Heavy Metal?
« on: July 20, 2016, 01:54:52 am »
Is there no heavy metal thread for us heavy metal conservatives? There should be since there are a lot of conservative leaning heavy metal singers and band members.

I'm not usually a fan of covers but this one is a great cover of a 1970s tune by some guys who love our military and veterans.

We have been failing not having a thread like this. I'm all in (I've actually had a couple of photos published in Metal Hammer magazine).

Not my kind of music but I used to work in a bindery with the lead singer (Todd Cushman) back in the early 90s in Jackson Mi..
Super polite and nice guy. Very intelligent guy. We used to talk about science and science fiction a lot.

Dio is a God.

Hands down THE single greatest metal singer of all time. The only one who should even be allowed to whisper his name is Bruce Dickenson.

I forgot Halford.

Metal Singers generally aren't known as vocalists but there are a few true greats.

Hard to argue with Dio as the greatest metal vocalist ever.

I assume Tool qualifies as metal still...right?  Love the band, but not always a fan of Keenan's vocals, though.  Go figure.  Plus, he's a big left-winger, whereas metal acts are more likely than others to be conservative.

Could listen to Carey's drumming all day.  The bridge that begins at 4:35-4:40 is just stuff you don't hear in a lot of metal.

heh -- Hard not to smile at AC/DC.  And Angus Young never had a drop of alcohol in his life.  Dude must have drunk a lot of coffee, though....

Angus was a pro. After swapping guitars he tunes that one while he's playing.

That Baby metal isn't for me but Rob Zombie went to bat for them recently against people where were giving them crap online.

My attitude was not for me but so what.
