Pantera

"Cowboys From Hell"

(1990)

................Genre: Heavy Metal...............

Music needs to be hard man!

Pantera is to Heavy Metal as ... ah .... say Matisyahu is to rap [Jewish rap]. Harsh?

Nah.

Now the song "Floods" I really liked, hell, I even included it "The Definitive 1000 Songs of All Time". Just wasn't recieved so well by the general public. It has only recieved two votes ....... and they wern't positive ones either. When I purchased the Pantera "Cowboys From Hell" [yes purchased ... as in $$ ... i know, I know] it was for a retail shop I was managing in Hastings, NZ. Now, as odd as that might sound, trust me it was not intended for the shoppers delight in ear treatment. It was for me after hours, to listen too while counting the companies pennies! ~ crowbarred

Pantera's breakthrough album, Cowboys from Hell, is largely driven by the band's powerful rhythm section and guitarist Diamond Darrell (as he was then known)'s unbelievably forceful riffing, which skittered around the downbeats to produce unexpected rhythmic phrases and accents, as well as his inventive soloing. Phil Anselmo displayed a vocal range that could switch from a growling shout to a high falsetto -- listen to him match Darrell's harmonic squeals at the end of "Cemetery Gates." The album gradually becomes more same-sounding as it goes on, but the first half, featuring such brutal slices of thrash as "Psycho Holiday," "Primal Concrete Sledge," and the title track, pretty much carries its momentum all the way through. ~ [Steve Huey, All Music Guide]

Eye c u
FYI: Allmusic.com gave a loveable 4 out of 5 stars. "Cowboys from Hell" ranked #25 on VH1's 40 Greatest Metal Songs. With an instantly recognizable guitar riff, "Cowboys from Hell" is one of the most popular Pantera songs. The song was featured as a cover in the video game Guitar Hero, and a live version of the song is featured in Guitar Hero: Smash Hits. ~ [Source: wikipedia]

"Defy You"

(2001)
.
.

................Genre: Alt Punk...............

Yeah well? I defy you too candypants

"My websites [crowbarred.com, crowbared.blogspot.com, crowbarredunleashed & etc, etc, etc] are dying, yes i know. Mainly for the reasons I'm dying .... dying inside literally. My motivation is at a all time low, yet, I just compiled MM Vol 21 and that in a strange way has re-motivated me .... well at least for this article anyway.

I love music, always have and probably always will .... that is until the day i don't understand it anymore.

Soooooo, with this new found enthusiasim [thanks to Eminem, Muse and 30 Seconds to Mars aka vol 21] I am going to soldier on and give writing about music one more go - whether it works out ... lets see ~ crowbarred

I LOVEE you like a fat kid loves cake !

Defy You" is a song by punk rock band The Offspring. It was recorded (along with its own music video) in 2001 after the release of their CD Conspiracy of One for the movie Orange County. The song was also released as a single in December 2001. espite early claims that the song would appear on the next Offspring album at the time (which would become Splinter), it was never released on any of their albums save for their Greatest Hits compilation. An acoustic version of the song has also been recorded but never officially released. The music video for the song was recorded in November 2001, directed by Dave Meyers who also directed the video for "Original Prankster) and debuted on MTV on 8 December. It is mostly a performance video of the band playing in front of a shop where various events relevant to the song's title take place.

Offspring [someboy's kids?]

At the start of the video a suspicious man steals items from the store. Suddenly the police start running towards the man and he panics, only for them to tackle another man. He then walks past two dogs - one big and one small. The small dog barks down the bigger one. During the instrumental bridge, singer Dexter Holland walks into the store and buys water. After other events, the video ends with a group of nerds being teased by bullies. In keeping with the song's theme, they respond violently and are eventually left alone. The video soon after fades to black. .The music video also appears on the Complete Music Video Collection DVD. It was released in 2005. ~ [Source: Wikipedia]

According to TopTens.com the best 10 songs ever released from P.O.D. are the following [all links play a preview of the song playable in itunes only - oh, btw, you can vote there too] #10: Rock the Party (Off the Hook), #9: Boom, #8: Will You, #7: Execute the Sounds, #6: Roots In Stereo, #5: Going In Blind, #4: Truly Amazing, #3: Southtown, #2: Alive [this would be my number 1 choice] #1: Youth of the Nation.

