Hello,
Some of these songs came out in the early 90's, but I consider them all as part of the heavy metal era. That era roughly ran from about 1983-1993.
Before I get to more heavy metal classics, I thought I would add this song that tweaks classic 80's videos. They are clearly tweaking Robert Palmer, George Michael, Motley Crue, Whitesnake and is that Heavy D and the Boys they are also mocking?
How about some Motley Crue? "Home Sweet Home":
Bang Tango's "Someone Like You":
The Guns N' Roses section:
"Paradise City":
My favorite G N' R song: "Mr. Brownstone":
The either could be incredibly magical or incredibly sloppy "Knocking On Heaven's Door":
"What's so civil about war anyway?" "Civil War":
Thank you for having "Patience" with me before I got to this video :)
The Queensryche section:
The "Empire" subsection:
"Best I Can":
"Empire":
"Another Rainy Night":
"Jet City Woman":
The "Operation Mindcrime 1" subsection: "I Don't Believe In Love":
"Spreading The Disease": (Explicit: Will Offend Some)
"Suite Sister Mary":
The Metallica Section:
"Enter Sandman":
One of the most kickass songs of all-time, "One":
"Harvester of Sorrow";
"Through The Never":
"Sad But True":
"Unforgiven":
The Whitesnake section:
"Slide It In":
"Still Of The Night":
"Love Ain't No Stranger":
"Fool For Your Loving":
Whitesnake isn't just a metal band. "Ain't No Love In The Heart Of The City":
"Is This Love":
This is probably the last of my heavy metal blogs for now. I realize I haven't included several classic bands, but I do only have so much time. I haven't included anything by the Scorpions, Dio and many great songs by lesser known metal bands. The bands I have featured reflect my prejudices. Not all metal bands were great. Having said that I still did my best to have a fairly wide range of metal songs. I hope you enjoyed them, I love hearing many of these songs again.
And although many people consider Black Sabbath the fathers of heavy metal, I've never been a big Sabbath fan.
