00:00:02.760 --> 00:00:26.800
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, metal's my religion, and yeah, it's my dome. Standing in the thunder on stage in the pouring metal rain. What a feeling, baby, the lights are exploding.

00:00:56.860 --> 00:00:58.640
Hello and welcome to the Metalheads Podcast.

00:00:58.760 --> 00:01:28.420
My name is George. And Jay. And we don't sound happy. Well, hey, it was a rough week, dude. Yes, it was. We have all kinds of bad news for you today. Basically, everybody died. That's it. That's our news this year. And I'm not necessarily talking about what George is about to talk about. Yeah, pretty much the main thing on everybody's mind today, whether you're metal or not, is the tragedy in Paris.

00:01:28.760 --> 00:01:58.720
What the fuck? I gotta tell you, I'm pretty fucking sick of this shit. I second that notion. You know, I'm a pretty easygoing guy, but this whole terrorism thing, ever since, you know, 9-11, has really fucking irked me, to put it mildly. It's just the true definition of the word terrorism. It's terror. Yeah. It's just individuals just trying to

00:01:58.920 --> 00:02:28.720
Strike Fear in people. Obviously, the first thing we need to do is say that our thoughts are with all of those people in Paris and the rest of the world who lost people there that day, two days ago, that is. We're thinking about you. Yes. Oh, well, what's the next Rainbows unicorn story you have next, George? Well, we'll get to more of the bad news when we get to the news, but there's a couple things I wanted to talk about first. It's nearing the end of the year, and so it's getting ready to be time for us to

00:02:28.760 --> 00:02:58.540
our year-end episode is set to record four weeks from now. So, yeah, it's time to start thinking about that. And I'm like, I was telling Jay that I was starting to compile my list in earnest, and I'm up to 72 bands on my list. I can probably, without too much difficulty, flush that out to 100. But we're only going to do 25 on the podcast. The others are going to be sort of 75 honorable mentions on the website.

00:02:58.640 --> 00:03:26.820
I guess. I'm having fun with mine already, dude. Are you kind of putting some pieces around in order? I think it's going to be hard as hell. Oh, it's hard. Oh, it's hard. It's like, oh my gosh. I'm just going to, at some point, it's just going to be like, you know, 11th hour and I'm going to be like, fuck it. This is number one. This is number two. You know, what are you going to do? No, no, no, no, no, no. Dude, I got a record that rocketed in. Me too. That just came in and sits firmly in my number two spot. My number one spot. I mean, you'd have to,

00:03:28.660 --> 00:03:57.200
out again for me to knock that off. My number two is firm in place now at this point. I mean, I got my list, but it's one and two. Nothing's going to touch these two records until we get there. And I feel that's true. I think my six-month list is going to be shaken up pretty bit. Oh, mine is. Does Dock Times guard even stay on the list? God, I don't even know. Because remember, you made that statement. I mean, as soon as it was in number one, I said it's not going to be, it's moving to number two.

00:03:58.620 --> 00:04:28.580
was for Between the Buried and Me, which has also just sort of fallen by the wayside. Because while it is an incredibly amazing album, it does not have high replay quality. Because it gets kind of annoying after a while. So, yeah, it'll be somewhere. Let's use this as evidence that it's been a great fucking year, dude. Yeah, I think there's just so much good music. I can assure you our lists will probably be carbon copies of each other, because we're so similar. I don't know about that.

00:04:28.640 --> 00:04:47.340
I've done that. Bukes will be all death metal. Mine will be all black metal. Mine's all over the map. Yeah. Yeah. John's will be all intelligent and smart. And Wills will be Wills. Yeah. Wills will be just gruesome, gruesome, gruesome, gruesome.

00:04:58.640 --> 00:05:28.360
situation. But my friend Ryan, he brought up a couple points when we were at work the other day. One of which I will save for him when I hopefully get him in here. It was a great discussion. But the one point, one question I wanted to bring up to both of you guys is, is there a band or an artist or any music that you could recommend to somebody who likes metal, but maybe wants to step away for a couple hours?

00:05:28.920 --> 00:05:58.540
It's still a little heavy, but it's not metal. Like a heavy piece of classical, or like a heavy... I know maybe... I thought this question in my head as he was saying it to me. I was thinking maybe like some Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds type of stuff. Oh, yeah. Maybe something kind of along those lines. Is there anything that you could maybe... There's a lot of stuff that I like that isn't metal that's still kind of dark. Yeah, still kind of dark. Yeah, like Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds is a huge one for me. I'm a huge Nick Cave fan. Did you see the story about his son who was on drugs?

00:05:58.620 --> 00:06:28.600
when you fell and died? I did not. It was on heroin or something. Meth or something. Some pretty crazy drug when you fell and died. He was young too. Tom Waits is another good one. I really love Tom Waits. Leonard Cohen, man. I love his voice. You see him around a lot lately for an old guy. For what it's worth, one of the best concerts I've ever seen. Yes. We saw him in San Jose and I'm not joking, dude. I walked away just thinking that was one of the greatest performances

00:06:28.640 --> 00:06:58.480
I've ever seen. Who is that guy? Leonard Cohen. What is his style? It's... He's like poetic. He's a 60s poet who's aged well, and he's kind of all over the map. It's sort of like... What the fuck is that? I mean, it's not pop or anything like that. No, it's just sort of folky... Folk rock. Folk rock. You know, it's not like jingly like Simon and Garfunkel, but... Yeah. I don't know. Matt, when I saw him,

00:06:58.620 --> 00:07:00.020
when they played Hallelujah.

00:07:01.080 --> 00:07:02.080
I was fucking in tears.

00:07:02.380 --> 00:07:05.500
You probably know that song because everybody in the world has covered Hallelujah.

00:07:06.100 --> 00:07:06.360
Yeah.

00:07:07.280 --> 00:07:08.220
And he's-

00:07:08.220 --> 00:07:14.780
But I mean, also there's a lot of bands that metal fans are into that we're all into.

00:07:14.780 --> 00:07:18.680
I would suggest bands like, I mean, some of them are obvious, but almost every metal

00:07:18.680 --> 00:07:19.660
guy likes Pink Floyd.

00:07:19.660 --> 00:07:20.220
You know what I mean?

00:07:20.220 --> 00:07:22.400
And almost every metal guy likes The Who.

00:07:22.460 --> 00:07:24.600
Like, you know, pick up The Who live at Leeds.

00:07:24.600 --> 00:07:27.220
That's not a metal record, but holy fucking shit, you know?

00:07:28.200 --> 00:07:57.200
He's a punk guy. He's my age. His punk is... Of course, he respects the Ramones in them, but his punk is more of your late 80s, 90s, like growing up watching skateboard videos, punk bands. The who? The Godfather's of Punk. Like Rancid and those type of bands. Yeah, the bubblegum punk. Like the Green Days and the Rancids.

00:07:58.800 --> 00:08:27.300
Bad Religion, Bad Religion, I really like All and the Descendants. I like those guys. He probably likes these already if he's a punk guy, but seriously, man, two of the bands that I love, and I love just as much as a lot of the metal I listen to, is the Stooges and the MC5, dude. I would highly suggest those to any metal fan. It's kind of roots metal, roots rock stuff, but roots punk something, I don't know how to explain it, but god damn, those are good records. Sisters of Mercy. Okay. Yeah, a lot of the goth stuff, you know,

00:08:27.340 --> 00:08:57.300
A lot of the goth stuff would go over big with the metal. It was like heavy goth. They sort of crossed over with the metal crowd a bit. I fucking love Sisters of Mercy. They haven't put on a new album in forever, but the first three albums, good stuff. Yeah, that's a good one, George. That's a good call. And you mentioned classical, and so there was two things I wanted to go with there. First of all, the most metal of all classical composers, Wagner. Fucking Ride of the Valkyries, bitches. That is some fucking metal.

00:08:57.400 --> 00:09:26.080
That's some ISIS bombing music there. We used to crank that in the car when we'd drive around getting up to nefarious deeds in high school. Fucking blaring levels. And another one that it's so fucking metal but it's not metal is the Conan the Barbarian soundtrack. I have that on vinyl. That shit is fucking tight. That's awesome.

00:09:26.780 --> 00:09:56.680
See, he is a loyal listener. Almost listens to episodes a couple times. And I thought this was a great question. I got one more, though. I want to throw one more out. One of the other most metal classical pieces of all time. Mozart's Requiem. Dude, it's fucking scary, dude. Yeah, I remember I got into that one. It's a scary fucking song. I mean, it's a scary movement. It's huge. It's long. Yeah, Holst's Planets. Oh, Karl Orff.

00:09:57.899 --> 00:10:26.600
You know, I gotta tell you, this is funny. There was no reason I was not gonna mention this. There's no shame about it, but I gave my wife a birthday present and we cashed in that birthday present last night. I gave her two tickets to the Magic Flute. Nice. Yeah, so we went and saw the opera last night. I went and saw the San Francisco opera last night. And you know what? It was amazing. Oh yeah, opera's great. Did you wear tux? No, but I did dress up pretty nice. But I've also, I gotta give a nod to my friend who was like, he thought that I gave her two tickets that were like, honey,

00:10:26.800 --> 00:10:54.600
Anytime you want to cash them in, you get a ticket to the magic flute. Two tickets to paradise. Anyway, it was awesome. It's not the first. We also went to Madame Butterfly one time years ago. My wife's parents are into the opera and classical shows and not necessarily opera, but they do opera. I've been to a few shows with them. It's really interesting.

00:10:56.780 --> 00:11:26.580
is not in English. It's like Italian, I think, is the default language. This was translated, I'm sorry, I do want to say this was translated into English, and it was sort of a multimedia production. And they sort of modernized some of the jokes and shit. That's cool. But it was great. And you know what? It's where we would have been if we lived back then. I'm telling you. Oh, yeah. Totally. Instead of a podcast, we'd be writing on scrolls. It would be the opera head scroll cast. Fucking Paganini bitches!

00:11:29.800 --> 00:11:56.740
Maybe then you could write good, George. No. Still write better than you. Yes, exactly. Like Buick's joke is, I don't have to run faster than the bear, I just have to run faster than George. I don't have to write better than anybody else, I just gotta write better than Buick. Exactly. And talk better when George got both of those. Which, you know, if you haven't checked it out yet,

00:11:56.800 --> 00:12:26.760
please make sure to check out the new we are metalheads.com website we got some reviews up there Jay's killing it you got all you guys are I've got more coming you know I've got I got the Exodus pictures from Sergey and why he didn't put the King Diamond pictures on the same thumb drive I don't know so my review is close to ready to go I'm gonna put that up soon the review of that show it's a little bit less timely but the store the tour is still going on so okay since I don't see it on the script I know you're gonna write it up for those people who can't or don't want to read

00:12:26.780 --> 00:12:55.300
Can you just give a quick synopsis of the King Diamond show you attended? Oh, I would love to. Absolutely, yeah. Otherwise, Buick will never know. Well, first off, Exodus opened the show, and Exodus was Exodus. They only had a 30-minute set, Exodus, for some reason, and that's fine. Which, by the way, you know, when I go see a band, I don't need 12 opening bands, so this was actually the perfect night. Exodus came out, played 30 minutes, seen Exodus a million times, 30 minutes was fine for me.

00:12:56.820 --> 00:12:57.240
He wasn't with him.

00:12:57.960 --> 00:12:58.020
Nope.

00:12:58.900 --> 00:12:59.760
And I did look that up.

00:12:59.760 --> 00:13:01.600
Has he been with him ever since he joined Slayer?

00:13:01.680 --> 00:13:02.660
Has he gone back with them?

00:13:03.040 --> 00:13:05.200
Yeah, I think it was probably just conflicting.

00:13:06.460 --> 00:13:10.380
But I think I did go back and look and Slayer did have something going on.

00:13:10.380 --> 00:13:12.000
They were playing some dates or something.

00:13:12.220 --> 00:13:14.400
So it's the bigger paycheck for him, I'm sure.

00:13:15.060 --> 00:13:18.940
But the guy who played guitar instead of Gary Holt was the dude from Heathen, whose name I forget.

00:13:20.020 --> 00:13:22.940
Let us not also forget that I will be sharing these soon.

00:13:23.000 --> 00:13:52.420
We have amazing photos because Liz got us a really great photo pass, which was just wonderful. So can't wait to see him. Yeah. And okay. So anyway, so that was great. Exodus was cool. Nice setup time and everything. And I didn't know this, but I wonder if you two did. But King Diamond's Dr. Doctor, do you guys know what it is? I'm assuming the song that Iron Maiden takes the stage to. It's the song that plays right before the band comes on. Yeah. It's you call it their Dr. Doctor.