Three other songs by P.O.D. that just missed out were ... #11: Addicted, #12: Sleeping Awake & #13: Goodbye for Now. Now if you disagree with any of these selections or [they] just plain forgot a song .... start voting !! ~ crowbarred

adults leading a nation of youths astray

While they play around with the infectious grooves of reggae and Latin music as well as the heavy deliverance of hip-hop and rock, San Diego's hard rock four-piece P.O.D. has defined a universal message. They're born-again Christians and their faith takes a central place in their music. Formed in 1992 in the SoCal neighborhood of San Ysidro, Marcos (guitar) and Wuv (drums) relished the music they grew up on. San Ysidro or "Southtown" was a multicultural area, but working class. While Marcos and Wuv were fond of their jazz and reggae roots, they were young punks in the making. Both loved the gnarl of grunge and took to liking Green Day, Pennywise, Bad Brains, and the Vandals. They got a band together, P.O.D. (short for "Payable on Death"), with Wuv's hip-hop MC cousin, Sonny, and aimed for something real. Cleveland native Traa joined in 1993 and P.O.D. were on the map. A year later and with the buzz still going, P.O.D. hit the road with Ozzfest 2000 and shared dates with Crazy Town and Staind for the MTV Campus Invasion tour. They also ventured into films, contributing several songs to various soundtracks. "School of Hard Knocks" proved successful in the Adam Sandler comedy Little Nicky in 2001, whereas additional tracks featured in the Al Pacino sports thriller Any Given Sunday and Ready to Rumble maintained P.O.D.'s growing status. A second album for Atlantic, Satellite, was recorded with Howard Benson in spring 2001. Benson captured the magic once again, for P.O.D.'s stature exploded later that year, hot on the heels of the spiritual chaos of debut single "Alive." "Youth of the Nation" scored again for P.O.D., as its positive mix of hip-hop, reggae, and hardcore punk defined a different kind of rock next to the likes of Kid Rock, Limp Bizkit, and Korn. ~ [Source: http://www.artistdirect.com/artist/bio/pod/663885]

Youth Of A Nation

church of pod

"Youth of the Nation" was a hit single from P.O.D. in 2002. It was the second single to come from their album, Satellite. It was inspired in part by the school shootings at Santana High School and Columbine High School. While Satellite contained numerous hit songs, "Youth of the Nation" was the band's only #1 hit on the Modern Rock chart and reached #28 on the Billboard Hot 100. The song's inspiration stems from a trip when the band was on their way to record for Satellite. They were held up in traffic and discovered that the reason was a school shooting. The album was consequently delayed and they were inspired to write "Youth of the Nation." The song follows three distinct characters in assorted problems they face common to American youth. The music video for "Youth of the Nation" has the band performing the song in a room filled with photos of adolescents as seen on the single cover. It revolves around a group of teenagers taking a cross country trip in a car from New York City to what appears to be California. Directed by Paul Fedor, the video found significant airplay on MTV2. ~ [Source: Wikipedia]

MM Vol 2 #072

Sum 41

"Fat Lip"

(2001)

................Genre: Alt Punk...............

bigger than Mick Jagger?

Sum 41's "Fat Lip" was not a favourite, particulaly for this Mellow Mix Volume [Why Mellow Mix as a title? Just a name that stuck from making various mix tapes from the 70's & 80's. Yes ... lame indeed] but i was determined [or self forced] to include new music and bands that were current, you know the story.

The song itself is not that bad [not great either] and it does come across slightly catchy with a very watchable music video. Its just not as classy as say a Blink 182 or Green Day, etc, etc [think "The King & I" rhetoric].

