AC/DC -the Puberty Years

For those who have ever worshipped at the Altar of the brother's Young, there are certain sounds that cause ears to burn. Occasionally these sounds may allow a few bars of 'Love is in the Air' to parse their lips.

Aesthetic Warning:

Whole Lotta Distortion - Led Zeppelin+

Who needs a Marshall amp when you have Police Academy's Larvell Jones:

#OccupyFriday Disposable War Pigs

Politicians hide themselves away
They only started the war
Why should they go out to fight?
They leave that role to the poor
Time will tell on their power minds
Making war just for fun
Treating people just like pawns in chess
Wait 'til their judgement day comes Yeah! [Lyrics] 

One of the Greatest Anti-War songs of all time and one of the best Sabbath tunes ever. Today I will remember the dead who have fallen for politicians greed. We honour their sacrifice but we mourn the senseless loss. Their is nothing glorious about war.

Live versions, covers, remixes after the jump.

Black Stone Cherry

Aces High

We shall go on to the end. 

We shall fight in France 

We shall fightover the seas and oceans. 

We shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air. 

We shall defend our island whatever the cost may be.

We shall fight on beaches, 

We shall fight on the landing grounds, 

We shall fight in the fields and in the streets,

We shall fight on the hills. 

We shall never surrender.

Dave Grohl is not very metal. But at 3:04 it's hard to argue

Revalations, one of the greatest Maiden tracks IMO, however this was just an excuse to post the amazing cover by Mark Covell of Megalomaniac Stewie Griffin as Eddie:

Denim and Leather

Saxon were never made for the video age.

The stills in this video were the least offensive option:

A Classic Rock song, unlike the sell out from 1988, which is okay but is it Saxon? This is why Saxon can never be Rock Shaman despite the heritage.

The Devil has the Best Tunes

...according to Tenacious D at any rate. Check the original version after:

Metal Gods

If you can reach all the notes you are not a man...

Doro and the Scorpions

Known to Rock You Like a Hurricane

I Want Out

Don't we all? Helloween doing their impression of Iron Maiden back in 1988.

No One Like You

Well there isn't, is there? Unless you are a twin. 

Mock German Metal at your Peril!

They can:

They whistled* in the:

They had their:

and they have an Industrial understanding of Metal: 

Germans understand the true value of the Mystical Lines of Power. They may have some very dodgy pop music (and the British cannot throw any stones) but by the power of metal, pop music can be unified to become something greater. Hau weg den Scheiss (hic!)

The Schmolli One



and the Morgoth



Today I celebrate German Metal with 16 posts for the 16 constituent states and a hat tip to a time when German Metal was a powerhouse around the world. Especially if you were behind the Iron Curtain.

Tag der Deutschen Einheit

Gimme One More, One Night Stand

In Age when AC/DC albums were thin on the ground and not very good, the discernible listener could always improvise

The Bach Nuge

Do not tar the Bach by placing him with the Tommy and Gina One of New Jersey. The Bach Worships the Great White Nuge. There can be no comparison. It is commanded.
