Band: AC/DC
Song: Back In Black
Album: Back In Black (1980)
Genre: Rock, Classic Metal
Honestly the reason I'm picking this song is 100% based on my school uniform. I used to wear black all the time at Chick-fil-A, and when I started at Toni&Guy I really loved the fact that their uniform was black too. I'd like a little more dimension, sure, but it's still my color of choice.
I've always been a huge fan of Ozzy's stuff with Sabbath, but I honestly don't know too much of his stuff with his solo career. My Uncle lent me his CD collection once though and it introduced me to a pile of bands. I got into a lot of bands I love now because of that actually.
I also feel like I say that a lot. "I never enjoyed this till that one time that..." seems to be a sentence I say rather often. Ah well.
Great song though, I'm sure you'll enjoy it at least a little bit. Most intense shampoo commercial you'll ever hear.
You know what, I'm gonna save the evil for the end of the week. I'm just gonna back off to the bad rep people who have only slightly passing association with satan. I'm sure you guys will enjoy that more anyway.
Actually This is one of the last days to this. Crap. Tomorrow is the heavy hitter of evil.
Eh, you'll get a straight up fun song for the actual 31st though for what it's worth.
Band: Black Sabbath
Genre: Classic Metal, Doom Metal
Probably everybody knows Black Sabbath by either their songs War Pigs, Paranoid, or Iron Man.
I'm not gonna lie I straight up love these guys, partially because I can actually play the bass lines in their songs. It's all relatively simple stuff and for the most part it was how I learned how to play. Actually since I didn't have anybody teaching me too much after I learned this I kinda hit a wall for a while. Eh, I still managed to learn more later, it was just hard for a while when you're locked into a pentatonic blues scale.
I only just realized after listening to a more recent live show that these guys built themselves the perfect late career plan. Their songs are simple enough to play, and their vocals have sounded like an old man from day one. Really good planning guys, keep up the good work.
Side note, the wedding went well yesterday and my speech, though I didn't get to cover as much as I had hoped to, also went well. I was the only one who didn't cry during their speech, so I think I win, haha.
Band: Motörhead (Motorhead)
Genre: Speed Metal / Classic Metal
Language: Some
Let's take another look at Motörhead! I'm mostly using this as the test template for the new feature at the top, but that's not important. The important thing is that this song is fantastic.
On a side note, the number of times I say Fantastic, Catchy, Amazing, and Wonderful is probably way too high. Ah well.
So you all know AC/DC, so I'm just gonna share a story about this song.
One day at work two of my managers were talking and the one said that her husband had had to drive 100 miles for a catering job the week before. The other manager answered "Well that's one hell of a drive!"
Now here at Chick-fil-a we don't swear. We do our best to enforce these rules and all that and as such managers are held to a very high regard. Still though, that wasn't really a horrible thing to say.
One of the employees overheard though and since 1. they kinda had it out for the one manager and 2. were super religious and pretty sensitive to stuff like that, so they complained. The manager had to talk with the owner and promise to not do that again.
Fast forward 3 days.
I'm listening to MY pandora account. My personal account.
Highway To Hell is a song that I have liked on my one station cause I like it a lot and it helps seed for a lot of good songs, ya know? Anyway a manager comes by who's friends with the dude that got in trouble and hear the song. He comes over and dislike's the song so it never comes back on while saying "If we can't say this word we definitely can't sing it here!" He was being sarcastic, but it still really bugs me since he messed with my station. We'd been playing that song for a while, it was just cause somebody hd their feelings hurt that we had to stop, and that's real bs.
This song is basically GnR saying "Hey look, Slash can play stuff!" Slash can play scales like nobodies business, and this song is no exception. The solo, the main hook, it's all stuff that I really freaking love the sound of cause it's just so smooth.
On a side note, this song is one of many songs that I'm adding to my Heroin playlist along with Spoonman by Soundgarden, and half of Alice In Chain's discography.
