The Heavy Metal discussion continued...

I have an I-pod that's dedicated to what I consider the best of Hard Rock from 1990 or so until now. I know several Metal elitists that would deny that anything I've got on there is actual Metal, even though most of the music on the pod is actually heavier or faster than 70's Heavy Metal was. But I bet that if I put my headphones on random people on the street, 9 out of 10 would describe most of it as Heavy Metal.

Here are some of the albums that I've had arguments with people about, as to whether they are actually Metal or not.

Corrosion of Conformity- Deliverance
Danzig- III How The Gods Kill
Fireball Ministry- Their Rock is not Our Rock
Kyuss- Welcome To Sky Valley
Overkill- I Hear Black
Trouble- Manic Frustration
Witch- s/t

Believe it or not, I understand their point of view, even if I don't agree with it really.

That playlist kicks ass.

Love me some Fireball Ministry, Kyuss, Overkill and Trouble!

Lemmy replied "Cunt metal?
Spunk metal? Left-handed metal? Right-handed metal? Upwardly-mobile
metal? This term "heavy metal" is only rock'n'roll anyway, because
metal bands are the logical successors toEddie Cochran and Buddy Holly."

Brilliant! Lemmy rules!

The last time I saw Motorhead, the first words out of Lemmy's mouth were "Good Evening. We are Motorhead and we play rock n' roll."

Direct and to the point. I like that.
