sounds like a good show patch, David allen Coe is definately a rebel heh. that album had an interesting sound to it...

i was wondering if there is any material released like a demo song or any clips of music from vinny's band? who did he get for a guitar player again i forget, for some reason im thinking it was guitar player from mudvayne?

Keep Er Green

 

[patchman4062]

Yeah here's their lineup the bands name is Hellyeah

* Chad Gray (Mudvayne) - Vocals
* Greg Tribbett (Mudvayne) - Guitar
* Tom Maxwell (Nothingface) - Guitar
* Jerry Montano (Danzig, Nothingface) - Bass
* Vinnie Paul Abbott (Pantera, Damageplan, Rebel Meets Rebel) - Drums

They got a couple songs on myspace. They sound decent. Not really a big mudvayne fan though. The hellyeah song is pretty bad ass though. "Got your whiskey and weed...Hell yeah". How can you complain about a song with a line like that?

During early and mid 80's huge thing for me and my friends was Thrash Metal. In a fact, in those early days, at least in Europe, the exact term was Speed Metal. Metallica, Exodus, Slayer were refered to the term, but also some (nowdays) less known bands such are Impaler, Agent Steel, Overkill (do you remember legendary concert from Hamburg on video: Anthrax, Agent Steel, Overkill?) and the whole bunch of German bands - Helloween (we used to call 'em Soft Speed), Kreator, Destruction, Tankard, Sodom, Assassin. And, yes, crazy swedish Bathory, british Onslought and swiss Celtic Frost.
In the same time, a new term emersed - Thrash Metal, which was refered, in the beggining, to Anthrax and Megadeth, and later (from Metallica's Master of Puppets) to all the bands with a bit slower, but harder and deeper sound.
They all were, more or less, underground bands. Videos were realy rare (first actual Metallica video was for "One" in '89.). But that was a matter of choice. We could listen to metal, to punk rock or to commercial pop crap (well, it's not that all the 80's pop music is crap, but we used to think so), which was, of course, for whimps.
In the late 80's Thrash became more popular, and there was a big 4: Metallica, Slayer, Anthrax and Megadeth. They all recorded albums which are a "Corner Stones" of Thrash (Master of Puppets, Reign in Blood, Among the Living, Peace sells...) and proved their value. But, it seems to me, that G'n'R attached lots of people to Metal in those days, and some of them decided to go further, to more harder, and, if you like, more alternative metal sound.
And new, even more agressive, bands were on the scene (O.K. some of 'em weren't actualy new, but they've didn't gained some popularaity untill late 80's) - Possessed, Sacred Reich, Cro/Mags, Wehrmacht (i thought that no one could play faster than them, on album Biermacht), Death, Sepultura, Morbid Angel, Obituary, Sadus, Blasphemy, Pestilence, Entombed... Except first 4, they all have been called Death Metal, some of 'em Deathrash, Doom or whatever. Some of my friends threw that away, sayin', it's lower class of metal, or something like that. It was the same mistake our, a bit older, friends maded with us just a few years ago - for 'em Thrash was trash and only good Metal were a New Wave of British Heavy Metal bands (Iron Maiden, Saxon, Samson, Tygers of Pan Tang, Judas Priest), and Motorhead, Accept, Manowar, AC/DC Venom or such things. We all used to listen to those bands, and some of them are classics (Mot., I.M., J.P., Sax., AC/DC) and i love them (especialy Mot.), but Thrash was our thing, new generation thing and we stood loyal to it.
Our main drug at the time was alcohol. O.K. from time to time we mixed alc. with some pills. Everyone had some friend or realtive who use some kind of legal/ilegal downers or uplifters, so it wasn't hard to find it. It didn't matter what kind of pill you gonna get, or whether you gonna get high or down, it was only matter to swallow something and to get crazier than you could be just from alcohol. Like we didn't had enough alc., ha! And that was the time when it was absolutely legal to sell alcohol to minors in this country. Besides that, almost everyone of us had homebrew brandy and homemade wine (which is still legal in Serbia to brew or to make at home). So, i could say, half of my highschool i spent drunk.
We didn't used Cannabis that much, not because it was hard to find, on the contrary, there was a lot of good Moroccan, Lebanese and Turkish hash (eh, good ole days), but because our older Metal friends told us "it's for fuckin' hippies". From time to time we scored some amount of localy grown weed and then we listened to Voivod, defenetly weirdest Metal band (at least we all thought so), Suicidal Tendencies, Danzig, G'n'R, The Cult, some older stuff like Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, and to something we couldn't say it's metal, but it was close enough, like Faith no More and RHCP.
The 80's were over, and in the 90's it all became the dope...

