The one about metal dudes being Gay?

It's called 'Hats off to Halford' and it's about Rob Halford (Judas Priest) coming out.

The lyrics...

When you think of a metalhead, tell me, what comes to mind? Well maybe some stonewashed jeans, a mullet, a guy who's evolutionarily one step behind? When Rob Halford came out of the closet, it may now have been a big thing, but today we're one step closer to hearing metal dudes sing,

"I wanna be, I wanna be a homosexual"

Statistics say, chances of being gay are 1 in 10... So that means there's a 40% chance that one of the guys in Pantera likes men, So I'd say it's safe to say that more metal dudes are homosexual. That may frustrate the gay community, why would they want ugly metalheads available? See! I told you! Metalheads are gay too, and I haven't seen the proof so far that your sexuality determines the way you play guitar, Oooh I'd love for everyone in heavy metal to be homosexual, if not just to make the nazi fucking pricks in Slayer a little uncomfortable.

Taken from the album "Making Love"

Burst - Prey on Life

Honestly, the above is brilliant, and ESSENTIAL for fans of broad minded metal. Featuring ex-members of Nasum, but sound nothing like them. The closest I can say is Mastadon kicking shit outta Radiohead!Gentle acoustics run into pulverising riffs. Beautiful

Burnt By The Sun - The Perfect is the Enemy of the Good = Modern metal at its best.

The Bled - Pass the Flask. Love it. Tuneful, but serrated. For fans of tunes with an edge...

Captain Everything! - my favourite band in the world ever

Ramones - if you haven't heard this band, then you need too. coz their good.

Paint It Black - punk rock 'super group' of sorts. on THUGS soundtrack i believe.

Propagandhi - they play fast and have something to say. used to describe themselves as 'progressive thrash metal'.

How can you sandwich legends like the Ramones between shite like that?

Some I didn't think of earlier:

Tegan & Sara - Everyone should hear 'If It Was You' at least once. I love it :D

cLOUDEAD - For hip hop fans this one. Kinda spacey.

Wolfpack - Pretty hardcore punk stuff.

Buckcherry - Much maligned but pleasing sleazy rawk and roll

Sage Francis - Intelligent wordy hip hop

Gold Chains - Slightly less intelligent and wordy hip hop :D

Overseer - Beefy big beat styled electronica - 'Supermoves' the song at the start of Snatch (after Klint) is them.

Nah it's a different act a'thegither I'm thinking off - they played Leeds last year and I believe they are American - not the Welsh bastard sons of hip hop and sheep that are Goldie Lookin' Chain...

matter of taste, sir.

i don't think the bands listed their are 'shite' as you so constructively put it.

i assume you have listened to enough of their material to make that statement?

If you're in the mood for gentler sounds......

Espers (beautiful, cello-based folk...check out their session on Irene Trudel's page at WFMU)

Jack Rose (for fans of Fahey, Basho etc....he's also in Pelt)

Sharron Kraus (was on Radio Scotland last week - banjo/guitar playing Shirley Collins type stuff)

i reckon:

AFI my fave band at the moment. rockin hardcore punk.

Sick Of It All. also rockin hardcore punk.

Refused. rockin hardcore.................................punk?

Saves the Day. mellow pop rock.

Beastie boys. white boys rapping at their finest.

Slayer. no description needed.

and ovcourse blink-182. my mose favourite band EVER. some people slag them off or whatever which i could sort understand but i disagree with their drivel. blink are very talented songwriters and musicians writing relevant lyrics which most can relate to. thankfully i have not met anyone who wants to "fuck a dog in the ass" yet so its all good.