00:13:53.000 --> 00:14:22.400
Yes. But what is King Diamond's? I don't know. I happen to know he's a huge David Byron fan. Is it David Byron? I'll have to look that up. But anyway. Anyway, it was Uriah Heaps the Wizard. But it was so obvious that it was like the last one. It got louder. The lights went down and they played the whole song. That's the first song off of Demons and Wizards. And again, I know King Diamond's a huge David Byron fan. So I'd wager they play that every time.

00:14:22.960 --> 00:14:52.780
All right, so then he came out and just did, and you know what? I will say this. He sounded amazing. He sounded amazing. That's what we said. Yeah. I mean, there's no, and to kind of drive that point home, when he got to parts of which there are many where there's harmonies, you know, that he's able on the album to record multiple parts, he only ever sang the highest note in that harmony. He never cheated. You know what I mean? Wow. Yeah, and it was great. They did kind of choice,

00:14:53.819 --> 00:15:22.800
I got to hear the immortal words. We're going to repaint the front door soon. Best metal line ever. And then it did two couldn't have chosen better Merciful Fate tracks did fucking Melissa and Come to the Sabbath. And then they just proceeded to do the whole Abigail record from start to finish. They did it better than the way I think most bands like when I saw Anthrax do Among the Living from start to finish. They like broke it up. You know what I mean? They were like, OK, now we're going to do a bunch of this.

00:15:22.960 --> 00:15:52.140
and we'll come back and do some more. King Diamond was like, fuck that. There's a concept record. He did it from start to finish. Did not stop. Whole show. And that was it. And I have one more thing, and I'll mention this in my review. Andy LaRocque does not get enough fucking credit. And I've always thought that. He's badass. Dude, he's like the birth of Shred, because if you go back and listen to Abigail. And that was it. It was an amazing show. Sergey, our bass player, went with me. He took the photos. He's got a real nice camera and knows how to work it better than me.

00:15:52.960 --> 00:16:22.900
I do have a review coming soon, but I was blown away. And I also have to say for all of my love of merciful fate never seen King Diamond before this. Yeah. Yeah. I've only seen him twice. And the second time was just last year. So, yep. Yeah. You guys went and it was just a non tour tour, right? I mean, he didn't do, he wasn't supporting the record, right? It was just like, you know, I'm back. It's almost kind of like his ramp up. Cause remember he did mayhem over the summer. Yeah. It was kind of like, Oh, I should also mention too, was in the war field.

00:16:23.000 --> 00:16:52.900
than San Francisco, which is usually just a fucking sound tornado, but it sounded great. Everything was mixed all night long really well. And one weird thing, I haven't seen this in years, cash only at the merch booth. Really? Yeah. Huh. Which I thought was weird. So I was running to the ATM because I did pick up two super kick-ass Abigail hoodies for me and my buddy Buke. Did he, and thank you for that, did he have the stage set with the big stairs going up?

00:16:52.960 --> 00:17:22.900
The Rode Iron Fence, yep. Inverted crosses and the pentagrams light up and stuff. The whole thing. You know, and it's a big stage set, so... And I kind of even just looked at some of the venues on the rest of the tour, and there's got to be some places you can't set that whole fucking thing up. Because Orfield's big, you know, but as far as the stage is concerned. But yeah, the stage was amazing. Light Show was amazing. He had his wife there doing all the characters and shit like she does. It was a fucking killer, dudes. It was a great show. That's awesome. That was my show of the year. That was the best show I went to this year.

00:17:22.980 --> 00:17:52.920
Not surprising. Nope. Nope. So there you go. All right. I do want to kind of say real quick, this is where we would normally feature a band. And we were going to feature a band here from the Bay Area called Arsa, A-R-S-A, kind of a Viking metal stuff. Really good stuff. Good friends of mine. They practice at our rehearsal space down the aisle from us. And they just finished a record. Unfortunately, it just kind of didn't come together in time. I was kind of pushing Mike, the drummer,

00:17:52.980 --> 00:18:16.860
to really please, please, please get me some stuff. We couldn't get the tracks in time. The guys still want to be on the show. So I'm going to take some of the blame for us not featuring a band this week. Didn't work out, but we will get RSA again in the future. So this is normally where there would have been a band. We'll feature those guys at some later date. You just get more of us now. You get more of us, and you can't go wrong there. Yep. All right, now let's start talking about all the people that died.

00:18:29.760 --> 00:18:30.740
Yeah, so.

00:18:31.580 --> 00:18:32.160
What the fuck?

00:18:32.340 --> 00:18:36.720
Before everything went to shit in Paris, there was already plenty of bad news to go around.

00:18:36.900 --> 00:18:39.740
I just looked up the news story to go back to an earlier callback.

00:18:40.100 --> 00:18:40.800
Nick Cave's son.

00:18:41.000 --> 00:18:41.380
LSD.

00:18:41.980 --> 00:18:42.440
Oh, okay.

00:18:42.680 --> 00:18:43.760
At 15 or 16.

00:18:43.960 --> 00:18:44.680
Can you believe that?

00:18:45.720 --> 00:18:46.460
So in his mind.

00:18:47.380 --> 00:18:50.760
Yeah, in his mind, he's going to land on some nice mushrooms.

00:18:51.420 --> 00:18:51.760
No, no, no.

00:18:51.880 --> 00:19:21.320
In his mind, he was falling for like an hour. He was just like, God damn, this is taking forever. So it was a sad week this past week when we learned that Phil Filthy Animal Taylor died at 61. Obviously, most people would know him as the drummer for Motorhead during their classic period. I didn't even know he was sick. All they said was that he died from an illness. I saw some interview a while back.

00:19:21.400 --> 00:19:50.420
with him. I mean, it was a text interview. It wasn't a video or anything. And he made reference to an illness. And it was sort of like, and he didn't say what it was. He was just like, oh, yeah, yeah, I couldn't take part in that because, you know, I've been sick. And that was like, yeah, that was all I heard. So probably cancer or something. I'm inclined to say. You know, I do want to say, too, that for all the years they've lasted, for all they've done, my favorite incarnation of Motorhead is still the original Motorhead with Fast Eddie, Phil, and Lemmy.

00:19:51.140 --> 00:19:53.800
So I'm sorry to hear that he's gone.

00:19:54.080 --> 00:20:08.440
There was the, you know, I always go on Reddit and that fucking cracks me up the comments, even though it's a brutal fucking place. The lead comment was, so you're telling me Lemmy is the last surviving original member?

00:20:08.900 --> 00:20:10.760
No, he's not. Because Fast Eddie's still around.

00:20:11.200 --> 00:20:15.940
But they're saying, so you tell me that Lemmy didn't die first?

00:20:16.380 --> 00:20:16.500
Yeah.

00:20:17.900 --> 00:20:19.060
That's what it was.

00:20:19.140 --> 00:20:48.900
That was my comment too. It was like, what? He beat Lemmy? It is shocking. Lemmy didn't go first. Amazing. And he was younger than Lemmy. Yeah. Oh, no. That's exactly what George texted, actually. He was like, what? Yeah. So, but I mean, you know, Phil, all those guys, they all took speed for like 10 years, you know? Yeah. And Phil was a heavy smoker and probably drinker and God knows what else drugs he was into. And his teeth, man. Oh, my gosh. That photo that we've been seeing. He's like,

00:20:49.120 --> 00:21:19.040
A. That's a rough one. A rotted mouthful of teeth. I wonder what kind of life he was living. I mean, was he? Not a motorhead life, probably a healthy one. Well, but he hasn't been in Motorhead for like 15 years at least. Yeah, so were there still any checks coming in or what? I don't know. It didn't look like he, I mean, I was looking, I was wondering what he'd been doing and I couldn't really tell. Yeah, well, sad news. On the street corner playing Ace of Spades over and over again. Yeah. So this week we also lost Dolores Rhodes, the mother of Randy Rhodes,

00:21:19.520 --> 00:21:48.320
She died at 95. Wow. You know, I went and watched an interview with her. That must have been linked to Blabbermouth or something when this news came on. And you know what? Honestly, what an obviously sincere and pleasant woman. Yeah. Yeah, like seriously, like not one of the, I mean, it's not like watching an interview with Sharon Osbourne. She was just like, you could tell her whole family, because they also interviewed Randy's sister, were like, just the biggest, geekiest, didn't give a shit about fame people in the world. Yeah, she was a music teacher.

00:21:48.420 --> 00:22:18.380
I remember that much. And as everybody knows, probably as you know, I don't know, actually maybe me, George and I know, I don't know, maybe the younger fans don't know anymore, but D on... I was just going to say that. Yeah, on... Is it on Blizzard? I think it's on Blizzard, yeah. Is written after Randy's mother. So actually it was a song for her. Yep. Is the talk true that Randy was going to be leaving? Yep. Yeah. He was just bored with that. That's why Ozzy killed him. Dude, I remember...

00:22:18.400 --> 00:22:48.380
I remember very well reading an interview with Randy Rhodes before he died. I remember this like, you know, and people used to say what he would have done. Was he an outspoken guy, Jay? Because I haven't heard much. No, he was quiet. But I mean, you can find some of these interviews online. And I remember this one very specific interview in like Guitar World magazine. And at almost every tour stop, he would hire the local classical guitar teacher. And he would go in and say, here's what I know, teach me some more. His very much his intention was to be able to teach me some more.

00:22:48.400 --> 00:23:18.380
to get out of he was gonna go get his master's degree in classical music and that was his plan like after the Dyer of a Madman tour yeah no more metal no and he wanted to be a classical musician yeah after that plane crash how was your guys reaction I was not yet that was that was 81 yeah I just didn't know if it was like because I still remember when I found out when Dimebag was killed I didn't really listen to Ozzy until like 83 okay but also it was I didn't find out until I read about it

00:23:18.420 --> 00:23:20.420
But like in a like, honestly,

00:23:20.560 --> 00:23:21.580
got like a hip writer magazine.

00:23:21.720 --> 00:23:22.720
Yeah, I remember reading it.

00:23:23.020 --> 00:23:24.960
One day it was on the news and forget it, you know.

00:23:25.800 --> 00:23:30.720
So then you, your introduction into solo Ozzy was Jack stuff?

00:23:31.360 --> 00:23:31.540
No.

00:23:32.480 --> 00:23:34.860
My first Ozzy album was Bark at the Moon.

00:23:34.980 --> 00:23:35.760
So that was Jakey Lee.

00:23:36.160 --> 00:23:36.220
Okay.

00:23:36.780 --> 00:23:38.500
But I was aware of.

00:23:38.680 --> 00:23:40.820
See, now that's how naive I am.

00:23:41.000 --> 00:23:42.040
Jack didn't come in right away.

00:23:42.400 --> 00:23:42.640
No.

00:23:42.940 --> 00:23:43.100
Okay.

00:23:43.760 --> 00:23:43.840
No.

00:23:44.040 --> 00:23:45.040
Mine was Diary of the Mad Men.

00:23:45.640 --> 00:23:53.740
But I didn't know. I'm not joking. It might have been weeks or months before I knew Randy

00:23:53.880 --> 00:24:14.480
Rose was killed in an airplane crash. Because it just was not an internet world. And I lived in a small town. And I think it might have been, like I said, some circus magazine that came out or something. And I have to tell you, it didn't freak me out. I don't think I really understood what was different about him than other guys. And Ozzy, to be perfectly blunt, wasn't my favorite artist. I mean, it was not cool.

00:24:15.060 --> 00:24:44.480
Looking here, Jake E. Lee, the guy really didn't do much afterwards. No, he's been sort of off the scene for a number of years. He just, like within the last couple years, came back with his dragon cartel. Yeah, red dragon. Nice. Dude, you're fucking pulled. Score one for George. Red dragon cartel. Yeah. Man. George has the vinyl. He can't play anymore. I've seen videos, and honestly, he basically just plays rhythm through them. He lost his skill.