Whats up Tripco, Yeah I remember those days well. When Thrashmetal was the next biggest thing, I really liked a german thrash band called Destruction...member them? Bullet belts and black spiked leather,and inverted crosses, even today i think those guys are some of the best thrash metal out there(they are still around cranking out albums). I started out listening to all those same bands,priest,maiden,mot.crew, but I'll never forget the first time i heard Entombed"Left Hand Path" My life was changed forever, and that was really the start for me.In all honesty Metallica probably had the single biggest influence on my musical taste. The had just come out with "Ride the Lightning" and I remember listening to that on cassette tape on my walkman, thinking I had finally found a band who would blow away preiset ,maiden ect,ect. I guess that started my love for metal , but Entombed really solidified it. good post bro.

11 times! Man you're like the Slayer super fan.That rocks! I saw em once, and I loved it, they opened with "Reign in blood" all spooky and shit...it was pretty cool.In my experience ..pretty rough show if I remember right, lots of people got kicked out that night for fightin'.Fuckin dicks take that shit back to romper room where it belongs!

 

[longshot]

If you want to straight up rock the fuck out, checkout Wolfmother

Damn right! Great first album, up there with led zep if you ask me.
I went to see Wolfmother on monday night at the Hammersmith Apollo....Absolutely fucking amazing!! They did an encore that lasted about 30 minutes and included a fabulous cover of led zeps communication breakdown. I went with an old hippy mate who's seen it all, he was at the first glastonbury, isle of white etc, and he reckoned it was one of the best gigs he's seen. If you get the chance, go see them... You wont regret it!

Take care,

A couple a months ago they had a Wolf Mother marathon on the radio. Needless to say they were really good.

Right now I was going through some old metal releases and came accross this metal band called Stride:Imagine. It has some the most amazing guitar work I have ever heard, I don't know where to begin. Some of there songs warp me into another demension.

J.T. Bruce....

The average person spends 22 years of their life asleep. One third of your life will be wasted. You’ll lie in an unconscious, catatonic state and sleep your life away. What if you could take those years back?

The desire to dream is primordial. Some evolutionary process has instilled life on this planet with the ability to dream. It is essential to survival. Even dogs dream. The exploration of dreams in search of answers we cannot otherwise obtain is a tempting solution to things we’d rather not deal with.

Sometimes, this desire transforms dreaming into a vehicle that attempts to displace the mediocre existence of our ordinary world. At first, it is a plunge into hyperreality - a world more real than the real itself. One so entrancing it can become an addiction with confusing side effects, such as finding evidence of things you don’t remember doing, looking at the world through a fog, or experiencing false awakenings - dreams that are so real it seems as if you have already woken up.

Yet as you sit on the verge of the illusory twilight, the view is so alluring you can’t help but fall into its grasp and be swept away into the dream world.

By now, the dream state has become your primary mode of existence and the reality you left behind is only a hazy memory. You have escaped, you have salvaged the time you’d otherwise have lost in sleep, you are leading a life by proxy.

Just as this form of escapism appears to be working, your sleep patterns collapse and parasomnia invades your life - you cannot sleep, you’re kept awake at night by unseen forces and the addiction to dream sinks its teeth into your mind, the mind split asunder by insomnia and insanity. I’ll tell you what dying is. Dying is what happens when you can no longer dream.

As you lie awake and alone with the sheets stuck to the cold sweat dripping from your body, you can’t help but form a skeptic’s hypothesis - it becomes impossible to tell when you are dreaming and when you are awake. Why even try to differentiate?

Suddenly, there is a great elucidation and the answer becomes clear. An equilibrium must be reached and balance much be brought to these two worlds. Only in moderation will sanity be achieved - overly embracing mundane reality and extreme escapism with both lead to ruin.

And as you once again drift peacefully to sleep, free of your former dissociation and confusion, you are reminded of the bizarre world that stretches away from your consciousness with one last hypnic jerk.

It is a dreamer’s paradox - by seeking escape, a surrogate world is created as a replacement. The lines between fantasy and reality are blurred, fact and fiction become identical. The dream is real, and reality is as meaningless as a passing dream.

