(Longshot) Anyone listen to Manowar?


Manowar should only ever be listened to in an ironic way...you know with an ironic look on your face. "Black Arrow" is the height of silliness (and therefore splendid).

They are however incredibly popular over here, you can hear them on the radio and everything.

Only current METUL band I enjoy are QotSA, apart from their last album. To be honest though I'm MUCH more partial to a slice of 80's Goth, especially Sisters of Mercy, Siouxie and the Banshees and The Cure.

No point in having dark, broody lyrics if you can't make out what they're singing IMHO.

I've got "Pissing Razors - Dodging Bullets" as my Alarm clock! Sweet!

Also what about Slayer and Sepultura... some greats there.

Anyone know much Virgin Steele? They're supposed to almost out-Manowar Manowar, but from what little snippets I've actually heard, they're utter crap. Spoken sections in albums should be banned. Only Maiden knew how to do it properly - a few lines at most, right at the start of the song and then away we go.

I went to a Maiden concert where they started with the full Churchill speech before Aces High. It was about ten minutes long, and it was great :)

OK, well they kept it short on the albums at least. 'My son, ask for thyself another kingdom, for that which I leave is too small for thee.' always sends a shiver down my spine. It's so cheesy but it introduces the song (Alexander the Great)so well :D

Maiden are my all time fav band. No contest. Seen them three times so far always a stunning gig.
Up the irons!

I like such a mix of gothrock metal, and whatever the hell other names people like to make up these days that they all kinda merge into rock/metal for me.

Hm.. I love Wolfmother, Lamb of God, Motorhead, Velvet Revolver, old, true, Guns n Roses, Incubus, Devildriver, Black Sabbath, AC/DC, Marylin Manson,My Ruin Nirvana, some Soil, some Buckcherry..hm if I get into 'some of' I could be here all day with random shit.
I like a lot of older stuff. I do like to find new bands, so suggest away...although I'm not into 'screaming' I consider most of it noise...except My Ruin, who rock.

i went to see maiden during their "back to the old days" tour (or something like that). I had no idea of what was the tour about and came back very disappointed. For me Maiden was best between Powerslave and Seventh Son, so it felt like a waste.

That whole album was a disappointment - not a patch on Bat 1, Deadringer, or Bad Attitude. Not even as good as Bat 2... He's just trading on past glories now, although supposedly still fantastic live.

OK. Here's a question:

What do people reckon is the best Boris album and why? Also: have they made their 'classic' yet?

I can't decide what I think their best non-collab album is, and I reckon there is an epoch-defining record in them. At some point.

Author:  Dimrill [ Sun Apr 06, 2008 0:59 ]
Post subject:  Re: Dirty Moshaaahs! Metal!

I've never been overly keen on them, personally. So far Flood has moved me more than their others, but it's very much a "flashes of brilliance" affair.

Author:  Da5e [ Sun Apr 06, 2008 1:03 ]
Post subject:  Re: Dirty Moshaaahs! Metal!

They're far too disparate; maybe when they decide who Boris actually is then they'll release a genuine classic.

I fucking love Heavy Rocks, mind.

Post subject:  Re: Dirty Moshaaahs! Metal!

Bother. eBay misadventures. I spotted a copy of the sunnO)))/Earth tour 12" and my stupid snipe programme failed on me. BTW, I'd just like to clarify that I don't use the programme for evil means; I just have relatively slow internet so I watch while it does its auto thing. I proper wanted this record, but the bid failed - and the item went for way less than my highest bid. Gutted.

Still, at least I got Earth's HEX on picture disc.

re: Boris. I specified non-collab because I think Altar is absolutely where it, to paraphrase Beck, is at. Love it dearly, and it's one of my big fave albums of the decade. In terms of their stuff on their own, there is a hell of a lot of really good stuff, but I dunno. Nothing I'd shout from the rooftops about. Flood is well good, but obv a bit heavy going. Heavy Rocks is fantastic, but I get fatigued by it. Pink might be the closest for me, certainly in CD form (the vinyl release is differently sequenced, with longer songs for those who don't know). Maybe Dronevil -final- would make podium, if only it didn't require two stereos to get the fullness.

They're a great band, but frustrating with it.

Author:  CUS [ Sun Apr 06, 2008 20:01 ]
Post subject:  Re: Dirty Moshaaahs! Metal!

Flood, maybe. Although, what I can only assume is some kind of bootleg stereo version of Dronevil, is my actual favourite so far.

I'm intrigued.

Though to clarify, the offish one is stereo, there's just one disc for the 'drone' and one for the 'evil' (i.e. a guitars disc and a feedback/noise disc a la Neurosis and their Times of Grace / Grace set).

Post subject:  Re: Dirty Moshaaahs! Metal!

Oh. *looks* Sorry, I appear to have gone completely mad. I don't have any kind of bootleg of Dronevil, and the thing that's my favourite is er, "Boris At Last" or "Feedbacker" as I know it. I'm not familiar with Boris, I just have lots of their stuff from er, somewhere.

Feedbacker, anyway, is my fave.

I won entry to a small acoustic set they did in November, down in the bar at the Hard Rock Cafe. They only did five songs (including a cover of The Beatles' Nowhere Man), but I left the building feeling way happier than I should have been given that I had a chest infection. Also, special mention to their drummer for being a top bloke - the band was tired and running late for their show later on, but he stopped and had a conversation with everyone who stopped by the signing table, and was there well after the others had finished up.

That always puts a band in a much higher bracket with me. One of the reasons I like T? so much.

Wow.

The best I managed was the No-Mah festival in Northampton before it became the Twinfest. It doesn't matter though. There are few thing that can match up up to the immense fear, before hand, and ultimate exhileration, after, of appearing on stage when when people have paid to see you there. I hope it doesn't vanish as you get more experienced/jaded. It was one of my personal greatest moments, not in a big headed way, just how it made me feel.
