True metal vs trends

[horns666]

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

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!

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...

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

[VitaminG]

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

[Endrik]

uh yeah... that post didn't make any sense

I'm not big on the maiden style vox, that usually go hand in hand with powermetal/progstuff, but it totally works in zh. I obviously wrongly lump it all together. Some maiden obviously rocks, I just never seem to have got into all that stuff.

[VitaminG]

no probs, man. You like what you like.

But you're not the first person I've heard refer to Maiden in those terms & I never got it. Their lyrical content has always had more of an historical bent. Or they've dealt with madness or the occult.

Although, plenty of Maiden's offspring have favoured the dragon-humping lyrics & imagery. A lot of the Euro Power Metal that followed has taken Maiden's galloping rhythm, harmony leads & soaring vocals and used to recount their adventures in D&D World (of course, removing any reference to Hit Points or 8 sided dice).

[bibz]

Haha exactly, I guess it really is just ignorance that lumps maiden in there with them, they are a massive influence on alot of bands. Its the d&d nerds in the maiden shirts that creates the loop. Whenever I went to any IT related class, theres garunteed to be one of them

Check out "I Am The Devil" if you can.. I tried to find a video but couldn't. The song is ridiculously catchy and even has a bad ass early Helloween part!

And by the way, I was just listening to the album in your avatar!

[Ben...]

Bad ass Helloween part you say? SOLD! I will look for it as soon as I have some time.

Awakening the World is amazing hence why I have it as my avatar.
