    I still think SNL is funny, often. Not always and not *as* funny, but still funny.

    I haven't watched SNL very much in years.

    I think around 2005, they started releasing DVD sets of entire SNL seasons. I think they only released the first 2 or 3 seasons though, before running into licensing issues with the live music content and such. I was hoping they'd keep releasing those DVD sets - I would have bought much of the late 80s through the 90s. I imagine they probably have all that footage sitting in closets somewhere..

    GWAR is my favorite band of all time, in case it wasn't obvious.

    Zombies, March!

    It's pretty obvious. They're one of my favorites as well.

    I just tossed $100 in for http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/gwarvstime/gwar-vs-time

    for $250 you can get backstage passes for their next show, too :)

    Yeah, there's a lot of SNL on YouTube. Though I'm not sure you can easily find whole episodes (let alone full seasons) on YouTube.

    Love Dio and Priest, but what about Bruce Dickenson?

    I like bruce a lot. He is an extremely well-controlled vocalist.
    But from a pure singing standpoint, he doesn't hold a candle to Rob or Dio.

    A vocal coach will praise his sustain, his ability to hold a note, his ability to go from low to shriek in an instant, and they are right. One of the most power rock voices ever.

    HOWEVER,

    Rob and Ronnie could sing like angels.
    Or demons.
    Or rockers.
    Or whatever the hell they wanted to sound like, and that's the diff.

    GWAR is my favorite band of all time, in case it wasn't obvious.

    Urungus was Urobvious... I figured as much.

    GWAR was talented.
    When I was younger I rented the VHS tape of Scumdogs of the Universe and back then I thought slymenstra hymen was hot.

    Unlike many of my friends who thought they were a gimmick, I actually thought they were a really talented group of musicians. I didn't really care for them, but they rocked the fuck out. Maggots.

    I put them in the same class as Man o War... Extremely hard fucking rockers, loud, but not in my list of favorites.

    I was in the pit for a show shortly before Bloody Pit of Horror was released. That's the show that made me realize I was officially too old for such things.

    Now I just buy VIP balcony tickets for Gwar shows, so I can sit and watch the spectacle. I don't feel like I'm missing out, because I've been there before.

    Have to agree, I was actually just listening to Dio on vinyl the other day a


    I personally liked Axl back in the day but never considered him a good singer. Its apparent now after all the cocaine and drugs that his style of singing isn't conducive to longevity. He's out of breath all the time, sings on in/out breathing cadence, just horrible.

    Dio was sooooo goood with Rainbow.

    Listen to Rainbow Eyes or Don't Talk to Strangers.

    Listen to Rob Halford at the Whistle Stop singing Dreamer Deceiver and remember it is LIVE.

    There was just something about the music on the Them album that I can't get enough of. Sorta like Queensryche's Operation Mindcrime lp... The songs all go together so well and not just because of the story.

    There was actual thought behind the music on THEM and the drums were so technically sound (actually, so were Queensryche's, interesting).

    When I saw KD recently I was amazed at what he really looks like in person, so not evil. And his health issues, to think he still performs.

    Love all things GWAR, but I particularly like Scumdogs of the
    Universe, and Bloody Pit Of Horror.

    Beyond Hell is my favorite overall album (HAIL FLATTUS! HAIL ODERUS!), but I think Immortal Corruptor is my favorite song.

    DaiTengu

    Immortal Corrupter is awesome, no denying that. How do you feel about the latest album? There is definately a few good songs on there.

    Rob and Ronnie could sing like angels.
    Or demons.
    Or rockers.
    Or whatever the hell they wanted to sound like, and that's the
    diff.

    I personally liked Axl back in the day but never considered him a good singer. Its apparent now after all the cocaine and drugs that his style of singing isn't conducive to longevity. He's out of breath all the time, sings on in/out breathing cadence, just horrible.
    Dio was sooooo goood with Rainbow.
    Listen to Rainbow Eyes or Don't Talk to Strangers.
    Listen to Rob Halford at the Whistle Stop singing Dreamer Deceiver and remember it is LIVE.

    Oh man Rob Halford is legendary. A lot of his music came wayyyy before it's time. I saw GnR in like.. 2009 or so, and honestly his singing sounded like one of the chipmunks. Great show, but left something to be desired.

    I could listen to Maggots all day.


    Thanks,

    Once upon a time.. I was in the back hallway of a house I lived in which was broken up into three units. Main, upper, and lower. The upper unit had stairs in the back hallway. I used to hang out back there and smoke cigarettes and whatnot. One day me and a guy I used to jam with were sitting there and a maggot fell on the table. Then a few more. The guy upstairs had left his trash at the top and maggots were literally falling like rain. I laughed so hard ;p

    Yeah even recently he just had surgery, and is recovering.. but very slowly. I had tickets to see him in toronto a few years back but my wife fell ill and we couldn't find a sitter for my daughter. I wish i could have gone but at least he still got paid from our tickets. I also love the drums on THEM, as well as Abigail. All the musicians really, are VERY good. Totally unlike anything that comes out in todays music scene.

    RH was indeed way ahead of his time. 5 octave vocals. Insane. The problem with priest is, they did what they wanted in the beginning and were great, then they listened to record labels and tried to please fans and its been the same crap since Painkiller.

    Turbo was the last good album by them. And what was great was all the 10 previous LP's leading up to turbo sounded differnt from the next.

    Not anymore.

    Sad Wings of Destiny
    Sin After Sin
    Stained Class
    Screaming for Vengeance

    The only 4 LP's you need to understand why Priest was and is the best metal bend ever.

    I do love me some painkiller!

    A few other metal bands made that error as well. Metallica and Megadeth come to mind heh

    And it isn't just metal bands.
    Chili Peppers have sounded the same for over 25 years.
    Same with Aerosmith.

    Don't get me started with AC/DC

    Turbo was fucking awesome.

    I a gree there is a bit of a dark age after it, but some of the super-new stuff they are making is quite good. Reedemer of Souls and Firepower are quite good in my opinion, more so if you realize it is a band of grandpas doing all the Metalling. That is dedication to Metal. Well, that, and Spanish Obus, with a record of concerts in a year by a band formed by 80ish year olds.

    Like, Iron Maiden. I can't get into anything lately. Fear of the Dark was ok but uuuugh.

    Haven't been into them since somewhere in time and 7th sign

    And it isn't just metal bands.
    Chili Peppers have sounded the same for over 25 years.
    Same with Aerosmith.

    I am not a big fan of Maiden, mut the last album I heards from them was not good. Dance of Death (the theme) was a hit of genious. Such a long record with no chorus and they got it right somehow.

    As for bands that sound the same, Joe Dimaggio has an opinion. When a magazine accused his band of keeping the same style all over through the years, his answer was: "When some dude buys a Manowar album, they want to listen to the Manowar they know, not some weird stuff." It is ironic because there is a noticeable change of style and production in the last albums and it is clearly a turn for the worst...

    By the way, MAN O WAR what happened to them, they were like on the brink of exploding with Blow your Speakers and then poof. Gone.


    I think they did a lot of good stuff after that. At least until they broke their own advice and twisted their style in the latter albums. And even then, those albums are ok/so-so instead of plain bad.

    I would not know how hard they were "gone" since I don't discover bands in the media and I am not really aware of how much presence people has on TV or on the Internet.
