This image is the Hetfield I’ll always remember from the photos of that era. That’s the definitive Hetfield for me, probably because that was when I discovered Metallica.

Oh, and Faith No More too. I was so disappointed as a kid when I bought one album and Mike Patton didn’t sing on it…

Yeah, this one rings a bell with me too.

Yeah, AC/DC is a clear example of this.

I was gonna mention Maiden but then I thought Dickinson is so dominant among the three. But they do all have their fans.

 

I was listening to Marillion the other day and I started thinking about bands that have different eras with different singers and each of these eras have their fans. I guess there are loads of such bands when you started thinking about it.

Some that I can think of off the top of my head are:

  • Marillion (Fish and Steve Hogarth)
  • Fates Warning (John Arch and Ray Alder)
  • Black Sabbath (Ozzy and Dio)
  • Genesis (Peter Gabriel and Phil Collins)
  • Nightwish

These are interesting because the vocalist gives the voice to the band and in many cases, the sound changes drastically with the change of vocalist. Still, many bands manage to pull it off.

Prog Genesis was so weird to discover in my teens. I was used to the 80s Genesis from MTV.

I remember listening to Billy Bragg’s version of this years ago. Billy Bragg and John Darnielle have this in common: their voices are basically really annoying but still I like both of them.

I use the strictly offline Book Tracker app on my iPhone. I don’t really care about reviews or the social features, I just want an overview and some stats about my reading.

+1 for this. Would be amazing if something like this came out. I wonder if the rating functionality could be plugged into some kind of music (and other media) centric fediverse app.

Need to check this out. “Ancient Bards” sounds like a Blind Guardian tribute band based on the name 🙂

Most recently “I don’t belong to me” by the Lemon Twigs. Different songs from “Everything Harmony” have alternated in my head for weeks now…