00:24:44.520 --> 00:25:14.500
He did Bark at the Moon, Ultimate Sin, and then did stuff with Badlands. A couple albums. That was his band. Yeah, he did three albums with Badlands and then their singer died. Oh, really? Yeah. But by the way, a kick-ass sort of metal rock, blues rock band. Yeah, they were kind of cool. They did a self-title Voodoo Highway, Dusk. Any of those good worth checking out? Voodoo Highway was good. Get the first one. If you're going to check one out, I mean, check them all out, but get the first one. It's like, it's like kind of White

00:25:14.540 --> 00:25:44.500
They look so 80s, don't they? Yeah. Long hair. There's some famous guys in that band. Who was? There was some... I like this talk, boys. Badlands, the first album. The album features Ray Gillian. Ray Gillian. He's the one that died. Eric Singer. Eric Singer, drummer from Kiss. And House Cooper. Bassist Greg Cassian. Yeah, I don't know him. But it was the Eric Singer that I remembered. Yeah, you should check him out. Ray and Eric formerly played

00:25:44.540 --> 00:26:14.420
together in Sabbath. Right. Yeah, I got that record when it came out because I was a Jakey Lee fan. And I remember... Are you a Getty Lee fan? What's that? Are you a Getty Lee fan? Hell yeah. Everybody is. But I spent a summer listening to that Badlands record. That was a good record. What the hell are we talking about? We're just having fun. We're going to get there one more morbid fucking news. Yeah, I'm trying to spice it up. And then from there on out, I think it's reasonably... Oh, shit.

00:26:14.540 --> 00:26:43.740
Just what I saw on Reddit. Last time we talked about the fire in Bucharest, the Goodbye to Gravity show. Since then, the bass player for the band has died, and the death toll at last count was up to 51. And I was glad to see that the club owners were finally arrested. And if I'm not mistaken, there was only one surviving member in that band now. Am I making that up? The drummer? Singer, I think, is still alive.

00:26:44.540 --> 00:27:14.120
Yeah, both guitar players and the bass player. I never hear anything about the drummer. Me either. Actually, I know you mentioned it, so I might have that wrong. And as I recall, the singer was burned over like 80% of his body or something. Yeah, I do. I'm sorry to remember that. Ay-yi-yi. I've been getting emails. I don't know about you guys, probably because I'm on all these publicist lists, but I've been getting emails asking for money to support the victims of the fire. No, I haven't gotten that.

00:27:14.520 --> 00:27:44.380
I mean, it's kind of shady looking. I don't know if it's real or not. Sure, yeah. So it looks like all my conspiracy theories are correct. Guns N' Roses is rumored now, it's officially rumored, to be doing a reunion tour. Everybody's saying that it's the secret that everybody knows. Apparently they are booking a bunch of shows for next year. That's not what I wanted to hear, though. I wanted to hear a new album. We'll see if that happens.

00:27:46.440 --> 00:28:14.260
A reunion tour frequently leads to a reunion record. Yeah, I hope so. I mean, I would like to see them. I never got to see them originally. I was kind of like, eh, I heard Axl didn't sing very well. Yeah, I've heard now he's horrible. Actually, I saw him on the Lady or whatever, and he sounded really good. Yeah, he's good now. He sings good now. I think he lives a better lifestyle now. Well, I saw them, as mentioned once on this podcast, in a club.

00:28:17.240 --> 00:28:44.500
I'd be curious to hear if it's really the lineup is it like Stephen Adler that's the one I'm wondering is Stephen now they're gonna be involved I don't know if he is able since his stroke I don't know if he can even play oh he had a stroke how long recent was this it was a few years ago he had a yeah okay I don't know I think coke stroke no I think he's fine now because he still can't talk though nice well he talks funny he talked like he had a stroke me talk pretty someday yeah he um

00:28:44.540 --> 00:29:14.500
Well, there it is. You got your wish. I mean, it's not announced yet, of course, but people like Nikki Sixx are saying it's happening. Yeah. I'm okay if Matt Sorum's on drums, but, you know, give me Duff and Slash and Izzy. Can I get Buckethead back into group? Shut up. If they come around here, I'm totally going. So I saw this article on Blabbermouth the other day where they were talking to Joey Z from Life of Agony, and apparently people have made comparisons

00:29:15.040 --> 00:29:44.440
between Volbeat and Life of Agony. And I was like, I hear it. I'm like, yeah. That's probably why I like Volbeat. Because the dude's clean vocals are very Keith Caputo or Mina Caputo, if you prefer. Jay, you ever listen to Life of Agony? No. No. But you can make me try. Just listen to River Runs Red. River Runs Red. Just start right there and end right there. Nah, man. Don't go to Ugly. Ugly's good too.

00:29:44.520 --> 00:30:14.500
But River Runs Red is a classic. In fact, I was probably like 94. I could have been my classic this week. Oh, well, it's not. Yeah, no, I don't know these dudes. I mean, I know of them. But likewise, I've never listened to Volbeat, by the way. And I know they're kind of a big, big in Europe, huge in Europe. Yeah, they're a big deal. And I really like their last album a lot. Maybe they're kind of big here. Maybe two. I think they are. Yeah. Yeah. Somebody was asking Joey Z, whom I've met, what he felt like.

00:30:14.560 --> 00:30:43.599
about that and he was just kind of like yeah what you know what are you gonna do he's like i i hear they're fans of life of agony uh so you know whatever and i mean that's true what are you gonna do about it but uh he kind of has the same like deep kind of voice thing going on i i hear it i mean you don't hear it you're shaking your head i don't he don't i totally hear it i'm like that's very life you just sound like a guy you know what i mean you can't help it i mean when you open your mouth something comes out okay unless you're a super gifted vocalist i was looking at the whole

00:30:44.059 --> 00:31:13.380
Banned. No, just the singer. That's the way I see it. I think he sounds kind of like it. A little bit, yes. I'd never thought about that before, but I was like, meh, that makes sense. Now you get it. So I was in the car the other day, and a song came on the radio, and I was like, wow, that riff sounds like I had the tiger. So I hit the thing on my XM to see what it was, and it was Howard Jones' band Devil You Know covering Survivor's Eye of the Tiger.

00:31:13.700 --> 00:31:14.220
Badly.

00:31:15.460 --> 00:31:22.420
Now, former Howard Jones, for those who don't know, former Killswitch and Gage singer, who has an amazing set of pipes on it.

00:31:22.420 --> 00:31:29.200
Sure, I'm not knocking his singing ability, but you know what? Eye of the Tiger is just one of those songs you don't really want to cover.

00:31:29.700 --> 00:31:29.820
No.

00:31:30.180 --> 00:31:30.740
It's just not.

00:31:30.860 --> 00:31:31.660
It's just you don't touch it.

00:31:31.710 --> 00:31:32.440
You can't touch it.

00:31:32.550 --> 00:31:33.980
Not that it's anything super special.

00:31:34.460 --> 00:31:35.400
No, but.

00:31:35.620 --> 00:31:38.280
But the original song is kind of so perfect.

00:31:38.500 --> 00:31:40.820
It's like you don't see covers of Stairway to Heaven, do you?

00:31:41.020 --> 00:31:42.520
Or Dust in the Wind, you know what I mean?

00:31:42.590 --> 00:31:43.120
Stuff like that.

00:31:43.120 --> 00:32:12.920
Well, you might see covers. It's not a song that you're going to be able to add anything to. You can make it heavier, but... It was also about a moment in time. It needs to sound. It has to have that 80s production. It has to have that kind of goofy pop vocals on it, which frankly they are. No one covers YMCA now. Yeah. That would be interesting. Yes. But, you know, I mean, like the verse parts and the intro, they weren't bad. It really falls down on the chorus because it just does not have the same power of,

00:32:13.120 --> 00:32:19.200
I have the tiger you know I mean it just doesn't have it uh it just it you know you're

00:32:19.440 --> 00:32:43.100
expecting this big big hit and it just kind of just hang you know so I remember really well when I was in music class like in the fourth grade or third grade whenever that song came out and it was the movie of course it was attached to the movie yeah rocky three three yeah and I remember it was a big treat at the end of music class she would if we had enough time we'd listen to I have the tiger and everybody

00:32:43.100 --> 00:32:46.980
You'd be like, let's get this done fast so we can listen to the Tiger.

00:32:48.780 --> 00:32:49.240
That's funny.

00:32:49.800 --> 00:32:52.520
Yeah, that was a fucking, that was one of those like mega hits, dude.

00:32:52.540 --> 00:32:56.780
You could not turn the radio on for a couple of months there and not hear that fucking song.

00:32:57.120 --> 00:32:57.200
Yep.

00:32:57.440 --> 00:33:08.720
Can I just do a mention of, quickly while we're talking about Howard Jones, George, who before has shat on my beloved Killswitch Engage.

00:33:08.720 --> 00:33:09.680
I shat upon thee.

00:33:10.280 --> 00:33:40.240
Well, wait, wait, wait. Before you do the shout-out, are they broken up, or is he just not singing for them? No, he's just not singing for them. Jesse, the original singer, is back. So please continue. I think they're working on an album, actually. They are. Killswitch is, I have no problem saying it, one of my favorite bands. But I think George will agree with me here. It is still, to this day, the most brutal mosh pit I have ever been in. It was pretty intense. I mean, I wouldn't be here today if I hadn't had my arm locked around.

00:33:41.040 --> 00:34:10.220
He was my rock. This pit was outside at a mayhem. I know you're thinking oh mayhem fest and oh. Killswitch. Oh I was thinking of the uh. It can happen anywhere. No but the one inside. Yes the Jax. Yep that was fucking killer. But no I know I know the one you're talking about that one too is also outside. Yes in the gravel. Yes in the gravel in the heat. Oh just a fucking brutal fight but man. I love Killswitch engaged. I don't. We're talking. I did not know that.

00:34:10.300 --> 00:34:40.260
I remember he was all into them he was like listen to this listen to this and I was like hmm yeah so now my kill switch engage love goes underground and I don't I don't pull them up but I still listen to them and I love you gotta be careful with it you like what you like all right so I gotta tell you I saw some other news and I was like this is news really this is this is newsworthy so apparently Ozzy Osbourne has returned to the Alamo 33 years after taking a leak on it

00:34:40.280 --> 00:35:09.780
It's newsworthy now because it was newsworthy then. I guess. Well, you know what? It's tied into that weird history show he's doing. Yes, I realize that. You know what? Fucking Ozzy's just enough already, dude. I'm not joking. Ozzy has become a kind of media character. Let me give you a piece of my business minute. I just can't. I have to tell you, Diary of Man Man, Blizzard of Oz, two of my favorite metal records of all time. They're in there somewhere.

00:35:10.420 --> 00:35:40.220
in the list. But I just don't like the media character that he became back when Osborne started. I watched the show and I thought it was great. But I'm sick and tired of him being some kind of like, that he should have projects now that are just not in any way attached to music. It's like he might as well, I mean, the next step is for him to be on The Voice or some fucked up show like that. Oh, I'm sure he'll be there. I like The Voice, actually. I've never seen it, but I just, I don't like my metal guys to be out there.

00:35:40.300 --> 00:36:10.260
I like that. Yeah, honestly, I could at this point, as soon as he said no more Black Sabbath albums, once we go see the end tour, that could be the end of me never hearing Ozzy again. I'd be okay. I mean, listening to his old music, but I mean, never hearing any more news about him, I'd be okay with that. I will not buy his next solo record. I mean, I bought Scream, and I was just like, what the fuck is that? The last couple albums have been horrible, so yeah, I'm certainly not going to

00:36:10.320 --> 00:36:40.260
I don't get that either so so that is my little rant I just like enough already baby be a little more classy be like Tony I owe me Tony I owe me is fucking Tony I owe me he's one guy one thing he does he plays guitar he plays in bands he plays he does he's always making music battles cancer battles cancer yeah yeah he's fucking fighting the goddamn devil here yep I mean if I have to see one more Ozzy documentary that doesn't exist already where he tells the story about biting the head off the bird I'm gonna kill myself yeah that used to be

00:36:40.280 --> 00:37:09.120
the reason everybody thought he worshipped Satan, now that's like a fucking joke. Yeah. Now nobody would go, Ozzy? Oh, he's a harmless, cuddly old curmudgeon. Yeah. Okay, so I'm done. Rant completed, but I will not tune into that history bullshit show. You know, I'm going to continue my rant into this next fucking news story. And that news story is, Kirk Hammett says 2016 or early 2017 is going to be the release for the new Metallica album. Yeah, it's funny.

