IM or JP were just doing what they were doing. Just like most other bands. They may look ridiculous sometimes with all that Eddie or leather stuff, but they are genuine. Unlike Metallica or Rammstein.
As for me I don't like differentiating metal (or hard rock or whatever) from rock'n'roll in general.
Their behavior later on proved that they were just into money and hot air, not music, creativity, vibes or whatever it is that makes rock'n'roll so cool.
The softest Beach Boys ballad is more rock'n'roll than Metallica because that was what they felt, while Metallica is just about trying to look as cool rock stars as possible. I've never seen a Metallica fan older than 18 yrs old, sorry. There may be some of course, but that's always the matter...
Rock music has always been regarded as something much cooler than simple pop for retards, hence many bands trying to look as rock as they can, i.e. Metallica, GnR, Rammstein, Linkin Park etc.
If growling is done just for growling sake, if you add riffs just to look like a rock star having no other reason, you're still a pop star trying to look like a rock star.
Is rock music just about growling???
Ok then, I've always seen it as something different.
It's music that matters. Many rock bands play soft music and sing in soft voices, but that doesn't make them pop. And vice versa - you may growl and play heavy riffs, but sing shitty pop.
That's how I see...
If you know what commercial music means and what the behavior of a pop star is, then you should know what I mean. Metallica is a pop group no matter how heavy they sound. They are just businessmen, and that is all.
Btw just a small observation. I noticed quite a suggesting thing on youtube: under most videos of JP, Manowar, Saxon or any other true metal band there are always comments like that:
Priest>Maiden or
Manowar>Maiden or
Saxon>Maiden
Is that an inferiority complex or what? I found no such...
He may want whatever he does, it won't change anything :D The bands that came closest to the Beatles are Pink Floyd and Tame Impala, but still they are too far away from them.
Oh yeah, I'm a crazy Beatles fan :D:D:D
In Russia we have a special term for this - говнорок - which can be roughly translated as shitty rock. We use it for bands that can sound rock, but don't have the rock vibes
He's not among most males, he's unique :p So he has to get rid of his tummy asap:fencing: I wanna see one more strip show of him during the next tour without seeing his belly hanging down to his knees :scared::D
They could slow it down a bit, coz there's something wrong with Bruce's breath going on. I hope it's not cancer recurrence - this time in lungs...
His voice and range are almost perfect, but the breath... he definitely gets choked for some reason.
And again what's the problem with playing HBTN in drop D or slowing it down? His low pitch is fantastic, though I really liked how he sang COTD, though the voice sounds much thinner, than in the 80s of course..
