There is NOTHING more metal than this!!

My wife's god-son singing Slave Raider's - Take the World By Storm (he is 3!):

Yup. That may be one of the Metalist things I've ever seen.....

Cool!

is that your website? i liked the "Do you know how to appreciate Death Metal?" tips page. classy! i didn't even know you liked death metal.

ok that was weird

No - that is the boy's dad's site. He sings in a Slave Raider
tribute band, which obviously explains how a three year can pickup
those lyrics.

I do like some death metal, though. Death, Obituary, Crimson Thorn, etc.

That's cool.

Raise the fist of the Metal Child!!

A SLAVE RAIDER tribute band?? Wow, that's an obscure band to tribute.

Must've been tough to find enough musicians who were familiar with Slave Raider to fill out the lineup??

Slave Raider was from here, in Minneapolis. They had a MONSTER
following in the midwest (and the UK for some reason). Thier fans
were called "The Raid" and dressed up like post-apocalyptic vagabonds
and followed the band around. They knew all the "audiance
participation" things and really connected to the band. It was a
pretty cool phenomenom that alot of my age group can relate to and
identify with. '86-'91 they packed every place they played.
And, yeah, it was all pretty cheesy, but it was the 80's and alot of
fun! Most of the members of Slave Raider still live here and play
in various bands. They gave the thumbs up to the idea and now it
is rolling. Just a regional nostalgia thing.

That's very cool, now that you've explained how popular S.R. were in your area it makes a little more sense that there's a tribute band to them. Out here in NJ there are tribute bands to everybody you can think of (KISS, AC/DC, Metallica, Iron Maiden, Bon Jovi, the list is endless), but if someone in this area tried to get a Slave Raider tribute band off the ground I imagine the reaction would be "Slave Who?"

Dammit! That thing shut down all my internet windows. Totally unmetal!

I didnt know about this. Sound like great times.
I have the following stuff by SLAVE RAIDER:
WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT ROCK´N´ROLL lp
TAKE THE WORLD BY STORM lp
YOUNG BLOOD promo 12"maxi
MAKE SOME NOSIE promo 12"maxi.
I always liked them even if some of their songs were not so good.
