dondoboy Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 RUSH played a pretty large role in "I Love You Man". They even make an appearance. It was nice to see. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mountain bed Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 I finally got around to watching Some Kind Of Monster last night. Fascinating doc - and I thought I had issues! EDIT: I usually forget Hetfield when the "greatest rock singers" threads pop up every so often..but that dude really can really knock me over with that voice. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Analogman Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 This is a nice site: Encyclopaedia Metallum I heard the The Devil You Know the other day. I don't think I will be buying it. My first thought was it sounded like Maiden and a Dio solo album mixed together. Others may like it, It just did not move me. They will never top Heaven and Hell anyhow.

A buddy of mine got it the other day and says it's great. However, he is a Sab nut and won't hear a bad word said about them. He also likes a lot of melodic rock stuff like Mr. Big and Extreme so....

Analogman Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 It just didn't grab me. It sounds nice, but it seems to be a bit polished. I also got the 2 disc War Pigs re-release. It almost sounds like it was re-mixed, and/or it is just near the edge of falling into the loudness wars category. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Calexico Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 and/or it is just near the edge of falling into the loudness wars category. How do you mean? The thing about albums being mixed too loud and the whole Chili Peppers/Californication thing? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 How do you mean? The thing about albums being mixed too loud and the whole Chili Peppers/Californication thing? It's sounds different. You can hear Ozzy's vocal clear as bell in Planet Caravan now. I won't be buying this - as it is an import, and therefore costs a lot, and also, the bonus tracks are a joke. They have given us some of the songs without the vocals, Ozzy making his way through an early Paranoid and Planet Caravan (different words), and a re-mix of Rat Salad. I think it's due to the re-release being a SACD 5.1. I've never heard one of those until now. Paranoid (CD / Audio DVD) [iMPORT] [HYBRID SACD] [DELUXE EDITION] They should give us this sort of thing: Black SabbathJohn Peel's 'Sunday Show' (Radio Session)LondonEngland 01 [06:31] Fairies Wear Boots02 [04:57] Behind the Wall of Sleep03 [07:58] Walpurgis [a.k.a.

mountain bed Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 That sounds odd. I've listened to that LP 1000x and I've never figured out (or even tried to, actually) Ozzy's lyrics on "Planet Caravan" - that's kind of the charm of the song, those vocals that sound like they're underwater or something. My guess is that they ran the vocal mic through a Leslie speaker. That Peel show would be an awesome thing to have. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 I have the Peel show. I am listening to it right now. It's a bit rough, sound wise, but the power is there. The more I think about it, the reason that new Paranoid sounds the way it does, is due to the 5.1 mix. I sort of forgot about that when I was listening to it. You can get it here (the Peel show, that is.) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Analogman Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 That is sort of odd - usually Lars does all the talking. I have always wondered why he tapes his picking hand. I have always thought that their strength was in duel guitar rhythm, instead of solos. This reminds me - Lars is going to be on an episode of That Metal Show this season.

Moss Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 When I Came Down is a cool song. That's just classic Black Sabbath sound right there. Jim Simpson was their manager right? What's he playing on "Thomas Jam"? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
