How can I resist?
As for the last minute of the clip (obviously edited in by the video poster), I’ll just say this. CC may not be Steve Vai, but he’s making albums, up on stage, touring the world, getting all the groupies, and living the life. Meanwhile all the haters are sitting at home wishing they could be doing what he does. Rock on, CC.
Are these lyrics from a heavy metal song? or a good old church hymn?
Unless you know the specific lyric, it’s actually scary. And funny.
Man.. was it really that long ago that Ice-T and Body Count stirred up all that controversy?
I feel old now. 🙂
I will say… listening to this edited version of “There Goes The Neighborhood” just doesn’t sound right.
OK, so maybe it’s not metal like Meshuggah, but hey… Austin, Texas’ own Broken Teeth kicks ass.
What I love about this video for “Viva La Rock, Fantastico” is well… the video. McMaster’s got an iPod in his ear for the audio feed, then a camera in his hand, and appears to just be wandering the streets in downtown Austin filming. Kinda cheesy, kinda cheap, but also kinda cool. 🙂

Wow.
Wow. I’m stunned. Big loss for the metal music world.
The “y’know, of Type O Negative”. Back in my college radio days I had a promo done by Peter. “Hi, this is Peter Steele, you know… from Type O Negative… and I died listening to WXJM.” So, that’s what the above somewhat references.
Man.
I remember an old high school friend of mine went to visit some family one summer and came back with a mixed tape of music. There was this one song on there that we thought was awesome but had no idea who it was. After a lot of digging around we found out it was the band Carnivore. My exposure to Peter Steele had begun.
Then in the college radio time, I was talking with the rep at Roadrunner Records, who knew I was a Carnivore fan. He told me about Peter’s new project, then known as Repulsion (then Sub-Zero) but that name was probably going to change due to another band already with the name. The rep sent me a tape of the demos (that became Type O’s debut album) and I loved it. That first album from Type O Negative was awesome.
Carnivore was silly (tho fun). Type O was unique, heavy, artsy, moody, and poked a lot of fun at things. And Peter himself… an interesting man. I always enjoyed listening to him, especially as he battled his own issues in life and how he changed and evolved, especially made manifest on the last album. And I must admit… I really loved Peter’s voice, especially when he did his softer stuff, like “Nettie”.
We’ll miss you, Pete.

Alice Cooper helped bring concert theatrics to rock and roll, making it a staple. It’s one thing I love about a good rock, especially metal, show. Sure it’s nice to hear them play live, but it’s even better to also see a show. Something for your eyes as well as your ears.
This live version of Alice Cooper from 1971 doing “It’s My Body” is also refreshing to hear because there are mistakes. Alice will slip off key and sing so loud that he overdrives the mic. The guitarist screws up a few times. It’s so refreshing from the uber-slick production that’s the staple of music production today.
Here’s “I Love the Dead” showing off the macabre theatrics:
A UK band called The Heavy came out to KR Training back at SXSW 2008.
Here’s a video of the experience. That is Karl Rehn instructing things.
I like the uh… “reactive” targets at the end of the shoot. 😉
Truth and honor, faith and pride
All convictions surely died
Honesty’s time has passed
Time for lies is here at last
Truth is false, I’m so fed up! How did we come to be so fucked?
Lady Liberty rots away. No truth, no justice. The American Way.
I’m listening to Pantera’s “Cowboys From Hell”
and when Phil sings about his “double-barrelled 12 gauge”, the thought that goes through my head is how inadequate that is with only 2 shot capacity.
What does it say about me? 🙂
