Rugeley Villa Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 Anyone familiar with uriah heep demons and wizard album? Must say its one of my favourite albums and at no point during the album do I need to press the skip button, great 70s rock album, I like heep a lot, like deep purple they use the organ to the extreme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 (edited) New Order > Joy Division. No how can you say that. New Order = Joy Division without the lyrics. If Curtis hadn't of killed himself who knows what direction the group would have gone. The film control is possibly the best singer/band movie of all time. Sam Riley did a pretty good job as Ian Curtis Edited June 3, 2013 by PaulC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8pints Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 (edited) Since one of my very favourite artists died in 1949 so is shockingly ( ) disqualified from this poll I'm putting two more by him in here on behalf of rebellion. Arguably two songs made famous by others. Plus, I have now decided to be the representative for 30s/40s music in this poll Since The White Stripes are one of my favourite recent(ish) bands. Here is Jack White's favourite song (Which is also one of mine) Here he is saying it (From the documentary 'It may get loud' which I would recommend to people to watch if you haven't, it's about the electric guitar, honestly it is interesting well I thought so anyway) Edited June 3, 2013 by 8pints Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must say its one of my favourite albums and at no point during the album do I need to press the skip button, great 70s rock album, I like heep a lot, like deep purple they use the organ to the extreme Of course. Wouldn't say it's one of my favourites - metal isn't my favourite music, and Heep aren't even my favourite metal band - but it has its place in my collection. Funnily enough I played it a couple of weeks ago, for the first time in many years. And a "seconded" for 8pints' recommendation of "It Might Get Loud". Although I feel duty bound to quote my daughter's brilliantly succinct summary of it: Jimmy Page: "Son House!" Jack White: "Yeah! Son House!" The Edge: "Erm... I've got this pedal..." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyblade Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 I'm starting to think 90's now. It's got the golden age of hip-hop, and the real solidification of shoegaze, black metal and death metal. Pretty much 4 of my top 5/6 subgenres/genres had their most important period in the 90's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel heep are more heavy rock than metal well its how I see them anyway, I must admit I ay a huge metal fan and metallica are the only real metal band I really like, I don't class sabbath(my fav band) as metal, so many great rock albums from the 70s, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyblade Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Sabbath are the definition of metal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmooney Posted June 3, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted June 3, 2013 See elsewhere on VT for my irritation with genre (and sub-genre) nitpicking. Zep, Sabbath, Purple and Heep were what passed for metal "back then". I enjoyed it in occasional small doses as part of a balanced musical diet. Still do, I suppose. The later stuff (various forms of [prefix]-metal) doesn't really interest me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rugeley Villa Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Sabbath are the definition of metal. they are definately the band who influenced metal and made it what it was, they also had the metal imagery, I just don't think you can just say sabbath are just a metal band, ye they had metal moments but I think they were a band on their own in their own genre, they even had elements of jazz in the early years along with blues, sabbath was a sound, you hear so many people say the “sabbath sound“ as deep purple influenced speed metal sabbath was more the doomy stoner kind of metal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For their time, they were definitely metal as Mike said. The later stuff (various forms of [prefix]-metal) doesn't really interest me. Aww come on, not even post-apocalyptic neoprog shadowcore ice metal? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dont_do_it_doug. Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 (edited) New Order > Joy Division. No how can you say that. New Order = Joy Division without the lyrics. If Curtis hadn't of killed himself who knows what direction the group would have gone. The film control is possibly the best singer/band movie of all time. Sam Riley did a pretty good job as Ian Curtis Not at all. Whilst musically they retain the ethos of Joy Division in a practical sense they sound completely different. They're Joy Division evolved. Horses for courses, I like both. edit - Yes, it's a marvelous film. One for another thread I guess but I'd recommend it to anyone who hasn't seen it. Riley nails it.

dont_do_it_doug. Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 New Order > Joy Division. This. But in reverse. It's a rare day we disagree on anything arty farty but thanks to your eztv tip off I'm willing to let this one slide. Don't let it happen again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xann Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 ...Sam Riley... Sam used to be in a band from Leeds called 10,000 things. Spent a couple of days with them recording an album in a studio in Wandsworth a few years back. They were great fun, we ended up going to a ridiculously posh party up West in their battered tour bus. Didn't find out about the 'Control' thing til a couple of years ago when I asked the engineer what had become of the band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmooney Posted June 3, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted June 3, 2013 ...Sam Riley... Sam used to be in a band from Leeds called 10,000 things... Never heard of 'em! Next Big Thing from Leeds are probably The Dunwells. Fairly unimaginative US-radio-friendly dadrock, but a nice bunch of lads (went to the same school as my kids).

Xann Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 is them, the track is from the Wandsworth session. The hub of their activity in Leeds was based around a music pub, IIRC it was the something Rose or the Rose something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The hub of their activity in Leeds was based around a music pub, IIRC it was the something Rose or the Rose something? I quite like that. Dunno what the pub is though. There's a "Stone Roses Bar" (original, eh?) And The Yorkshire Rose (just down the road from me in Guiseley) has occasional gigs, but I can't see it being hip enough.

Xann Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Can't really remember mate, this was 7 or 8 years ago, never went there myself. I quite like that. I've got a rough mix of the album somewhere. I'll send you a copy - after you've burned the Honeybus perhaps? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't get me wrong I remain a fan of new order. Ceremony and temptation are my two fav tracks. I think that lacked a frontman. Summers is no Curtis but heck they enjoyed much greater success as new order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
