METALLICA LIVE KILL ‘EM ALL SET FROM ORION

I’m still kind of pissed at myself that I didn’t try harder to go to the 2nd installment of Metallica’s Orion Music + More fest June 8 and 9 in Detroit. At least Metallica puts cool sets like this on livemetallica.com so us idiots who didn’t go can enjoy it, or for those that were there can enjoy it all over again.

The set goes like this. On Saturday afternoon James Hetfield comes on one of the side stages to introduce a unheard of band called Deehan. James goes through the motions of introducing the made up band when all of a sudden Lars Ulrich hops on stage and starts playing the intro to Hit The Lights, the first song from their 1983 debut Kill ‘em All. Then Kirk Hammet and Robert Truillo walk on stage and James is given his classic Gibson Explorer guitar. They then proceed to play that album in it’s entirety.

Here’s video from Metallica’s website of “Hit The Lights” and “Phantom Lord”

SEX DRUGS RATT N’ ROLL IN THE HANGAR

stephen-pearcy-456-neil-zlozowerStephen Pearcy from Ratt has just released his tell all book about being the frontman of one the world’s biggest hard rock band’s and one of the first of the 80′s sleaze rock LA bands. Ratt helped kick off the Sunset strip party bands that dominated the metal scene for the better part of ten years. They were right there with Motley Crue and Quiet Riot at the beginning and height of 80′s metal. Stephen gives us the juice this weekend in the Hangar.

 

The classic metal stories continue as we go In The Vault with Neil Fallon from Clutch.

Black_Sabbath_-_Black_SabbathAs the world is still jamming the first release from Black Sabbath with Ozzy on vocals since 1978′s Never Say Die! we go old school and throw down a Power Set from the original metal band’s 1969 debut simply titled Black Sabbath.

Queensryche-Queensryche

 

We stop the classics for just a minute as the Todd LaTorre fronted version of Queensryche get’s their time for a Then & Now. Spoiler alert: it’s pretty good and it’s heavy.

 

Then our Heavy Metal Soundtrack recommendation comes from an early 90′s comedy movie about a record store featuring an appearance from GWAR. “Oh Rexy You’re So Sexy” it’s Emipre Records.

3 More hours of classic metal this and every weekend inside Hangar 19.
