This thread started by Sahb has some good suggestions that relate to this thread. It's practically the same without the rock n' roll/metal debate.

I said Crazy Horses then too.

Yes - South Side of the Sky

The bassline and guitar combo is pretty heavy.

dire straits - money for nothing. put some more distorition on that riff and tony iommi would have been proud

AC/DC sure is Heavy Metal, and so they are Rock N' Roll and Punk.

Alright, I definately need an explanation of this

The AC/DC being a metal band debate will never end, because 'heavy metal' has no fixed meaning, and the barriers are decided by the individual. You could argue that they just play 50s rock and roll but louder and harder, but who's to say that stops it from being metal?

The explanation is under the parent post with that statement.

AC/DC playing 50's Rock N' Roll louder and harder like a lot of their peers at the time ala the Damned, Motorhead, The Ramones, Dead Boys etc. is definately Heavy Metal as are those bands.

It's just a different way of doing it as opposed to the lumbering giants at the dawn of the 70's.

Just like the Seattle Scene at the start of the 90's offered up different ways of playing Heavy Metal to what was mainly the norm in the 80's.

"No Time" from the Guess Who is pretty heavy.

It's fun to find heavy rock in places one doesn't expect.

Yep so true, we can search the Quarry all day for it but it's always somewhere else where it is most enjoyable.

Yes, that's why I keep rocks in my head.

Grandpa speaks I, SM74 was all of T-minus two years old when Smoke on the Water came out

Amen! Preach it brutha! This subject will never go away until people learn the history of the music.

Grampa speaks II. Ult and I on the other hand have real credibility, because combined we are 90 years old and over nine feet tall.

Hey Spec, good call on Soundgarden's "Birth Ritual." That's my favorite song by them. Unreal that it was never on a main album. The song is sick!

How about these:









Now that is innovation! The last video, "Tougher Than Leather," just kicks all kind of butt!

Hey, I'm old school!!


I'm not wiping you in Vegas. Someone closer to your age who's nearly in your shoes (diapers) can. They'll have the empathy I'd sorely lack.

It's ok. One of my hands still works.

Topic:
Bread- Mother Freedom

Here's some more, all inter-related:







There's another video I was looking for, but I can't remember the name. I thought Tito Jackson was in the band for some reason. Anyway, the video is from the 80s. I know there are some black dudes in the video, one is playing a guitar shaped like a star, I think, and they're in a spider web. Haha. Anyone remember this one?

Bootsy Collins? That's what comes to mind when you write "black dude & star guitar".

Yeah, thought of that. Wasn't him, though. You don't remember the video? They're in a spider web, man! Haha.

Yeah, that cheesy video rings a bell but I'm drawing a blank.

Same here. I swear it was on Beavise and Butthead on time and they kept going "Titooooooooo" every time one dude came on the screen. I'm thinking now it wasn't Tito Jackson, even though they thought it was.

Cmon this was too easy guys....

The reunited Jacksons - Torture.

AHH!! As soon as Eyesore said Beevis and Butthead I thought "Jackson 5" but Spectre beat me to it. Blast!!



It might be impossible to beat the cheesiness of this video!

Titoooooooooooooooo!

Man, I didn't know the Jackson 5 could that cool.

Oh, man. The Jackson 5 was so much cooler in the 60's!! That's one of the small musical overlaps my wife and I have.


I'm goin' back to Indiana!!

Sir Mix-A-Lot's (with Metal Church) "Iron Man". I thought that was the coolest thing at the time.

This is the re-mix with the "We Will Rock You" sample.

That was a cool song.

"You can strike a match in my hand, too black to tan. Heavy Metal rebel in a one man band!!"

Creedence Clearwater Revival - "Fortunate Son"

Good call!

Early Rush was certainly Metal. Working Man is flat out Metal!

AC/DC is most definitely not metal. They are rock'n'roll, plain and simple.

Thus sayeth the 20 year old!! Haha!! The vast majority of their catalogue was done before your birth. I don't mean this as bad as it sounds, but you're in no position to say AC/DC isn't Metal. It's not your call. You have the right to say it, but you'd simply be wrong. Anyone with any credibility knows this.

AC/DC not metal????


Janet Jackson - Black Cat

Shoot. I was hoping to make the Janet Jackson call here.... killer song!

This is a hardcore type band from my homeland Guatemala, and this song is metal my friend. It sounds like an crossover thrash band
