For all of the Dime Bag Darryl fans.....

I cannot wrap my mind around the fact that fifteen years have passed. RIP Dime.

First music videos can remember being produced were of Rickey Nelson--Ozzie and Harriet,The Nelson's--back in the late '50s and early '60s and then by the The Dave Clark Five to fulfill an appearance on Ed Sullivan Show due to tour date scheduling problem.

Just saw this thread. Liked every video that I recognized and loved.

Can't believe the video that started or did not get a mention. On my phone so come inbed to link

Today is the thirty-six year anniversary of my favorite album by my favorite band. Still years ahead of it's time.









I am the beat of your pulse
The computer word made flesh
We are one, you and I
We are versions of the same
When you can see what I feel
Don't turn your back on me
Or you might find that your dreams
Are only program cards
Your mind is open for me
(Open for intake of all propaganda)
Your eyes see now what to see
(My eyes see only the programs you give me)

I'll teach you to laugh and to cry
They're really the same
You'll see all the why's in your life
Are under my control
Feed me more lines
I will try to tell you all I can
Before the light you must know what lies
Behind my screams

I can't tell you all I know
(Am I the son that you've always been wanting)
There's more to me than what shows
(Are you my father; the one that was promised?)

Hush now
(I'm not your slave)
I'll give all you need to know
(Please don't keep me from dreaming)
And pre-live your dreams for you
(I'm not your slave, you can't keep me from learning)
You're a good boy
(Got to tell)

Freedom
(I'm not your slave)
Belongs only to those
(Someone please hear me; you can't keep me from dreaming)
Without video screens
(I'm not your slave you can't keep me from learning)
For eyes and mouth

You have no mouth
To speak with my son, besides
No one can hear when you're
Screaming in Digital

I think Rage for Order is the only one I don't have.

I should go grab that.

Rage definitely set them apart. At a time when hairspray was clogging the airwaves, they totally distanced themselves from "party metal". Futuristic soundscapes, complex arrangements and dystopian lyrical themes are parts of what dubbed them "the thinking man's metal band". A great precursor to the rock/metal opera -- Operation: Mindcrime.

re: Queensryche -

I really liked their first 4. They lost me after Mindcrime.

I'd forgotten about this thread. As far as early 80's videos go, I remember this one (sappy, but I liked the song):

It has to be a special track to make it to my ultimate list... Funeral Music... as in, music to die for.

Only The Lonely has always been there. Martha Davis' voice cuts through my soul in almost every line.

re: Queensryche, that's were most fans fell off. I think Empire was a little to commercial for many. If they made it past Empire, they were probably alienated by Promised Land... that was a definite departure from anything "Metal".

Great video!

I guess if I were to pick something that unites us all as humans, music would be at the top of the list.

Two of my favorites

This guy has been releasing music in album form since 1970. He and Black Sabbath gave birth to metal. And at 73 years old he's still putting out great music. He's never stopped. Here is his latest single release....



Patient Number 9

Every hallway's painted white as the light
That will guide you to your help
Making friends with strangers inside my mind
'Cause they seem to know me well
Hiding the pills inside your mouth
Swallow 'em down then spit them out
I hear the laughter scream and shout
No tomorrow

When they call your name, better run and hide
Tell you you're insane. you believe their lies
(Ooh) I'm not getting out, no I'm not getting out alive
(Ooh) I'm not getting out, 'cause I'm patient number 9

When the sun goes down, the animals cry
That's a sound you won't forget
It's the mirror's face you don't recognize
It'll get you in the end
Hiding the pills inside your mouth
Swallow 'em down then spit them out
I hear the laughter scream and shout
Someone help me

When they call your name, better run and hide
Tell you you're insane. you believe their lies
(Ooh) I'm not getting out, no I'm not getting out alive
(Ooh) I'm not getting out, 'cause I'm patient number 9

When the walls of a padded cell become reality
How many tears 'til I drown myself 'cause no one cries for me?
If there's a God, why'd he let the devil do his work on me? Oh, yeah
If there's a God, what am I doing here?

When they call your name, better run and hide
Tell you you're insane. you believe their lies
(Ooh) I'm not getting out, no I'm not getting out alive
(Ooh) I'm not getting out, 'cause I'm patient number 9

Ozzy was my gateway drug. Started listening to him the summer before high school. Pretty soon there was Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Queensryche, etc.

I don't think he's ever put out a bad album. He's had some of the greatest guitarists in the world standing next to him on stage as well. There is no greater honor in hard rock than getting an invite to play guitar with Ozzy.



You sent me down the Ozzy wormhole and I found this. (At least check the 3:00 mark, iconic moment for any Ozzy fan and the kid shreds the solo!)

Ozzy: "Can you play Crazy Train?"
Kid: "Hold my milk..."