00:37:10.300 --> 00:37:15.260
these guys in the news the last like year it's been so when's the new album and

00:37:15.280 --> 00:37:20.180
they're like yeah it's coming but i mean what have they done in the meantime lulu their own failing

00:37:20.420 --> 00:37:26.000
music festival they made a shitty fucking movie i mean they played in anna irica i did like that movie

00:37:26.180 --> 00:37:30.100
though oh was it good i haven't seen it yes actually it was kind of cool it's really cool okay i'll go

00:37:30.280 --> 00:37:35.600
well i'll step back and the music on it from it was good too to be perfectly blunt i haven't i have not

00:37:35.760 --> 00:37:40.260
seen the movie so i should be a little cautious there but it's just i what an inflated notion of

00:37:40.260 --> 00:38:10.200
There have been a few bands in history, and this is one of them, where there is nobody in that organization that is brave enough to go, I don't think this is a great idea. I was curious. I was probably thinking about this, and I was going somewhere, and I googled Metallica Net Worth, because I was curious. They're the biggest metal band around, but how big are they? I stopped at the first link that I found, which was James Hetfield Net Worth.

00:38:10.280 --> 00:38:39.720
And they said he was estimated to be worth $175 million. I was like, okay, so what you're saying is Metallica is worth a lot of fucking money. But here's an interesting thing. There's some guy, and this is only according to some, I think, sort of unofficial biographer, but since, and I honestly can't remember what the year is, but going back to like Lulu, the music festival, the movie, maybe back as far back as some kind of monster,

00:38:39.800 --> 00:39:09.580
They have been in the red. They're not making money. Because all these ventures, they have billions of dollars, so they don't have to care. But all of those ventures have been financially failing ventures. Right. Like, they put way more into the movie than they made. They put way more into Lulu than they made. You know what I mean? Yeah, I can see that. Yeah. But that stated, yeah, they're fucking rich as fuck, dude. So they can get away with that. And James probably is probably tops. And then probably Lars.

00:39:09.800 --> 00:39:39.500
Because, you know, the publishing is where the money's at. Sure. Yeah, so. All right, moving on. Catatonia announced that they have a new drummer and they're going to begin recording a new album for release sometime in 2016. I'm kind of looking forward to that. Yeah, yeah. I mean, they were kind of not doing anything there for a while, weren't they? Or, I mean. Well, they sort of went the Monster Magnet route. They've been, like, doing some, like, remix albums. Or whatever you want to call them. I don't know.

00:39:40.380 --> 00:40:08.240
Basically taking an album and reimagining it. So I think they're due for some new material. Yeah. Yeah. What it was. Hey, the guy who left Opeth per what the fuck is his name? Wasn't he from Catatonia? And did he go back to Catatonia? He was from Spiritual Beggars. Spiritual Beggars. Okay. Big difference. And yet not that big. Buk is my Opeth Wikipedia. Opethpedia.

00:40:10.240 --> 00:40:38.540
premiered a new song called Winter's Bane from his new album due on January 22nd. Jay told me about it. He said it was pretty awesome, but I neglected to listen to it. Oh, it's great, dude. You'll like it. It could easily come off of All Shall Fall, and it sounds like an immortal song, but it's good. It's catchy. It's got a real kind of riff and an edge and a kind of melody, if you will, that draws you in. You'll like it. I know you'll fucking like it. Excellent. I can't.

00:40:38.560 --> 00:41:08.400
Yeah, I was half expecting you to say, oh, I listened to it, it was fucking killer. Yeah, I meant to do that. I was like, usually the day before a podcast, I go through the script and look for anything that I'm supposed to listen to. Yeah. And make sure that I listen to it. And I missed that one. So. It's, you know, did you like All Shall Fall Buke? Did you have that? I, you know, not Black Metal Buke over here. But he does like Immortal. I do. Like, I know this is not popular, probably, but like Sons of Northern Darkness, I love.

00:41:08.540 --> 00:41:38.520
Oh, that's hugely popular. I love that album. I think a lot of people consider that their favorites. But this is just, this isn't, as near as I can tell, obviously we haven't heard the whole record yet, it's the next logical step after All Shall Fall, and there's no missteps. It's great. It's fucking awesome, dude. Immortal is very accessible. Yeah. Wouldn't you say at least, you know, it's Sons of the World of Darkness. Yeah, I mean, they became accessible, yeah. I think so. Yeah, I mean, go back to...

00:41:38.580 --> 00:42:08.520
stuff like that is Jay what's your favorite immortal well honestly it's all shall fall believe it or not I think they've only gotten better as they've gone forward see mines battles on the north well that sons of northern darkness or all shall fall would be they'd have to battle to the death and I think sons of northern darkness is an amazing record to be okay really in my kingdom cold I fucking love that song oh yeah dude yeah you go out and go and check out the new track you will not be disappointed it makes it seem like I record that they get out yeah that's okay right

00:42:08.560 --> 00:42:38.140
I got it when it came out. I listened to it a lot when I first got it. I remember that. That record in SOG came out right at the right time. The first SOG record. I fucking love those guys. I was listening to both of those records quite a bit. I think one of the SOG guys is involved in I, if I remember right. The earlier SOG albums are better. The last one was a little more trippy. The first one is the one. The first one is fucking devastating. People need to have that record. S-A-H-G.

00:42:38.560 --> 00:42:38.920
Sog.

00:42:40.800 --> 00:42:42.100
That was like a radio call sign.

00:42:43.240 --> 00:42:43.580
All right.

00:42:43.740 --> 00:42:44.720
Last news item here.

00:42:45.180 --> 00:42:46.200
I'm going to want to pick this up.

00:42:46.540 --> 00:42:49.340
Bruce Dickinson's memoir is due out in 2017.

00:42:50.720 --> 00:42:51.200
Good for Bruce.

00:42:51.680 --> 00:42:51.960
Yeah,

00:42:52.260 --> 00:42:52.920
that should be interesting.

00:42:53.460 --> 00:42:53.740
I don't know.

00:42:53.760 --> 00:42:54.060
I'll read it.

00:42:54.660 --> 00:42:54.820
Yeah,

00:42:54.900 --> 00:42:55.640
I'll definitely read it.

00:42:56.280 --> 00:42:57.560
I don't race out to get all of those,

00:42:57.720 --> 00:42:59.800
but I'll get that one because first of all,

00:42:59.920 --> 00:43:00.920
Bruce has had an interesting life.

00:43:01.880 --> 00:43:04.340
Bruce does interesting things now all the time.

00:43:04.760 --> 00:43:04.900
Yeah.

00:43:05.880 --> 00:43:07.440
I think he's a smart fucking guy.

00:43:08.200 --> 00:43:11.960
just based on the fact that things like his chemical

00:43:12.300 --> 00:43:16.800
wedding solo record is completely based on the works of William Blake. I mean, the guy obviously has an education.

00:43:17.860 --> 00:43:19.260
Yeah, I'm interested to hear what he's got to say.

00:43:19.940 --> 00:43:20.400
Yeah, me too.

00:43:20.740 --> 00:43:24.940
Have you looked at pictures and or interviews with him recently?

00:43:25.460 --> 00:43:25.560
No.

00:43:25.940 --> 00:43:32.080
You know what? You can see he's still kind of in recovery mode. He added some years on from that cancer treatment.

00:43:32.360 --> 00:43:32.640
Really?

00:43:33.220 --> 00:43:38.180
Yeah. He looks older to me quite suddenly than he has. He looks good, but he

00:43:38.200 --> 00:44:08.160
just looks like he crossed that threshold where you're no longer the guy who looks really good for 45 you look like a 55 year old or whatever he is you know yeah yeah that's unfortunate yeah but i mean you know as good as he can and i don't mean that bad he looks pretty good but he just he looks older okay as do we all let's get into our new releases of which there are few

00:44:08.960 --> 00:44:37.720
We're getting to that time of year, I think, where the new releases are starting to dry up. There were actually quite a few new releases this week, but most of them I don't give a shit about. Yeah, I only pick out the ones I give a shit about. So first one, I don't know if you guys have heard these guys. I only heard about them recently is a band called Firespawn and their debut album Shadow Realms. Do tell. What kind of thing we got here? Well, the singer, I know you've heard of him, Mr. L.G. Petrov from Entombed.

00:44:37.780 --> 00:45:07.580
And, uh, ex-dark funeral, ex-Satiricon, a couple other Entombed AD guys, Unleashed, that's the one guy from Unleashed and Necrophobic. So yeah, it's, you know, it's a Swedish death metal band with various guys from the Swedish scene and LG Petrov on vocals. I listened to it a little bit and, you know, it's LG, you know, it's death metal. Is it death in roll? Nah, it's death metal.

00:45:07.760 --> 00:45:37.580
Okay. So I'd like it. I think you'd like it. I was going to recommend it to you. It might be a little generic for my taste, but I love generic. But I think I snagged a promo. So I got it here right now. Okay. Check it out. Hey, this is completely, you know, connected to nothing. So sorry about that. But I just got an announcement yesterday for a show in my area.

00:45:37.780 --> 00:46:07.680
I'm trying to see if there's any in your area. Venom Incorporated is coming, that Mantis and Abaddon thing. I saw that you said something about it on Facebook. Yeah, I'm going to go. I'm going to go, because as you know, we'll all be seeing Cronus and company, so I can compare the two existing Venom outfits. That's a good idea. But it doesn't look like there's a show in your area. No. Another new release is one that I feel like I've mentioned it before on here. The new Void of Sleep album, New World Order.

00:46:07.780 --> 00:46:37.740
I don't think I mentioned it as a new release before but I might have it was listed this is I believe the second album from the band as really good as all I gotta say is really good you need to check it out it's certainly going to be on my list somewhere we like their first album oh yeah first album was very good too check that out and it's one of the most sabbathy names for a band ever because we're basically talking about Into the Void and you know Beyond the Wall of Sleep I mean they don't even try to hide it just like fuck it dude yeah but I did like their last record too as a matter of fact

00:46:37.780 --> 00:47:07.600
And I haven't listened to this one yet. Did we have a promo for it, dude? Yeah, we did. I'm pretty sure I put it in there. That probably means I have it. I just haven't looked at it. Yeah. Yeah, let's talk about this last new release, dude, because I got some things to say about it, too. Yeah. Jay and I were talking about this last one the other day. This is the new Swallow the Sun album, Songs from the North, one, two, and three. And I got to tell you, have you listened to all three discs? Okay, I can't lie to you and say I have, George.

00:47:07.780 --> 00:47:36.580
But I did listen to songs from all three discs. But I haven't listened to the record from start to finish. But I'll just tell you this, and this is exactly what George and I talked about, though. I'm not sure what he's going to say now. But I cannot justify this much music from this band at this point in their career, apparently. Or just these songs. I don't know. It's too long. It's too much music. And it doesn't warrant, the quality of the record does not warrant it being three records long. That's what I got to say about it. I hate to flip-flop on you, Jay.

00:47:37.180 --> 00:48:06.640
Oh, you're loving it. Okay, dude, talk to me. Yeah, well, when we talked about it, I'd really only heard some of the songs off the first album, and I was just kind of like, meh, you know. You know, this is the third time you've done this this year, Flip Flopped. Iron Maiden, Def Haven. Def Haven. Yeah, Def Haven, and now this. Yeah, but I haven't. I mean, Def Haven, I haven't Flip Flopped. I'm still not a fan. I just think that their music has potential. Their vocals still suck. Maiden, you flipped.

00:48:06.640 --> 00:48:36.080
But that was only on one song. I have listened to the whole, all three albums through twice now. And I get it. It's broken up on the three discs, partly because they have a shit ton of songs, partly because each disc has its own musical theme. Okay. The first disc, Songs from the North 1, is Death Tomb. That's what they call it. There's a lot of clean vocals on there. There's a fair amount of harsh vocals.

00:48:36.660 --> 00:49:04.760
But they're calling that the Death Doom album. Songs from the North Part 2 is entirely acoustic. And it's not like fucking Tesla, fucking unplugged, whatever, acoustic. Yeah, right, yeah, yeah. There's a lot of stuff going on there. I mean, acoustic wasn't the word that came to mind for me. It was just clean. Yeah. And it's nothing like they've done before. I mean, it's nothing like the first disc. It's completely different.

00:49:06.660 --> 00:49:35.560
is fucking funeral dym. Well, I'm gonna do it for you, George. I'm gonna go through it from start to finish because of what you said here today. And A, obviously you're liking it too. I mean... I'm unsure. This has potential to go very far on my list. Okay. Because it's so ambitious. And that's what amazes me. It's like, okay, this album is really ambitious in that it's trying to cover all these bases. And I think they do a really good job of covering those bases.

