"Heavy Metal Thread"

We really needed a thread for the world's premier type of music, so I created one, and here it is.

Rock on!

*Sigh*

I have to be polite about Metallica, Bon-Jovi AND Iron Maiden in here?

*Develops nervous tic*

Long albums are better, you get more for your money. My longest album clocks in at a few seconds short of 80 minutes.

Best long song ever: Dry County by Bon Jovi! Fantastically long solo. Great stuff.

Drowning Pool are back.

I didn't expect that, although the song they did with Rob Zombie on vocals was a big clue that they hadn't packed up and gone home.

It turns out it was A Nation On Fire, especially the bit near the end where it speeds up. One night I thought he was singing "I can't see an aardvark!" ...

Don't do drugs, kids!

It's a damn good album, but a tad long at 55 minutes. But then, with epics such as 'Master of Puppets' and 'Disposable Heroes', it is well worth purchasing/pirating.

Would get it, but spent most of my money on an mp3 player. In time, in time.

Well, I've been on about it for a few days now, but Live Sh*t arrived this morning. I was awoken by my mum shouting that my poster had came. I was completely dazed and confused at that hour and thought 'WTF, silly woman I haven't ordered a poster'. Anyway, it turned out it was actually post but I misheard. But I'm sure you're not interested in my crazy tales so:

(This is about Metallica, incase you haven't been following)
As I'd said, I've already heard the contents of the 3CD's and was impressed very muchly, I believe it was all recorded from the tour which followed the release of the black album, Mexico City 1993 apparently. It's great and it's got all the classics on like Enter Sandman, Battery, MoP, FWTBT etc.

There are two DVD's; one which pretty much has a similar setlist to the CD's, but apparently from San Diego 1992, anyway, 20 songs on there and they all rock.
The second DVD which I haven't had much of a chance to look yet at contains a concert from a couple of years before that (1989) which is pre black album, but after And Justice For All, so it's got all the songs like One and Harvester Of Sorrow. It's probably good, I've only seen the first few minutes of it.
So, conclusion: well worth my 20something pounds from Amazon. If you can afford it you really should buy it. And if you can't, you never know, you might get lucky and see a copy in Oxfam you could steal...

And there's a 20 minute version of Seek and Destroy on CD2 (I think), worth a listen. Oh and there's some mini movie thing at the start but I haven't watched that.

I must get "Master of Puppets" actually.

I don't like overly long albums: They drag on far too much. 'British Steel' by Judas Priest lasts only 35 minutes, but it's long enough.

The only albums I've got that go on over fifty minutes are 'La Sexorcisto' by White Zombie, along with 'Master of Puppets' and 'And Justice for All' by Metallica. And that's only because they rawk. :)

I've only heard SITA and RIB by Slayer, but out of those I'd say Seasons is better.

Anyway, if you want long songs get Train Of Thought by Dream Theater(/Theatre), 7 songs with a total length of 70 minutes. I'm sure you can work out the average for yourself.
