justdave's notes:
I ripped the wwaves with DVD Audio Extractor. I then used Goldwave to re-edit some track marks. No EQ, noise reduction or re-mastering was needed or used. The DVD had lossy audio so I used Traders Little Helper to encoded the waves to MP3 320kbps.

In my humble opinion Godsmack is one of the best Metal bands to come out of the Neo-Metal or Ozzfest Metal scene. Godsmack's consistently excellent live shows has won them fans the world over. Godsmack has sold well over 20 million records worldwide, not bad for a band that some dismissed as a Alice In Chains rip off.

The band plays None So Vile in it's entirety. Technical Death Metal band Cryptopsy formed in Montreal Canada in 1988. The bands fast yet technical riffs, the bass players popping and slapping as well as shredding, and Lord Worm's angry Rottweiler vocal style took the Death Metal scene by storm. The bands sophomore LP None So Vile released in 1996 is listed as #11 on the list of Top Death Metal Abums of All Time. The band has gone through many line up changes with drummer Flo Mounier being the only constant in the bands career.

I ripped the waves with DVD Audio Extractor. I then used Goldwave to re-edit a couple track marks. No additional work was required ie. EQ, noise reduction etc. The DVD had lossy audio so I used Traders Little Helper to encoded the waves to MP3 320kbps.

This is a great performance with some surprises. The band includes "On The Way" a song from the original Armored Saint EP that hasn't been played in years. The next surprise is "Spineless" from Symbol Of Salvation which may have been played only once before, the band can't remember.

Early in their careers both Anthrax & Metallica wanted John Bush to be their front man. Anthrax came calling when they fired Neil Turbin after the Fist Full Of Metal album was released. Metallica called John Bush when James Hetfield felt he wanted to concentrate on playing guitar due to lack of confidence in his singing voice. Bush declined both offers because Armored Saint was gaining momentum. Later when Armored Saint was on hiatus, Anthrax fired vocalist Joey Belladonna and asked John Bush to join again. He accepted and that line up released 5 studio albums and 1 live album before Bush returned to Armored Saint and Belladonna returned to Anthrax.

As a member of the Big 4 Of Thrash Anthrax's contribution to the evolution of Heavy Metal really needs no explanation. It's great to see the reunion  with Joey Belladonna was not just a one off money grab. Belladonna has been back in the band now since 2010.

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.

Heavy Metal Roots And Branches Post #9

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.

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.

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.
