Comment:
Made for Dave, February of 2003. NOTES: 1) The Link Wray instrumental was actually recorded in 1954. Aside from being a great song, it's notable in that it was one of the first (if not the first) recordings which made use of guitar distortion. Link got his sound by poking holes in his speakers with a pencil. And music would never be the same. 2) Which is the more offensive possibility: That Slayer ripped off the riff from Flower Travellin' Band's Satori Part 1 for use in "South of Heaven" without any sort of acknowledgement, or that Slayer wrote the "South of Heaven" riff without even knowing that Satori Part 1 existed? Given that they lifted "Dissident Aggressor" from Judas Priest without any sort of acknowledgement, I wouldn't put them above the former. However, I tend to think that the latter is the more likely the case, and, in my opinion, the more serious offense. 3) Bum is pre-Iron Maiden...the 1969 downer-rock Iron Maiden, not the 1979 NWOBHM Iron Maiden. 4) The KISS track is from their 1973 demo. A great song made even better with raw, garage-band production. 5) Necromandus was discovered and produced by Tony Iommi from Black Sabbath. He does a guest appearance on one of the tracks from this album, but I don't think it was this one. 6) The Ash Ra Tempel track is a crushing 20-minute freakout jam. 7) Icecross was an obscure, Icelandic heavy prog/rock outfit. 8) The Frost selection was recorded live at the Grande Ballroom in Detroit. 9) In Deep Purple's "Faultline," the drum and organ tracks were recorded forwards, and then reversed and a bass track was added over the top.Feedback:
Very interesting that you consider Link to be the godfather of metal - I guess I can see that. I'd probably extend it to Dave Davies and the Kinks as well. That is one great Link Wray song. Very interesting mix.
"You Really Got Me" is often cited as having the first true "heavy metal" riff, even if the term didn't exist at the time (1964). Didn't mean to imply that Link is necessarily the "godfather" of metal, just that his innovation (and, in many ways, his attitude) was one more of the elements which served to precipitate the development of proto-metal (hard rock, hard psych, hard prog, downer rock) in the late 60s and early 70s. And it was a great song, too.
uh where's the metallica and slipknot d00d? this mix like totelly blows. no, not really. this is a fantastic mix. keep it up, because this is quality stuff.
