TDC… RIP Ross The Boss.

[DaveL]

Rest Well Noble Warrior of Rock N Roll!     

 

I forget some of the Manowar catalog but what is that long epic one   Into Glory Ride?    If someone can post it that would be great

Aw, crap. One of my all-time faves.

Dictators: Too ahead of their time

Manowar: Talk about commitment to a bit! Killer metal with a stupidly OTT image.

MWK: "If ya lost some weight, ya might get LAID!" Wisdom for the ages.

RIP, Ross.

Oh no.  All hail Manowar.  Death to false metal.  R.I.P.

I'll go with the Dictators' cover of "Search and Destroy" on Manifest Destiny. Methinks it had canned crowd noise and the guitar solo ain't long but 50 years ago it burned into my brain like a laser.

For Ross: All hail the ridiculousness!

I’m not sure the dude is getting the love that he should.  There are three classic riffs (Ramones, Deadboys and twisted) that you could arguably say were nicked from the dictators go girl crazy.   
 

  And then there’s the Manowar stuff which is out of my league musically.  I’m pretty sure Jack Black listened to some Manowar.

Ahh crap. Early Manowar was one of my faves in high school. Ridiculous image and lyrics, but in retrospect a lot of metal is pretty cringe. Eric Adams was one of the best singers in the genre. RIP

 

PS- Manowar was such a bass guitar driven band, very loud in the mix and lots of 8 string too (and some bizarre lyrical content on this tune!);
