Official Heavy/Thrash Metal - Hard Rock Videos Thread

FYI...

As far as I know, metal's birthplace was in the U.S.-with Link Wray being the poppa. :D

Black Dog is actually the name of a village near where I live, drove past the sign to it a thousand times without ever knowing what it was like - curiosity quenched when I dropped off a mate who lives there in August :)

Nowadays I like melodic metal like Disturbed, Killswitch Engage, and stuff like Mastodon, Slayer when I want something heavier, but mostly listen to old stuff anyway :)

Funny story...

I was in the Orlando airport taking a non-stop flight back to Nashville and we were delayed. Well as we were finally called to board like 2 hours late there were a bunch of guys in the music industry that were running behind (they had been at the bar drinking heavily).

So they get there and I ask them which act they are with and they say "Trivium". So I ask what their jobs are thinking that they were the crew. And they said "no, we're the band". ha ha ha.

I told them that they rock and if that they ever need an engineer to mix their shows to let me know.


It was kind of funny. I found out about them while listening to my Sirius Satellite radio.

Quite simply, Link Wray invented the power chord, the major modus operandi of modern rock guitarists. Listen to any of the tracks he recorded between that landmark instrumental in 1958 through his Swan recordings in the early '60s and you'll hear the blueprints for heavy metal, thrash, you name it. Though rock historians always like to draw a nice, clean line between the distorted electric guitar work that fuels early blues records to the late-'60s Hendrix-Clapton-Beck-Page-Townshend mob, with no stops in between, a quick spin of any of the sides Wray recorded during his golden decade punches holes in that theory right quick. If a direct line can be traced forward from a black blues musician crankin' up his amp and playing with a ton of violence and aggression to a young white guy doing a mutated form of same, the line points straight to Link Wray, no contest.