00:49:35.980 --> 00:50:05.580
I think of the three the first album is probably my least favorite and I have to admit that's the one I put the most listening time into the second album is there's no metal on the second album period but it's pretty in a not like commercial I mean it's commercially accessible and that it's melodic and and stuff like that but it's not like pop it's not geared towards the radio or anything if you're an Opeth fan that sounds right up your

00:50:07.960 --> 00:50:35.540
Honestly, the first two albums are kind of progressive. Because the first album, there's a lot of clean vocals, which leads me more down the progressive route than the Death Doom route. Second album's all acoustic. And the third album, holy shit. That's probably my favorite one. Okay. It's Funeral Doom, but the atmosphere on it, you know, usually like Funeral Doom, like the new hook,

00:50:35.620 --> 00:50:38.360
"Mentice

00:51:05.600 --> 00:51:35.580
create a sound like this with music. Yeah, yeah. And I don't know how they do it, but it just sounds so open. You know, I got to tell you, just based on that description, and I'll have to listen to it. Yeah, that's a great description. I like that. Yeah, yeah. It's funny because that is a quality I would assign to a record I'm always trying to sell here, which is that War Horse Doom record. So, and I don't know if that's the quality you're talking about, but yeah, I'm intrigued. But you know, the one thing that stands out, George, is again, I would not have expected that the

00:51:35.620 --> 00:52:05.580
but it's like what we talked about with cattle a couple weeks back it sounds like this is a evolution yeah like a maturing band yeah for me this is like drastically different i mean this is kind of like when the between the bearing me album came out and it was so different than like their previous stuff is this is definitely different for them and so ambitious both in the epic scale and the the different themes that they visit you know it's like this

00:52:05.600 --> 00:52:35.080
is this, this album is this, and this album is this, and you can listen to whichever one you want based on what style you're looking for today. And I've just, I've never heard anything quite like this album before. Does it break up the flow? No, no. Well, because they're each a separate thing. Okay. And they work, the songs that are on that album work well together. They go together. Yeah. And that's, that's interesting to me though, because given, given three albums to work across, it's interesting that they did,

00:52:35.740 --> 00:53:05.160
choose to break it up like that. That sounds odd. I mean, that's not odd, but what I mean is they could just as easily have gone doom, doom song, you know, first record song, acoustic song and created a flow that way. So they are definitely obviously made three separate statements here is what I'm trying to say. Yeah. And I think if they'd mixed it all together and just made it three albums, I think people probably would have shit on it more. And I have no idea how it's being received, but I read one review that was not kind. Yeah. I, uh, it was the nine circles dude, the nine circles dude,

00:53:05.620 --> 00:53:34.640
I hated it. Which one was it? Dan or Corey? I don't remember which one it was. But I can see where people would, I mean, people complain that the Iron Maiden album's too long. So obviously those same people are going to complain that this is too long. Yeah. Well, but it doesn't have to be, you know, too long in and of itself is not a problem with me, you know? Me either. I mean, I don't have to listen to all three of them if I don't want to. And in this case, I can pick which one of the three I want to listen to depending on the kind of mood I'm in.

00:53:35.920 --> 00:54:04.620
You've moved me to give it more time. And so, like I said, I've only been through it twice, so I'm not, like, you know, completely familiar with the stuff yet, but I definitely am liking the stuff on the second and third disc better than the stuff on the first disc so far. Okay. I'm surprised you stuck with it. Because then, it did take a second with it. Knowing you have two more discs ahead. I was ready to write it off, because I got through the first disc, and I was like, alright, that's not bad. And then I started listening to the second disc,

00:54:04.760 --> 00:54:31.700
y no me diga

00:54:34.760 --> 00:55:04.740
was kind of lazy. I was just like, I'm out of here. You know what I mean? It was just like, do I have three hours to kind of see if this is any good? And I didn't like, what I'd heard, and I did most of what I was on the first record, but I dropped the needle as it were in a few places. But what I'd heard just didn't, you know, I'm inclined to say, nah, I'm going to leave it alone. I was going to say the Vatnet Viscar record, which I know you guys aren't big fans of. I mean, there are records like that. If I did not give them the time from start to finish, I wouldn't know how great they are. And that's, are there a

00:55:06.480 --> 00:55:34.740
I recommend listening to this on headphones and just sitting back and just do each album like one at a time don't try and get through all three at once because you'll get you'll just get burned out and give up so like listen to the one and go okay and then when you have some time listen to the second one and you know I like a homework assignment excellent I've got the vinyl coming like next month I think it's like five discs I bet it is there's a box set yep

00:55:34.800 --> 00:56:04.740
works nice too by the way i did look at the artwork and stuff shall we do our top three top three so jay came up with this one i was fishing around and let's do the top three deep purple i was like i'm down with that i love deep purple dude and they are one of those kind of roots bands like if i had been alive you know

00:56:04.780 --> 00:56:33.100
at that time when the first Sabbath record came out and Deep Purple. I mean, they would have been like my two favorite bands. Well, and Zeppelin. And they really were heavy metal at the time. I mean, a very, very heavy band. I can't wait to see which way you guys went with this. I also just watched Deep Purple Behind the Music on VH1, which I'd never seen and enjoyed watching it, even though that's not really a very good show. But it was cool. I got to learn some stuff I didn't know.

00:56:33.140 --> 00:57:03.120
But I'm dead excited and interested to see which direction you fellas go on this. Mine's going to be pretty lame. Mine's a little generic, I admit it. But I am a great lover of Deep Purple, so I stand by my choices as somebody who doesn't just like the hot points. But we'll see. All right, well, why don't we start with you? All right, well, I had to do one from this second or third era, Mark II, and it can't be anything else but Burn. Burn is such a great kind of comeback from a band that was dissenters

00:57:03.860 --> 00:57:32.560
And I'm not going to say much about it. I just love it. That's a great record. That's a Coverdale era. Coverdale era. And it's one of those reasons you got to know if you lived through the 80s like George and I did and you got there late and you didn't know. David Coverdale has a vaunted, kick-ass history that has nothing to do with the later Whitesnake records. Gillian and Roger left and Coverdale and Hughes came in on that album. Yeah. And by the way, that was when Richie really started to show his asshole because he basically,

00:57:33.160 --> 00:58:02.040
Kicked Glover out. He was like, it's him or me. And they were like, okay, it's him. But Burn is a great record, if you don't know it. It's a really great 70s hard rock record. All right. Buick? Mine, this one, he just mentioned it, you know, Blackmore kind of being an ass. By the time this came out, he was already starting to kind of be done with the band. Rainbow, he was about to go in to start. Rainbow, one of my favorite bands. This is Stormbringer. Wow.

00:58:02.380 --> 00:58:31.020
I didn't think he'd go there. Yep. Because Stormbringer starts to move into some funky territory, dude. That was where they started, where Glenn Hughes' writings used to come in, and they started to do, there's some funk rock songs on it. You Can Do It Right. One of my favorite songs, Soldier of Fortune. Hey, it's a great record. Don't get me wrong. But it's definitely like, it's a less hard rock record than Burn. But it's great. It's great. And it was the last Ritchie record, as you know. All this Coverdell stuff, geez. That'll be my last one.

00:58:33.080 --> 00:59:02.360
Do you not like that era, George? I honestly just have not listened to much of it because I'm a Gillen fan. Oh, yeah. Right on. I've been meaning to, and I just haven't gotten around to it. Well, he's the be-all, end-all. I mean, he is. Gillen is the man. So I have an honorable mention. I put this in here. I was considering it as part of my top three, and I decided not to, and that's because it's Deepest Purple, the very best of Deep Purple. It's a great

00:59:02.920 --> 00:59:06.660
Yeah, but these guys have like 79 greatest hits albums.

00:59:06.790 --> 00:59:32.300
But the reason I said this was because going through all the albums, I don't have a lot of deep tracks with Deep Purple. I'm very much a about-the-hits kind of guy. And their albums are like one good song, or one big song, and then a bunch of songs I've never heard. And so I'm like, wow, you know, there's a lot of albums here that I can't really, in good faith, put,

00:59:32.320 --> 01:00:02.280
down because I've always been listening to this Greatest Hits album because it's got all the hits on there. So that's my number four. But my number three is The House of Blue Light. Oh, bless your heart, George. I'm one of the only people I have, to the best of my knowledge, for a long time that liked that record. Yeah, it's a good album. That's from my era. It's follow up to Perfect Strangers. There's a great song in there called The Spanish Archer, one of my favorite Deep Purple songs. And Mitzi Dupri. It's about a girl he meets on an airplane who does a ping

01:00:02.300 --> 01:00:30.740
Pong Pong Show. And I think ping pong balls, I think. That's a great choice, dude. Alright, number two. Number two, probably my favorite Deep Purple record of all time, and probably a lot of people's favorite, Made in Japan. Live record, Made in Japan. Recorded in Japan. Quite literally Made in Japan. I like how it's like this, because we weren't saying anything. We're letting him explain it. He's like, okay, more. Honestly, the first thing that popped into my head was Iron Maiden, because they have Unmade in Japan.

01:00:31.080 --> 01:01:00.860
But it's made in Japan. There's very little to say about that. First of all, the expanded edition is the one you want because it's got Black Knight on it. It's one of the first vinyl I bought. It's worth the price of admission for Child in Time alone. But it's got so many great performances on there. Super heavy record. And I'm not going to oversell it. The funny is, I do know so much about Deep Purple. I'm not overselling this because I assume everybody knows much as I do.

01:01:02.220 --> 01:01:03.140
But that's the one

01:01:03.380 --> 01:01:04.520
And just as a kind of

01:01:05.260 --> 01:01:06.400
This isn't even a sales pitch

01:01:06.420 --> 01:01:06.640
But I

01:01:07.340 --> 01:01:08.380
Yngwie Malmsteen famously

01:01:09.180 --> 01:01:10.340
Learned every single note

01:01:10.360 --> 01:01:11.380
On that record as a kid

01:01:12.020 --> 01:01:13.760
And then dropped one of the channels out

01:01:13.940 --> 01:01:15.960
And recorded his guitar on it

01:01:15.960 --> 01:01:16.920
And used to play for his friends

01:01:17.100 --> 01:01:17.380
You know like

01:01:17.700 --> 01:01:18.960
That's how crazy he was

01:01:19.020 --> 01:01:20.040
About what's going on in that record

01:01:20.540 --> 01:01:20.860
And Rich

01:01:20.900 --> 01:01:22.180
It's one of those ones that establishes

01:01:22.240 --> 01:01:23.700
Richie Blackmore as a guitar god

01:01:23.940 --> 01:01:24.000
So

01:01:24.920 --> 01:01:25.320
Excellent

01:01:25.600 --> 01:01:25.920
Puke

01:01:26.080 --> 01:01:26.480
Number two

01:01:26.920 --> 01:01:28.700
Okay you're gonna see my last two here

01:01:28.820 --> 01:01:29.640
I love albums

01:01:30.300 --> 01:01:31.060
And Deep Purple

01:01:31.080 --> 01:02:00.900
the habit of coming out like a fucking shotgun blast. Jay already mentioned it, but burn. That title track right at the start is, I could put that on repeat and listen to it for five hours. Man, what do you got against Ian Gillen? I love this fucking song. And you know when I really got into this? When the keyboardist passed away a couple years ago. John Lard. Yep, and Lars made me realize, because he came out with a real nice touching piece on how actually important,

01:02:01.080 --> 01:02:30.100
He was to the music world. Oh, hell yeah. For a keyboardist. And I went back and Lars actually recommended, you know, check out his work on Burn. Amazing. Absolutely amazing. Lars is like a deep purple aficionado, you know. And that song is their Neon Nights. You know, that is the first Ozzy left track. We're back, motherfuckers. And it's a great fucking song, you know. So Ian Gillum was out of the band.

01:02:31.080 --> 01:03:00.560
And they came back fucking full on. It's just a happy, it's just a fun album. It's just a fun album. And that song is just, man. Yeah. And you get to hear both, right off the bat, you get to hear both David Coverdale and Glenn Hughes sing. And their vocals on that, the harmonizing that they do is amazing. Well, you've inspired me. I need to go listen to the Coverdale stuff. Yeah. Oh, burn. Get burned.

