Musical preference

[Ozzy]

I added my reply to the last topic asking this, I guess I'll do it again.

I like most of the 80's metal Metallica, Megadeth, Anthrax, Iron Maiden, Twised Sister and so on.

I also like Zack Wylde, Savatage,

I like southern rock Molly Hatchet, Blackfoot, Allman Brothers, And one of my favs Lynyrd Skynyrd.

I like the rough country (not the stuff you hear on the radio) Charlie Daniels, Hank Williams JR, Mearl Haggard

I don't think I even have to list my favorite Ozzy and Black Sabbath.

I have to mention one of the best bands of alltime Forever Untouched!!!!!

[death66]

well i am a musician so i am quite biased. i rarely listen to anything mainstream because the effects of modern record lables, the radio, MTV, etc are but a hinderence to musical creativity. the talent of old is now replaced with a simplistic, "catchy", polyester-like mockery that has its base more so in fashion and trends (what bands do dawson's creek listen to?) then musical talent. in a day when even those devoid of any vocal talent ( britany, j-lo, ect) can become singers the beauty of what real musicians do seems forgotton. *end rant*  

soooo.. back to the topic at hand, i listen to a pretty good variety with a scope that reaches all the way from jazz-fuzion to the heaviest european death metal. i however my true LOVE lies in the vastness that is metal(mostly european bands). REAl metal.  remember there is nothing metal about nu-metal

[Ozzy]

I didn't know that there was so many Queensryche Fans here. I heard that Queensryche Has a new album out. As anybody here heard it and is it any good? How does it compare to Operation:Mindcrime?  If any of you have never heard that album you need to get it. It's has an amazing storyline.

Death66, You're in Forever Untouched? ? Wow can I have your autograph? ? ? ? ?

Operation: Mindcrime is my all-time favorite and I listen to it almost everday. The new album is called Tribe, but it is not even close to Operation:Mindcrime in my opinion.

 

[Ozzy]

I bought that album back in 87 (I think) when it was released. I wore out 2 cassettes and now I have the cd.
I'm sure that the new album is not as good, but it's hard to equal that album. As good as Empire was it didn't even compare.

 

[lithopsman]

So, is there anyone here besides me whose head doesn't attract magnets? (metal head, get it?

)

[pond boy]

My head doesn`t atract magnets lol.

 

[swords]

dang it, where were all you metal people when I was publishing Battle Helm heavy Metal Magazine? There hasn't been a printed issue for years so don't go running to Tower Records or Barnes and Noble anymore. But you can find an online archive at www.battlehelm.com This is still updated with interviews and album reviews by the surviving die hards myself  and two writers (Shan a Malaysian metal maniac living in London and Anders from Sweden). Battle Helm covered all sorts of heavy metal from traditional power metal to new age-black metal.

I grew up with my teen age aunt listening to things like Kiss, Alice Cooper and Deep Purple and my parents listing to stuff like Yes, Rush and Black Sabbath. The very first song I can recall hearing as a young child is Iron Man by Sabbath. The first album I ever choose as a kid when I started to get allowance (or learned how to beg-I forget) was Iron Maiden's Killers LP. Ever since then I've been into heavy metal, punk (some) and progressive rock (some). A few of my faves are:
Mercyful Fate
King Diamond
Witchfinder General
Warlock
Dio
Iron Maiden
Manowar
Warlord
Witchfynde
Thor
Exciter
Judas Preist
Accept
Mayhem (original lineup with Dead & Euronymous)
Death SS
Venom
Bulldozer
Wasp
Gamma Ray
Helloween (early)
Grave Digger
Primal Fear
Virgin Steele
Running Wild
Grim Reaper
Discharge
Emperor (early)
Tiamat
Yes
Asia

I guess I could end this list with a note:
Any fans of Iron Maiden who have a Walmart nearby you should go check out the "burning brains" halloween candle in the halloween novelty section. It's a total rip off of Iron Maidens zombie charachter "Eddie" from the cover art of the Piece of Mind album...  it is a cool candle and only like $3!

 

[technoracer]

wasp, yes!  king diamond, YES!  i think i'll have to go and throw in some "the electric circus" while i bulid my new indoor green house!

have you seen the "eddie" figurines yet?

i think that i'm gonna have to go to walmart tomorrow too...  i need more candles.

peace,
technoracer

 

[swords]

Hey Technoracer. Yup I've got some of the Eddie action figures, The trooper, Killers, and the 2 foot tall "ultimate Asylum" Eddie from the Number of the Beast album cover that comes with the additional devil doll.

My pal in Sweden said over there they were selling the Ultimate Asylum Eddies for 75 Euros (about $68.25) + shipping from the Nuclear Blast (Germany) mailorder catalogue whereas the Spencers novelty shop in my area here in Minnesota was selling em for $19.99 on closeout special at the same time!

Read the package of the bootleg eddie candles at wal mart carefully, it's a generic box which may have either a melting hand or the zombie head.

THANK YOU!!! Lithopsman I SO love you now!!!

I agree with EVERYTHING you just said! Oo... spelling mistake!!! Kenny Chesney lol sorry... I'm obsessed with him and I can get quite annoying at times, and I stare at the cover of the CD I have enough to memorize how everything is spelled... lol... I've also recorded the concert from this spring, "Kenny Chesney: Back Where I Come From", and, I swear, I watch it every Saturday!!!

Ozzy, what do you mean you don't hear the harder Country on the radio?! You get all of that on Florida's Country station, K92 FM (92.3 FM).

Now for ME! I listen to ANYTHING in the "newer" Country category. Also, CMT must be the ONLY channel I watch 12 hours a day...

 

[lithopsman]

Ok, sorry... LOL!

Did you see on CMT that concert when Peyton Manning sang a song with him? Maybe that's the one that you recorded... Oh well, that's the Texan in me, also, I do't really like any of the new weird pop music and stuff... Pretty normal. I like it.

 

[Ozzy]

Flytrapgurl, Most country radio stations play Charlie Daniels "The Devil Went Down to Georgia" and a few songs from the other harder bands. But I'm not going to wait all week just to hear one song I like. It seems that country only plays the new songs over and over and over.

By the way flytrapgurl, Kenny Chesney lipsyncs. He can't sing.

I'm only joking.

 

[pond boy]

I think kenny chesney is good on the radio but if you listen too him singing a live song it sounds terible.Same thing with montgomery gentry,and the rascel flats band.
