Terrible Songs from Brilliant Albums, part 1

It’s time to talk  some Metal trash. Here are the rules of the game:  Pre-emptive counterpoint for all you haters: the point of this article is to address that even the greatest artists are still fallible. No one is Rock n’ Roll Midas, turning every single recording to gold. Give songwriters a fucking break. Give […]

The Greatest Riff of All Time?

What is the greatest riff of all time? “Back in Black?” “For Whom the Bell Tolls?” “The Final Countdown?” “Raining Blood?” “Popcorn” by Hot Butter? “Cowboys From Hell?” “Milano Mosh?” “Voodoo Child (Slight Return)?” “Axel F?” “Super Freak?” Beethoven’s 5th? Every Tony Iommi riff? Every Led Zeppelin song?* Don’t bother responding; the question is subjective […]

Always With Me, Always With You

One of the great appeals of the electric guitar is that, in the right hands, each note can have pitch, waver, and modulation – – a wordless vocal, if you will – – like a human singer (Peter Frampton’s talkbox is a different topic for a different discussion). One of the electric guitar’s all-time greatest […]

W.A.S.P. Can’t Be Tamed

I never saw W.A.S.P. live during their early meat-slinging days.* I loved “The Last Command” and their self-titled debut, but I was just a preteen when those albums were released, young enough to giggle at “Animal (Fuck Like a Beast).” I even convinced a parent to take me to see the god-awful movie, “The Dungeonmaster,” […]

Sleep Study: Doom for the 21st Century

Few songs are as shrouded in haze and enigma as Sleep’s epic “Dopesmoker.” Like the planet Jupiter, it’s a massive, dense, swirling giant, with a storm raging at its center. Sixty-three fucking minutes without a key change, most of it chugging along on low guitar and bass strings tuned down to C. It’s a definitive. […]

Metal and Politics – The Toxic Waltz

Let’s have an argument.  Heavy Metal is outspoken, impassioned, unapologetic, and brutally honest. This applies to the music, the performers, and the fans. There’s plenty of room for intelligence, poetry, nuance and subtlety in the Metal dialogue, as long as there’s truth behind it, but we’re not going to flinch from any harsh reality. As […]