01:03:01.260 --> 01:03:31.040
rules dude all right well i have them i just haven't listened to them yeah put it on put it on baby and they have a female harmonizing with them as well on that oh that might be glenn hughes that you're talking no later in the album okay my number two is machine head that's good that's good because that's one of the few albums that has like multiple songs on there that i'm actually that i actually know you know it's got highway star which is a killer song and uh space trucking which is a killer song and of course the greatest song of all time smoke on

01:03:31.060 --> 01:04:00.980
the water. It's also, yeah, Space Trucking's on there. Let me see here. Pictures of Home is a good song. You know, that's a good solid record from start to finish, and it is probably their biggest selling record, I'm pretty sure. I think so. Number one. Buke predicted this previous to us going live here that a lot of people would choose this, but it really is, as far as I'm concerned, their best record, and I think it rivals Black Sabbath's first record. I think it rivals a lot of stuff in the Zeppelin catalog. In Rock, Deep Purple In Rock. Boy, that's,

01:04:01.060 --> 01:04:30.940
It's amazing. It's so good. What's your favorite song about, Fit? My favorite song? Well, Child's Time is on there, so there's that. But let me see here. I want to look at the list so I don't leave something out. When I heard In Rock, and I was already a deep purple band, and then I was like, I just knew, like, I was like, this is that record that if I had had, that's like when it came out, you know what I mean? Like, then I would have been like, you got to hear this fucking record, dude. And it was, by the way, it was a very purposeful change.

01:04:31.080 --> 01:05:00.940
for them. They were not the heavy rock band they were before that record came out. They literally sat down and said, we want to kind of do a Zeppelin Sabbath thing here. Okay, so my favorite songs. Fuck, dude, the whole thing is good. Speed King's on there, Child in Time. There's a really kick-ass song called Flight of the Rat. That's a deep track for sure. Hard Lovin' Man's on there. I mean, it's fucking great from start to finish, man. I don't really know anything on there other than Child in Time. You know what? Have you ever heard the studio version? Yeah. Okay, yeah. Because, I mean, a lot of people know the Made in Japan version and that's it. But it's,

01:05:01.060 --> 01:05:30.460
It's there with Led Zeppelin IV. And for good reason. Man, I want to go back and listen to all this stuff again now. Yeah. Deep Purple's the shit, baby. You know the one thing about Deep Purple, I wanted to get to this point before I list my number one. I heard Eddie Trunk mention this. And he mentioned a couple years ago, and I've paid attention to it in reading various things. Here in the States, aside from those couple hits, they've never gotten a credit it seems like they have overseas. They're like the Saxon of the Iron Maiden. Yes.

01:05:31.060 --> 01:06:01.040
Yeah. If a lot of people really took the time to listen to them more than Smoke on the Water, they'd be huge. Well, I mean, they were when Burn came out, they were huge, dude. I mean, they were huge from the hits. But when Burn came out, that's the year they did the Texas Jam thing. And they headlined that motherfucker, too. And that was a big show. No, but I mean, but you're right. They are not. They are like an also ran. You know what I mean? They are like the third candidate in most people's most people's kind of list. And which is a shame because I can't

01:06:01.060 --> 01:06:06.160
I can't say enough how they are one of my favorite bands ever. Deep Purple is amazing.

01:06:06.640 --> 01:06:09.260
Yeah. We got a number one coming from the band.

01:06:09.260 --> 01:06:13.720
Yeah, my number one, I told you, I like albums that start right out, you know, bursting through the gates.

01:06:14.320 --> 01:06:17.860
This is odd because it's not going to be a lot of people's number ones.

01:06:18.200 --> 01:06:19.060
This is Fireball.

01:06:19.460 --> 01:06:20.360
Oh, fuck yeah, dude.

01:06:20.560 --> 01:06:27.420
I love that fucking title track too. Again, you have Fireball, Demon's Eyes, The Mule.

01:06:27.960 --> 01:06:28.140
Yep.

01:06:28.480 --> 01:06:30.720
I even like the one

01:06:32.020 --> 01:06:33.560
somebody's daughter or whatever it's called

01:06:33.760 --> 01:06:35.460
anyone's daughter

01:06:35.660 --> 01:06:36.880
no no no

01:06:37.260 --> 01:06:39.420
that is probably second to

01:06:39.890 --> 01:06:41.300
in rock for me as just

01:06:41.560 --> 01:06:43.500
the old school classic

01:06:43.650 --> 01:06:44.840
great record from start to finish

01:06:45.520 --> 01:06:46.540
Fireball is fucking awesome dude

01:06:47.540 --> 01:06:49.360
the start at Fireball

01:06:49.780 --> 01:06:51.000
title track killer

01:06:51.480 --> 01:06:52.020
fine choice

01:06:53.400 --> 01:06:55.500
a lot of these were just going

01:06:55.710 --> 01:06:56.520
through to

01:06:57.719 --> 01:07:26.420
My Introduction Into Vinyl. There's a lot of Deep Purple out there. You can easily find it. Oh, yeah. And they are also, I mean, I agree with you, you can find them, but also there's a lot of nice, pretty much everything's out on a nice 180-gram reissue, too. Yeah, because a lot of these Deep Purple have been passed around and are pretty, you know. They are, dude. Rode hard, put away wet. Yeah. You're going to find some with some cocaine in the sleeves, maybe a couple of marijuana seeds. Well, you know, anybody listening to this,

01:07:26.540 --> 01:07:55.800
is probably going to be like, what the fuck? No. It's a great record. Jay knows what it is. And it's the album that introduced me to the band. This is what came out when I was 13 years old, and this is what sold me on the band, and it is Perfect Strangers. Perfect Strangers. But I don't think people would disagree with you on that, George, because we did a list of Best Reunion records a while back, and that was on my list. And that fucking title track alone,

01:07:56.540 --> 01:08:26.380
For a band to come back after that many years and put something that fucking gritty together. Yeah. This is one of the albums that I know every song. And they're all good, too. Yeah, Knocking at Your Back Door, also, you know, fucking classic. Under the Gun, Nobody's Home, Main Streak, Gypsy's Kiss, Wasted Sunsets, Hungry Days. I mean, they're all good. I like Son of Olurik. Yeah, yeah, sorry. I'm not looking at the bonus version here. Yeah, that's the bonus track. Yeah, it's the bonus instrumental outgoing track, but it's just beautiful, and you get to hear Blackmore just wank it for like seven minutes. I mean,

01:08:26.580 --> 01:08:55.960
Yeah, that's a fine example of a band getting back together when they still had a lot of life in there and blood in their veins. God, that fucking first song is so haunting too, isn't it? Yeah. That title track is so haunting. That riff is just fucking... It's like Middle Eastern and spooky. Yeah. I was going to say, if you have a problem or want to comment on any of our top three Deep Purple albums, hit us up. Visit our new website.

01:08:56.540 --> 01:09:26.500
WeAreMetalHeads.com. The Facebook page, at MetalHeadsPod on Twitter. Email us, you know. Yep. Be like, hey, fuck you guys. This is the best Deep Purple. This is the best one, yep. It's a huge catalog to pick from, so please get in contact with us. Yep. As concerns Deep Purple, too, with the exception of the Tommy Boland stuff and some of the newer records, because they're still putting out records now that some of them aren't so great, but you can drop your needle almost anywhere in that fucking collection and hit something pretty cool, you know. They are one of the

01:09:27.279 --> 01:09:31.020
Progy medley bands. Yep. All right. What are we listening to?

01:09:56.540 --> 01:10:26.500
stuck on the same Orphus record dude god damn it that's and um most recently has gotten heavily into my rotation i texted george earlier in the week and i believe my comment was meh third listen in i'm really into the new van den plus record it's just as good as anything they've ever done it's been funny he started off just being like meh it's not so good then he was like it's starting to grow on me a little bit and then he was like it's fucking awesome it's way up on my list now dude it's way up on my list and it's it's you got to take you got to be patient with those guys because they don't they ease

01:10:27.000 --> 01:10:56.500
and they can be a little ballady and stuff but it's all about dynamics with them and you know that that record is pretty pretty special so i got a lot of stuff spinning but those are the two that are still amorphous still way at the top of my list and the abandoned plus so that's that's about my list right now and i buke's been busy as we all know but hopefully he's got a couple of things he's been putting into his ears i have been fucking extremely busy you know george every time i say i've been busy you know work and i have a baby george goes yeah i have work

01:10:57.160 --> 01:10:59.440
I try to get some sympathy from my best friend here.

01:11:02.320 --> 01:11:14.440
Coming up to the end of the year, I've been trying to go through and knock out some albums that I may have missed to try and finish off a list that some people say you need to check out.

01:11:14.490 --> 01:11:17.140
And I found a couple that have called my ear.

01:11:17.820 --> 01:11:20.320
Many were a quick listen and they got thrown away.

01:11:21.030 --> 01:11:26.440
Two of these bands, one of them is a classic doom sound, almost a little newer.

01:11:26.600 --> 01:11:27.960
of British heavy metal,

01:11:28.420 --> 01:11:30.360
a band by the name of night demon.

01:11:30.920 --> 01:11:31.080
Nice.

01:11:31.500 --> 01:11:32.320
This album is awesome.

01:11:32.540 --> 01:11:33.540
Curse of the damned.

01:11:34.100 --> 01:11:34.200
Well,

01:11:34.200 --> 01:11:34.780
that was a terrible,

01:11:35.000 --> 01:11:36.040
terrible cover on that record,

01:11:36.120 --> 01:11:36.400
by the way.

01:11:38.300 --> 01:11:39.120
I always see your posts.

01:11:39.200 --> 01:11:39.360
Yeah.

01:11:39.600 --> 01:11:39.940
It's,

01:11:40.240 --> 01:11:42.260
it's a classic.

01:11:42.500 --> 01:11:45.620
Like as Chris for the local record shop owner downtown said,

01:11:45.860 --> 01:11:46.740
it looks like classic,

01:11:46.920 --> 01:11:47.400
like 84,

01:11:47.720 --> 01:11:49.300
85 metal blade album art.

01:11:49.520 --> 01:11:49.680
Yeah.

01:11:49.800 --> 01:11:50.120
And,

01:11:50.140 --> 01:11:50.260
uh,

01:11:50.840 --> 01:11:51.380
another band,

01:11:51.400 --> 01:11:52.060
this is a,

01:11:52.100 --> 01:11:52.280
uh,

01:11:52.920 --> 01:11:56.020
like funeral doom band that came out around January,

01:11:58.860 --> 01:12:26.140
I don't know that one and the album is fall all right is it on bandcamp it's on Spotify and the phones come out big there was one you posted yesterday I think and I just had to say it was just so hard to not read their name without laughing a little bit it's the Viking thing T-H-Y-R-F-I-N-G that album fucking kills man T-H-Y-R-F-I-N-G

01:12:26.160 --> 01:12:56.060
Those guys, yeah, I know those guys. Try finger. Well, that's it. That's why it makes me laugh. It sounds like somebody saying surfing with a lisp. I mean, which they certainly did not. Surfing USA. Everybody surfing. That stated I don't know anything about the band. No, so I woke up yesterday. I was in the Viking thing yesterday, and I put that on. Pretty cool Viking. Yeah, those guys are cool. But yes, again, Red Moon Architect, their album Fall.

01:12:56.160 --> 01:13:26.140
O que você está

01:13:26.180 --> 01:13:56.140
I have my phone in my hand and I type into Spotify on here. All right. First one. I know you guys have heard because I sent it to you. Jay even said he liked it. This is the stoner doom band Mammoth Storm and their album Fornjot. I'm thinking usually the J is like a Y. So Fornjot. Leave the pronunciation to me. This is Fornjot. Okay then. It harks back a little bit to like

01:13:56.180 --> 01:13:59.340
It reminds me of sleep a little bit in pure construction and kind of

01:13:59.640 --> 01:14:03.640
Yeah, foreign jot. That sounds a little more Klingon. Foreign jot!

01:14:06.420 --> 01:14:06.580
Okay.

01:14:07.140 --> 01:14:21.120
All right, next up is one that I've been hearing from, it seems like I'm hearing from everybody. I mean, I know our friend Greg has mentioned it and Will liked it and I could have swore Jay liked it too, but the band Odetto Son?

01:14:21.330 --> 01:14:22.880
I saw everybody talking about it. I don't know them.

01:14:23.340 --> 01:14:52.140
Yeah, their new album, The Dark Dunes of Titan. They're kind of... I've been listening to it, but I haven't gotten through the whole thing in a good pay-attention-to-it listen yet. The music is really good. It's heavy. I think it's kind of progressive a little bit. The vocals are kind of harsh. But what I've heard so far, I've really liked. And just the fact that everybody in our little circle has been raving about it. So I picked that up, and their previous album as well.

