I have a lot of those mentioned. Being a canuck we have very little in the way of great rockers with just a few notable exceptions. May Blitz, Triumph....man I am in my 30's and I have found so many great bands in the last 5 years thanks to metalheads and youtube. Now if I could buy direct so the artists can get their due. I had found Shelob's Lair from doing some linking on Myspace pages. There are still some good retro rock bands out there. Witchcraft, Gentleman Pistols, Falcon(need to find you album somewhere in Canada!)Great Mammoth, and Troubled Horse. It gets pretty blurry as to what is metal and what is rock. It doesn't matter to me because its about the evolution of it. I might also recommend some early detroit rock. Frijid Pink, MC5, Nugents first band Amboy Dukes, Early Bob Seger. Good to know people are still fist pumping and banging heads! Good article. I have a lot of those mentioned.

I wouldn't go as far as claiming Anvil did much of anything groundbreaking. They were and are very much a heavy party rock/metal type band. I wouldn't go anywhere near mentioning them in the same breath as Sabbath, Thin Lizzy or Rush. While Anvil aren't bad musicians, there's no way I can say Anvil tunes like "Tag Team Matches" or "The Apartment" rank up there with immortal classics like Lizzy's "Emerald" or Sabbath's "Into the Void. As for paving the way for thrash, I'd have to point more towards Diamond Head, Angel Witch, Venom and Motorhead. Since my post was just an email copied and pasted on the blog by Dan, it wasn't meant to be an enormous history of metal. Just a rambling rant. Thera,

I think there is a conspiracy going on here, godammit! I neglected MANY bands there, not just Bedemon. This thing was conceived as a reply to an email, so it's just kinda cursory. My Bedemon/Pentagram feature ran in three different mags. Has anyone else ever interviewed Randy Palmer? I'm curious. I don't think so... Moxy, not Moxie.

And no mention about Randy Palmer's dark as fuck BEDEMON. And yes, all of those dinosaur bands are sooo unmetal as well as you are. Go listen some Lamb of God, Children of Bodom and Bullet for my Vallentine. Those are TRUE metal! :D:D:D Hey Perry that’s a great post, though you just mentioned one of the heaviest acts: The almighty PENTAGRAM. And no mention about Randy Palmer’s dark as fuck BEDEMON.

Don't think i've met many if any who share your knowledge and love for classic metal and rock. Fuck them. Fuck them in their stupid arses. Always enjoy your ramblin my friend. RAMBLE ON!
