Here's mine...


I'm a huge fan of The Metal but I think I'll start with some of my legendary, less angry, favorites.

Probably my favorite band of all time across all genres is Primus. I've seen them live twice, and I've seen Les Claypool live in his solo act once.

It all started with "Jerry was a Race car driver"

For those who don't know Les, fun fact: he once audition for Metallica and they denied him based solely on the fact that he is far too damn good for them.

I've seen tons of bands live (Slayer, Megadeth, Sepultura, Napalm Death, Cannibal Corpse, Korn, System of a Down, Pantera, Slipknot, Lamb of God - to name a few). But Primus is the band that showed me first hand the largest mosh pit I've ever seen, and it was to this mighty cute song:

A few thousand people went ape shit at the 1:37 mark.


I hold in high regard just about everything Claypool releases; if I had to pick a favorite song it is simply, Here Come The Bastards

    My odd one out was obviously Sia as she ain't Korean or Jap. Here's more KPOP I crave...

    All these will be played at every bar I drink at in Thailand this Winter and put a stop to ED BLOODY SHEERAN, PANAMA, AND HAVANA!

     I've been playing guitar and singing in bands since I was in HS. Started out with mostly Metal from that time period. I've since played in many different bands 50's, classic Rock. Recently my old Metal band from 25 years ago has reunited. Here are a few covers I did in my studio.

    The band members are beginning to understand, the practice may be canceled at short notice for a new VR game.

    No idea how I feel about this BabyMetal thing yet. I mean... I love metal. I just played some old school Cannibal Corpse on my Ibanez earlier. And I love Anime; I still watch Naruto at least once a month.
    But combining them like this... I don't hate it, I don't love it. It's as if Disney made a Porn Film.

    I play Vai, Satch, Dream Theatre, Guthrie Govern myself but this stuff is escapism to free my mind of playing. They were famous from 12yrs old and now the two young ones just turned 19 but have left the tour said to be a health problem with Yui. It's not sexy based on this and I think even when they grow in years to come it will still work as Manga-Style Metal. They wanted to create a new genre in their name. No doubt others will copy it as intended. I don't like their other stuff in Rap or Classic-Rock but these few I do like.

    Well I'm glad I encountered them. This will hit my playlist several times.
    I like the comical approach to their work. Some of it reminds me of Dethklok. Not in a "ripoff" way, just as an appreciation for artistic approach.
    For example, the Give Me Chocolate song reminds me of the Coffee Jingle.




    Two great songs dedicated to something appetizing!

    I love BabyMetal and for whatever reason I also love Black Pink.
    It´s kind of bizarre as it really feels like Disney porn as Zen mentioned. But it does have a somewhat original sound and style to it.

    I love Dethklok. I never could get into BabyMetal but I respect it.
    Here's a few asian and asian styled bands I dig though while I'm in here.

    Tengger Cavalry - New York band that plays Mongolian music.

    Whispered - Finnish band that plays a lot of samurai themed stuff.

    Magnetic trash mountains
    Pervasive death toxins
    Mournful titanium valleys
    Criss-crossed by stagnant
    Rivers of rust and scorched
    Optic / wires / down
    Corporate byproducts owning all lifeforms
    Mass degradation crawling
    Joining the ranks of vanished species
    Void / swallows / the unbelievers
    Content in the flesh / witness in silence
    Wait in time you'll see
    Remnants of reason / shreds of illusion
    Under a dead silver sky