01:14:52.220 --> 01:15:22.200
on Bandcamp. I think we need to get Greg on the podcast one time. Yeah, I think we probably do. What's up, dude? Yeah. You're going to come on? We need to get Greg on because he has constantly reaching out to us, suggesting bands and just talking, and we love that. Yeah, I think we need to get more of our listeners. Yeah. Greg, we are dropping either the gauntlet or the invitation as you would rather see it. We would love to have you on the show, dude, so consider this your official invite. Yep, we'll Skype you in. All right, this next

01:15:22.260 --> 01:15:52.200
One I just happened to stumble upon on Bandcamp is a band called The Scimitar and their album Doomsayer. And these guys, well two of these guys anyway, are from another band that I was really big into called Black Pyramid. And if you haven't heard Black Pyramid, check that shit out. Because they had a couple of really good heavy American Doom albums. And as soon as I started listening to this, I was like, oh, this is awesome. I mean, it's like massively heavy riffs, kind of cleanish

01:15:52.300 --> 01:16:22.200
vocals it's really good I mean you'll you'll like it right away it's hit me again with it the scimitar and doomsayer okay s-c-i-m-i-t-a-r and it's actually like I believe on bandcamp I think it's a you know pay what you want kind of thing so chick you know I gave him a couple of bucks but definitely check it out there's no reason not to this next one Jay actually told me about I was surprised it wasn't on his list this is a serpent's lair and circumambulating the stillborn

01:16:22.240 --> 01:16:52.200
Why didn't I tell you about it? You're right, dude. I'm still putting that record on, too. It's good, right? Yeah, I bought it on Bandcamp right after you told me. I was like, oh yeah, it's black metal, and it's good black metal. It can be a little shoegazy at times in the best kind of way. They get into grooves and stay there. That's a real good record that is looking for a placement on my year-end list. That's how much I like it. From Denmark. They're great, dude. All right. Keeping it Scandinavian. This next band, actually, I don't know if they're from Scandinavia, but the band is called

01:16:52.240 --> 01:17:21.640
Tomb of Finland and the album is called Below the Green. They're actually from Japan. Yeah, I don't know. That's right. I would guess that they're probably from Finland, but let's find out. They're from Denmark. Are they really? They're from Copenhagen. Copenhagen. Copenhagen. Okay, so. You're hitting the Denmark this week, dude. Apparently. Something metal in the state of Denmark. I got it. A little hamlet there for you. Well done. This next one, I've given you guys the promo. I haven't heard anything back.

01:17:22.240 --> 01:17:52.200
I'm guessing you haven't listened to it, but you really need to. This is a band that I'm going to mispronounce probably. Ur Drauger and With Hunger Undying. They released an EP earlier in the year, which was fucking phenomenal. And this is their full-length debut. I believe it's not out. It might be out by the time this posts. It's imminent. And you should definitely check it out. This is like... That first... I have listened to it, George. And doesn't that first riff sound like the very first acoustic

01:17:52.220 --> 01:17:57.540
opening riff that just starts the record sounds like um uh spiral architect from black sabbath you'll

01:17:57.580 --> 01:18:05.920
listen to it when you get a chance okay but this album is is so cool it's it's very fucking heavy in uh sort of a black

01:18:06.150 --> 01:18:14.000
metal like black death sense but they throw in a lot of these acoustic pieces and i don't know it's very

01:18:14.260 --> 01:18:20.060
technical and heavy and dark i haven't listened to it enough to have an opinion which is to say i just kind of

01:18:20.060 --> 01:18:49.980
Hit a couple tracks like 30 seconds each. It has amazing artwork too. The cover is super killer. But okay, cool. It goes to the top of the list. It's on my iPod, so I'll roll it. I usually just install everything from the box and go through my recently added list, and I just haven't listened to that much yet. Definitely check those guys out. Next up is a band that I don't know how to pronounce it. Vrangbild? V-R-A-N-G-B-I-L-D? Into the Abyss in Zero is the album.

01:18:50.060 --> 01:19:17.900
Get It On Bandcamp. It's... Oh my gosh, I don't even... I'm so tired of trying to describe albums. It's kind of black metal, kind of atmospheric. It's not like traditional black metal. It's kind of different. Just give it a listen and see what you think. Cool. Second to last band. This is one that Greg told me about. I can't remember the conversation. Oh, we were talking about the Danzig covers album. And we were all sort of commiserating about how shitty it was.

01:19:20.060 --> 01:19:49.780
as sort of a parting gift kind of deal. And he was like, hey, well, check this out. And this is the band Witchskull and their album, The Vast Electric Dark. And I got to say, I'm really digging this album. When he first sent it to me, I thought maybe it was sort of going to be Danzig-y. And so that was sort of the glasses that I was listening to it through, if that makes any sense. But it's not really. It's kind of doomy, but like a sort of an energetic doomy with clean-ish vocals.

01:19:50.060 --> 01:20:19.240
It's good stuff. Highly recommend it. Check it out on Bandcamp. On Bandcamp, okay. Yeah, totally. And most of this stuff you're going to find is going to be on Bandcamp because that's where I spend all my time. This last band, holy shit. Okay, all right. I'm typing already. I'm ready to dial 911, so start talking, bro. Buke is always talking about how he wants to find a holy grail band. I wish Buke had found this band and brought it to me because... See, I just dropped my phone because I thought you were going to be able to... Buke,

01:20:20.080 --> 01:20:20.780
I finally did it.

01:20:21.340 --> 01:20:21.640
No.

01:20:22.820 --> 01:20:26.680
When I found this band, I was like, man, I wish you could have brought this to me because this is so quick.

01:20:27.160 --> 01:20:28.140
This is so freaking awesome.

01:20:28.220 --> 01:20:30.160
I bought all three of their albums right away.

01:20:30.440 --> 01:20:32.600
The band is called Stellar Master Elite.

01:20:33.740 --> 01:20:38.460
And I started with their third album, Eternalism, the Psychospherical Chapter.

01:20:38.860 --> 01:20:42.960
I went back to their second album, Destructive Interference Generator.

01:20:43.280 --> 01:20:46.120
And then I went from there back to their first album, which is just called One.

01:20:46.700 --> 01:20:47.500
They're a German band.

01:20:47.860 --> 01:20:48.840
They're a German band.

01:20:48.940 --> 01:21:18.900
The Band Name, Stellar Master Elite, is taken from a song title by the band Thorns. If you don't know Thorns, you better check Thorns out. Classic black metal. The main guy was the guy that went to jail for driving the car for Varg when he killed Euronymous. Snorri, I don't know how to say his name. But yeah, the band name comes from a Thorns song title. It also kind of, they're kind of influenced by Thorns a little bit. It's black metal. So then you know I wouldn't tell you this. No, but it's so much more than

01:21:18.940 --> 01:21:48.900
is black metal. I mean, it's fast, it's slow. I don't know that there's really any clean vocals, but this is black metal you could get into. And I recommend that you do. The first two albums are free on Bandcamp, so check them out. Okay, I just did it right now. And there's a different singer on the third album, which was kind of a bummer. Where'd you get the third one from? Also on Bandcamp. It's under the record label instead of... Okay, because it just starts by the artist and it's not under there. Yeah. What was the name of the third one again? The Psychospherical

01:21:48.940 --> 01:22:18.900
chapter and I can't remember the album or the record label but it's it's on the record labels band campsite the guy that sang on the first two albums is the guy that sings for a band called Sonic Rain at R-E-I-G-N not like Trickle Trickle Rain which is a band that I also like I was not aware that he did this and the first two albums the vocals are a lot more latter era satiricon you know your volcanoes and your age of Nero kind of vocals and the third album

01:22:18.920 --> 01:22:48.620
The New Singer, he kind of goes there too, but he also has a much more like deeper, raspier kind of funeral doom thing going on too. And I don't even know what to say. I fucking love these albums. Here's one of the reviews on Bandcamp. All in all, this is one of the year's best albums by far. There is an elegance in the brutality of the said album title. It's so overwhelming and I cannot help but tell, not recommend, not suggest, tell you to go out to listen to this album. It's a magnificent experience.

01:22:48.920 --> 01:23:18.880
that you cannot miss if you want to go through a truly unique musical trip. That's so true. I can call it a black metal album and that just does not do it justice. Go out, check this out. Like I said, the first two albums are free on Bandcamp. There's no reason to not listen to these. Greg already did. I saw that he picked them up after I... This came out in January, on my birthday. How I didn't hear any of these, I have no idea because they're so good. You know, looking here, there's not many supporters on the Bandcamp. Maybe it's right around that

01:23:18.920 --> 01:23:48.860
New Year kind of funk that people... Could be. Could be. Because I haven't seen this on any lists. No, me neither. And it's definitely going to be on my list. Well, wait. Well produced? Yeah, pretty well produced. Yeah, it doesn't have that shitty, like, you know, too reverbed kind of distant sound. No, it sounds good. What was the name of the new record, Sadie Gunn? I'll send it to you. The Psychospherical Chapter. Because, yeah, that one's not on their band camp page. Was that... Which one were you reading?

01:23:48.920 --> 01:24:17.880
the review from Buick, was that the new one? It's right on the Bandcamp. Was it from the new record? Yep. Or was it the review of the new record? If you're looking for the third and latest album on Bandcamp, it's actually on the Bandcamp page for Essential Purification Records. Look for it there. Moving on. Moving on. How about a classic, Jay? Classic Album!

01:24:18.920 --> 01:24:47.920
Okay, yeah, I picked a classic. I wonder if one of you guys has picked before. My favorite record by these guys, and that's probably a weird choice, but it's Manowar, Into Glory Ride. I love that fucking record. I feel like you've done that record before. Maybe I did. Maybe I did. You know what? I'm sticking with it. That's how classic it is. Manowar's so badass, you're going to do it twice. If it is one I've chosen before, I'll just add in off the top of my head, Hail to England. Because that's the air of them that I love.

01:24:49.080 --> 01:25:17.940
So that's it, Into Glory Ride. If you have never heard the gates of Valhalla, whatever the name of that song is, the one about Valhalla at the end of the first side, and Hatred, there's a song called Hatred, March for Revenge by Soldiers of Death. That's my song. That's my jam. Eric Adams' High Point is that record. Yeah, definitely. All right, Buick Classic. Way to steal my fucking thunder. It's not my classic, though. It's going to be my deep track. Oh, is it? Right on. Man, not that album, no. For my classic this week, I'm going to do some

01:25:17.980 --> 01:25:47.880
that we touched on earlier, George, I don't care if we're going to steal your thunder. River runs red by Life of Agony. Okay. This is an album, Jay, you need to listen to it. It is not a happy story that is told in this album at all. But it is like high school age kid, you know, always fucking messed with and down on his luck and his parents are always yelling at him. The boss is on him, gets fired from his job and his girlfriend dumps him. Is it a concept record?

01:25:47.980 --> 01:26:17.920
He's telling a story in the album. He gets a call from school that he didn't show up for school again. There's a call on the answering machine for his parents. He comes home and his parents are still yelling at him. It's just a fucking amazing album. It is. Amazing. This Time Underground, River Runs Red, Through and Through, Bad Seed, Method of Groove, probably one of my top ten metal albums.

01:26:18.000 --> 01:26:47.660
of all time. Amazing. Really? Oh, yeah. This was one of the first albums George turned me on to, and he slid it across and said, listen to this. Amazing. This was my go-to album for years. Okay. When you listen to it, and not painting George in a bad light, but if you're anybody who's ever kind of been down on your luck, or maybe someone who's kind of an outsider or something. This is suicide metal. Yeah.

01:26:47.740 --> 01:26:51.600
You really can hang your hat on the lyrics on this album and stuff.

01:26:52.100 --> 01:26:52.220
Yeah.

01:26:53.260 --> 01:26:54.140
I'm excited, man.

01:26:54.460 --> 01:26:56.520
It's an amazing album.

01:26:57.040 --> 01:27:01.840
George and I, George never thought he would see them live again with me, but we did.

01:27:02.180 --> 01:27:03.640
No, I saw them in Michigan.

01:27:04.020 --> 01:27:05.700
I saw them on the River Runs Red tour.

01:27:05.860 --> 01:27:06.660
Oh, after that.

01:27:06.880 --> 01:27:11.020
I thought, remember, you thought you'd never see them again, and then we saw them.

01:27:11.640 --> 01:27:12.880
I saw them on the Ugly tour, too.

01:27:13.220 --> 01:27:14.260
Oh, never mind.

