Getting something off my chest.

"Especially for youuuuuu" :)

Stock/Aitken/Waterman produced all of them AND Rick Astley AND Bananarama incase any of you have ever wondered why they sound so alike. A mate once got hold of some free tix for a Rick Astley show during his heydays, so we went there for the heck of it. OMG, it's the first and only time I saw a show with NO spontaneous ideas or sth like that. It looked as if it has all been practised over and over again, pure perfection for perfection's sake.

Talking about metal... Omri - did you know that Judas Priest once recorded a session with STock/Aitken/Waterman that was never released. I think it was during the "Turbo" times. I'd sure like to hear that, but was unable to find it anywhere. I agree that the 80s were probably more important for HM than any other decade. I remember buying the first SLAYER album and when I walked outta the store I heard one of the employees asking the cashier "Did he really buy that???"

Hey, Bay City Rollers weren't that bad by todays standards. Back then, you were either a SWEET or BCR fan, if you liked both, you wouldn't admit it. Probably a bit like Beatles/Stones in the 60s. I went for Sweet back then, nowadays I can listen to both of them. Chart music was so much better back then. They are still playing live as "Derek Faulkner's BCR", I guess that means he is the only original members.

Leslie, their singer appeared on an episode of Little Britain just a few days after I was wondering if he was still alive. I loved it!

You can't really find that stuff here, so I never got those comments. :lol:
I mostly had the classics, well until I discovered the Internet. :cool:
 
For making me watch that video I hope my Vikes kick your Bear asses even more than I orginally wanted. ;)

I was talking about the metal thing. I had/have a TV with music channels just like anyone else. :lol:

Not so. There were some predecessors that defined the genre...Black Sabbath and Led Zepplin. Early 70's.

Cheers, TB.

Dude, you're talking to the wrong guy. Black Sabbath is my favorite band. Paranoid is Heavy Metal and it was released in 1970... I know that, but modern Heavy Metal was born in the 80s. even bands like Black Sabbath changed. Ozzy with his solo career did wonders! Bark at The Moon was not like anything else before.

If you mean "heavy" to the next level...forget Ozzy. Far and away the heaviest of all was Soundgarden. "Room a Thousand years Wide" off of Badmotorfinger is quite possibly the heaviest riff to come out of the 80's. Distant runner up would be Alice in Chains, followed by Megadeth et.al.

You could find some Black Metal "prototype" bands in the 80s... it's not about that. I'm talking about the actual change. the 70s were amazing music-wise (probably in many other ways, but I wasn't there to enjoy that) and the 80s took that music and made it what we "create" today (not listening to, well because I still listen to the 70s tunes).
 
I only liked the slow ones though. My brother as a young teen used to like what I thought were heavy metal groups and had posters all over his attic bedroom that looked down upon you. It was painted black and red and was like walking into some kind of torture chamber.
 
Related to the topic, there is this nutcase named "Buckethead" who wears a "Phantom of the Opera" mask and a KFC bucket on his head. He is an amazing guitar player though. Anyone heard of him? Here are a few links:

Buckethead rocks! While he is not my type of music, I respect the shredding. He does some tasty stuff. He's got the schtick down like Billy Gibbons.

Cheers, TB.

I will sprinkle some hot sauce on them if I have to. :lol: Yet, it will be a sad day in da windy city because Shitcago is going down faster than IGG at a WHAM! reunion tour.
