Does every metal band (of some notoriety) use click track when playing live now?

I'm pretty sure Iron Maiden don't (at least not through entire songs). I think they use a metronome or something to ensure they start in the right tempo.

I thought the same thing when I first read that but I think what he's saying is that Maiden only uses a click/metronome of some sort to count in before just freeballing the song. I don't know if that's actually true but that's how I interpret the post.

Is Iron Maiden's song Fates Warning a reference to the band Fates Warning? I mean, it must be? Unless they're both referencing some third thing.

Why is it so hard to find the first Diamond Head album online to listen to? I found it on archives.com but it isn't on Spotify nor YouTube, I don't know why the most famous album of the band isn't available on any site, also the re-recorded version that is available is awful and it doesn't have anything to do with classic NWOBHM release.

Maybe the existence of the band made it seem more metal somehow, but I think it's just a catchy title for a song about being warned by fate. The phrase "fate's warning" shows up on Google Books in a bunch of poems etc. and I think it's just natural wording to use when describing fate as an entity performing actions.

It's there on Spotify, just with new, godawful artwork. At least for me. There might be regional differences.

That's the 2021 remastered deluxe version, including "lost original mixes" and bonus tracks. If this link works then it should probably be available for you, but it might be region locked.

Thanks man, yeah that's the album, that awful cover of the remaster that looks like a Disturbed album hide it from me lmao. I don't know what's with these guys, they fucking hate their own original artwork.

What makes it weird though is that they are both written without the apostrophe.

What's the most accessible metal band with harsh vocals for non-metal people? I came to this question cause I remember one friend who liked a couple of metal songs; One, The Trooper, Iron Man, you know, the usual suspects, but also liking a bunch of Amon Amarth songs, he said the vocals didn't bother him at all.

I was thinking recently about the band Corrosion of Conformity. I like their 80s hardcore stuff (especially Technocracy[/i, but it was the southern rockish kind of stuff, [i]Wiseblod especially, that kind of first got me to take notice when it came out in the 90s. I really dig that album and some of the later stuff too, but one album I finally decided I just don't like very much is Blind, the one that emerged after the band went dormant for a few years, got a new singer and basically did a complete style change, the likes of which most other bands, even, say, metallica, did quite gradually. Now I know Blind has its fans and all, and that's great, but seriously, was anyone following the band in the late 80s/early 90s really annoyed with this album? It's like a crappy also-ran grunge record...not very "rootsy" like Wiseblood, kind of generic early 90s, sort of competent but pretty nondescript singer. I mean, did fans of the band in 1992 think this an ungodly sellout or what?

I like both, but Corrosion of Conformity is what it is thanks to Pepper Keenan and Deliverance, the song that I like the most in Blind, is Vote with a Bullet, which is also the first one that Pepper sings in the band. I like their hardcore/thrashcore style of the first albums, but they became legends after playing stoner metal, and perfectly captured the Louisiana, New Orleans sounds of the swamp and weed. I had the luck of seeing them live once and Pepper is an amazing frontman, the bluesy style of the songs is perfect live, and they play long cool improvisations in all their repertory.

I would actually love to know how prevalent this is. I have to assume it's pretty uncommon for underground bands (apart from maybe tech death) but then increases in use the bigger and bigger venues bands are playing?

Does anyone else find it pretty odd that there's not a single metal MA band in Nigeria in 2024? I mean, we're talking about the sixth most populated country in the world, and will probably surpass the US in like two decades or so.

The original album didn't even have artwork when it was released, and it's hard to blame them when this sequence of cover arts was as good as it got before 2011.

Can someone give me some examples of "bad" death metal from the early days? (80s or early 90s)

By "bad" I mean some albums generally regarded as poor.

Thanks.

How do you pronounce the "Uriah" in Uriah Heep?

I can take a pretty good guess at the "Heep" part.

I don't know, but I've always said it like "you-riah"

Yeah, but is that you-rye-uh or you-ree-uh?

I've always pronounced it and heard it pronounced as you-rye-uh.
