As a sometime mandolin player,i am always interested in its use in genres other than the obvious ones,so i thought 'heavy metal mandolin'--could be interesting.
Metal - No Band Twice
Metal music has a reputation for being hard and aggressive, a celebration of the darker side of life. Something happened with the '80s styles, however, with a baffling infusion of glam that spawned a big-haired, face-painted look. This bizarre mix of makeup and macho macabre left an unforgettable mark on metal bands, with some attempts to nail the look coming up hilariously short.
In the last few years, it seems that there is no scene or genre left in the american underground that has not been co-opted and clichéd for festival-going hipsters. In a music industry currently characterized by a game of courting facebook "likes" and praying you can license your songs to a bacardi ad if you want to make it, what could be cooler than bands that try to make themselves inaccessible? what could be more outré than music that is genuinely culturally transgressive? therein lies the appeal of black metal.
As the title indicates, this will be a “best metal band from each u. S. State†listing, with a main band for every state’s entry, plus one or more honorable mentions. In this piece we will be using the term “best†very loosely. Everyone has their own “best band†from certain states, but we have used some metrics that are objective, or at least somewhat objective, to determine the entries on this list. Record sales is one of those metrics, along with chart performance, name recognition, awards and accolades, longevity, influence on the genre or subgenre, and ties to the metal scene. For less populous states, factors such as social media presence, reputation, label affiliation, and amount of press generated needed to be taken into account. For some states, it was a clear-cut decision. Other states required serious debate and research. Metal scenes exist in every state, but for some states, it’s harder to explore it than others. Not going to lie, in a few of these entries there are no honorable mentions. Of course, you the reader, can change my mind with substantive arguments. Multiple references were used when coming up with these entries such as encyclopedia metallum, ranker. Com, billboard. Com, wikipedia (with cross-referencing for accuracy), toiletovhell, noisey, metalsucks, metal injection, and metalunderground. Com. Certain styles of metal did not revoke a band’s eligibility for an entry, nor the fact of whether a band was currently active or not. The one stipulation is that the band has to originate in said state, and either continue to be based out of that state, or have reasonable ties to that state. In the case of the latter, i will explain further in the entry. Of course i did not do this alone. This article was made in collaboration with my two co-reporters, anthony and joe. Let’s dive in.
The story: eager for a cool-sounding metal band name, blackie lawless, rik fox, randy piper and tony richards decided to take the word "wasp," then for no reason punctuate the shit out of it. Why it's ridiculous: when not naming themselves after animals, insects, or something misspelled, metal bands love acronyms. However, unlike kiss (which at least purportedly means "knights in satan's service") or h. I. M. ("his infernal majesty"), the best that lawless has been able to come up over the years is "we ain't sure, pal. " (this is probably better than "white anglo-saxon protestants," but only slightly. ) worse, looking at w. A. S. P. Song titles like "l. O. V. E. Machine" and "9. 5. - n. A. S. T. Y. " you start to suspect they might not even know what an acronym is, and just think punctuating stuff looks badass.
There’s nothing like trying to do the impossible. With a genre that’s been kicking around in some form since the early 1970s, distilling its essence into 25 essential tracks is essentially ridiculous. Because there are so few slots, i established the rule that there could only be one track per band, except for black sabbath and metallica because i make the rules and i like to be arbitrary.

This past week in an interview with jim farber for the daily news, keith richards made some ornery, old-guy cranky statements about the beatles, rap, and heavy metal. First of all, there’s no reason to waste any ink discussing what he said about rap. His comments echo the thoughts of any senior citizen in a cop bar in staten island, and can be explained by indifference, lack of familiarity with the genre and generational confusion. No big deal. Seriously, i would assume any 72-year-old guy who claimed to “get†rap was just lying.

Dog Eat Dog: Band Makeup
The story of gwar is carved across the history of this barren and hopeless planet, but gwar themselves are not of this world… their story begins in the deepest reaches of outer space. Long ago, the beings who would become the rock band gwar were part of an elite fighting force, the scumdogs of the universe. For eons, they served as thralls to a supreme being known only as the master. But one by one, each future member of the band earned a glaring reputation for being an intergalactic fuck-up. And so, they were banished, sent away on a fool’s errand to conquer an insignificant shitball floating in a dark corner of the universe; the planet earth. Once here, gwar shaped the face of the globe, destroying and rebuilding the natural world, and giving rise to all of human history. Aliens to some, gods and demons to others, our erstwhile scumdogs fucked apes to create the human race, and this fateful unplanned pregnancy would prove to be truly disastrous!.

That Made Me "rock" Hard, I'll Take My Leave Now Thank You
The marine corps’ correctional custody units want to open a sort of non-judicial punishment camp on the japanese island of okinawa. The purpose is to give commanders a place to send redeemable marine who mess up for the first time in their career. In the military, we joke (sometimes not so jokingly) about the idea of “turning big rocks into little rocks†when we talk about getting caught committing a crime while in the service. Don’t worry — no one actually commits the crime they’re joking about. But what isn’t a joke is hard labor imposed by a military prison sentence. Now, even troops with article 15 can be forced to turn big rocks into little rocks.
Production: familiar like an old room, not crisp but fits the ear well. Review: as the new decade of the 1980s dawned, rock music had already become stale after lapsing into the usual hybrid of liberal altruism and capitalist self interest in the 1970s, revealing its sold-out principles: instead of prophets of a new age, these rockers were like everyone else, out to get what they could and split. The only genres left with any spirit of life were the rising electronic-industrial scene, punk hardcore, and the quasi-underground nwobhm.