Fat Lip is the only song by Sum 41 that i have got in all the 21 Mellow Mix volumes i have made so far and unless someone can persuade me to change the above fact by suggesting a better Sum 41 song .... Im all apples and pears [ears] ~ crowbarred

we're not dysfunctional .... much

Sum 41 hit worldwide radar in 1996 after tiny Ajax, Ontario, proved unable to fully contain the foursome's blathering mixture of punk-pop riffing, hip-hop poses, and toilet-bowl humor. Led by guitarist/vocalist Deryck Whibley, who looked like a mash-up of the Prodigy's Keith Flint and cartoon land's Calvin, the band also included guitarist/vocalist Dave Baksh, bassist Cone McCaslin, and drummer Steve Jocz. Wooed by the boys' goofy antics and incendiary live show (and excited about the prospect of promoting their very own blink-182), Island put Sum 41 on the payroll in 1999. The Half Hour of Power EP followed, and Warped Tour dates got the word out. They returned in 2000 with the fun-filled full-length All Killer No Filler, and the singles "In Too Deep" and "Fat Lip" became staples of both modern rock radio and Total Request Live.

We had 40 other band names before this

An extensive tour followed, and Sum 41 enjoyed their boffo success the way all near-teenage boys would, with plenty of towel-snapping, groupie-loving, and self-depreciating, low-ball humor. In 2002, they returned to wax with Does This Look Infected? While the album was a bit harder-edged, it found the band just as jazzed as ever to mix punk-pop business with sophomoric pleasure: the video for "Hell Song" featured the fellas acting out a sort of rock star debauchery cage match with the aid of a few celebrity action figures. Metallica, Jesus Christ, and the Osbournes all made appearances in the hilarious clip. Not all fun and games, however, their involvement in the charity group War Child Canada had Sum 41 lending a hand in the making of a 2004 documentary covering the effects of war in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Five days into filming, fighting and gunfire suddenly erupted around them, and they barely escaped unharmed -- these events led to 2004's slightly more mature and serious effort, Chuck, named for the UN aid worker, Chuck Pelletier, who was instrumental in getting them to safety. The DVD Rocked: Sum 41 in Congo was released at the end of 2005 and the live album Go Chuck Yourself appeared the following March. Guitarist Dave Baksh left the band during the spring of 2006 due to creative differences, going on to form the metal-punk outfit Brown Brigade. Sum 41 continued on as a trio, and their first album as such, Underclass Hero, appeared in July 2007. ~ [Johnny Loftus, All Music Guide]

Lit

"Zip-Lock"

(1999)
.

................Genre: Alt Rock...............

I wanna be in this video too !

Ah yes ... Pamela Anderson. How can we forget her in the last video she participated for Lit's "Miserable"in 1999? click here > to see video. According to Wikipedia sources, the song "My Own Worst Enemy" also from the 1999 album "A Place In The Sun" which coincidentally houses this MM Vol 2 title track [drum roll ...] "Zip-Lock", is their largest selling single. Personally, me love "Miserable" better and not just for the obvious reasons. Its a damn good song. [stop saying "whatever"]

"Zip-Lock" [the song, not the bag] is a good song in its own right too, has to be, it features Blink 182 in the video that accompanies the song ! OK, its not a very good reason .. but maybe Pamela Anderson was unavailable for this particular vid, probably to busy making her own with Tommy Lee of Motley Crue.

AJ Popoff

Their first major-label release (for RCA) sees California rockers Lit mellow the grunge-lite-punk-metal assault of their first two albums in favor of airbrushed, radio-friendly power pop. The result is an album that is sonically more focused, with its buzzing guitars and singsong vocals. Lyrically, the Popoff brothers have a way with words, and they lyrics are full of ironic angst and clever self-deprecation. The playing is tight and crisp. A couple of songs really stand out: "Miserable" brings vocalist Jay Popoff's Elvis Costello impression to the fore and "Quicksand" sparkles. ~ [Leslie Mathew, All Music Guide]

Allan Shellenberger [1970 - 2009]

On May 5, 2008 it was announced that Lit's drummer, Allen Shellenberger, was diagnosed with a malignant glioma (brain tumor). On July 26, 2008, Lit held a benefit for Allen at House Of Blues in Anaheim, California. A number of bands performed including Sugar Ray and Handsome Devil. No Doubt drummer Adrian Young filled in for Shellenberger on the drums for a few songs. Both drummers also played at the same time for a few songs. Shellenberger died on August 13, 2009, at the age of 39.

