An old weekend

Flipping channels on the TV and I see that VH-1 Classic is all heavy metal all weekend.

Rock on! \m/

And then… you realize, it’s VH-1… the “old people” music. And not just VH-1, but VH-1 Classic.

And it’s all old metal, which of course is cool in my book. I just watched a “Classic Albums” on Black Sabbath’s “Paranoid” album. Awesome album.

Maybe it’s just amusing to watch the rebels of my rebellious youth becoming older. I mean, Jizzy Pearl’s recent rants on Metal Sludge sound like he needs to end them with “get off my lawn!”. When you see the guys in Slayer with their kids, or things like James Hetfield going to his daughter’s ballet class.

Yeah, we all get older. We’re just not as angry any more. Life changes, priorities change.

But in the end, well… Lemmy says it best: We are Motörhead, and we’re (still) gonna kick your ass. 🙂

    • That’s something that gets me about it… it’s not really “metal”, if you will. Sure, Sabbath, Priest, Maiden make the cut. But it’s mostly the hair band stuff. Now, I like the hair band stuff, but it shouldn’t be 95% that. If it’s going to be metal, be metal!