I'm quite an bit older than you I believe. The first album I ever bought was Sabbath Bloody Sabbath. Oh yeah, my dad was thrilled! lol I saw him not long after that with Sabbath and saw him on both the Blizzard tour and again on the Diary tour. Randy Rhoads mingling of classic guitar style riifs converted into metal I found amazing. And at his age I still wonder just how great he could have become.

I'm a big Zakk Wylde fan as well. But I think his talent shines more with his band BLS more than it did with Ozzy.



R.I.P Dimebag Darrell



I have never sang in a band that played in stadiums. Mostly in bars and as back up bands in auditorium style venues. And one thing I think I have in common or at least understand that I think Ozzy too came to understand is this. There's a certain connection between a singer and his lead guitar player. A certain musical chemistry so to speak. At least that has been my experience. That magical connection between Ozzy and Randy was one such example. They brought out the very best in one another and the music they performed together proved it. I had actually seen nothing like that before then or since. But I do understand how that feels.

I never really cared for Heavy Metal, but I loved Black Sabbath. Probably because of their roots having ties to the blues.

Love the crowd in this one.

Just old enough to have missed the opportunity to see Randy. 🤬 I'm 55.

Zakk is not a guitar god... he is thee guitar god. I'm not saying he's the goat; I'm saying cast the mold in his likeness, inject his DNA, and you can do no better. Dude eats, sleeps (literally usually sleeps with his guitar lol), drinks and bleeds six-string sorcery. Love Black Label Society.


We were all amped to see the No Rest for the Wicked tour... Already blown away with his work on the album, the talk was "yeah, let's pump the brakes 'til we see what he does with Randy's stuff on stage". Hell, even Jake E Lee's shoes were tough to fill.

That was one of the first concerts I can remember that people seemed to be absolutely mesmerized. During his solo (with plenty of little forays into some of Randy's stuff) people were just looking around with their mouths gaping open. Unspoken, yet screaming, "can you @#$@ing believe what we're watching!" I'll never forget that day and that feeling. And yes, as far as that synergy with singer, it was always there between Zakk and Ozzy... even when that "kid" jumped on stage for the first time. And Zakk admires Ozzy like a son would a father -- he'll never leave his side.



This is on the mellow side, but one of my all-time favorites. It dropped around a time that a bunch of "darkness" entered my life. Life went from top of the world to WTF next. That's the magical part of music... there's usually a time and place attached to the first time you fall in love with a song, album or artist. This made me refocus on what was important in life.




Living, fighting, obsessing
Just as long as I can share it all with you
Yesterday, today, tomorrow, come rain, come shine
Hell and back, the beginning, inbetween, till the end of time
All that shines turns to rust
All that stands in time
Turns to dust
As above, so below
You ain't no fool and honey, I'm damn sure that you know
Yesterday, today, tomorrow, come rain, come shine
Hell and back, the beginning, inbetween, till the end of time
All that shines turns to rust
All that stands in time
Turns to dust

Hard to deny Sabbath... well, I'll put it this way... if anyone thinks nearly every "rock" band doesn't have some connection to Sabbath, they're in denial.


Now, imagine a thirty year rift in the universe and the young pups in Sabbath travel through time to jump on stage in the year 2000.

This is what their music would sound like... one of my "newer" favorites...

Sticking with music videos. Michael and Janet Jackson always had rememberable videos. Growing up the Rhythm Nation video always stuck in my mind. Between the dancing and filmed in black and white, such a awesome video. A couple others to name: Janes Addiction - Been caught stealing and Tom Petty - Last dance with Mary Jane will always stick out in my mind.
The Gorillaz had a couple really cool videos (Clint Eastwood, Feel Good Inc., and 19-2000 was more upbeat video) too.

A couple I’ll post. Weapon of Choice by Fatboy Slim was great. Christopher Walken was almost always, if not always the bad guy in some big films. So seeing this for the first time was hilarious and surprising to me.



The second video, when I was a kid made me laugh and thought it was clever. Still makes me smile watching it now.

I was thinking of posting that earlier. It's weirdly entertaining.

That’s a good way to describe it. That’s probably why Janes Addiction stood out too

Thanks YTown n Clem for sending me down this path today...lol

This came across my youtube feed a few days ago. For any other metalheads out there, this rocks real hard:

Thanks for that.

Halford is a freak. He'll be 108 years old, still watching jaws drop in the audience. \m/

Alright, we've reached the witching hour, Saturday night, Headbanger's Ball...

Best hair in the history of hair metal?... 1:43... How does he do that?? lol.

Great track by a great band.

Awesome. I still love Judas Priest. I thought they'd crumble when KK Downing left and Glenn Tipton was stricken with Parkinson's disease.......but Ritchie Faulkner slid right in and gave the band a jolt of new life...they couln't have found a more perfect guitar player. The music they've written in the Faulkner era is really good. Tipton still gets on stage for encores at times. Here's a vid from 2016, Tipton still in the band but obviously affected by the Parkinson's. Halford is Halford:
