56:18
Well done!

Rob Halford would actually ride onto stage on a Harley. Kind of a rad prop.

01:00:46
Aka Steel Dragon.

01:00:55
Is that what he named it?

01:01:21
Oh man, this is ATTITUDE

01:22:20
Venom.

01:22:34

01:22:54
Metal Magic lol

01:22:56

01:28:41
Oh mai

01:28:44
question: what category do depressing lyrics fall into?

01:28:56
guttural.

01:28:58
very enunciated

01:29:16
Great way to wake up in the morning….

01:29:31
Rex, did you work at the cheesecake factory?

01:30:02
Amazing—he can reduce any number of syllables into just three!

01:30:07
the retail experience (tm)

01:30:08
I just remembered a band that may have both aspects of metal, i.e. partying and death. Anyone listened to Party Cannon

01:30:25
that's what it felt like waiting table when severly hung over.

01:30:41
lotr fanboys

01:31:30
To be fair, Spinal Tap was a goof

01:31:35

01:37:49
As an amulet it is very popular. Symbolizes virility

01:39:07
I'd recommend the youtube channel BangerTV that the guy behind this documentary started. They do a lot of album reviews, interviews, etc.

01:39:07
this was 10+ years ago?? I feel old now

01:40:43
Tool?

01:41:03
NONE, but still awesome!

01:41:03
GnR has been my favorite band growing up, but I never thought of them as metal

01:41:05
Are they? Maybe GNR?

01:41:07
I’d call most of them Hard Rock or Classic Rock, some Prog Rock.

01:41:10
none, for me

01:41:14
mostly hard rock^

01:41:28
they all definitely influenced metal bands

01:41:36
Yes, but at the time they may have been the hardest thing going: Re. Motley Crue...

01:41:38
All influenced at the very least

01:41:50
agreed

01:42:02
Maybe it shows the pointlessness of "genre". :)

01:42:02
Definitions change with time. Some day, who knows, Metallica may not be called metal anymore!

01:42:20
We all become Muzak at some point...

01:42:27
If Cindarella is metal then GNR is!

01:42:29
That’s Greta quote

01:42:32
great

01:42:33
Don't forget Cold Lake by Darkthrone

01:42:50
yeah, Led Zeppelin was sometimes referred to as "the first heavy metal band" until the definitions changed...

01:43:28
Yeah, same with Deep Purple.

01:43:37
Only Steel Panther is true metal! :-)

01:43:46
hahaha

01:43:52
Eatins not cheatin

01:43:56
Black Sabbath is also called the first heavy metal band

01:44:28
Might be a gateway to metal

01:44:41
Well said.

01:44:54
unfortunately

01:45:00
YESSSS

01:45:08
Hahaha

01:45:26
Seen men dressed as vaginas at their show

01:46:04
Love that MC….

01:46:08
they say "death to all but metal" so it checks out

01:46:09
I'd say they're more of a parody of glam metal than glam metal proper I guess

01:46:21
Put your hands up if you want to hide your age with bandanas!

01:46:26
Aren't they more Weird Al than their own thing?

01:46:31
is tenacious d metal? ?!

01:46:41
More metal than these guys.

01:47:04
Rex, I think you're talking to Bret Michaels :P

01:47:16
Yes.

01:47:22
those leggings...

01:47:23
If they're signing and not talking or screaming or burping on the mic, it is NOT metal.

01:47:36
I need my bong hit now....

01:47:51
I thought I turned my camera off... ha!

01:48:42
<3

01:48:49
"they are Cyanide, a loving tribute to metal."

01:48:53
The less one knows about rock music, the more all rock music sounds like metal....

01:49:28
Helaragon! Wow!

01:49:46
nanowar is amazing lmao

01:49:47

Oh here is some heavy metal ukulele: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KEodtWN7Xb0

01:53:24
is ghost metal?

01:53:56
From what I've heard, I wouldn't call them metal.

01:55:22
would make a great album cover

01:55:31
Pussy Riot

01:57:38
best metal song of 2020

01:57:38
This is awesome!

01:57:56
Yet I've saved so much money by not buying alcohol at shows...

01:58:33
This always works.

01:58:35
This is amazing.

01:58:37
Brilliant!

01:59:08
i love this

01:59:17
Reminds me of Megachurch

01:59:27
that was epic

01:59:29
That’s pretty metal

01:59:40
God loves a good pocket square

01:59:51
HAHAHAHA

02:00:40
Authenticity is key— good metal comes from the same place as poetry

02:01:31
Well said Joe

02:02:34
great insights Joe, never thought of that "tribal gathering" analogy

02:02:38
You too Suzanne!

02:03:23
being at shows feels more like home than my actual home

02:03:35
couldn't have said it better Sym

02:03:45
Metal puts me in that “zone” for lack of a better word….

02:03:48
Soul

02:05:07
A parallel world….

02:05:48
YES

02:05:50
thanks Joe! excellent job moving this class seamlessly to an online setting

02:11:34
metal band tattoo show and tell

02:12:34
Hence the question, is this metal?

02:13:22
more genre crossovers

02:14:03
Yes, many branches that come off and run perpendicular to metal over time. Nu-metal, grunge, doom, etc...

02:15:06
you can only go so fast too!

02:16:01
Yes, it gets back to classical: Jason Becker

02:16:08
more folk instruments, all the folk instruments

02:16:15
Hahaha, y'all kill me
