I always preferred Pearl Jam and Soungarden (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u00z0yDEGsU&mode=related&search=) to Metallica, and think the difference is that the former are really grunge, while Metallica is more in the Metal tradition of, say, Motorhead (remember “Orgasmatron”).

The best grunge metal song for mine though is Ministry’s classic “Jesus Built My Hotrod”! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3RBKTo5K14M)

My music collection ranges from Bach to Black Sabbath.

I bought a 2 CD best of Black Sabbath compilation a couple of months back. I’m pissed off because it doesn’t have Sabbra Cadabra on it.

Never got into Metallica though. Sorry.

‘War Pigs’, ‘Paranoid’,'NIB’ etc. All great classic metal.

An aside, Hendrix also included the diabolus in musica on ‘Purple Haze’ but Sabbath did it with more eeevilll.

Yair I must admit the Sabbath were always pretty classic heavy metal to me, Shaun. Mind you, I’m happy to admit I know squat about music, but I do know what I like, and have some sense of its history/origins etc.

Whiles blue influenced (and he paid his sues on the Chitlin’ circuit) Hendrix was a not a blues guitarist though he sure could lay down a fine 12 bar. Neither was he a heavy metal guitarist as such a narrow definition overlooks the scope of his work.

I’ll agree with Homer than Led Zeppelin and Deel Purple were not a heavy metal band but I’ll have to include Sabbath in there. After all, the Sabbath used the diabolus in musica, the ultimate heavy metal interval, for their eponymous song.

I have seen Jason’s other YouTube’s if that wasn’t clear.

Oh and Meatloaf with an orchestra. That would be subtle, wouldn’t it?

My home computer is so in need of an update that Ã can’t actually watch YouTube on it.

I’m sure it’s a lovely video or as Dame Edna would say, “a nice night’s entertainment”.

“Welcome to the Jungle” is the best Guns and/or Roses track.

Wouldn’t one call Hendrix a rock/blues guitarist?

I think “Bring Back” is being harsh, but I must say I prefer Jason’s Lucinda Williams, Beth Orton etc etc So much easier on the ears. However, I’d love to see Helen at a heavy metal gig waving those cornrows around.

(I do access the YouTube’s elsewhere so I have seen them).

Neither Deep Purple, Black Sabbath or Led Zeppelin who I saw I think at the showground were heavy metal they were heavy rock. In a some cases sometimes a louder form of blues

Heavy ‘metal’ comes around a generation later when taste had been extinguished.
