The Death of Western Civilzation Part II: Metal's impending funeral.

The log's in need of a boost, and I'm here to deliver but a few drops of pulpit spittle to that very seed in need.

Metal month got me into a mode, and I've mulled over one of my very favourite music genres, one I stress is in dire straights.

This new breed of pseudo metal concerns me, not only for my doomed generation, but also for a piece of that hard action that only spews from hard metal rockin.

Washing my self in early Black Sabbath and shades of Iron Maiden and that dirty little fiend, Dio... I lamented for times I never saw. This new human drama metal is a beeatch, and I'm only finding reward deep in the aged archives.

Bottom line, nobody's rockin about wizards, beasts and devils. These young spuds need to get straight up meta-physical. Or dig a historical jam about the days of yore. Tailgunner rocks my socks off always and forever.

No doubt there are alot of young musicians out there spewing feverish licks from the ax pipe, but smart musicians know how to throw in a killer hook. These chumps lack in the Eddie Van Halen juice, the music juice straight from the gut, oozing through the pores, and right down into the rock. Its soul, baby... and this new breed comes off cheap.

And to my opinion, there's nothing more irritating than cookie monster vocals. Its a stupid grab for pseudointellectualism, a pompous singer keeping the words to himself, and selling grumbled mush for dinner. Take my refund and cram that beeatch up your shitter.

And one other thing, an idea that could perhaps circumvent the doomed fate of METAL. Singers bring it up an octave or two. It would certainly help me the fuck out, because I'm sick of this trend called bass. My bassed out brain could use an Axl or Dickinson on the mic. Believe this.

Word to your drunk ass motha.
