[DarkSkies]

Is there a theme here? Or just a bunch of random old skool videos? I might have an answer in a week or so... Any of you other metal freaks got something to throw down let's see it!!!


Manowar


Hold your head up high
Raise your fist up in the air
Play metal louder than hell
Louder than hell

They can't stop us
Let 'em try
For heavy metal
We would die!

Kreator

[DarkSkies]

Angel Dust, they say the lead singer sounds like a little like Malmsteen or Dio.

IMHO,the vox man from Angel dust I know sounds nothing like RJD,
he has the accent from his homeland Germany.
perhaps now he may unless the vox man is now a diff person.

RP you're way ahead of me. I was gonna post all the bands you mentioned in the PM's, but now you made an even bigger list!

I'm still looking for youtube videos of your band, anyone has any links to Evil Angel let's see em! In the meantime, maybe we'll call this the Old Skool metal mother******* thread. Post up what ya got, let's see if we can keep this going!


Death... an old girlfriend's brother used to play base for Chuck Schuldiner. Of course, Chuck changed band members every year or so, so that's the way it went.

RIP Chuck, you died way before your time.







Scream bloody gore, live Tampa, when they were first getting known. You really can't appreciate this stuff unless you were there in these small clubs where they played. I also saw them at Obsessions in Randolph, which I think is now a Go Go place.

[dogfish]

how about Motorhead, can't get any more old school than that?

I saw Death at the very same club I ended up playing at a year later.it was intense,evil and very fast.this was during the Leprosy tour.
another of my fave band was playing with them Dark Angel.

since many of the bands from that time have stopped and come back[Destruction,Kreator,Angel Dust],another has just returned with a brand new album.the german thrash band TANKARD has returned and has a new album out.we just got it at our station.
man there are so many bands most metalhaeds have never haerd of,if you look at the BNR metal pages,you can find out about SO many geat acts.
forget the radio exept staions like seton halls station,our station WNHU 88.7 fm and others,the radio plays what they want you to hear,mainstream music.
I have y own mind,ideals and music style.I can find my music.

funny thing.
A fellow metalhead and the guitarist of Witchery/Seance Patrick Jensen was approached by an MTV reported at a small club after Witchery's set,the reporter asked Him "how did your set go?",,Jensesn said,"what are you doing here?,,you guys don't play our kind of music!,get out of here,**** you and **** MTV!!!"

MTV started with us and ended against us,headbangers ball.Ricky Racktman,remember those days??

Hmm,where do I start,I guess at the beginning.
metal music is NOT just music and trying to look/sound cool,it is an entire lifestyle.
posers are the ones that do it to look/sound cool,true metal warriors[like myself] live it and develop an identity from it.
since I was 13 years old Black Sabbath was the pilot light for me,I do remember hearing some Cream and some old Iron Butterfly but,that was just kindling.
bands such as:
Death
Dark Angel
Iron Maiden
Judas Priest
Angelwitch
Prong
Testament
King Diamond
Mercyful Fate
Exciter
Armored Saint
Slayer
Deicide
Venom
Celtic Frost
HellHammer
Apocalyptic Raids
Hate Eternal
Enslaved
Kreator
Tankard
Angel Dust
Man-O-War
Wild Dogs
Hate
Ulysses Siren
WarningSF
God Dethroned
Dimmu Borgir[translation: black castle]
Kalopsia[New Jersey's very own]
Funebrarum[New jersey's very own]
BloodFeast[New Jersey's very own]
Oz
Denata
Freevil
Witchery
Seance
In Aeternum
Azagal
Chemikiller
Laaz Rockit
Pavor
Sodom
Just to name a few from my head,too many to list here.
It was demin/leather and doing it your way.

I had a dream years back,to play a guitar,then be in a band,then play live on stage.
one day like this one,I asked my friend Frank Jasinski about the idea,he was totally with it.
frank loved drums but,never played,I love guitars/bass but,never played.

Frank bought a premier kit,I bought a cheap guitar called memphis + the amp[30 watts].
I then saw an offer for a guitar lesson system called "the metal method" by doug marks who had the randy rhodes style/look.
I bought it in october,I was 18 years old,Frank was just turning 18.
I practiced and followed the structure of the lesson.
in a few days I was doing chords!
still I persisted forward,learning and practicing.
over winter we both studied our intsruments.
when May came,we hooked up in this small storage spot with electrical outlets.
we played together for 2 months and even wrote some songs together.
it was working!!
in August we had out **** down,we needed a bassist.
this young guy Dave came in and we showed him what we were doing and he fell right in.
he learned our songs and such,it went great.