So its 2010 .... What are they up to? In April 2010 during an interview with OC Talk Radio, Lit hinted they are currently talking with and would return to a major label for their next release. They also revealed they are working on a new management deal as well as performing new material live. Lit has yet to announce the release of any new material or a projected time frame for their next album. ~ [Source: Wikipedia] - that's good news .... they rock and are to good just to be idle.

Weta

"Let It Go"

(2000)

................Genre: Alt Rock...............

Pass the really BIG can of Raid please hunny

2nd entry [in mellow mix volumes] for the fantastic New Zealand group, Weta, last fearured in Mellow Mix Volume 1 #039. So, what has happened since then ... and what [wtf] happened to Weta after their break-up in 2001?

Much loved Kiwi rock act Weta - who had several radio hits in 2000 including Calling On and Got the Ju - had reformed for two November [2008] tour dates. The band, fronted by Aaron Tokona, broke up shortly after releasing their debut album, Geographica. Their Wikipedia site says the band split because Tokona "stopped believing that I was doing what I really wanted to do".

aaron tokona

But in a blog posted on Stuff.co.nz in July, Weta's drummer Clinton den Heyer hinted the band were considering making a comeback for summer. "Who knows - maybe we could get the opportunity to drop a second difficult album and have everyone slate it," den Heyer said. It continues a trend for Kiwi acts to reform lately, following Supergroove, Garageland and the Headless Chickens. Weta play Auckland's Galatos on November 20 and Wellington's San Francisco Bath House on November 21 [2008]. ~ [Source: stuff.co.nz]

2009? .. Following this mini tour they announced they were all committed to a second album, after a break of 8 years --- only to break up shortly before recording, feeling "too old.". One new live song was played during their reunion tour, however there are no plans to release this new material. ~ [Source: Wikipedia]

MM Vol 2 #075

Rob Zombie

"Iron Head"

(2001)

................Genre: Alt Metal...............

Move over Dr. Hook

A pure, modern day mastermind of a genius? [a 21st century twisted Jesus?] Or a fortunate entrepreneur? Personally, I choose option 1. The song "Dragula" from 1998, features in Number 36 Mellow Mix Vol 1. That song itself is nothing short of being a classic in my view .. and back in the day it was one of the last CDs [Hellbilly Deluxe] I ever purchased [as MP3 was going to be the norm from there in].

"Iron Head" however, does not have the same "happy go lucky catchy wheely feel" but it still belts out and having Ozzy Osbourne backing you up in the vocals cant be that bad can it? Hell no.

This reminds me, I must give "Hellbilly Deluxe 2" [2010] a listen to ..... just in-case there is another hidden wee gem like "Dragula" again. You never know, this man never fails to impress me. Right .... It's time to watch a horror film .... Oh look it's Michael Myers! Disney film ... NOT. [Insert evil laffter]

Marilyn Manson is a PUSSY!

Hard rock's brightest shock rocker avoids the sophomore slump on the fun and energetic The Sinister Urge. Zombie's trademark growl is still in fine form, roaring over the 11 tracks with his unique blend of acid-throated venom. But most interesting are the directions he tries to bring to his familiar sound, which he has been cultivating since the hardcore punk days of White Zombie. "Never Gonna Stop (The Red, Red Kroovy)" is the most apparent example of this, a song that borders on pop with its groovy handclaps and acoustic guitars. But not to be worried, the chorus kicks back into classic Zombie, complete with sampled crowd chants and his trademark "yeah." "Going to California" has a similar vibe, albeit darker and with a Welcome to My Nightmare-era Alice Cooper showbiz quality to it. But when it comes time to rock out, Zombie is more than ready. "Dead Girl Superstar" is probably the best of the bunch, raging along at lightning speed and featuring an awesome guest appearance by Slayer guitarist Kerry King. "Iron Head" is also quite good, matching Zombie's bark with guest singer Ozzy Osbourne's trademark banshee wail over a swaggering beat and chugging riff. And finally there is "House of 1000 Corpses," the theme from the film Zombie directed that apparently offended Universal Studios so much that they refused to release it. The song is a nice departure for him, like a Leonard Cohen song filtered through Violator-era Depeche Mode. It is the slow burn of this last track that shows the most promise; after years of making good heavy metal, he finally expands the boundaries of his own sound. Few metal musicians kept their sound fresh for as long as Zombie, and this album is no exception. This may not win any new fans, but anyone who enjoyed his old material will probably find this to be a welcome addition to their collection. Listen for the bonus track, "Unholy Three," about a minute after the last track ends. ~ [Bradley Torreano, All Music Guide]

Iron Head [yeah so?]

