They're good, better than most in that heavier (Nu Metal) genre. I think there's a new singer so not sure about that part of the equation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never saw this coming, lol they are so much more than just the metal label slapped on them. there's rock in there......blues prog, folk, pop, ballads. and my new favorite rhythm section. Mick Took me until about a decade ago to dive deep enough to realize much of this myself. I only knew the few 'radio' hits, but there's quite a bit of diversity between songs within albums and definitely between albums. The Wizard set it all in motion for me, not a song I heard a lot until it was brought to my attention, and it's pretty kick ass. Opened the door to "Sabbath is more than sludgy doom". 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually from Sabbath bloddy Sabbath on they really try new things. it's eye opening. Mick Edited April 21, 2022 by bluefox4000 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they're labeled as hardcore punk but a lot of the time are more melodic than what that label might make you think. Hatebreed is pretty much what Pantera would sound like if they were a hardcore punk band. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

War Pigs is one of their best known songs and that in no way is a normal composition. Kind of like ZZ Top, Sabbath took the blues and made it heavy. They were originally a blues band anyways. Iommi got in an accident at the factory he was working at and lost the tips on a couple of his fingers. So, he had to tune down the guitar so the vibrations didn't hurt his fingers and that's how we got the Sabbath sound. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heaven and hell sounds like the stuff Dio wound make with uh......Dio . in that it's more straightforward fist pumping rock/metal anthems. Ozzy era had an air of like experimentation which i like a lot. Dio gets in with Heaven and hell. turns it up to 11 and is like. LET'S ROCK YEAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!! lol I like it a lot more cause i'm a Dio mark so,......had dio been the guy all along i think i'd dug Sabbath sooner. believe it or not i thik Ozzy era requires a lot more time and effort. Dio is Dio. and is just a no nonsense balls to the wall true metal vocalist. but they really are different bands you can't compare i think Mick 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully it's not in a crap part of town like the one in Rochester is. But it's Rochester so it's hard to avoid the crappy part of town anyway. The other band on the bill, Hatebreed, is well known for having a non stop pit during their shows. A good portion of these fans will probably be a little older so moshing might not really be too bad. It's not something people in their 40s and 50s will do. We can die in a pit at that age 😆 I love the Main Street Armory. I've only been there a couple times, but I've caught some great shows there. I go to a decent amount of shows in Rochester. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluefox4000 Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 Alice Cooper. this man both with band and solo os fantastic. now i think he was strongest in the 70's. Killer Love it to death Bilion Dollar Babies Muscle of Love Nightmare Ges To hell From The Inside The 80's weren't as kind to him at all aside from Dada which i just played and it is really really good for how messed up he was weird hair pop/metal phase was underwheming to0 (just like all hair metal.......oooooh come at me, lol) 90's comeback era has The Last Temptation which was a nice surprise.......the only thing left to digest is the 2000's to now. either way i love Alice he's so freakin' varied and interesting.

Mick Here's the thing with Cooper's hair metal era, he actually did that style better than most other bands who did it. He did play it safe a bit doing that style but a lot of those songs aren't your generic cock rock that hair metal became so known for. Alice was still twisted with a dark sense of humor during that time. He did get a little too Bon Jovi a handful of times on Trash though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pop/rock schlock king and bon jovi and 80's aerosmith collaborator. and having said that i like some of his stuff. but not on Alice.

Cooper and Desmond Child didn't really mix too well on some of those songs. Jon and Richie co-wrote Hell Is Living Without You with Cooper. He even sings the verses in a very Bon Jovi style. The other three albums from the hair metal era are good though. Hey Stoopid is the best one. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluefox4000 Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 (edited) Alice Cooper. Truth is i never really left him. i've been playing his 2000's/2010's stuff more. it has it's moments (notably Brutal Planet and Dragontown.) but it's a mixed bag. I'm in the minority as i actually quite liked Nightmare 2. it's just the modern production Choices let it down. Also Dada's emerged as one of my favs. still 70's era Alice is far and away best.

Mick Yeah, I think he's been a bit up and down since Dragontown too. I always feel like he puts in the best possible effort he can with each release since then. It's up and down but it never feels like he's slacking off or going through the motions. If that makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that makes sense. Absolutely. Aside from that blackout period. it sounds like he really cares about every release. and it comes through. and i respect that he trired multiple times to re-invent himself. he's never boring that's for sure. also i watched a few concerts on youtube. he puts on a fabulous show. Meat loaf level showman i think. it made me love him more. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
