Thought this was pretty cool. This just proves us musicians are very open minded when it goes for different genres, talent is talent, period.

She digs Judas Priest

 

@Von_Steyr You always deliver!

 

Level of musical talent level on display in all of those bands is immense.
Some legendary songs there for sure
Had the privilege of seeing both Megadeth & Pantera some time ago live a couple of times and was awesome

 

"Music is the universal language," right?

Jimi Hendrix played on Korean instrument:

Miscellaneous:

. . . and Duke Ellington played by Gypsy street musicians:

 

Cool stuff, bro

 

@Von_Steyr

Cool reaction of them.

You can shock almost everyone with the Priest song, even metal heads.

When I heard the Painkiller song/album for the first time I couldn't believe it (can I today?).
Back in the days I tried to count all the different guitar and vocal tracks - I failed :-(

 

Yea, painkiller was a special experience for me as well. Saw it on Mtv in 96 and was blown away.

 

I was literally raised on Slayer, Megadeth, Exodus, Testament, Metallica, Kreator, Sodom, Destruction, Death Angel, Hirax, Carcass, Napalm Death, Terrorizer, Morbid Angel, Decide, Obituary, !Manowar! through to Wu-Tang Clan and the solo stuff the members did, Nas, Mos Def, A Tribe Called Quest, Cypres Hill, Public Enemy...etc. and the shred beasts like Jason Becker, Paul Gilbert, Joe S and Steve Vai, Marty Friedmann and Jason Becker together we're incredible, So many sick players from that late 80's/early 90's shred fused with classical and plenty of other inspired chops, Alex Scholnik a prime example. I'm a massive fan of James Murphy, He's a DM legend that is sorely underatted, Shame he hasn't had anything stable in his career band wise, Howeve that's the case for plenty of brilliant musicians. So yeah that was my childhood amongst plenty more I won't bore people listing and elaborating on, but to give an idea of what a young me had on cassette and vinyl in many cases.

I didn't keep up with hip-hop, The last hip-hop I liked and one of only few real brother's still around being none other than DMX, I'm just hoping he stays healthy now and doesn't end up buried early like far too many in that area and culture end up, He seems to have pulled himself up and out, The stuff that passes for hip-hop nowadays to me just doesn't come anywhere close to touching anything like say Enter The 36 Chambers or Illmatic, All the rapper's are wearing skirts and dresses...etc. just weird and looks as bad as their music sounds. I'm sure their are some fine talented people but I'm not involved in any hip-hop underground scenes to hear them whereas I am when it comes to metal, So it isn't me taking a jab at hip-hop, Just what is presented from the so-called "popular" mainstream.

Interesting thread and indeed, Greatness always recognizes and acknolwges greatness, At least it should do.

All the best to all as always, Hope you are doing good Von_Steyr my friend, Cheers

Dave has alway took alot of heat for his singing in Megadeth but damn >>> i wana see someone else play those riffs and sing it at the same time any better LMAO! @ Real talk>>> and @Death Thash Doom your list of bands in the begining of your post is my roots too everyone of em \m/

 

@Von_Steyr good post man \m/

 

Yeah continuation of Megadeth theme -> I followed Marty for many years since he was virtually a kid with Jason Becker in Cacophony.
He obviously an insane talent and always was but for any fans definitely check out his newest album and latest releases.
He just seems to get better & better & his song-writing and ability is just plain scary lol

If you've not heard it & like his stuff then give it a listen

 

the tour long long ago where pantera was support for megadeth??

it was my first introduction to pantera... safe to say shit got real and went berzerk! fuck that was awesome beyond believe

 

Yeah that was the one
Was awesome indeed as you said and just so cool to witness two bands like that all at once.
Was real crazy and so memorable

 

Can't give anyone the WINNER sticker cause there's no actual picture of Phil in this thread!

Interesting post, @Von_Steyr!

 

was instantly hooked, but i did loose it after far beyond driven, but me thinks it was the best they had to give that i liked
:edit: holy shit i just realized that that must have been almost 25 years ago... FU now i feel old XD

@digitaldragon here ya go :p

 

I remember when i first heard Pantera`s Cowboys from hell cd, it was like a different world had opened up to me, just the pure energy and the drums, guitar riffs, i couldnt get enough of their stuff.

 

My brain erupted.
Needs a head made of ferrous metal to be secure from its radiation but unfortunately mine is non-ferrous. Are you really enjoying or just pretending?

i think you mean ferocious metal

@Von_Steyr for me it's always been these 2 (at the top that is) as they seem to fit into my life as if written for it

 

There will never be another band like Pantera, the songwriting skills, the energy, amazing guitars/solos and powerful drums/vocals.

 

Sorry, WINNER given for vids of Phil too! Haha!
Cemetary Gates is a badass tune! I really liked Pantera. That high harmonic guitar yank at the end where Phil hits the same note raised hair on my neck when I first heard it.
I really dug the first Down album too. NOLA I think it was.
