MONDAY METAL MOMENT
Iron Maiden “Run To The Hills
The release of this would have been right at the end of my being a metal kid. I grew up spending time with Native American culture and great men like Chief Lelooska and Buck Burshears. I’ve always thought it so cool that the subject matter of one of the greatest metal tracks of all time is of the Native Americans and the settler invasion.
MONDAY METAL MOMENT
I’ve been into early metal lately. As you might recall the term heavy-metal was coined to describe a live Jimi Hendrix performance at one of those formative festivals.
I’m not going to go back quite that far but I’m also probably not going to be playing Sepultura.
This one has been my favorite Sabbath track for several years.
It is after all an ode to pot. Check it out here.
i wanna thank our friends in uni for hooking us up with the rolling studio fundraiser.
here btw is their latest video. this is a new song or at least one they didn’t play at any of the our gigs together.
i know they’ve been working on it for at least a year cuz their guitarist would send me a picture every month or two of some crazy new set he was building. they are full on DIY, recording and mixing themselves and same with the video; the most extreme state of the art glam you could possibly imagine. i just love this song and film. on this trip they have gone really really far. amazing work.
When I was about 15 or 16 I put my best mod suit on and went downtown with my scooter boys to an empty room in an old warehouse and watched this amazing band with about twenty other scenesters.
San Diego was rumored to have had a strong md scene at the time so we all were under the impression that The Three O’Clock was an S.D. band. They were in fact an LA band and part of what was called the paisley underground which included Rain Parade and the Bangles amongst other 60’s influenced jangle guitar bands.
It just courted to me that the room was called “occupied space” and is now a sushi restaurant called Masu. They have the best salmon sashimi in the world. It’s true. I hope it survives the lockdown.
Tenpole Tudor had three hits in a row starting with the track “Three Bells In A Row” which I bought the single of on vinyl when I was a kid. It seems This predates MTV just enough to have only made videos for the second two singles. I don’t recall ever seeing them and I was an avid MTV watcher.
Watching them now I’m blown away by how cool this band is. The singer is the hottest dude ever. Guitarist is killing it on the hairstyle. Teddy boy with hairspray instead of grease. Awesome.
How this singer could put a band this cool together with cats who clearly are into it and believe in him but then not stay together is beyond me. And after having three U.K. hits in a row. Musta been some serious fucked up ego bullshit behavior goin on. Btw this singer was supposed to replace Lydon in the Sex Pistols at one point. He is in at least one of the Harry Potter movies. Pretty crazy lookin extremely Englishman now.

I refuse to believe this final embarrassment is the fault of J.J. Abrahms.
