Malcador Posted December 31, 2021 Posted December 31, 2021 (edited) No, but 1979, when that came out, is. More hip hop needs to use brass instruments.

bugarup Posted January 12, 2022 Posted January 12, 2022 There is this thing with my Youtube reccomendations, when it offers up something that is definitely not like all the other things in there, and it keeps popping up no matter how persistently I ignore it until I give up and, hey, it appears it is not bad at all. And now I'm off to listen to everything by "Dead South".
Gorth Posted January 13, 2022 Posted January 13, 2022 Nostalgia time... from before Gorth was a teenager (just a big kid with access to his parents radio, no music videos or anything that fancy available on TV or elsewhere in Denmark in the 70's) “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.

majestic Posted January 18, 2022 Posted January 18, 2022 Looks like I spent the last ten years not knowing that Scooter actually made an official music video to their New Kids Turbo theme song. Ah, to have missed perfection for so many years. Scooter is truly the apex of European dance trash from the 90ies, and they're still going strong. In the unlikely case that anyone here is not familiar with these glorious Germans, take a peek at their prime 90ies trash: Spoiler A part of this post is a joke, it's up to you to find out which one. 1 1 No mind to think.

Malcador Posted January 20, 2022 Posted January 20, 2022 Not really sure why Youtube thought this was metal (when bored I rely on the mix playlist to get something to listen to).

For me it's the instruments and the lyrics. I sometimes identify bands as metal when the band doesn't even do it. For example: "because they filled mommy with enough mythic power to become a demi-god" - KP
Malcador Posted January 21, 2022 Posted January 21, 2022 At least power metal is easy to identify.

Proof: And just to add one more thing: They also have a new album called "God Save The Rave" so make of that title what you will. Heh. 1 No mind to think. No will to break. No voice to cry suffering.
