Search youtube for "Ronnie James Dio - Brutally Honest Tour Bus Interview 1994" (all 4 parts) where he goes through nearly all his records starting from Elf.
Thanks for that, it's an amazing interview. A favourite part is where he accidentally says Ozzy's name and says exasperatedly, "I keep mentioning that jerk-off."

prob should go on the metal thread and ask john, begrand, some of those other guys to do a week for us
― call all destroyer, Thursday, 20 May 2010 13:14 (fourteen years ago) link
i'd like a week sometime in july when my life settles down a bit. i can remind u closer to the date pfunk.
its mordy to ask! I'm just helping him out so it runs smoothly when peoplw know its their turn. and reposting the "rota" every now and again to keep in on the page.but i'll ask on the metal thread if anyone wants a go, good idea!
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Thursday, 20 May 2010 13:18 (fourteen years ago) link
done. (will probably either be ignored or it will be posts that listening clubs are pointless but oh well)

I gotta be honest with you and I know some of you will find this precious or bigheaded ok but metal thread people are my people so I'm gonna shoot straight. part of the reason I haven't joined in is that lately whenever I say something on ilx that strikes somebody as quotable, people have been tweeting & retweeting it under my name-name. that skeeves me out. I'm here to hang out with buds, not Speak, O Very-Mildly-Known Dude, For The Record. So if I pick albums, lurker-nerds will be all "Here Are The Three Albums Underrated Aerosmith Recommends!" and I will be bummed. this is partly why I keep asking people, with partial success, to call me aerosmith. I don't wanna have a whole argument about whether I should be skeeved or not about ppl tweeting my posts but I'm just saying, that is why I'm holding back on the listening club metal thread.

people can be arseholes. aerosmithy (im gonna call you aerosmithy or smithy until you join in) you should join in and lurkers stop doing shit to join him, he's here to chat with friends, dont tweet him or anyone else!
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Thursday, 20 May 2010 14:58 (fourteen years ago) link
I don't know what trick people are using to identify who's posting under what pseudonym this week, but it took me a while to even figure out who "aerosmith" was - finally something in your prose style clicked, though.

I did week 3 - Amon Amarth, GridLink and Manowar.
― Born In A Test Tube, Raised In A Cage (unperson), Thursday, 20 May 2010 15:22 (fourteen years ago) link
yeah but you want another at some point? Once noone else wants a shot it will go round again i would think.
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Thursday, 20 May 2010 15:25 (fourteen years ago) link
Hey, kerr, upcoming looks good to me. Aerosmith-dude, I have no idea who you are IRL, but that's lame that you've got ILX stalkers. I wish metal club could be your safe haven, but I don't know any way to do that.
― Mordy, Thursday, 20 May 2010 16:15 (fourteen years ago) link
uaaihl, i totally get yr position. i would just like to say to you and some of the other guys, as someone who has listened to exponentially less metal than yall, this thread has been a great way to get exposed to stuff i never would have gravitated to on my own. i have mad respect for the taste of just about everyone who posts in rolling metal, and it'd be a shame to me personally if everyone didn't take a turn here at least once.
and if there are actually lurkers retweeting stuff posted on this board, let me be really real: i pity you.
― call all destroyer, Thursday, 20 May 2010 16:28 (fourteen years ago) link
Fuck Twitter and the behaviors it engenders. You'll always be nothing but underrated aerosmith to me!

Asked this in the RIP Dio thread but since y'all are listening to Holy Diver it's worth asking here:
I've obv been listening to a lot of Dio the past few days and honestly can't decide if Viv Campbell is an underrated monster or just a cut-rate randy rhoads. thoughts? is there any conventional wisdom on this?

― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Thursday, 20 May 2010 19:51 (fourteen years ago) link
it's ok let's not overstate the problem either like I said I don't want to make a big deal about it, just explaining myself is all.
Viv Campbell is fucking awesome & lends credence to the idea that RR wasn't a phenomenon so much as a particularly good exponent of a style that was kind of in the air among people who liked heavy music

anyone else listen to both holy diver and the last in line this week? curious which one y'all prefer.
I was already pretty familiar holy diver and had never listened to the last in line (outside a few cuts) before. not sure which one I'd give the edge. the highs seem higher on holy diver. "holy diver," "don't talk to strangers," "rainbow in the dark," and (motherfukkin') "stand up and shout" are all killer! but that could be familiarity speaking.
but on my first listen, I found the last in line to be a more consistent record. and the title cut may even be my favorite dio track of all.
― original bgm, Thursday, 20 May 2010 19:54 (fourteen years ago) link
the last in line seems to go a bit farther w/the pop hooks too. which, generally speaking, is what I want from dio (the band). listening again and I might give this one the edge.
― original bgm, Thursday, 20 May 2010 19:55 (fourteen years ago) link
I'm a last in line partisan particularly because of how incredible the title track is. that crashing opening (the vibe of which essentially invents Amon Amarth imo), the vocal performance Dio turns in, the melody of the bridge - and the note he hits on the "oh-ohhhh," not the 2nd longer note but the first one, it's a minor third I think but it's got a little note of dissonance - there's just such a feeling to that song. the kind of thing that makes you like horror movies & ray harryhausen. "we're off to the witch/we may never never never come home" is like a gauntlet-throwing song-opening lyrically, and then the song delivers. epic in feel, compact in construction. much of what's good about this style of music is present in that song. it is the full jam.

I mean really both amorphis and latter katatonia and opeth can all doff their caps to the last in line - it charts a course.
