The Official Hard Rock / Classic Metal Music Discussion and Memorabilia Thread!

[Big Hath]

did they get Michael McDonald to sing backup on their version too?

[Evermind]

Downloading the podcast now, will spin it someday this week at work. I surely need to renew some of my old acquaintances with the bands in the genre and the new ones won't hurt either.

[jingle.boy]

Oh, and next time "KadefromBrisbaine" calls, HANG UP!

Now I get the humour in this.  Well played Brent.   

I think we should start a new tradition here for Tim... a Kip-roll.  Next time there's a new Saxon clip, or something with Shenker or Alice Cooper, I'm gonna link the video for 17.   

[jingle.boy]

Nice show.  Lots in there that wasn't on my radar or in my library, and three totally new ones (Nation, Loudness, Destination's Calling - though I swear I've seen that album cover somewhere) that are on 'the list'.

Let me know when to send in my requests for next months show.

Bloody hell, nation were on your roulette list, instead I sent those ballads you didn't appreciate 

[jingle.boy]

FFS, I SAID I FELT BAD!!!!   

It's not like I didn't appreciate them, I just appreciated the hell out of other songs.

When are you going to sign up to do a Roulette?  All the cool kids are doing (or have done) it.

[wolfking]

And the coolest is yet to come.

It seems a bit of a pain in the arse tbh  I'm all for an easy life. I'll think about it.

I thought that too.  Way too much hassle.  It still might be, but these bozos all peer pressured me into it.

You know you'lll be doing more than thinking about it.

Thinking is irrelevant.
Easy life is irrelevant.
Pain is irrelevant.

Resistance is futile.

I've never given in to that

"Paul's Half Assed Roulette" Podcast    

1) Paul provides a banned list
2) We all submit 5 songs
3) Brent creates a podcast out of them for Paul to listen to
4) Paul ranks the songs and decides Brent is the winner.

Done.

[wolfking]

Henning Basse is the new Firewind singer.  Don't know too much about him.  I have one Metalium and was not bad from what I remember.

[jingle.boy]

I knew I recognized the name... I only know him from the 2nd Epysode album - Fantasmagoria.  Can't say he stood out, considering Tom Englund and Matt Marinelli (Borealis) were the other male vocal characters.  Those two I remember.

Shit, definitely gotta check Epysode out again then.

One day, you'll believe lonestar's quote in my sig.     

Check your Spotify inbox.

I have listened to both and thought they were very good, just never gave them repeated listens.

[jingle.boy]

I have listened to both and thought they were very good, just never gave them repeated listens.

I think I just died a little inside.

[bl5150]

I really liked one song on each Epysode album 

[jingle.boy]

[wolfking]

Relax Chad, I'll spin at least one of them tonight.

[Bolsters]

I have listened to both and thought they were very good, just never gave them repeated listens.

Same here. Added them both to Spotify for later.

I don't think that's funny at all.


Had a looooong drive today and listened to Ben and Brent's show again!



I love how after The World Is A Gutter goes right into a song about shooting people!

[King Postwhore]

So my brother saw King Diamond last night. His bud is a huge fan so he went to see them.  Saw a few videos he posted. Loved the music but his voice is grating.

King's vocals are an acquired taste for sure.

No tears, but I'll say a prayer for all of you.

Yeah it's like that. That's why I prefer his later stuff. GMYS...P and The Puppet Master. Even House Of God. His voice is much more focused and not as screechingly high. I thought the music on Abigail 2 was great, but he kills it with those vocals trying to emulate the original Abigail, which to me is almost unlistenable due to the vocals.

[wolfking]

Even though I love all his work, I can see what you are saying.

[TAC]

I literally only got into KD about 7 years ago. I just could never get into his schtick.

I was turned on to early Mercyful  Fate  back in the day but the satanic references were a turn off. Just never cared for his image. I had a good friend who was into him, and knew the music was top notch.

I have mentioned this before but in the late 80's twice I walked out of a KD show before he came on. I was there to see the opening bands. (Flotsam & Jetsam and Armored Saint). This was in a small club. Man am I kicking myself.

Andy Laroque is the most underrated guitarist in metal, and has been for too long. I hear lots of Schenker in his playing.

[ozzy554]

I cant really be upset if somebody does not like KD. His vocal style is just one of those things that you either like it or you just don't.

I saw him live for the first time the other day and He was fantastic. Thankfully he played in boston this time instead of at the palladium.

[TAC]

I agree about Boston over Worcester.

Wow, man.

And yeah, Andy is a monster.  He's definitely a top 10 player for me.

This.
