Favourite metal quote

Re: Favourite metal quote

here's one I'm stealing from Metal: A Headbangers Journey Sam Dunn (interviewer): a lot of people are saying black metal is starting to lose touch with its roots... Necrobutcher (Mayhem):Which ones? Who are they? who the fuck are you talking to? FUCK THEM!!! Sam Dunn: uh do you have a comment on that? Necrobutcher: yeah I got a comment...FUCK YOU
I loved that part, Necrobutcher was wasted and just came unglued. He was having a blast when I saw them live, he was probably just beligerant, or annoyed with Maniac, he seems like he would be high maintenance.

Re: Favourite metal quote another one from Metal: A Headbanger's Journey "it's that attitude of let's have a festival, let's get together, have a good time, and the fact that the outside world doesn't understand is fantastic" can't remember the name of the guy who says it but I think that's pretty metal

I think my favorite part was on the black metal side when he interviewed Ghaal. He asked him, "What does black metal mean to you?", and he slowly swirled and sipped from his glass and said, "Satan". I just about lost it, the guy is such a cheeseball I can't help but laugh at him.

Re: Favourite metal quote my favourite part of that was when he talks to Lemmy about where he grew up, and Lemmy talks about how the popular thing to do was hang around the phone box because it was the only light source in the village, or the interviews with Dio, Dio always gave such great interviews

Re: Favourite metal quote

It's worth seeing, it has more of a focus on actual metal than most documentaries I've seen, even if Sam Dunn's take isn't something I completely agree with.
According to Ed he pretty much ignores Doom. That is reason enough to not see it. Although the Ghaal interview does sound funny.

I don't suppose prog makes an appearance outside of Rush, Fates Warning, King's X, Queensryche or Dream Theater, does it?

Re: Favourite metal quote

But...it's so interesting. :( Anyhow, I actually saw an interview with Doris Yeh, bassist for Chthonic. Apparently she listens to Lady Gaga. :shock: Not that she seemed particularly proud of it.
She's a nice girl, I met her when they opened for Satyricon, I think I might still have a picture with her on my old phone...

In the interview she gave off that impression, but she did struggle with certain English turns of phrase. I also saw a live recording of Meshuggah in Tokyo...Kidman said 'it's quiet in here...it's like a church...we should make it sound more like a metal concert.' Honestly, I'm just trying to stay on topic, I don't have a large repository of these quotes.

he mentions prog when he lists all the different sub-genres of metal but he doesn't interview any bands in the style and @NTNR sure he does skip over doom, but he has interviews with Alice Cooper, Lemmy, Bruce Dickinson, Ronnie James Dio, Tom Araya & Kerry King, Necrobutcher, the guys in Cannibal Corpse, a bunch of black metal dudes, a bunch of metal fans and many, many more I actually think his second documentary "Global Metal" is better, he looks at metal in Brazil, Japan, China, Israel, India, Indonesia and the UAE, and has interviews with more fans in those countries

Still unimpressed.

Re: Favourite metal quote

not surprising' date=' but come on I'd never heard of doom before I joined this forum, you can't expect someone to interview every single genre of metal to make a doco, if you want a documentary on doom go make one yourself[/quote'] Isn't that the point of making a metal documentary? You go display and define all the styles? I don't care for black metal but I'd have covered it.

Re: Favourite metal quote Not only that, seeing as Black Sabbath were one of the first heavy metal bands and were the root of doom metal, you would think that the doom subgenre would get more attention than it does. Especially when looking at the less extreme sides of doom, it can be one of the least "aurally offensive" styles of metal in the eyes of a mainstream person, and is also the heaviest subgenre in a genre called "heavy metal", yet it's stunning how often it's glossed over.

Aye, Solitude Aeternus sure doesn't freak me out at all. Now if they wanted to avoid Khanate that's understandable. But still, no prog... I don't mind if you don't have interviews but even then you could at least give it some coverage. Outside of the regular bands. THERE! I was online when you were. Now I'm off to the ONE class I have today, and after that I'll have free time, more or less.

    • Whichever tier of thrash metal you consigned Sacred Reich back in the 80's/90's they still had their moments.  "Ignorance" & "Surf Nicaragura" did a great job of establishing the band, whereas "The American Way" just got a little to comfortable and accessible (the title track grates nowadays) for my ears.  A couple more records better left forgotten about and then nothing for twenty three years.  2019 alone has now seen three releases from Phil Rind and co.  A live EP, a split EP with Iron Reagan and now a full length.

      Notable addition to the ranks for the current throng of releases is former Machine Head sticksman, Dave McClean.  Love or hate Machine Head, McClean is a more than capable drummer and his presence here is felt from the off with the opening and title track kicking things off with some real gusto.  'Divide & Conquer' and 'Salvation' muddle along nicely, never quite reaching any quality that would make my balls tingle but comfortable enough.  The looming build to 'Manifest Reality' delivers a real punch when the song starts proper.  Frenzied riffs and drums with shots of lead work to hold the interest.


      There's a problem already though (I know, I am such a fucking mood hoover).  I don't like Phil's vocals.  I never had if I am being honest.  The aggression to them seems a little forced even when they are at their best on tracks like 'Manifest Reality'.  When he tries to sing it just feels weak though ('Salvation') and tracks lose real punch.  Give him a riffy number such as 'Killing Machine' and he is fine with the Reich engine (probably a poor choice of phrase) up in sixth gear.  For every thrashy riff there's a fair share of rock edged, local bar act rhythm aplenty too.

      Let's not poo-poo proceedings though, because overall I actually enjoy "Awakening".  It is stacked full of catchy riffs that are sticky on the old ears.  Whilst not as raw as perhaps the - brilliant - artwork suggests with its black and white, tattoo flash sheet style design it is enjoyable enough.  Yes, 'Death Valley' & 'Something to Believe' have no place here, saved only by Arnett and Radziwill's lead work but 'Revolution' is a fucking 80's thrash heyday throwback to the extent that if you turn the TV on during it you might catch a new episode of Cheers!

    • Full length number 19 from overkill certainly makes a splash in the energy stakes, I mean there's some modern thrash bands that are a good two decades younger than Overkill who can only hope to achieve the levels of spunk that New Jersey's finest produce here.  That in itself is an achievement, for a band of Overkill's stature and reputation to be able to still sound relevant four decades into their career is no mean feat.  Even in the albums weaker moments it never gets redundant and the energy levels remain high.  There's a real sense of a band in a state of some renewed vigour, helped in no small part by the addition of Jason Bittner on drums.  The former Flotsam & Jetsam skinsman is nothing short of superb throughout "The Wings of War" and seems to have squeezed a little extra out of the rest of his peers.

      The album kicks of with a great build to opening track "Last Man Standing" and for the first 4 tracks of the album the Overkill crew stomp, bash and groove their way to a solid level of consistency.  The lead work is of particular note and Blitz sounds as sneery and scathing as ever.  The album is well produced and mixed too with all parts of the thrash machine audible as the five piece hammer away at your skull with the usual blend of chugging riffs and infectious anthems.  


      There are weak moments as mentioned but they are more a victim of how good the strong tracks are.  In it's own right "Distortion" is a solid enough - if not slightly varied a journey from the last offering - but it just doesn't stand up well against a "Bat Shit Crazy" or a "Head of a Pin".  As the album draws to a close you get the increasing impression that the last few tracks are rescued really by some great solos and stomping skin work which is a shame because trimming of a couple of tracks may have made this less obvious. 

      4/5
