This Threads All Metal All The Time

Tomahawk - God Hates a Coward

How about some bands that were featured on Metal Blade Records Metal Massacre compilation albums. Until the last album they were all unsigned bands. For example the first album had a cut from the unsigned Metallica (with Dave Mustaine).

Metal Massacre (1982)

Black N Blue - Chains around heaven


I'm shocked I found the next one on Youtube!!!

Bitch - Live for the Whip



Metallica - Hit the lights live 1983 (With Dave)



Here's a band that was on the next one
Metal Massacre II

Overkill - Hello From The Gutter

Janes Addiction - Just Because (Live Letterman 07.22.03)

Cug, that just has to be Dee Snider doesnt it? Or his long lost twin.


How about Blue Cheer, some say the very first 'Metal' band, slightly before Sabbath. Whether you think they were or not they still set the scene for a lot of the bands that followed.


Summertime Blues


Gypsy Ball



Thanks Hellmutt, as usual your taste is impeccable.

Definitely one of the proto-metal songs.

Another contender for the first metal song.

Iron Butterfly - In-a-gadda-da-vida Here's the whole song in 2 clips.


part 2


A case could be made for the Kinks You Really Got Me



I now return you back to some more modern metal.

Van Halen - You Really Got Me

OK that last clip got me surfing Youtube for DLR era Van Halen

Van Halen - Ice Cream Man


Van Halen - Eruption (I get goose pimples every time hear this)


Van Halen - Runnin' With The Devil

Ministry - Lieslieslies (2006)

[RANT]I'm a classic NWOBHM punter, ahhh those were the days if you liked Heavy Metal, you were a Headbanger. Now you have to be into one genre Doom, Death, Black, Hardcore, Thrash, Nu, Power etc etc, what a load of crap. Headbangers have all been sucked in by the record company's and categorised since the ninety's began imo. Anyway's here's to the good days when Headbangers liked Metal. Fullstop.[/RANT]

ATOMKRAFT - SELL IT FAST



Warfare - Military Shadow



Avenger - Revenge Attack!



Grim Reaper - See you in hell



:bnghd::bash:

Personally I think the immortal words of Billy Joel work for me.

"Hot funk, cool punk, even if it's old junk
It's still rock and roll to me"
