MSG - Cry For the Nations, Into the Arena, Victim of Illusion.

UFO/Michael Schenker - Lights Out

(IMHO, the live versions of "Lights Out" were better).

EDIT:  Fifth Angel did a cool heavier cover version of "Lights Out".

Blue Oyster Cult - Godzilla, Black Blade (it's about Elric, for God's sake!)

Quote from: ColonelHardisson;397891Blue Oyster Cult - Godzilla, Black Blade (it's about Elric, for God's sake!)

Heard that Moorcock actually wrote the lyrics to some Blue Oyster Cult songs.

I was more into Blue Oyster Cult's "wimpy" stuff, like "Burning For You" and "Don't Fear the Reaper".

Quote from: ggroy;397892Heard that Moorcock actually wrote the lyrics to some Blue Oyster Cult songs.

He co-wrote a few with Eric Bloom, including "Black Blade." The sound may not be very "metal" these days, but the lyrics still are.

This very much changes with the times.

What use to be considered "very metal" back 20 or 30+ years ago, would probably be considered "classic rock" today.

No idea how one would define "metal" music these days.

I turn on the radio to a local "modern rock" station, where most of the songs sound like "metal" bands with better singing and bettering recording.  (At least to my ears).

Sure. There was a time when BOC was considered among the hardest of the hard when it came to rock. Matter of fact, it was one of the first bands I ever heard the term "heavy metal" applied to, way back when I was a kid (30+ years ago). Now, of course, modern metal fans would laugh at the notion of BOC as metal.

Yeah, it's kind of a nebulous term now. I flip around satellite radio, between stations dedicated, respectively, to Classic Rock, Alternative, and Metal, and there is quite a variety of what is and isn't considered metal, and the classification varies depending on who you talk to.

I can relate.  When I was a kid, the first "heavy" sounding record I ever heard was KISS' "Destroyer".  At the time, I thought it was the heaviest record in the world, such as songs like "King of the Night Time World" and "God of Thunder".

The other stuff on the radio at the time, sounded quite "light" in comparison to Destroyer.

As an example, a few days ago I was listening to the radio in the car, and heard what I thought was a "metal" sounding cover version of the George Michael (WHAM!) song "Careless Whisper".  (A heavily distorted guitar played all the saxophone parts correctly).

It turns out the band (Seether) that did the "Careless Whisper" cover, don't seem to consider themselves a "metal" band.

Blue Oyster Cult, all the way. Used to start my last Gamma World game with Sole Survivor and Veteran of the Psychic Wars. When we switched over to Mekton II, it was Godzilla as the theme song.

Of course, there is always the nifty Dragula by Rob Zombie done to Neon Genesis Evangelion....



EDIT: And to think I almost forgot the Lenin UFO Zombie Apocalypse of Metallica's All Nightmare Long....
