I like Rage Inside the Mansion, a la Mike Patton.

@@guitarslinger2717 Indeed as I said. It just jumped into the spotlight for six years and then died. All the fans turned into grind Barneys.

I'm at a point I think the entire Grunge sound movement was nothing but astroturf and people lying to themselves with rare moments of something listenable.

Let's face it, two of the only "grunge" bands worth a damn (Alice in Chains and Soundgarden) were metal and made no attempt to hide their love for their influences.

I always saw it as a made up new genre by those running the music industry because they desperately wanted to come up with SOMETHING to be the next big thing in the early 90's. Then they tried again with "nu-metal" later on. They always need some kind of fad to make money off of.

GRunge shot itself in the face with a shotgun...

Good ol' WASP. Just had to watch The Dungeon Master (or Rage War alt title) for that fantastic WASP scene. Such a great slice of 80s cheese.

Alice is also a devout Christian, and you know he's the real deal when all the Pharisee Bible thumping sorts constantly have a go at him for being "deceptive" just because he's a rock star.

Alice Cooper had a run-in with ABBA in Australia,. quite a funny story.

@@Helo_rides_for_commies As an Arizonan, I would proudly vote for Alice Cooper. On a lighter note, if ever you're in AZ, keep your eyes peeled for glass bottles of chocolate milk at the grocery store with Cooper's face printed on the front. He's partnered with Danzeisen Dairy and a portion of proceeds go to Solid Rock Teen center. It's quite charming.

I stopped reading german Metal Hammer and Rock Hard since they've fallen into the woke maelstrom, using gendered, inclusive idiot language, being moralising and SJW and all that non-sense. These mags were always rather left-leaning, but back in the day i didn't mind much because it still was about music first and foremost. Some of the old Rock Hard staff have founded another mag and some few years ago, when the other mags started their bullshit, they wrote they are not excluding anyone, but they keep using the old style of writing because it's easier to read. It was such a stupid move from the other mags pissing on parts of their readers, especially since they sell less and less copies of their paper, going from around quarter a million in 2000 down to less than 36 thousand nowadays.

​@@Knochenbrigade whats the Name of the New magazine? I picked up a copy of (German) RockHard for the first time in ages couple of months ago and could hardly believe my eyes

@@alexandervosteen5986 It's called "Deaf Forever", they also have an online shop for their mags and merch. It's rather old school with way less modern metal/symphonic/groove stuff.

I remember years ago when they trashed Peter Steele (RIP) because he started talking more about his newly-rediscovered Catholic faith; funny enough even back then they got ratioed in the comments by Type O fans who were supportive of Pete because--even if they themselves weren't religious people--he bluntly spoke about how it was one of the things that helped him become sober

​@@johnbenedictxviiiI don't understand how anyone who hated Pete for that could respect Type O for their really early work. Just go look up the lyrics for Der Untermensch. The whole thing is about welfare queens leeching off of everyone else.

I've Shinedown live once. They're from Florida, so it's not suprising they're fairly reasonable.

Planet Zero is pretty good too, imo. Not much a fan, but I turn that song the F up when it comes on.

Same with FFDP, while I’m not really a fan, I do appreciate their music video for their song Living the Dream. Which outright likened the unjust enforcement of mask mandates to communism.

hey, thrash metal was filled with skepticism about government specifically, war and propaganda are among the top 5... let's call it top 3 topics, if it ain't the devil/religion, it's probably one of those lol not as much the country or their allegiance though and compared to the things about religion that were often far more divisive, those things were often more observational in nature, without really showing much judgement on the matter

So true...I was talking to a poster on an irish news website he was a metal band member that supposedly did well enough and the shit he was posting was so pro establishment I ripped him to pieces saying how metal was anti establishment but he doubled down but couldn't respond and he resorted to the usual baseless accusations like bigot and what not were I reply which one of my standard responses calling them an establishment loyalist fascist, they never know how to handle that one lol I tell yea the establishment loyalist fascists on the site don't throw the word fascist around so easy anymore lol because anyone who wants the state to by force what the establishment thinks is right on the people even when theirs no victim is a facist...anyone who spouts establishment propaganda and defends the establishment is a establishment loyalist so theirfor an establishment loyalist fascist, it near melts their brain...

Well to be fair after the Black album Metallica hasn't been as good. They still put on a great live show but otherwise meh. Heck the Black album isn't as good as the ones before it.

Lars is a huge advocate of socialism yet he despised the redistribution of his songs through Napster.

@@newtpondskipper I respectfully disagree. I think that the early Metallica stuff is very generic and they sounded like every other of the hundreds of thrash metal bands. Best of Metallica was Master-Black-Load IMO. That's when they really developed a unique style.

Metallica has sucked since Napster. Haven't listened to a damned thing from them since the black album because of it. I guess I'm OG, but if someone shows their cards like that, they best have a good hand. Lars did not. It sure as hell tainted Justice's lyrics for me, too.
