True metal vs trends

[VitaminG]

Maiden? Swords & demons & wizards? Where'd you come up with that? You sure you're not talking about Dio?

[bibz]

Zimmers hole are fantastic, the ironic take on metal rules, because they pretty much one up everyone on it! Amazing pipes on that dude too, rocks.

e.g. I'm not a fan of maiden. I usually hate the fantasy swords and demons and wizards shit in metal. To me thats the zepplin style stuff, I prefer the sabbath imagery. But on that ZH lp I was sucked in from the first spin! I wanna join the fista corps

[sevser]

I was going to mention ZH a few times...Thay are Vancouver legends...Val has some set of pipes...He wears this huge rubber dick on stage that shoots vodka! Our bass player has had the privilege of their company a few times and says thay are crazy fuckers! Devy uses him for backing vocals in the studio quite a lot...

The drummer that Gene took over for (Steve Wheeler) Lives here in the Okanagan now and has a band called "Bloodloss" we have played some shows with them and the drummer is very good...They just finished up a new CD...

That is just hilarious. The wiki is so amazing.

"Thou Shalt Embrace the Flame. For It is The Creator, and The Destroyer, and The Cooker of Weeners."



That video is hilarious. Talking about killing posers and all that.

Good stuff Bill!

For Ben..I picked up Zimmers Hole's last one. Nathan Explosion (Dethklock) is a guest on it. The music fuggin' rocks..but the lyrics are hilarious!!! ZH is a side project of Strapping Young Lad members.

Here a vid.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5hICOqClW2w

Their wiki page is pretty interesting and silly.. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zimmers_Hole

Yes Phil, I passed out early last night..and got up at 4:30 in the morning..yeesh.

OK, Here's the very band that made me crossover into heavier styles of metal. They're still a huge influence on my playing style and writing. Tommy Veterlli aka TT Baron..is one of the most overlooked and underrated guitar players in metal, and what a great guitar tone!!! Yes, I told Jeff Loomis about them..oddly he never heard of them.

These songs are going on 20 years old. But they may inspire you like they inspired me. Awesome three piece band. Please give a listen..

Studio..unfortunately, I'm unable to find my favorite Cornoer song "Son of Lilith"..

Wow..apparently Tommy Veterlli is in this band NEVERLAND. I must get it!!! .. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lT32C4IHj1g

Tommy was in Kreator for a while. But he didn't get much solo action. He's an awesome player IMO! One of my faves.

Sorry, if I strayed a bit off course. I wanted to introduce the band that made me go from Van Halen, Rough Cutt, Dokken, TNT, Ratt, Loudness, ect. to >>> Coroner, Hexenhouse, Sabbat, Candlemass ect to >>> Heathen, Forbidden, Nevermore ect. to >>> Mekong Delta, At The Gates, Emperor, Sybmyosis, Arsis, and so on.. the metal continuum...continues.

Good morning Horns, damn you get up early

[horns666]

Thanks Bibz..wassup Phil.

Any of you dudes heard of the guys? Mors Principium Est is the name. Seem like a solid melo-death band. I just discovered them while doing some Youtubing. Here's a few examples:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-DSMFiV5s48 (Clean vocals for part of it)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iIQKRN4lJSE (Not so clean vocals)

Only listened to a few songs so far. I kinda like what they have going.

Yes, I met them at BW and BK. They're from Finland and couldn't speak english very well. I asked their guitarist to sign their second cd for me. He got all excited and gave me T shirts and the cd. Then insisted my singer bud and I give him our autographs and take pics with them.. :ROTF: We insisted they take the $15 dollars and our autographs. We signed some pieces of paper they gave us. They had to think we were someone else...they were very happy.

Great band..I just picked up their last "Liberation = Termination"..

that shit was funny!

Bloodbath is most definitely metal. Started to recapture the glory days of stockholm deathmetal, circa '92. 4 track EP, got so popular they recorded an album (ressurection through carnage). Its in B, modernising it a bit, and in the wacken video you can see swano playing it on a right handed 7string baritone...left handed. Brutal.

Thank you Sir! That song is a BROOOTAL MF'er. I didnt notice the damn baritone though, it doesnt bother me to watch that video again though

Endrik takes the win with the best video though. Even though there is no Jackson guitars to drool over this has to be the most watched in this thread.

I was contemplating how exactly I got into all this rather fun to listen to death metal stuff and I finally remember how. I got this particular song stuck in my head for about 2 weeks:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uBsbV7r78uo

It's such a catchy tune.

It's crazy how one song can change your whole perspective on music. There's something about "Man of the King" that I've always liked. It's my 2nd or 3rd most listened-to song with nearly 150 on it's play count(Doesn't sound like much but I always switch songs half way through so it's probably more like triple of that).

I met this old man about 15 years ago in Wichita Falls Texas and he picks up this Saw and starts playing it. I later found out that he was a bad ass fiddle player. When they were younger they drank and had barn dances. He told me he liked music as fast and furious as it could be played. I wonder if these guys could have been the original headbangers

[horns666]

I turned Jeri onto Bloodbath years ago..when "Nightmares made flesh" came out. "EATIN....My one desire my only wish is to be EEEEEATIN" Peter Tangren (Hypocrisy) sings on that one..I mean growls. Like I said good singers make the best growlers. growlers that can't sing can suck my PP...SUCK IT!!!!

Dan Swano, Peter Tangren and Mike Akerfeldt..have very similar clean voices and growls. It must be a Sweden thing! Dan Swano is in a zillion different things..I have most of them.

Wassup Ben...Phil...Gin, you're welcome brotha!!

I'll keep 'em coming when I can..while Phil posts the nasty stuff. Hey, something for everybody..
