Metalheads Club #1

My brother is a metal guitarist and sent this to me.......thought I'd share


Maybe it should say, Most Incredible Cover Song Guitarist. She might end up playing in Alice Cooper's band one day. Does she do any songwriting? I wouldn't call Neil Young and Bob Dylan great guitarists but they've written and recorded some world famous songs.

Very true.....I was just trying to bring some life to this thread / club

My bad to post this
 
Back when grunge was bypassing metal, there were some cool bands. Most didn't make it in the wake of Nirvana and Pearl Jam. My roommates about 25 years ago were in a post-punk band. The guitarist worked for an alternative record label, or knew somebody there. I got to check out a lot of cool stuff that way. How about this one:



I know next to nothing bout this band, but they were heavy when heavy was a dirty word. RIGHT AROUND THIS TIME, I discovered Iced Earth, which became my favorite band in the 90s and 2000s.

When I look back through my childhood and teens, there was only one song I remember exactly where I was the first time I heard it. That song was Metallica's "Enter Sandman".

I was sitting on the carpeted floor of my best friend's bedroom. I must of have been about 8 or 9, and my friend, Colin, said to me, "You gotta hear this new song I heard". He put in the tape, pressed Play, and I was floored. It was like nothing I had heard before.

Nowadays, it's a song I skip pretty much every time it comes on... I much prefer their earlier work and even Death Magnetic, but it did introduce me to a new genre of music. I grew up with them, and because of that, they'll always be my favourite Metal band.

I'm not a huge fan of a lot new metal bands. My metal favourites are of an older era... Metallica, Iron Maiden, Sabbath, and others. I like Huntress and Ghost, but both are more reminiscent of the metal of yesterday than today. I like Tool too, but they're more of a Prog Metal, if that counts.
