Check out this fucking tragic Blaze Bayley clip boys to brighten up your day;

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CCXpqkK8i1Y&feature=youtu.be

The song is actually quite solid and has a nice VX1 feel to it IMO, but the video is just pure gold! Haven't checked it out yet but I might have too, some good melodies.

The song is okay I suppose but that video

- produced by Nigel Tufnel

Haven't seen pictures or videos of him since he left Maiden, so when did he turn into a U.D.O. lookalike? What happened to the relatively handsome young man, was he cursed by an evil witch?

The curse of Father Time. And a pretty rough trot over the years too.

I think it's quite a well done song.

what do you figure the budget was for that bad boy?

Lowdz · « **Reply #4380 on:** April 05, 2016, 12:47:30 PM »

That voice is still bland and monotonous.

Big Hath · « **Reply #4381 on:** April 05, 2016, 12:56:47 PM »

If I remember correctly, I didn't rate any songs as must listens on that album when I went through it recently. Of course that was one listen only.

It definitely doesn't sound like he'll ever get back to the quality of Silicon Messiah or Tenth Dimension.

Indeed they are. Amazing albums.

My favorite is Promise And Terror. The 4 song suite at the end about his wife's death is chilling.

New Flots!

Their last album was OK and the one before not so much, but I am looking forward to this one. I have a feeling it is going to be pretty good.

That's a dark and underrated album from him, really good. The Man Who Would Not Die is brutal too, love that one.

Actually, they were one of my favorite bands back in the day. They were on that second level, but their first 6 albums are all excellent.
On my Roulette list for you. We'll see how it goes.

wolfking · « **Reply #4391 on:** April 05, 2016, 05:05:11 PM »

Look forward to it mate.

I don't know a lot about F&J either. They sound like they are a cool band

bl5150 · « **Reply #4393 on:** April 06, 2016, 03:09:28 AM »

I have tried with Flotsam & Jetsam but aside from a song here and there I was never able to really connect with their style.

Kwyjibo · « **Reply #4394 on:** April 06, 2016, 03:39:01 AM »

One of the (sadly) many bands I know by name but not by songs.

bl5150 · « **Reply #4395 on:** April 06, 2016, 03:44:21 AM »

I imagine a lot of people (myself included) would never have checked them out if not for the Metallica connection

They were a band I always meant to check out due to that, but still never did.

TAC · « **Reply #4397 on:** April 06, 2016, 05:53:21 AM »

Jason only played on that first album. I college roommate actually had their first album, so that's where I heard of them. We saw them on the Doomsday tour, but they had a fill-in bassist. I forget the guy's name.

But then Troy Gregory joined and they recorded No Place For Disgrace and When The Storm Comes Down, two of my all time favorite metal albums, and I'll take both over anything that Slayer, Megadeth, or Anthrax has done.

Interesting reading the diverse reaction to this Babymetal mob who seem to be getting bigger and bigger worldwide - on Colbert now.

Opinions range from brilliant to absolute turd sandwich. I am tending toward the latter

A couple of other news tidbits of interest to some around here:

- Schenker has a live Temple of Rock DVD on the way

- Stream of Passion have called it a day

I've heard this one before (surprised I remembered it from only one listen). It's so strange, like they took pop, death metal, and every Japanese horror movie and stuck it in a blender. There are bits I liked, but not really something I'd listen to.

Still, if this is any indication, I'll take Japan's manufactured music over America's manufactured music.

Back in the day I assumed they were a thrash band and I wouldn't like it so never bothered to check them out. Last year I youtubed them as they came up in the suggestions. Nah, didn't do anything for me.

wolfking · « **Reply #4405 on:** April 07, 2016, 02:26:31 PM »

That link is the first thing I've ever heard of Baby Metal. Turned it off after a minute, just novelty crap IMO.

Here ya go Tim - new Flotsam & Jetsam song called.................................................

Iron Maiden

https://youtu.be/fQ77YEzem_I

I actually like that better than most of their stuff....although that's not hard to achieve.

BlobVanDam · « **Reply #4407 on:** April 08, 2016, 09:08:54 AM »

This is the only Flotsam and Jetsam song I've ever heard, and it doesn't leave a great impression. A song called Iron Maiden with some wannabe Bruce Dickinson vocals.

TAC · « **Reply #4408 on:** April 08, 2016, 09:41:25 AM »

Wow , just listened through my phone at lunch and it's awesome!

This song is much better than i expected.........ass kicker!!
