New Year's Eve Celebrations/Parties

Hey, the molesting children and lip synching are one thing, but there is nothing wrong with showing a Boob. Well, not really wrong. Most countries it would be accepted.

While I agree with that statement, I think its a shame that metal gets the bad rep it so often does. Its okay to sing about constantly changing sexual partners, objectifying women, shooting people in the streets, how much money you have, and thats just a Justin Timberlake or Britany Spears record.

Metal (and I'm not a big metal fan, though I respect it) is more about pent up anger and rage. You rarely hear as much metal that is really just violent like you do other genres of music, it just sounds angry.

Its funny how you can talk about killing someone in your song and make it so happy and bouncy that people dance to it and smile. But talk about your feelings and discuss your anger, and just because you have hard hitting music and are screaming, you automatically worship the Devil.

It truly is a sick sad world.

I agree, Clint.

Wait, is that what metal is? ;-) I thought it was about partying and getting laid. Oh wait, that's the 80's Metal Edge bands......

I remember when Poison was considered "satan music". LOL!

Personally I am a 100% *music* person and could really care less about lyrics.

Thats the 'hair metal' sub-genre, tina. I stay away from that if at all possible, but WFYB;).

I mostly listen to the 80's but not so much the "hair metal" like I used to.

Lately I have been listening to alot of Nickelback and early 90's stuff.

I should broaden my horizons and check out some of Danny's and Coasterpunk's bands. ;-)

-Tina

Poison??? lol, don't get me started....
i always wanted to see a rumble between Poison and Gun's & Roses.

Tina, thats how I am with music. I could care less about what they sing about as long as I like the music. If you want to hear some Grind, Death, and Black drop me an email with a list of heavier stuff you like and I'll try to think of some bands.

Some interesting thing I found out a few weeks ago, Tom Araya of Slayer doesn't curse outside of the band, he's a devout Cathlioc, and is a family man with 2 kids. Who would have thought with song titles like Hell Awaits, South Of Heaven, an Altar Of Sacrifice.

Yeah, I'd have a bit of pent up rage if that were my life. It all makes sense now. :)

Ha! Comment Of The Week! :)

Well, Gonch, at least you aren't Catholic, are you;)?

Hey, I only have one of the three - 2 kids. Maybe that's why I'm only a little angry?

Speaking of 80's bands are you going to see Motley Crue next year when they go on tour?

---

I have Crue tickets... I hang my head in shame. :)

So your going to see Motley Crue. How about King Diamond in April? :)

I just got home from seeing Hatebreed, Agnostic Front, Candiria, God Forbid, Full Blown Chaos, 100 Demons and a few other bands! I went to see the hardcore pioneeres AF but was amazed at how Hatebreed got everyone to move. I'm already looking forward to seeing Gwar again next month! :)

Oh my. Gwar.

You'll be an interesting one to meet in person, Dan. I'll be sure to let you know when I'm going to Kneobles;).

Gonch, no need to hang your head in shame. I am envious! :-D

Dan, as far as the "band experience" I was thinking the same......no real "meet and greet" just a quick photo and that's it.

It would be sorta like getting your picture made with Santa Claus. There would be a line and you would have a few seconds to talk to them before the photographer yells "Next!" :-)

Oh, I checked out the Prosthetic **** website. Very..........um, interesting. ;-) Disturbing, but funny nonetheless. The album covers are a riot! The soundclips will probably induce nightmares but it was fun listening. :-)

No sound clips there. They are entire songs! 40 songs 20 minutes thats grindcore! PxCx just crack me up with the sound bites Loony Tunes, Simpsons, Monty Python, tons of movie clips "even one with several bits from Vacation". I love the machine gun speed of the drum machines. OH YEA!

I think I may need to pick up some tickets for Motley Crue as well! :)

One of local radio stations here in Des Moines had a petition online to bring the Crue to DSM and they are annoucing a concert on Mancow on Monday.

I also heard about Slayer being like that, they were all "devil worshippers" but get them off stage and they are the coolest people to hang around with and don't even practice that.

Speaking of Slayer, did anyone catch VH-1 100 greatest metal moments, they had one of Slayer almost kicking Biohazard off their tour as one of the members of the band walked in with crap (being nice) on his face.

Heh. I plan on checking them out again when they hit Pittsburgh too. Now can I hang my head in shame?

Truth is, the Pitt show should be at the Ampitheatre and I kind of want to see them in an indoor setting. Cleveland's show is at Gund, so consider me there.

I always wanted to see them as a kid but never got the chance. I don't expect the hip-replacement Mick era of 2005 to touch the Tommy spinning drum kit after mainlining coke and JD era of 1987 - but you take what you can get in life. :)

Most Metal Moments was a cool show. My favorite was with Mayhem #69 . I like their music but I must say they have had the most disturbing soap opera of a story in the early 90's. Singer Dead (that was his stagename) blows his brains out with a shotgun, band members find his body, they take pictues ,use one of them for an album cover, before calling the police they cook his brains eat them, and make necklaces out of parts of his skull and give them to members of other bands. If thats not bad enough, several years later their new bass player Count Grishnackh kills Euronymous a forming member of the band because he has a more "evil" reputation. CRAZY!

To think gangster rappers here in the US think they are bad.

I wasn't very happy with the #1. Hear N'Aid who even remembers that? #1 should have been Dio inventing \m/ "THE HORNS" \m/ instead of #3. You can't go to any concert without seeing people throwing up the horns!

Motley Crue is Motley Crue even if they are all old, fat, and balding. Only if they would be playing dressed like the "Shout At The Devil" days with the leather, and makeup! then again who wants to see fat dudes in leather.

Mick Mars is what, about 60 now? :-)He was *old* even back in the day. ;-)

I saw them twice during the "Dr. Feelgood" tour which was awesome. I think that was about the time they all went sober (or first real attempts to go sober) , or something like that. lol.

We were talking about the Crue's old videos/songs today at work, laughing about them of course. Remember "Looks That Kill" with the flying pentagram and everything?

Still love the songs (especially LiveWire from their first album) but I just wonder if the band cringes at those old videos now. They are funny to watch, especially MOtley's "Uncensored" documentary.

The best is the Too Young To Fall in Love video, like a comical Kung Fu movie. The best part is at the end when they are leaving the restaruant and Tommy tastes the food and spits it out!

That ranks up there with Ratt's Round and Round video where the guitar player fall thru the ceiling only to land on a familys table while they are eating dinner just as it's time for him to play his solo!!! :)

MTV needs to break out these old classics!
