Hawkwind. “Silver Machine”
Space rock at it’s finest… and you know where Dave Wyndorf got inspired.
And look! Who’s that singing and playing bass?
Music
Mystery rocker found!
Behold the power of the Internet!
The Mystery Rocker has been found!
In a way, you wish it could have gone on longer and gotten bigger. But the bottom line is the guy was found, and that’s pretty cool. 🙂
Updated: and shortly after they found him and gave the update, they disabled and deleted everything. I have to respect that, because all they wanted to do was find the guy, not turn him into a meme (tho I’m sure he’ll be a minor one); nor viral marketing or anything like that. Just the power of the Internet. 🙂
Find the Mystery Rocker
Is it real? is it noble? is it viral marketing? Who cares. It seems like fun, and yeah, something about it seems legit (despite the slick editing).
Updated: They found the guy.
Sunday Metal – The Sword
The final video in The Sword’s “Warp Riders” trilogy: Night City:
Sunday Metal – Chris Broderick
While YouTubing around for metal videos, well… you know how YouTube gives you related video suggestions. I came across a bunch of selections from Chris Broderick, presently the guitarist for Megadeth.
Now there’s no question the guy is beyond talented, but I didn’t know how talented.
Can you two-hand tap like this?
Here he is playing Caprice No.7 Op 20 by Luigi Legnani (amazing).
I’ve always enjoyed and appreciated how much classical music and heavy metal have in common. Another, from J.S. Bach
Then you get a little jazz piece like this:
When I saw Megadeth a little while ago, it was amazing to watch him up there playing Headcrusher. The song shreds and he’s just effortless. Even Mustaine, who’s no slouch, appears to be challenged by Brodericks’ playing.
Awesome.
Sunday Metal – Crowbar
Band: Crowbar
Album: Sever the Wicked Hand
Song: The Cemetary Angels
Heavy. Brutal. Crowbar.
Sunday Metal – Sixx A.M.
Nikki Sixx’s side project, Sixx A.M. has a new album. Here’s the first single and video, “Lies of the Beautiful People”
And you know… I don’t see why Sony Music would want to prohibit playback from wordpress.com. If you allow embedding, allow it. This is free press and promotion for y’all… unless of course, you want to ensure to drive traffic to YouTube itself, which is likely the case.
Motörhead Day!

No, I’m not going to see them tonight. Schedule didn’t permit. 😦
Sunday Metal – Scorpions
One of the best ballads from the Scorpions, “Holiday”
Honestly, I think the original studio recording is the best… but for whatever reason YouTube isn’t able to embed a lot of things. So, this acoustic version will have to do. It’s not bad, but it’s not as good as the original.
Sunday Metal – The Map of Metal
Behold!
\m/ The Map of Metal \m/
Beavis, this is pretty cool!
It’s (yet another) attempt to trace the evolution and geneology of heavy metal music. I love the graphics and artwork and how they put it all together. I also like how they have interactive audio samples of each genre. I discovered some subgenres I didn’t know existed (Oriental Metal? Mathcore? Djent?), and also got to explore some bands I haven’t listened to in a long time, and listen to some new stuff.
There will be endless debates about classifications, and really in the end it doesn’t matter. But this is still pretty cool.
