@kingbr - I've always loved the wordless singalong part of that song; they used to get the roadies up there to sing on that part, too....

@stuartk - out of curiosity, what themes do you think they should explore instead for aggressive music like this? |
@stuartk - Oh, I know you wouldn't, Stuart. I was just curious as to what themes you prefer for hard rock and metal, but now I see that this isn't really your preferred genre anyway. It's all good! Enjoy your week.... |
@stuartk - ah yes, that old bugaboo about categorizations - one person's metal is another person's hard rock and yet another person's 'classic rock'. I think it starts getting a bit silly after awhile; there must be at least 10 sub-genres just under 'metal'. In Hendrix's day, there wasn't any 'classic rock' or 'metal'. Totally agree with you about Wishbone Ash - I always loved that original lineup. Much of Maiden's more wonderfully melodic stuff always struck me in a similar way to Wishbone Ash, with the guitars intertwining in and out.... And Steve Harris from Iron Maiden had historical and literary concerns in much of their music; their's was a more cerebral metal, generally speaking. |
@stuartk - not so much albums as individual songs; wish I could find that list I made up a few years ago of 'prettier Iron Maiden songs' as I had 6 or 7, but two I could suggest right offhand would be 'Still Life' off of the 'Piece of Mind' album, and 'Infinite Dreams' from 'Seventh Son of a Seventh Son'.... |
@go4vinyl - funny you mention those American bands like Angel, Starz, Legs Diamond, etc; I've got a friend in England, and that was totally what he was in to! Also what he termed '-er bands', like 'Player' and any number of others with similar names. I also like Nazareth.... |
@johnnotkathi - Hi - I've lived in San Francisco since 1973 and was a regular denizen of the Mab (I started going in late '76 when Jerry Paulsen was still the promoter of punk gigs there a couple nights a week), and have known Jello since he first moved to SF. I also used to shoot concert photos at venues from the Mab to Oakland Stadium. Which band were you in? I may have seen you.... |
@tcutter - in my college dorm back in the early 70's, that first Captain Beyond was VERY popular - excellent album. And the drumming is just insane... |