01:27:17.680 --> 01:27:47.560
Yeah, I met Joey Z both times. Whoa, that's Life of Agony. River runs red. No, but I'm sold. I love to. If it's that near and dear to your hearts, I promise you that we'll get a listen today. Amazing. Yes, listen to it today, and I want a report back or else. Calling from the underground. Do a lot of people have the same feelings about the album that we do? Is it popular? Oh, yeah. Well, I gotta tell you, I was just looking at the reviews on iTunes while you were talking, and yeah,

01:27:47.660 --> 01:28:17.640
I mean it's everybody here who uses words like masterpiece I can't believe there aren't 400 reviews on here hands down the best crush crossover thrash elbow ever made and it's a concept record 100% must have I mean it's just fucking comment after comment is like life changer I gotta listen to zee I haven't listened to it once one of those albums that I used to listen to just every couple of months if not weeks same for me I didn't listen at the same time you got introduced to it but right how did you quickly I let you know I always like to ask you how'd you get introduced this just a random grab um

01:28:17.660 --> 01:28:47.640
I don't remember specifically I think I think my friend Josh told me about them and I was like okay and I picked I remember buying it at Best Buy it was October 4th of 93 yeah and I bought it like right after it came out and I'm pretty sure it was on Josh's recommendation and I fucking loved it and we saw them on the River Runs Red tour open for typo negative on the Bloody Kisses tour happy tour oh yeah I was I was in Flint Michigan

01:28:49.300 --> 01:29:15.300
There were suicides of plenty afterwards. It was a weird show because it was at a theater with seats in the stage and stuff, but the show was in the lobby. What? Yeah, it was in the fucking lobby. You didn't even go into the theater area. They just set up a stage in the lobby of this fucking theater. It was like going to the movie theater and seeing a band play in the lobby. Let's all go to the lobby.

01:29:17.680 --> 01:29:47.640
But it was such a good I mean that was probably one of my best shows all time I mean I remember so much about that show went with my friends Josh and Chris and so good it's crazy I love the stories okay George your classic buddy my classic is it's not a it's more of a hard rock than a metal classic as the band zodiac mind warp and the love reaction and their album from 1988 tattooed beat Messiah I remember no clue prime mover

01:29:47.660 --> 01:29:51.780
and Born to be Wild. I know that Ghost,

01:29:51.860 --> 01:29:54.040
that was a ghost song, Prime Lover. That's not the same.

01:29:54.420 --> 01:29:54.520
No.

01:29:56.620 --> 01:29:57.880
And Backseat Education.

01:29:59.100 --> 01:30:02.360
I remember it really well. I was working at a record store when they were still putting records out.

01:30:02.480 --> 01:30:05.840
And I remember it was right around the time Typo Negative was pretty active.

01:30:06.540 --> 01:30:08.200
And I remember Zodiac Mind War Typo Negative,

01:30:09.080 --> 01:30:13.380
I can remember a period of time they had posters all over our walls at this record store and stuff.

01:30:14.680 --> 01:30:15.580
That's cool stuff.

01:30:15.940 --> 01:30:40.860
They never got as big as I thought they were going to. When this album came out, I was like instantly sold. I was like, this is the next big thing. And just never really went anywhere. I remember it, though. And I remember thinking, too, that they were on to something that was going to be. But it was kind of like the industrial age, you know, I mean, so to speak. There was a lot of they just didn't quite cut through a lot of the other stuff that was happening, I guess. Yeah. Yeah. All right. Let's do some vinyl purchases.

01:30:55.240 --> 01:30:56.640
Miserables.

01:31:16.200 --> 01:31:45.900
The Serpent Throne. Nice. Yeah, record is Brother Lucifer. I got that off Discogs. I had to pay a couple extra bucks for it, but that's a really good Sabbath-y instrumental band, and it's just interesting from start to finish that record. I'm going to have to find the CDs because they're not on Bandcamp, and I've been wanting the flack, so I guess I'll have to buy the CDs and rip it. Yeah, I think you're right. They don't have a huge... They must not be active anymore, by the way, I'm guessing, since they're not on Bandcamp. That's just a guess, because this record came out like three years ago.

01:31:45.920 --> 01:32:15.900
four years ago and nobody's heard from them since. Bummer. That's it. That's all I bought. Puke? I haven't bought an album in a while. I just bought one off of Discogs as I tried to get this album a couple months ago, but I missed it and it wasn't going to pay other prices I saw until I saw it come up again. I really didn't need to go through that long story. Nobody cares. This is Witherscape and their EP The New Tomorrow. Nice. I got it for $14. That's a good price. Yeah, I saw it most times selling for like

01:32:15.940 --> 01:32:45.520
35. Yeah. So cool. The witherscape is one of the bands, you know, George and our big dance one. Oh, guys. Don's fun. Yeah. When you turn me on to their first album. Oh, he's so blue. My fucking mind. If as far as metal individuals go, he is definitely one of my favorite singers. Yeah. If you've never heard the first witherscape album, Jay, amazing. I haven't heard it, but I know. But the reason I haven't is because he's also one of the most prolific and the guy is on everything. So he is. He's got 8 million bands, but I'll check it out. Yeah.

01:32:45.960 --> 01:32:52.100
Sanity and he never stops yeah he's always got something like yeah he's always got

01:32:52.200 --> 01:32:57.620
something yeah and i love those discogs when you find a deal on discogs when you keep getting

01:32:57.720 --> 01:33:01.520
those emails and then it's like all of a sudden that thing you want shows up for 15 bucks or

01:33:01.580 --> 01:33:06.560
something you like fucking jump on it man yeah there was a uh was i almost picked up the other day

01:33:06.980 --> 01:33:13.679
it was some album that i never see so cheap and it was only like 30 and i was like oh oh oh but then it

01:33:13.700 --> 01:33:17.560
was like from brazil and the shipping was like 25 and i was like never mind

01:33:18.150 --> 01:33:23.260
actually that my serpent throne was at discogs dealio i had uh was only seeing that record for 30 to 50

01:33:23.400 --> 01:33:28.400
and then some guy listed it for 20 mint condition i don't mean i think it was an unopened copy and i was

01:33:28.460 --> 01:33:33.120
like fuck yeah dude jumped on it sweet and it was in the u.s too so i got a cheap uh cheap shipping

01:33:33.520 --> 01:33:40.320
all right i've got a couple uh i finally jumped aboard the bandwagon and got a copy of the new cattle

01:33:43.560 --> 01:33:45.120
The New Cattle Decapitation.

01:33:49.040 --> 01:33:50.640
Anthropocene Extinction, I believe it's called.

01:33:50.820 --> 01:33:52.340
That's going to be on everybody's list this year.

01:33:52.640 --> 01:33:52.840
Yeah.

01:33:53.210 --> 01:33:57.140
I mean, I've been into the album the whole time, but I just hadn't gotten around to getting the vinyl.

01:33:57.410 --> 01:34:03.680
I also got, Jay didn't mention this, but I know he got it too, The New Bell Witch, Four Phantoms.

01:34:04.120 --> 01:34:04.660
I also had that.

01:34:04.730 --> 01:34:05.740
I didn't mention it.

01:34:05.900 --> 01:34:06.280
Thank you, George.

01:34:06.460 --> 01:34:07.320
That added to my list.

01:34:07.520 --> 01:34:07.660
Yep.

01:34:08.020 --> 01:34:08.880
So glad to get that.

01:34:09.060 --> 01:34:39.020
Everybody knows I love that record and it's I haven't I haven't had a chance to spin it yet yeah me neither I also got the new avatarium the girl in the raven mask on clear vinyl gotta love that album so good I like it I forgot to tell you I listened to it because that was leaf edlin's thing or whatever right yep I still don't feel her vocals fit the group they're good but they're just too overpowering for what okay you know different strokes of course and finally I this was a pre-order that I got for a

01:34:39.040 --> 01:35:08.960
issue that got pushed back by a month or so. Finally got it is the Morbid Angel Blessed Are the Sick. All right. Let's do deep tracks. All right. Mine is from Richie Blackmore. We're doing some deep purple stuff today. Richie Blackmore's Rainbow. First record. The great Ronnie James Dio singing a song I don't really hear a lot of people ever mention. They all like Man in the Silver Mountain and all those things up there. Song in there called Self Portrait. It's actually I think the second song on the record now they think about it. God damn it's a good song.

01:35:09.760 --> 01:35:38.980
What's this band's name? I should be getting royalties from Merciful Fate, Richie Blackmore, any number of artists. Duke should be getting royalties from Opeth. You would think. You would think. But fuck, I guess they don't give a shit about us. Duke, what do you got? From Manowar, Warriors of the World, Swords in the Wind. Swords in the Wind. That song is probably my top three favorite songs of all time. It's not even super heavy, but it brings a tear to my eye every time. Oh yeah, that's right.

01:35:39.060 --> 01:36:09.000
I just fucking love it just the image like picture of fucking Vikings charging into battle oh yeah they'll make you they'll make you cry from time to time oh they do yeah a lot actually all right so my deep track is from Guns N' Roses Use Your Illusion album this is a song Don't Damn Me one of my favorite Guns N' Roses songs of all time it's basically you see Bukes making a face like man I don't even know this show I was thinking of You Could Be Mine but

01:36:09.020 --> 01:36:38.960
No, don't, don't. No, it, uh, Appetite for Destruction is an amazing album, but I think you, the Use Your Illusion albums was when Axl really blossomed as a songwriter, as a lyric writer. Okay. And the, the lyrics on these Use Your Illusion one and two, there's some really good stuff on there. I mean, there's like, you know, radio friendly hits and whatnot, but the song Don't Damn Me is a song that I've related to for 20 years, 20 plus years, however long it's been since the album came out. And, you know, I,

01:36:39.020 --> 01:37:09.000
I listened to it again the other day and as soon as I heard it I was like oh it's my classic for this week it's a song I related to back then and it's a song that still rings true to me now and it's basically him talking about how he's like don't damn me when I speak a peace of mind silence isn't golden when I'm holding it inside I've been where I've been and I've seen where I've seen what I've seen I put the pen to the paper because it's all a part of me and I mean obviously it's I remember the lyrics after 20 years it's that's that's crazy how you just you rattle it off like like

01:37:09.660 --> 01:37:38.880
With your bitch slap wrapping in your cocaine. You could be mine. That's the wrong song, dude. I know. I'm just messing. I'm just messing. Sorry. There were those of us who were excited to see, I mean, you know, Appetite for Destruction was a real moment. And if I'm not mistaken, You Could Be Mine came out of, that came out with the movie instead of the records, right? I think so, yeah. Yeah, so there were people who were excited to see that movie just to see what the fuck, you know, the new Guns N' Roses was finally going to,

01:37:39.440 --> 01:38:09.000
Yeah, well, don't damn me. It's like track 13 on the album. The best songs on the first Use Your Illusion album are all at the end. I honestly don't know it, dude. I mean, I had trouble. I didn't make good friends with those records. When they came out last, I jumped on them. I mean, I don't think a lot of people did either. I think maybe sold a couple hundred copies. Yeah. No, but I actually wanted to mention two other songs. It was a sailblazer. Yeah, don't damn me was track 13. Track 15 is a song called

01:38:09.060 --> 01:38:38.980
Dead Horse. It's another one that I really kind of related to about beating a dead horse. And then the last song on the album, Coma, which is probably a bit more well-known. Coma? Coma, yeah. What do we put our listeners into with this pod sometimes? Live your life like it's a coma. We should put that, that should be our theme song. Yeah. We get a drop of George Zane, Ed. There we go. Yeah. So anyway, those are my deep tracks. Yeah, they're deep tracks.

01:38:39.020 --> 01:38:41.840
I don't go deep with.

01:38:42.150 --> 01:38:42.880
Well, now you can.

01:38:43.040 --> 01:38:44.960
Those guys in the bands that don't know those songs, Buke.

01:38:45.840 --> 01:38:50.260
Yeah, I mean, I've never heard anybody talk about those songs before, so particularly Don't Damn Me.

01:38:50.460 --> 01:38:51.640
Nobody's ever said anything about it.

01:38:51.940 --> 01:38:52.300
But today?

01:38:52.700 --> 01:38:55.620
But today I'm giving it their 15 minutes of fame.

01:38:55.900 --> 01:38:56.640
But I like that, George.

01:38:56.750 --> 01:38:58.540
When you go deep, you go fucking deep, dude.

01:38:59.100 --> 01:39:01.700