How could i forget 'em - Thrash Attack, Bestial Devastation, Mad Butcher, great songs. Some of my friends even played in a band called Stentor which was Destruction cover band (in early days). Like more than a year ago, Destruction had a concert in Skopje, Macedonia, which is just less than 200kms from me and i realy wanted to go to see and to hear 'em (even i'm into quite different music these days), but...
I'll be a huge Metallica fan forever, i guess, even they don't make albums like in those ole days. Last one from 'em i could count in a regular Metallica record was the Black album (which i liked so much, despite to some more hardcore Met. fans).
I forgot to mention some other very good Thrash bands from '80's i used to listen to, like Testament (especialy first album), Nuclear Assault (they were realy agressive at the time), S.O.D., M.O.D., D.R.I. (O.K. they were not realy Thrash, but Hardcore, or Thrashcore), Vio-Lence, Holly Terror, Xcentrics and brazilian Ratos de Porao.
For a time i listened to Napalam Death and Carcass (early '90's), but soon, i switched to Industrial/Techno and Grunge. Like i said, the '90's all became the dope...

I'll always love Metallica, although I have to agree with you about the Black album being the last true to the sound Metallica album they did.I dug some of Testament's stuff for sure.Low, that was a great song.I had my stint with Napalm Death and Carcass too. I got into the grunge scene alittle, I remeber Nirvanas first Cd, Tad...ever heard Tad, they rock! I saw them live a few times , and they put on a hell of a show too.who else?...... Skinyard and Grungetruck, These were both great bands that shared a lead singer.Alice in chains, which imo were one of the best bands that came out at the time. Lota great bands came out in the 90's.

 

[IwannagethighOG]

The Devin Townsend Band
SYL

Nuff said.

 

[DimeBag65]

A buddy just informed me that killswitch engage, dragon force, and chimaira are going to be playing together soon along the coast, im hoping to hit that concert, should be an awsome show.

also i was hearing that ozzfest is going to be free this year>? is this because the line up of bands is going to not be good... ? interested to see what the line up is.

 

[Tripco]

Skinyard and Grungetruck, These were both great bands that shared a lead singer.Alice in chains, which imo were one of the best bands that came out at the time. Lota great bands came out in the 90's.

First time i've ever heard anything from Grunge bands was Soundgardens "Louder than Love" song in '89. I thought they're some kind of posers ('cos it wasn't so thrashy). Soon, Nirvana, Mudhoney and TAD (yes, i remember 'em) showed up on the scene, but i still didn't pay much attention to these bands. In the first time, i knew these bands as a "Sub Pop bands" (according to their original Seattle record label), but then, in '91. it all exploded: Nirvana got their Nevermind, Alice in Chains first album Facelift, Pearl Jam, huh, they came like from nowhere and hit the charts. But it was also the year when Soundgarden realised their best album (at least in my oppinion) Badmotorfinger. I dunno, maybe it's because they moved to more harder and faster sound, maybe it's because i started to smoke more weed, but i started to understand that music and they became one of my top 5 bands at the time (along with Alice in Chains). Songs like "Jesus Christ Pose" and "Rusty Cage", wow, that's great to play in your car, there's no speed limit then.
Do you remember the movie "Singles" from, i think, '92? Soundtrack was great containing also a few songs from Temple of the Dog (band which included some of Pearl Jam and Soundgarden members).
Some other Grunge bands, i used to listen to, were Screaming Trees, Green River, MotherLoveBone (one of the first Grunge bands ever, but i discovered 'em much more later than the other ones), Fudge Tunnel (from England), Piece Dogs (from Atlanta) and Stone Temple Pilots. STP were realy good band, but some people ignored 'em just because they were from Southern California, like, you cann't play Grunge if you come from such sunny place, ha! What a prejudice.
Another prejudice i found in some people was, that Grunge is "Alternative music". My response to them was "alternative to what?" O.K. there was (or there still is?) a certain, mostly undefined musical genre called so. Maybe Grunge was Alternative Rock in late 80's and untill '91., but in '92. it became the mainstream. What's alternative in it, when you got 10 milion album copies sold (+10 milion more in pyrate market all over the world), and every housewife tune in MTV and sings along to "Smells like Teen Spirit" or "Jeremy"?
Anyway it's a great music when you're stoned.
