Ken's Metal Blog

Welcome to Ken's Metal Blog!

This blog is a commemorative type of outlet for my past love affair with heavy metal music as well as all the other names similar types of music go by, like heavy rock, metal, death metal, thrash metal and all that other stuff.

Well actually, I'm not into most of the newer - and by newer I'm talking anything in the last 20 years or so - types of metal sounds. I'm an old rocker, so the metal of my era was out of the 1970s and 1980s mainly, so we're talking bands like Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Van Halen, Ozzy, Sabbath, Dio, Slayer, WASP that sort of thing.

I play guitar, so my interest was always in bands that featured heavy, fast and clever guitar work and guitarists. So out go bubble gum bands that have big keyboards - can't stand 'em! Even commercial so-calleed metal bands like Def Leppard and Bon Jovi leave me a little cold.

Too technical also leaves me wamting to go to sleep, so out go techno guitarists like Steve Vai, Vinnie Moore, Joe Satriani etc. Booooringgg!!!

Ok, Steve Vai did some good stuff with Whitesnake and Dave Lee Roth, but his solo stuff was to nod off to.

Am I a critical bastard? You betcha!

Follow this blog and I'll probably take apart every metal musician that ever graced a recording studio!
