Yeah, you said it.

I made sure I didn't have my headphones on before I hit 'play'... good job I did. I must be getting old. If I was going to start a genre like this I'd call it 'Deaf Metal'.

I think this will meet with your approval:

Brutal... on the ears as well!

Donna Summers' I Feel Love is cool slowed down: Here it is stretched to 44 minutes:

On the subject of girl's names...

Alright you old fogeys, this is what's cool with the teenies who are into non-mainstream underground stuff my 13 year old nephew played to me today. Dig it :

I wore that album out and Hemispheres. Lyrically, I rank Peart with Waters at clever, conceptual writing. They make a complex, sophisticated noise for a three piece rock band. The Trees is a great political tune: La Villa Strangiato is a good showcase for their composing and playing skills.

Blast! I was just about to link my "String's Pulled-Out-Of-My-Arse-and Evidence-Free Lectures On Things you Didn't Want to Know But I Think You Should" channel.

It doesn't surprise me because quite a few of the metal-loving kids I knew at school were pretty clever. I was more the hippy type. Long-hair, tight jeans and Floyd t-shirt. I've only just this year got rid of my long hair.which I've had, on and off, since I was 15.

Metalhead you are aren't you? I must admit I've been pulling out the heavy and hard tunes on Yutoob....ah memories and damaged ears from the gigs. YT blows me away because I'm finding gigs that weren't shown much in their day; like that Rainbow stuff. It was all LPs then. I also like heavily guitar-oriented like this wailing Kossof track:

Great heavy tune. This is what I remember Dio for:

They were huge when I was a kid. I wouldn't say one gets 'into' Queen because they were a fun band really but the band were very good musicians and Mercury had an awesome voice imo... no one like him. Notably, that I can remember, he was never openly derided for his openly camp and gay persona, even in the early seventies when homosexuality was still very much in the closet and largely scorned..He was always a popular guy.

On the scientist theme, I present astrophysicist Brian May and my favourite Queen song!

I was a headbanger in my early teens when Halford was the lead singer. This is a good cover of Floyd's Time:
