90's metal

[Imgormiel]

Having a Megadeth renaissance night here. From the 90's. Been thinking about being 22 and starting out playing guitar and this band was one of the bands as a musician I admired - being a 80's/90's adult. Looking back I have fond memories. But I can't help but look at it now and think from a playing perspective, this is a piece of shit. It's very easy to play, although I was in awe at the time when trying to play it.

For a starter, and for the general ear. It roxx. Simple metal, not challenging on the ear - although at the time perhaps it wasn't seen that way :x

However, I am on a mission to make late 80/90's metal kewl again. In fact I just did so stfu. Name your bands you admire from this era and why they should be still kewl.

GO FOR IT!

Completely offtopic but about metal. Anyone seen this documentary about Anvil?

BBC iPlayer - Storyville: 2010-2011: Anvil

was on the bbc lately and i thought it was really good. Really endearing and kind of reminded me of Spinal Tap

80s Metallica is still some of the most awesome metal ever made, and nothing they've done since then has changed that.

 

[Tuthmes]

Primus
Pennywise

Hmm. Don't think they ever left so it's not really renessaince

Atleast around here, classics get played as frequently(if not more) then the new shit. It's always kewl, has been will be.

You abandoned them! You turned "Mister Homemaker" on metal

 

[old.Tohtori]

Oh and AC/DC, which is always good for past 5 decades. Mötley crüe, motörhead, manowar, nirvana, nine inch nails, offspring, lenny k, guns 'n roses etc etc.

My favorite album from that era is The Cult - Electric

Download this year had Megadeth, Slash, Billy Idol (not really metal!), Saxon, Motorhead, AC/DC and Aerosmith on the main stage. Pretty good old-school metal line-up. They also had Them Crooked Vultures with John Paul Jones (Led Zep) on bass. I've seen Metallica a couple of times and always wanted to see Pantera, which ain't gonna happen now.

I'm actually getting more and more into modern metal now...I like the mix of screaming and melodic vocals in stuff like Killswitch Engage and Atreyu and the more balls-out stuff like Machine Head and Cancer Bats.

Then again, I found myself singing along to "Sweet About Me" by Gabriella Cilmi the other day...time for some emo-style self-harm, I reckon!
