    NO PRAYER FOR THE DYING - Your thoughts…

    Here’s the Wikipedia blurb for simplicity’s sake (I’m at work right now): If you want a better source I can look for one later.

    NO PRAYER FOR THE DYING - Your thoughts…

    “Helter Skelter” was inspired by The Who, specifically “I Can See for Miles”. Don’t forget that John and Paul wrote the Stones’ first single, too, and Their Satanic Majesties is inspired by Sgt. Pepper. If you want a contemporary band that really inspired The Beatles and vice versa, try The...

    NO PRAYER FOR THE DYING - Your thoughts…

    The amount of influence The Beatles had on The Rolling Stones alone makes them more influential.

    Cross Purposes Live (1995) Ozzy and Dio are two of the most iconic vocalists in metal history. Both of them have unique voices that changed the game and inspired millions of fans and singers in the years since they first took up the mic. Their stints in Black Sabbath revolutionized metal as an...

    Black Sabbath

    Cross Purposes (1994) 1. I Witness - Bobby Rondinelli wakes us up before the rest of the band jumps in and off we go speeding through the desert! After the heavy doom of Dehumanizer, "I Witness" is like a back-to-basics heavy rock song that sits in a pretty zippy groove for most of its runtime...

    No I think your anger has been pretty rational given the fact that you have given no5 the benefit of the doubt for years and even went above and beyond to fact-check all of his claims multiple times without him deigning to look at them. This is the one good no5 conversation that proves the...

    The Greatest Metal Song Cup - Part II, Round 5, Matches 43-48

    To be fair the only Machine Head I've been impressed by is the early stuff of which "Davidian" is one of the more memorable tracks. The later stuff is just angry groove to me.

    The Greatest Metal Song Cup - Part II, Round 5, Matches 43-48

    Voting for it just for you. I'm not the biggest fan of it but it's one of those few Motorhead songs where I'm like "yeah this is solid" lol. Also voting Through the Looking Glass, Davidian (great song), In the End (borderline metal but I think it's important in the genre's history and also it's...

    Yeah nothing about your city is walkable except the fucking beach itself, lol.

    I will say, having spent a little time in Philadelphia, that I would rather take the train and walk around in it than drive a car through it. But one city is not indicative of the entire country. I live in a really rural area and the only public transportation available is small Star Transit...

    Yeah but the average person in the EU doesn't drive nearly as much as the average person in the US because Europe actually has walkable cities and public transportation.

    Ah yes, congestion pricing. The #1 thing people complained about. Not the rising costs of daily grocery store items. Not the egg prices. Not the staggering gas prices. Not the insurmountable cost of medical operations. Not the insane cost of prescription drugs. Not the unaffordable cost of...

    Your mistake is thinking that enough people in this country actually cared about Ukraine. I can tell you there’s plenty of people who don’t give a shit and see it as a bottomless hole we’re sinking money into that could go to the American people. I don’t see it this way, especially because if...

    Black Sabbath

    Oh, lol. It's fine. Maybe from a guitar standpoint it's super intricate but it doesn't rip me out of my seat any time it comes on. I haven't even listened to the Wayne's World version. Is it better than the album version? I wasn't blown away by the Heavy Metal version of "Mob Rules" so I...

    Black Sabbath

    Dehumanizer (1992) 1. Computer God - Robotic noises give way to Vinny Appice's announcement that Black Sabbath is BACK, baby! in the form of a really cool, shifty drum intro. But this incarnation of Black Sabbath is a little older, more mature, and working outside of the mainstream eye. Dio...

    It’s a great song, innovative and a genre definer.

    The Greatest Metal Song Cup - Part II, Round 5, Matches 43-48

    Monster Magnet, I guess. I don't think they'll take this one though. "After Forever" is a lot of fun, but this should be an easy curb-stomp for Meshuggah (although I don't have much faith in this forum). "Killing Yourself to Live" is like the sixth best song on Sabbath Bloody Sabbath, while...

    Black Sabbath

    Tyr (1990) 1. Anno Mundi - As opposed to the "Heaven and Hell" vibe Headless Cross started with, Tyr opens with what you might think is a reimagined "Children of the Sea". But the medieval-sounding choir chanting Latin take away that notion as returning war hero Tony Martin steps forward and...
