BEST HEAVY METAL BAND

Trey, regarding Spinal Tap, I like "Bitch School". A very loud and offensive song, the way it's supposed to be. Sure, they aren't a serious music band, just a hollywood paper cutout, but they were funny. I love Rush (even the most recent stuff), and Deep Purple is cool, too. Perhaps those bands aren't "metal", or perhaps they are. I thought the music of youth wasn't about putting labels and categories on music...And yet Rolling Stone (the magazine) readers seem to love to categorize their music.

I think a lot of the aformentioned bands had a unique style that helped define currnet"Heavy Metal". Back in the day, these bands pushed the envelope and were very much hated by our parents. I was lucky enough to catch Nirvana and Alice in Chains at some clubs LONG before they ever got airplay. I remember thinking Nirvana was never gonna make it - Two years later I was hooked on their sound. Carl, Spinal Tap had some great (funny) lyrics and a pretty cool sound - actually sounding better then some of the bands they were making fun of. Keep it at 11!!!

I guess I'll get me a pair of Cerwin Vegas and check out some of these awesome tunes. Such catchy song titles, too. I think the Buzzard of Oz really shows off my system. I just love to watch those woofers wiggle, don't you?
