I think Appice was OK (not anything great) in the early 80s. His work with Dio solo stands out to me as his best work. But he basically has little feel or groove. And these days it's only got worse...

With Ozzy: Into the Void

With Dio: After All

With Ian Gillan: Zero the Hero

I think they would be amazing with Dave Turncrantz. In fact, I'd love nothing more than hearing this guy on every project involving Iommi and Butler.

Man, there are really some close-minded indiiduals :(

The elements of Gillan's singing on Zero The Hero DO qualify as rap, haters choke on it :laugh:

It has a mostly spoken quality due to...

Tool is a really cool band and I liken them to early Sabbath as far as their attitude is concerned. This is a band that absolutely ignored conventions of their time and forged their way ahead with...

I was enthusiastic until he said it would feature Clark Brown again. He said it in a "I don't give a shit who sings" way too.

That's really too bad :frown:

Radio City Hall was recorded not long after the gig in Montreal, which I attended and consider one of the best concert I've ever attended in my life. It was so intense and surprisingly powerful. Of...

It's been a year and it still sounds generic and slightly uninspired. The drumming is godawful, the sense of adventure of the Sabbath of old is mostly gone. It all sounds terribly formulaic. There...

So was Ozzy, so they must have gotten along pretty well :cool:

I like these polls because they are clearly labelled "favorite" and not "best" :)

Although there are better singers than him on the poll, I went with Rob Halford. He's the guy who gave me the...

For those who insist putrid, effeminate songs like "It Feels Good To Me" are proper Black Sabbath tracks because "it says so right there on the cover sleeve" I have to ask one last question...
...

This stuff absolutely kicks ass! Thanks for making me discover this, Ironsabb!

Can't speak for anybody else but I wouldn't.

Obviously, it matters to a certain extent, hence why hundreds of bands have fought over who should own and control the "name" (brand).

I'm like many, I guess. It wasn't a genre and style I appreciated but Skid Row was better at it (or more tolerable :grin: ) than many of their peers.

Their secret? It's pretty much like any...

I think Never Say Die should have been the last.

It's got nothing to do with the quality of the other albums. Just a matter of properly identifying each era and lineup.

I don't know if the members of Coven are really mad (the myspace you originally linked too is down) but I remember being really stunned by the similarities between the two bands myself. Some of them...

I opted in for every genre.

I gotta admit most folk and jazz music makes me want to puke but certain artists are nice to hear.

I'm more a fan of artists than genres.

Oh, another awesome thread, this time from the past :horns:

1. Tipton/Downing (Priest)
2. King/Hanneman (Slayer)
3. Peterson/Skolnick (Testament)
4. Hansen/Weikath (Helloween)
5. Murray/Smith...

One thing about Thrash, it was (in my very humble opinion) the last metal style to feature vocalists exploring their own individual style within a genre. That is, you don't need to be familiar with...

I stopped singing in 98, due to health issues. At the time, we were doing what I call aggressive/melodic metal. Thrashy with clean vocals. I don't have a comparative but I suppose it could have fit...

Always had a love/hate relationship with the band. I still remember being an impressionable teenager in the record store and finding the March of the Saint record on the promo rack with my friends. ...

The only album by Helstar I ever heard was Remnants of War. Took a chance buying it used but it never grew on me. Maybe I should try something else?

Never heard Heathen but I'm trying it as I...

I discovered in the 90s through Twisted Into Form and was stunned. I immediately wondered why they weren't established. I bought the first three albums and abot a year later, they released Green and...

Funny story: Cryptopsy indirectly destroyed one of my bands back in the days. I hooked up with that guitarist and pretty soon, we had two guitarists, a bassist and a singer. All that was left was to...
