POLL: Who is the most metal "fogey" on the forum?

[jingle.boy]

Well, good thing this hasn't turned into a 'who's got the biggest dick' competition.




































Coz I'm sure he'd win that too!

[Sir GuitarCozmo]

[Adami]

Lonestar.

So metal that he can keep bosk at bay with one hand.

[Podaar]

Coz,

He said 'who's got' not 'who is'. 

[jammindude]

I know y'all don't know me very well, but I bought this album on it's release date in the early eighties.



And liked it!

I actually went to see Celtic Frost in 1987. For whatever reason, they didn't perform, so we got an impromptu headline show by the openers, Flotsam & Jetsam. The Doomsday tour at that!




My most metal Fogey vote  goes to wkiml!

I bought Morbid Tales when it first came out....loved it....went and saw them in the summer of *86* when they were touring for To Mega Therion.   Voivod was opening (touring for Rrroooaaarrr) and Running Wild (touring for Branded and Exiled). 

I also saw Slayer *OPEN* their Reign in Blood tour *ON HALLOWEEN* 1986 in Seattle at the Moore Theater.

Well, I go by thickness.

He's already got enough emot's





Oh, and his womang recognizes the relevance of March 14th.  Dude's got the life we all want.   

most women don't?   

[King Postwhore]

Suneo do you know what March 14th is?  look it up and then know that he gets both every year because he IS COZ!

  Now that's metal!

Jammin, wasn't it funny watching Celtic Frost in concert? The actually seemed bored (maybe even a little lost) while the audience was going berserk in front of them. Or, I could be too easily amused.

Yes, of course I know. 

It was just curious to me that most women don't know. 

Makes me sad for other men.  And women..

[King Postwhore]

WE MEN NEED TO GO TO OUR LOCAL CONGRESSMAN THEN!!!

Every woman I've ever been with or married to knew about S&BJ day. It's a great day but it's not uncommon knowledge.

[Elite]

Never heard of it. Apparently that shit doesn't exist on the other side of the pond. Thank you, urban dictionary.

[jingle.boy]

Oh, I think most women know the relevance of the day.  But I suspect most women don't give a shit about following through.  I was trying to imply that Mrs. Coz does.

IDK.... at my show, Tom seemed really into it.  I wasn't really paying any attention to Martin.   Reed did a drum solo that blew my mind!   He started with a standard drum solo, then started playing his sticks down the cymbal stands, and then kept drumming on the floor and whatever else he could find as he walked around the stage without ever stopping.    I've since found out that this "trick" was not original, but at 16, it was the first time I had ever seen such a thing.   Totally blew my doors off. 

The crowd was pretty into it.   But I've NEVER seen a crowd like an early Slayer crowd....before or since.

EDIT: To put it in perspective....remember that video that circulated a long time ago?  With that big kid who would just yell, "SLLLAAAAYYYYYEEERRRRR!!!!!!!"   In the early days, that was *every* Slayer fan.     Even though I suspect that Live Undead has a "piped in" audience recording...the fact was they need not have done that.   That *IS* what a typical Slayer show sounded like.....on EVERY freakin song.   Slayer fans are just another breed.

4 metal fogeys are competing in my roulette. Maybe one of them will win and prove his superiority to the others 

[jammindude]

BTW....speaking of Live Undead (and I'm sorry to hijack the thread).   I used to have Live Undead on picture disc back when it was new.   On that version, there was a really (IMO) KICK ASS drum solo from Dave leading up into Show No Mercy.   On subsequent versions (black vinyl, cassette, first pressing CD's) this drum solo was omitted and Show No Mercy just starts the same way it does on the studio version.    Does anyone know if the version with the drum solo ever surfaced in any capacity???

You'd have to actually be running it for someone to win.

It sounds like jammindude wouldn't mind entering the competition!

It was not my intent to nominate myself.     I do not consider myself "most metal fogey" on this forum....but I guess I am of that age group.    (I am probably "most metal fogey" of anyone I know IRL)

That was my first avatar here, oh the memories 

[Jaq]

Oh you want some metal fogey cred?

I heard of Diamond Head-and owned their debut album-before Metallica was even SIGNED.

I owned import copies of Saxon's Denim and Leather and Venom's Black Metal. I bought them, on fact, on the same day. 

I owned Loudness' first three albums as Japanese imports. And you should too!

I remember when Def Leppard was a heavy metal band 

[El Barto]

The crowd was pretty into it.   But I've NEVER seen a crowd like an early Slayer crowd....before or since.

I was at the barricade for that show here in Dallas. Had my left arm around a lady friend and gripping the barricade, and my right arm holding one side of a chair over our heads while she held up the other end, using it as a shield to keep all of the other chairs raining down from knocking us out. Good times.

Psh!  That's nothing.  You want some REAL metal cred?  Little known fact:  Motorhead's first three albums and Iron Maiden's first7 albums comprise an inter-related 10-part biography about what I did when I was bored over a summer vacation once.  And they left out the scary parts.

[JayOctavarium]

[LieLowTheWantedMan]

Hawkwind >>> Motorhead. There goes my metal cred.

[jammindude]

I've only just recently dug into Hawkwind.  Even got one on vinyl....Hall of the Mountain Grill I believe.   I listened to it one time....it wasn't bad...just seemed sortof...IDK...."jammy"...

[Dark Castle]

I've never really liked Motorhead. 

[obscure]

is an emote for us all.

Oh, yeah?  Well, I'll see your and raise you

Wait, somehow, that didn't really have the effect I was going for...

  ?

Love it

oh forgot about that li'l cutie....

We all will be fogeys by the time the roulette is over

Sorry Marco

[hefdaddy42]

I must say I'm sad I didn't get mentioned given the work I did with Metallica and Epica.

[jingle.boy]

Considering "I Wish I Had An Angel" is Nightwish, I guess that makes you even more metal giving you either forgot or didn't care which band you were with, or you've worked with all three!

[hefdaddy42]

Yeah, that's it.  Plus, that was years ago, I'm so metal I can't remember all the crazy shit I've done.  Hell, I was in even in some low-budget film once, just doing a buddy a favor.  Not sure what ever came of it.  Hey, here's a pic.

I had Number of the Beast and a Dio live EP on Picture disc
