Heavy Metal Roots & Branches Post #12

Jimmy Page and Robert Plant deny having anything to do with the genre of Heavy Metal. The duo wouldn't even grant an interview for VH1's documentary, Heavy: The Story Of Metal. The representative that delivers the message stresses that Jimmy Page and Robert Plant say they were never a Metal band and have/want no connection to the genre. Despite the heavy denial (pun not intended) Led Zeppelin were very instrumental in the development of Heavy Metal. All it takes is one listen to some of the Traditional Metal and Hair Metal bands and the influence is very evident. The Power Ballad is every Metal Bands grab for a Top 10 Hit, the origin of The Power Ballad is debated but it can not be denied that Led Zeppelin II's "Thank You" is a strong contender for that spot. Robert Plant's over the top vocal style is also a huge influence on most of your Traditional Metal Singers, David Coverdale of Whitesnake and Jack Russell of Great White are perfect examples.

Heavy Metal Roots & Branches Post #11

Accept never obtained the commercial success they deserved in The USA. Their biggest selling album in The States was Balls To The Wall, due in much part to the so called "Gay Metal" controversy. The lyrics of the album dealt with oppression and one of the worst cases of the times was the terrible treatment of Homosexuals. This is a subject that has always made instant controversy in The States from the religious right in our country. The controversy brought the attention of record buyers wanting to see what the fuss was about. The album peaked at #74 on the US Billboard charts. The follow up Metal Heart only hit #94 even though (or maybe because) it had a more commercial sound. In 1987 Udo Dirkschneider was fired from the band. Udo continued on as a solo artist and in a kind of bizarre show of support the members of Accept helped write the entire Animal House debut album by U.D.O. (I mean Black Sabbath didn't write Ozzy's solo debut Randy and Bob did)

Heavy Metal Roots & Branches Post #10

Hanoi Rocks formed in Helsinki, Finland in 1979. Having formed before the early 1980's Hard Rock/Heavy Metal Explosion the band was accepted by Metal Heads everywhere in spite of their Glam image. The band cited influences as varied as Cheep Trick, The Police and The MC5 and their music showed it. Equal parts of Punk, Hard Rock and Pop were used to create the bands sound. Any Glam/Hair Metal band that followed, Motley Crue et al owe a great deal of debt to Hanoi Rocks when it comes to their image. The bands Glitter Glam was more influential than the Heroin Hooker Chic of The New York Dolls, although every Glam/Hair Band owes The Dolls just as well. After the Hair/Glam explosion Hanoi Rocks were never thrown in with "The Posers" by the "True Metal" fans.

Hanoi Rocks drummer Nicholas "Razzle" Dingley was killed in a drunk driving accident in Redondo Beach, California on December 8, 1984 at the age of 24. Motley Crue vocalist Vince Neil was driving when he lost control causing an accident which killed Razzle and seriously injured 2 others. Hanoi Rocks canceled all their tour dates except for two, January 3 and 4, 1985 Kulttuuritalo, Helsinki, Finland. These shows were broadcast live as "Europe A Go-Go". The shows were a Memorial To Razzle and the band would dedicate "Million Miles Away" to him each night. Former Clash drummer Terry Chimes filled in for Razzle and would be the bands drummer until their break up when Michael Monroe quit the group June 17, 1985.

Wishbone Ash's Twin Guitar Attack was a heavy influence on early Traditional Hard Rock and Heavy Metal bands. Thin Lizzy, Judas Priest, Def Leppard, and Iron Maiden all featured a Dual Lead Guitar line-ups attributed to the influence of Wishbone Ash. Granted Wishbone Ash's music is a little removed from Heavy Metal, this straight forward hard rocking unit played a huge role in the development of the classic Heavy Metal sound. In Rolling Stone Magazine Andy Powell and Ted Turner were voted into the Top 20 Most Influential Guitarists Of All Time. Their fans already knew this.

I ripped the waves with DVD Audio Extractor. I then used Goldwave to re-edit some track marks and raise the volume. NO EQ, or noise reduction was used. The waves were encoded to MP3 320kbps with Traders Little Helper because the DVD had lossy audio.

