    What are the worst band names ever?

    It's great to see a reference to Anal C*nt here. I've loved 'em for years, even seen them play live once. Some of their songs last about five seconds! They can play noise and real metal when the mood strikes them. And if you want to laugh, just read some of their song titles. One of my...

    When Keith Richard Was Actually Good

    Right on, sometimes Keith played abolutely insane good stuff: Prodigal Son, Stray Cat Blues, Sympathy For The Devil, Can't You Hear Me Knocking, Monkey Man, Gimmie Shelter, etc. No one could top it!

    When Keith Richard Was Actually Good

    I think Keith is a good guitarist but he started getting lazy after he hit his peak around 1970 or so. The Rolling Stones had a lot of session musicians in the mid-70s, esp. on the Black And Blue album. And Ron Wood has evolved into the lead player over the last twenty years or so. So Keith...

    First metal band?

    I'm gonna guess, based on reading old Creem magazines and stuff like that, that the term heavy metal was probably first used by Steppenwolf and that the term was gaining wider usage by 1972-74 as Led Zeppelin and other heavy rock bands were selling more and more records and getting increased...

    Robert Johnson lyric question!

    In Robert Johnson's classic song Sweet Home Chicago why does he say "Back to the land of California to my sweet home Chicago"? Last time I checked Chicago was in Illinois! I noticed subsequent versions of this song, such as the Blues Brothers' version, omit the reference to California. Any...

    First metal band?

    Excellent points. A lot of people nowadays don't think of Van Halen or even Led Zeppelin as heavy metal but back in the early days they generally were. It's like the requirements for being heavy metal evolve whenever new bands set new standards. But to me once metal, always metal.

    Elvis Fans: Please settle lyric dispute!

    This is a question for anyone who knows the song Ol' Shep by Elvis Presley. In that song does the person kill his beloved old dog? My buddy and I had a dispute over this many years ago and it never was resolved but every time I hear the song I am reminded of it. One of us always believed the...

    Who is your favorite Canadian Music Artist or Band?

    Excellent thread! The first that come to mind are Rush and Bachman-Turner Overdrive. Let's not forget Frank Marino And Mahogany Rush. Marino rocked with the intensity of Jimi Hendrix with a lot of funk and soul.

    Greatest seldom-heard rock songs!

    Name a song or two or three by your favorite rock bands that doesn't get the airplay or recognition it deserves! I'm talkin' about songs that never seem to make it into the band's setlists or get onto their greatest hit compilations but is one of their best tunes in your opinion. Here's my...

    Led Zeppelin's Jimmy Page Sued For Plagiarism Over "Dazed And Confused"

    Like the blues musicians who came before them, Led Zeppelin borrowed many ideas and recycled all sorts of riffs and songs. Unlike most of those guys, Led Zeppelin made huge amounts of money. But to sue the band over this, especially after all these years, is lame and goes against the grain of...

    Hidden or mystery album tracks

    There's an untitled song at the end of the Danzig's fourth album that sounds like a Satanic chant. There's a bunch of blank tracks before that one, which is the 66th track. I recall Marilyn Manson had a hidden track at the end of a couple of their CDs, one of them was a horrifying bit where...

    10 Greatest Monster Riffs?

    Interesting unexpected choices! Walk On The Wild Side doesn't come to mind right away as a monster riff in the same way as Iron Man or Godzilla. On a side note I noticed that Jeff Beck is on one or two lists and I do think he's a brilliant guitarist but it seemed like he purposely stayed away...

    10 Greatest Monster Riffs?

    Godzilla by Blue Oyster Cult and Aqualung by Jethro Tull are exactly what I had in mind with this topic! Great stuff.