Call me Chad Kroeger and i will kick you

"Iron Head" is a song on Rob Zombie's second solo album The Sinister Urge. It features heavy metal legend Ozzy Osbourne contributing his vocals on the chorus. The song was co-written by guitarist Riggs. The name comes from a combination of the song titles of Black Sabbath's "Iron Man" and White Zombie's "Electric Head". Ironhead may also refer to a Harley-Davidson Sportster motorcycle engine produced form 1956 until 1985. The song also appeared on the soundtrack of the 2002 action movie The Scorpion King. The song was covered by Skoink for The Electro-Industrial Tribute to Rob Zombie in 2002. ~ [Source: Wikipedia - where else?]

MM Vol 2 - 076 - Goldfinger

2010-01-23T01:34:00.014+13:00

MM Vol 2 #076

Goldfinger

"99 Red Balloons"

(2000)

................Genre: Alt Punk...............

I said 99 balloons !

Like Smash Mouth, Puddle Of Mudd and Tenacious D, Goldfinger were another shot of fresh air in the beginning of the boring 00's [naughties, as it's now named]. Alternative Punk, fringe rock or self abusing ditties seemed to be the way of the future. As it cruelly turned out ... it didn't. But enough about you ... and more about them. Yes, Goldfinger was raw, short ... and catchy as herpes on a midnight bus to the movies .... but it rocked. And it was FAST. [just like all rashes wink]

So what were Goldfinger thinking when they decided to re-make a early 80's abstract/foreign pop hit by a chic called Nena into a alternative punk version for 2002?. Because they could, they knew it would sound better and most of all ..... it put food on their tables till they could think of another song to feed them.

Kudos for that!

Spot the gold? spot the finger?

Along with No Doubt, Sublime, and Rancid, the Los Angeles quartet Goldfinger helped contribute to a mini-U.S. ska-punk movement in the mid- to late '90s. The group was originally formed in 1994 by ex-Electric Love Hogs guitarist/singer John Feldmann and bassist/singer Simon Williams (who were both working at the same shoe store at the time), in addition to drummer Darrin Pfeiffer and an unnamed second guitarist (who would leave the group before any recordings could be issued and later become a pro surfer in Costa Rica). A friend of Feldmann's, Charlie Paulson, signed on shortly thereafter, playing his first show with the group just a day after being given a tape of their songs to learn. A six-track demo EP, Richter, was issued in 1995 and received favorable reviews and a substantial amount of airplay on college radio, leading to Goldfinger signing a major-label contract with Universal. Their self-titled full-length debut hit the record racks a year later, spawning the popular single/video "Here in Your Bedroom" (a track that originally appeared on their EP), and the group toured alongside the Sex Pistols, No Doubt, Reel Big Fish, and the multi-band festival the Vans Warped Tour. ~ [Greg Prato, All Music Guide]

Stomping Ground

Wrong Goldfinger you dolt!

As far as punk bands with a ska edge go, Goldfinger writes and performs punchy, three-minute slices of adrenaline as well as anyone, with the notable exception of Rancid. Of course, the whole genre is haunted by the specter of the late, great Clash, who did it better than anyone else. On Stomping Ground, Goldfinger shows a little more versatility. The beginning of "The End of the Day" almost has a Kinks feel to it. "Bro" is Soundgarden-heavy. Goldfinger still hasn't matched their breakthrough "Here in My Bedroom" from their 1996 debut, but "I'm Down," "San Simeon," "You Think It's a Joke," and a cover of Nena's "99 Red Balloons" (interesting choice) highlight a fine album that's the logical next step for a still-maturing band, an adjective that doesn't often apply to a band in this genre. ~ [Mark Morgenstein, All Music Guide]
