Fun Stuff > BAND
What's your favourite Speed Metal band?
beat mouse:
when i think speed metal i think of strapping young lad.
stratovarius are symphonic power metal, to pull a new obscure genre word into the thread.
Borondir:
Symphonic Power metal is not just another obscure genre...its just a well recognized sub-genre.
Its what happened when Blind Guardian added keyboards...(I realise that's a gross oversimplification :) )
Of course all these genres are just ways of describing music, it's not like they are concrete definitions.
This is something I must constantly remind myself of.

--- Quote ---speed metal is really all about tapping solos and whammy bars pulled back so far you break all your strings every song.
Even the bassists ones.

YES!
Also, I was thinking of earlier Priest. I haven't really heard the later stuff. There was a period where I really enjoyed the more mainstream bands. As it is, KISS is still one of my favourite bands. I just can't bring myself to listen to them anymore. It's just too much fun to say a band's name and have no one know what you're talking about. Then again, I'm a freak.
On another topic, has anyone ever seen any of the Bing Crosby Christmas Specials? There was one that featured David Bowie. Imagine David Bowie standing next to Bing Crosby, as the 8 billionth member of the rat pack.
Bastardous Bassist:
Jason Becker. He did "Speed Metal Symphony," which has speed metal in the fucking name! Marty Friedman was also involved, but I think he was older than 17, which was how old Becker was at the time. Imagine if he were still playing today.

This makes me want to cry.
Also: Rob Halford sang in Black Sabbath for a while, guys.
And as for stupid genres, Rhapsody is known as Epic Hollywood Metal.
