Herm, you dont like Rush, but you like Pearl Jam?????

yup

my ballot is pretty false, but even I couldn't bring myself to vote for Pearl Jam (only grunge on it is Soundgarden). so far Presence and Bad Reputation are the only things from it that have shown up.

I didn't vote for them either

ughh

Best thing nin did

yep.

Giving that Saxon album a listen. Stand Up and Be Counted is great!

i felt like playing that nin for the first time in years but i cant find my cd and its not on spotify

Okay, someone on this thread is bound to know this- what band other than Saxon did a song called (or prominently featuring the lyrics) "Stand up and be counted"? I get the feeling it might have been Venom...?

definitely not goth
definitely not metal
no no, none of those

solid!

Goth.

youre not allowed to call them goth you must honour the flame

I remember the days you couldnt mention this band around here without getting lit on fire

the FIRE!!!!!! HONOR THE FIRE!!!!!!!

Vitalogy has two of my favourite Pearl Jam songs on it: Corduroy and Immortality.

no no no, you cant say that version, its on his radar

you need to disguise it like i did

^title track on this is probably seriously underrated. Also, Underwater Love.

The Real Thing reminds me of a really good summer, going over my friend's house every afternoon to watch Totally Pauly on MTV, making shit in the kitchen while her mom was at work, and skating in the back yard (which was mostly concrete for some reason).

why were you shitting in her kitchen? Did mtv play some death metal and you just did it?

Involuntarily

Kerr makes the joeks so I don't have to

dans gutted i posted first

Making shit vs. taking a shit = an oceanic divide?

depends on how big your shit was

were you baking it, johnny?

dans gutted i posted first

haha maaaaaaybe a little

still JF, dude; not cool to shit in yr friend's kitchen

Anyway, to clarify, we experimented with cooking while listening to The Real Thing (and Mother's Milk) a lot that summer. None of it was really good, but it was all fattening.

I'll leave the breast milk joke to dan this time

nah, it's not as good a setup as "making shit in the kitchen"

I used to own The Real Thing, but only listened to Falling to Pieces and Epic (which still has massive pwnage)

xp yeah, not much joeks to be made about listening to breast milk. amirite.

oh dan can

Girlschool played here a few years back I think before key member Kelly Johnson died. I'm sorry I missed 'em. Great album. Bad Reputation might be my 2nd fave Thin Lizzy after Black Rose, so it should be higher. Judas Priest Stained Class might be their second best one, so I'm surprised to see it so low. Thumbs up to Ghost Reveries, Killer, I Against I, In Rock, Spine of God, Sin After Sin, Conference, Wheels of Steel, Killing Joke. I like the guitar playing on Presence. I think it was MOJO that had a great story about 4-6 years ago, reassessing Presence and talking about what the band was going through at the time (Plant had a child die I believe).

Is it maybe pointless to talk about "false metal" in a poll that includes all things heavy rock, where people had the opportunity to veto stuff?

kind of want to repost this every 5 posts

anything that promotes discussion

and as long as its in good humour

the people who really do believe in the false metal stuff refuse to vote in polls and wont read this thread

next ones for johnny
