Amongst many loud, bloody, sweaty others...

I have two cd cases, one with basically the history of rock and metal in it....all the good shi* by the good bands most of which you'd recognize, some of which you might like. AC/DC - ZZTop

The other one is all a bunch of bands no ones ever heard of.... friends bands, internet friends bands, obscure swedes that don't speak english, guys that used to be in other bands, singers that sound like cookie monster, singers that sound like operatic divas, etcetera.

Sounds eclectic...but its really all just loud and sweaty heavy metal.

I have certain hard, fast, Elvis-like rules when choosing what new bands I'll try listening to:

1) Make-up is *ghey.

2) Posed photos are ghey.

3) Swords are ghey

Pretty much everything after that I'll try once.

There is an exception to the 'is ghey' rule....The Darkness.

They remind me so much of Thin Lizzy I'm willing to bend.