The most important influences on Modern Heavy Metal are Black Sabbath, Judas Priest and Motörhead. Black Sabbath were the architects who developed the the main frame of the genre, Ian Gillan of Deep Purple says that before Black Sabbath musicians thought being heavy was just playing louder. Judas Priest gave the genre it's uniform and identity, putting the official unwritten rule book together. Motörhead brought the 2 worlds of Punk Rock and Heavy Metal together. I was introduced to Motörhead by the same Punk Rocker in high school who introduced me to Black Flag. Punks and Metal Heads were both at Motörhead show. The bands mix of Punk & Metal was a huge influence on the development of Thrash Metal. No Motörhead, no Metallica, Anthrax or Slayer.

Correction Of The Police Rock Goes To College Date

Have to thank Speedy from So Many Roads To Ease My Soul for bringing to my attention that the date on the Police Rock Goes To College boot was wrong. I went with the date given by the original uploader of the DVD which was April 6, 1979. According to The Police Wiki they played The Paradise Theater in Boston Massachusetts that day. The correct date for the show is given as February 21, 1979. So update your file set, I have already uploaded a corrected file and corrected the information on the post as well. Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.

I ripped the waves with DVD Audio Extractor. I then used Goldwave to re-edit some track marks and to smooth out some volume issues. No EQ or noise redction was used. The DVD had lossy audio so the waves were encoded to MP3 320kbps with Traders Little Helper.

The broadcast had a few rough spots that I have tried to even out. At the beginning of the show the audio was a little muffled and muddy but evens out befor e the end of the first song. Raising the volume just resulted in a loud muddy noise so I left it alone.

This is Neil Young & Crazy Horse's first gig together in 4 years. The band had no rehearsals prior to the string of shows at Warners Theater and were functioning with a "new" member in Nils Lofgren, who played with the band briefly in 1971 and 1973. The show was streamed over Neil Youngs website.

Heavy Metal Roots & Branches Post #7

The Traditional Heavy Metal sound of Scorpions was a welcome counter punch to the Hair/Glam Metal bands that were flooding the airwaves in the 1980's Heavy Metal take over. The Scorpions were long term pros in the genre by time the 1980's Heavy Metal surge having recorded their debut album in 1972. When bands like Poison were all over the radio and Metallica and the rest of the pioneers of the day were shunned bands like Scorpions, Judas Priest, Accept & Tesla offered up True Metal in between the Posers.

After the success of the Seventh Sojourn LP and tour The Moody Blues went on a long hiatus so that the members could release some solo material and spend time with their families. During the interviews of this recording the band actually admits that they just couldn't stand one another any more. After 6 years they decided to get back together and see if the magic was still there. Thankfully it was and the band wrote and recorded the Octave LP and the fans were more than pleased. We lost Ray Thomas January 4, 2018 at the age of 76, no cause of death has been released.

Heavy Metal Roots & Branches Post #6

Newcastle England's Venom crawled out of the underground during the New Wave Of British Heavy Metal. Formed to be the most extreme band that they could be, Cronos, Mantas, & Abaddon took the Satanic Metal banner and waved it high. Productions values were purposely low fi and speed was the motto. The band was a huge influence on the young underground metal scene. Venom is credited for giving the Black Metal genre it's name which was the name of their second LP. This recording comes fro the American Seven Dates Of Hell Tour for the Possessed LP. After this tour Mantas would leave the band and would be replaced by the twin guitar line-up of Mike "Mykus" Hickey and James Clare. The Calm Before The Storm LP was released by that line-up. After Calm Before The Storm Venom disbanded, only to reform with Mantas, Abaddon, Tony "The Demolition Man" Dolan (ex Atomcraft) on bass and vocals and second guitarist Al Barnes. More line up changes followed as well as a classic line-up reunion, until Venom settled on Cronos, Stuart "La Rage" Dixon on guitars, and Danny "Dante" Needham on drums. We also have a band called Venom Inc. that is comprised of Mantas, Abaddon, & Demolition Man touring as well

Heavy Metal Roots & Branches Post #5

Hardcore Punk played a major role in the development of Modern Heavy Metal. The members of early Thrash Metal bands such as Metallica, Slayer, Voivod, & Anthrax  were influenced by the Hardcore Punk Scene in many ways. The Do It Yourself Ethic was one, these bands didn't wait around to get a record deal they released their music by themselves. They also took influence from the subject matter as well. Gone was the party all night and fuck all day lyrics as well as the break up songs. These new bands raged against the system, parents, poverty, war, politics, death, and nuclear annihilation. Then came the speed, faster and heavier was the way after hearing such songs as "Dog Bite" by The Dead Kennedys where they stop the take and start over because it was too slow..
