"new england metal head here old school though"
you remember triphammer? these guys were going places until grunge hit the radio and mtv
another NE metal band that was killer was wargasm . both of these bands could have made it big but the timing was off

 

[heavy dank nugg]

there were alot of good n.e bands back in the day. i remember having a rehersal space and having Michale Bolton right next door when he was sorta a metal head. we partied and jammed out a few times. he left the whole scene high and dry. and gave no love back.

Zakk was never in Badlands, it was Jake E. Lee who was in Badlands.

As far as my favourite Ozzy guitarist, it has to be Randy Rhoads. One of the greatest metal guitarists of all time and his career was so short. He completely redefined metal guitar with his classical approach. He started the whole neo-classical sound. Guys like Yngwie and Michael Romeo claim him as their biggest influence in developing that style of playing. Zakk has nothing on him and he'll be the first to tell you that.

Cool story actually. Zakk's bullseye signature guitar design originated from when he first started playing with Ozzy and the crowd would throw things at him when he was onstage because he copied Randy so bad (same look, same guitar) so he decided he'd might as well put a bullseye on there.

I used to be a big fan of Zakk when he first started with Ozzy in '88 and his first project, Pride & Glory, was fuckin' awesome, along with his solo album (Book of Shadows) but it was a steady decline after that. Not only did he have tasteful playing back then but his voice was incredible too. Both have suffered. Don't get me wrong, Zakk is a beast on the fiddle and I'm a fan, but it's hard to deny that he could have been so much more.

Ronnie James Dio.

you are right im dead wrong. and it was jake that i ment to say...love sabbath dio years and ozzy post sabbath. Randy was good but i feel overrated cause of the plane crash and guys like ronnie moore and steve how were the 1st to bring the classical guitar to hard rock. but wasnt popular till randy...how bout quiet riot?

 

[NateDizz]

Randy was good but i feel overrated cause of the plane crash and guys like ronnie moore and steve how were the 1st to bring the classical guitar to hard rock. but wasnt popular till randy...how bout quiet riot?

First off, you mean Vinnie Moore right? The guy who didn't debut until four years after Randy was already dead? The same guy who lists Randy as his main influence?

There were definitely guys like Howe and many others who brought the classical influence to rock and hard rock music but I said that Randy brought it to metal and that's what we're talking here. He did something that had never been done before and some of the greatest guitarists attest to that.

His influence can't be underestimated. Despite his young age (he died 3 months after turning 25) he's been quoted as being the main influence of guys like Michael Romeo, John Petrucci, Michael Angelo Batio, Vinnie Moore, Chris Impelletteri, Paul Gilbert, Tony MacAlpine, and Yngwie Malmsteen in persuing his style and ultimately pushing the envelope and becoming some of the greatest guitarists at incorporating classical influence into metal guitar. Not to mention he's been praised by guys like Wylde, Alex Skolnick, George Lynch, Dimebag, Buckethead, Marty Friedman, and even Frank Zappa as being one of their main influences. Are you gonna tell me that all those guys are wrong?

That's huge. You factor in that he only did two albums in his early 20's and had that much of an effect on metal music and I don't see how you can consider him over-rated. Imagine if he hadn't died and had a full career. Even with such a short career he's unquestionably one of the greatest and most important guitarists in the metal scene. Whether you like him or not, that's fine, but his influence can't be denied.

Yes, he also did his thing with Quiet Riot but most people don't even know of that music as it was only released overseas. Nobody on this side of the ocean knew who he was until he got hooked up with Ozzy.

 

[heavy dank nugg]

wow..... wasnt looking for a fight just stateing my opnion. it's my thread i figured it was allowed. but your show boss go ta town.

 

[NateDizz]

I'm not lookin' to fight!! haha. You stated your opinion, I stated mine.

Sorry though man, I didn't mean to come off that way, I guess I came on too strong. I'm pretty passionate about metal and guitar and sometimes I can get into it with people without realizing it. There's nothing I love talking about more than guitar and metal so I usually go on about it a little (or alot) longer than I need to. This isn't the first time someone though I was trying to start a fight :

Sorry again man, I'm gonna let this great thread flow and just read along for awhile before I post again.

SLAYER
Pantera
Cannibal Corpse
Chimaira
Testament

[filo6942]

metallica (pre 1991)-- i cant believe so many of yall dont approve of justice for all! that is my favorite album. lots of you are saying you only like them up till MOP. I like them up till the black album.

megadeth--self explanatory. dave mustaine has some of the most complex riffs ever, and he is the lead singer. there is no other band like this that i know of!

iron maiden! nuff said

motorhead!!!!

and black sabbath.


btw is motley crue really categorized with heavy metal now? they are more like classic rock to me.

 

[fat freddy]

Motley crue etc...glam rock, or fag rock, what ever label you like.
And justice for all my be alittle to orchestrated for some head bangers. but very good.
Slayer, enough said.
I thought i'd see a shitload more dio in this thread.

 

[heavy dank nugg]

And Justice for all was THE LAST GOOD ALBUM metallica ever did.

 

[heavy dank nugg]

if you go back there are several dio mentions

 

[Moldy Dreads]

It's funny how you reach a certain age and stop listening to newer acts.
I can't or never heard some bands like these new ones - Slipknot, etc.

Some I do like - System of a down for example...

But here's a list of some popular ones, I wouldn't say Motley Crude is even close to metal, that's GLAM ROCK -

I'd list Suicidal, but to me that's punk/hardcore/skate rock Lol
I used to love Anthrax.
