The Metal Thread

[Mitakuye Oyasin]

Maiden is always a great show! I remember seeing Iron Maiden and Scorpions in Oakland in the early 80's for the Number of the Beast Tour. What amazing energy! I was barely a teenager, but what a treat. I've seen them around a dozen times overall. I hear there is a documentary about to release that has lots of good archival footage over the years, so that should be a fun watch and listen. Up The Irons!

All in all, a curious and mildly hilarious cultural phenomenon…

There's nothing funny about metal

Ill take this opportunity to share a clip of my mates metal band. He plays guitar in it and although he has anarcho punk roots loves a bit of Sabbath. I think that shines through. A bit of war pigs coming through in this tune....

These guys just concluded their tour across this God forsaken continent soaked in blood and misfortune and those who bore witness thank them for the momentary and undeserved grace.

Video not recorded this year, nor in the Home of the Scared, but is the setlist you either saw or did not and is pro shot/soundboard quality. Get an ad free browser, get very stoned and listen/watch. This is what Syd Barret era Pink Floyd would have looked like after the fall of hippie idealism. All bad trips, we know it and are in for the ride anyway.