tis metal club we hung out at called The brick&wood cafe held metal shows there every week.
we gave the owner a tape of a raw,rough metal track.
he called us to play in october!!
we played with a band from Mass called Psycho and another from New Your called malfunction.
they were as heavy as we were and it went great.

my gear was a bit lacking,my newest amp was just 40 watts but,had a huge speaker.when it was miked it sounded like thunder!!.
we bashed out 5 thrashing songs of our own and the crowd freaked out,stage diving,headbanging mosh pit,you name it.
even the other bands were moshing to us,we were in our glory.
heres my gear list
1-1977 Ibanez Flying-V in clear Black cherry/white pickguard
dual Dimarzio double coil humbucker pickups,HRS strings

2-1986 Ibanez Roadstar-2 black/black pickguard,Seymour-Duncan Shredder pickups in the bridge position.D'Addario strings

3-amplification Peavy studio Pro-40 also a peavey VTW-120 full stack with groove tubes and ventilation fan added.

4-effects-1 DOD pre amp distortion,1 Boss stereo chorus,Boss HM-1 heavy metal,DOD turbo overdrive and of course a 1988 CryBaby wah.

thats what I used for my killer sound.
at first we played thrash but soon we dabbled in Dark Metal or Blackmetal as they call it nowadayz.
it was the BEST time of my life,chicks,reputation and living the metal life without the drugs and all the cool ****!

if you listen to your local radio station,you are hearing what they want you to hear!
My kind of music is played only on college stations since they are not commercial.you can listen in and make requests to my metal radio show,
Scott & Roddy's Dark Intentions at WNHU.net
Or if you are close enough WNHU 88.7 fm,we play only the heaviest in underground metal music and we are non-commercial!
our segment is 12 midnight till 2 am saturday nights so,come listen to what YOU want to hear!!!

Bang Your Head!

[Rip-Plugger]

A new technical thrash band has risen from the boiling depths,,,it is led by a veteran etal monster with a pedigree in the metal way of life.
this band is from New Jersey and this horde is called:,,,,Fire From The Altar!.
their brand new EP has just been released and has 4 tracks of great musicianship along with grand execution.
all 4 tracks are desirable and offer one a chance to form a mosh pit anywhere you play this new disc.

The frontman of FIRE FROM THE ALTAR is non other Than Matt Medieros of KALOPSIA[bass/vokills] also of New Jersey's incredibly evil/sick FUNEBRARUM[guitars].
on this epic EP Matt is doing the banshee Vox which comes easy when you are a veteran metalhead.

We played half of this EP last weekend on our radio show and will do the other half on this upcoming show.

Fire From The Altar is:

Matt Medieros-Vox

John Stanley-Guitars

Chris "Crumbs" Koniecko-Drums

Jason Koniecko-Guitars

Brandon Hess-Bass

you can check out this great band at Myspace.com/firefromthealtar

you won't regret it,,,
Thrash or die,,,

Manowar

I seen Manowar 2 times at Lamour's in Brooklyn in 1983 or 1984. I love that song "Gloves of metal".

I also seen:
Celtic Frost
Mercyful Fate
King Dimond
Overkill
Accept
Metallica (my favorite band)
Anvil
exciter (I think, I don't remember. I was brain dead)
SOD
I will add more when I start remebering.

Bands I listen to that I didn't see live.:
Dark Angel
Slayer
Motor Head
venom
Anthrax
AC/DC (when I was in JHS this band was my favorite)
Many more I'll list them later.

[DarkSkies]

How many people remember Jim Carrey with Cannibal Corpse?

[DarkSkies]

Napalm Death, one of the originators of grindcore...

[jigfreak]

Metallica and Ozzy, go together like razor blades and bat wings. Cool vid.

[Rip-Plugger]

another metal icon passes!

Can't remember if I saw Manowar in Brooklyn or Jersey, only saw them live once, they were great!

Manowar...the distinction of being the loudest band at the time. I might have been at that L'Amours show, Vpass, what times back then! Ya put up some of the greatest bands of the era, V. Good taste in music!


The only criticism I have of Manowar is I thought Joey Demaio was a little too full of himself.

[DarkSkies]

Before there was Manowar...

Before there was metal....

When Sabbath and Zeppelin were the heaviest of the day...


"Very interesting. There was a NYC Punk band from the 70's called the Dictators, various members of this band subsequently ended up forming and joining 4 entirely different bands- Twisted Sister, Manowar, The Fleshtones and The Del Lords- You can see the dictators and the other offshoots on youtube. "

Man how I miss those CBGBs shows.





Dictators w/Joey Ramone, RIP Joey
