Static-X - Push It

Band:  Static-X
Genre:  Industrial Metal, Nu-Metal

Let's continue the Nu-Metal kick a little longer actually, cause it's a genre that I've been stuck on for just a little bit now.  Honestly it really bugs me when this happens, cause it's not like I can just flood you guys with a single genre like this.  It's not really nice of me, ya know?

Still though, this is another song I've been using to make it through the days recently.  It got added to my "Zip and Zing" playlist that's basically all just really fast paced music that I enjoy.  It's all stuff I like, but since I've been stuck on it I haven't had too many ideas of what to give you guys.

Hey, I'll be out of this rut soon, fear not.

Guns N' Roses - Rocket Queen

Band:  Guns N' Roses
Genre:  Rock, Classic Rock
Themes:  Some innuendo stuff

Rock legend has it that in this song you can hear Axl Rose banging a groupie in the vocal booth, having it recorded, and layered in the song.  Or at least that's the story.

Basically it's just your typical event for GNR, but still, it's kinda trashy.

Ian Ethan - Butter II

Artist:  Ian Ethan
Genre:  Acoustic
Bandcamp
Website

My dad showed me this last night as I was coming off about 7 hours of sleep over the course of 3 days, so you'll have to forgive a lack of details.

All I know for sure is this guy is totally awesome and if you don't listen at least a little you have no soul.

Kanye West - Niggas In Paris

Artist:  Kanye West and Jay-Z
Genre:  Rap, Hip Hop
Language:  Kinda obvious

I still really love Kanye, and this song is really one of my favorites of his.  I'm not really familiar with anything that Jay-Z, but I know that he's good.

This album was both Kanye and Jay-Z working though, and all in all it's a really solid thing.  If you follow TheNeedleDrop you might have seen his review of this album talking about how since both Kanye and Jay-Z are at the top of the game the album seemed like a bit of a self serving piece at times.  Tracks where they just bragged themselves up when they really didn't need to.

This one though.

This song is freaking fantastic.

As usual if you don't like my taste in music or the language content I do apologize, but this is me.  If it offends you, please pass this post by and enjoy (I hope) the next one.

Judas Priest - Breaking The Law

Band:  Judas Priest
Genre:  Speed Metal

I thought of these guys because at work my friend Nick and I were talking about who we feel are underrated guitarists.  He said, "man, that guy from Judas Priest, cause I don't even know his name but their music is solid."

I had to agree with him so I came and did some research on it.  Turns out they've got two guitarists who were constantly in competition with each other.  If one came up with a good guitar riff the other did everything he could to top it.

That' ladies and gentleman, is how to keep good music going.  Fighting.

Powerman 5000 - Super Villain

Band:  Powerman 5000
Genre:  Industrial Metal
Language:  Some, Strong

I feel so horribly disorganized this week.  I'm so tired I want to die.

Anyway, the music.

I feel like the driving beat of P5K will help get through this terribly exhausting existence I have for the time being, so why not share it with you as well?

If you didn't see the last two times I posted these guys late last year then I'll give you a couple things I might have mentioned before.

The singer, Spider, is Rob Zombie's brother.
Their music is featured in video games and movies because of the repetitive driving factor, though the singer doesn't like video games at all.

Aight, cool.  Listen up!

Mötley Crüe - Kickstart My Heart

Band:  Mötley Crüe

Genre:  Glam Metal, Hair Metal, 80s Metal

I was gonna do a blog post today, but I haven't been home enough or have Wifi on my laptop enough to write any posts recently.  Sorry guys!

Right now I'm stealing sleep time to write this.

Motley Crue though, everybody loves their icons of the 80s, right?

Check it.

Also look at the guy second from the left.  Tell me that man didn't actually want to be in a much more extreme metal band.  Come on, try to tell me that.
