through the late 70s/early
80s...

Possibly... I can't remember many names as the stuff I used to mix in
wasn't exactly mainstream, but it was loud and fast and made the fact that
the metal guys had bothered to write some lyrics seem like a novelty..

Fucking Hoff-Style

 

I'd always known it to be a DuPont thingamajig, but didn't know it was
as early as 1938.

 

I worry that this may not get Bear to appreciate metal.

But it *is* good, in a "TDK tapes" advert style... [1]

Interesting.

 

I prefer Steve Austin.

Matt Houston rocks.

 

I thought this paragraph and the closing ones particularly thought
proking in this arena:

"With all of aviation's emphasis on safety, the human factors of small
planes and the environment in which they fly would be laughable, if it
weren't so dangerous. Why? Because the whole thing is awash in "macho."
Just as with Unix, just as with DOS, the more confounding everything
is, the better it is, because it helps separate the men from the
boys-and the girls, who aren't really invited. Until that changes,
general aviation will continue to experience both a high fatality rate
and a continuing drop in new pilots."

 

Is it just me, or does anyone else find the domain name a bit
disconcerting?

[of Queen]

<mode=nostalgic>

My first ever gig, aged 14 and a half, was Queen at the Hammy O in 1978
where Live Killers was recorded.
My second ever gig was Queen at Wenbley Arena in 1979.

ObMotorcycle: I also saw Queen at Knebworth in 1986, and my new (to me,
i.e. about a month) Z1100R Eddie Lawson Replica was stolen from the car
park.

Mmmmm...had some with a load of roasted vegetables & couscous on Sunday
night. Lovely!

 

As do I. I think I first saw him on 'Tonight' or whatever the early evening
news program was. 'Readjustment Blues', great it was.

 

****. Does that mean our brains are on the same frequency?

<whimper>

 

I liked Rock's production on "Metallica", but I felt him made them too
"clean" after that.

Rubin is good. I love "Reign In Blood".

 

I'll put a cd in with that dvd.
