Late in 2015, while surfing the main site, I noticed that there are quite a few "classic" bands/artists not included here at HH. I approached Dan with a listing of artists who I thought should at the very least be considered for inclusion on HH. What we need now is your feedback. Do you feel strongly that any of the following should be included on HH? And on the opposite side of the fence, are there any that you feel absolutely should NOT be included? Have other suggestions? Throw 'em out there!

 

Anywho, enough talkie talkie.... here are the groups/artists:

 

Pink Floyd

Cream

Jimi Hendrix

Amboy Dukes

Blind Faith

Mountain

Trapeze

The Who

Barclay James Harvest

Peter Frampton

Joe Walsh

The Edgar Winter Group

Heavy Metal Kids

Black Sheep (Lou Gramm's first band)

Mama's Pride

Boxer (UK band)

Phoenix

Kenny Loggins

 

I personally feel that Jimi Hendrix, Peter Frampton and Pink Floyd should be included for sure, and we should maybe do something with Kenny Loggins similar to what you see done with Cher on the main site, where we would include only his 80s output that fits on HH...

 

Thoughts? Suggestions? Fire away.

Sorry I'm resurrecting an old thread but I searched for Peter Frampton to see people's opinions. I've recently gotten into him and his 80s stuff definitely is HH material but certainly not his early stuff with Humble Pie and The Herd. I've added a couple of his CDs to test the waters and will add the rest if they're sucessful.

My thoughts on the bands:

Pink Floyd: The only Pink Floyd song I can stomach is Another Brick In The Wall (even if I hate the backing vocals) so I have no real opinion.

Cream: A bit too psychedelic for my taste but they have a couple of good songs. If they're added, Eric Clapton's Derek and the Dominoes should be added too.

Jimi Hendrix: A bit too old in my opinion.

Trapeze: Possibly, but only because of Glenn Hughes.

The Who: I detest The Who so a definite no from me.

What about The Eagles? They seem worthy to me.

 

Pretty interesting. I liked Naughty Naughty as a teenager. Now it reminds me of hanging out at a game room and misbehaving way back then.

I'd never come across the Naughty Naughty song before. Makes me think of that Chuck Berry hit 'wouldn't you like to play with my ding a ling'

 

I never cared much for that song either. (Naughty Naughty I mean; My DIng-a-Ling is beyond awful).

Does anyone here know of this song? The clip is from the 1989 film Fletch Lives starring Chevy Chase. The song is in the first five seconds of the clip. Thanks in advance.

 

 

It would be even more awesome if they got Dizzy Dean involved in some capacity.

 

No it wouldn't, he's shit. Paris and Childs were the main songwriting team from BDH which is their best album and one of my favourites.

 

 

I like that. I agree - I do like the first two, but 'Bite Down Hard' is easily their best album... easily. And Dizzy's voice is an abomination.

Perhaps I was a bit harsh - there are a few great songs on the first two discs but Blackeyed Susan is terrible. I'm also one of the few who thought Springhead Motorshark was decent which is why I just know this new album will be worth the wait.

It would be even more awesome if they got Dizzy Dean involved in some capacity.

Before reading the article I though it might be with Dean Davidson but thankfully it's with Tommy Paris at the helm so I'm actually looking forward to this new release.

All their new stuff is bollocks to me but I'll give it a chance like I always do. They need Marcello back in the band again.

Very sad, I've had some of his songs swirling through my head today. One of the best AOR singers.

Hope it's similar to Karma or their first album but I know the latter is unlikely.

Can't hear the similarity myself. It has sort of the same rhythm but it's essentially a new song.

I had to go with Def Leppard's ballad. I also hate Crazy by Aerosmith.

Without You I neither like nor dislike as it's pretty forgettable.

Any Bon Jovi ballad is awful I think.

I've always loved the Bryan Adams one.

Autograph have reunited with new singer Simon Daniels. Steve Plunkett is not interested and the band plan to play Monsters of Rock cruise in 2014.

Sad news. I love Vixen's first two releases.

All of the information for CD submissions can be gleaned from the internet. Wikipedia, Metal-Archives, Discogs and Allmusic have good information among others.

Here is a partial list of heavy metal bands that are currently not on the Brutal Metal database. Help in adding/submitting CDs is greatly appreciated.

RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS drummer Chad Smith and former VAN HALEN bassist Michael Anthony are in the studio with ex-VAN HALEN singer Sammy Hagar, where the Red Rocker is working on a new album. The three musicians, of course, comprise three-fourths of the lineup of CHICKENFOOT, although they are apparently not making a new CHICKENFOOT record at the moment. Joining them on guitar is Neal Schon of JOURNEY, who also played with Hagar in the early Eighties act HSAS.

Photos from the studio can be found at this location.

Hagar told The Pulse Of Radio a while back why he liked playing with Smith. "Chad just brings a certain amount of intensity with the way he plays that I've just never been in a band with a drummer like that before," he said. "He's like Keith Moon with John Bonham's foot, you know, or something. I don't know what to call him. He's Chad Smith."

In a clip posted online (see below), Hagar calls the current group of musicians a "new and improved" version of HSAS.

The initials of the four musicians' last names also happen to spell out HSAS. The original lineup of that act, which issued one live album in 1984, featured Hagar, Schon, Kenny Aaronson on bass and Michael Shrieve on drums.

CHICKENFOOT, which also includes guitarist Joe Satriani, has released two albums, 2009's self-titled debut and 2011's "Chickenfoot III". Drummer Kenny Aronoff replaced Smith for touring purposes in 2011 when Smith had to return to duty with the RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS.

My review of this:

Thunder were excellent and did a nice mix of old classics and new ones. Danny can still sing and the band sounded tight.

Whitesnake were a disappointment. They did far too much new stuff and the classics they did do weren't my favourites. Coverdale sounds very good for his age though.

Journey were surprisingly outstanding and easily my favourite. The songs were all old classics and Arnel does a perfect job on all of them (maybe too perfect!).

I mainly went for Whitesnake though and was disappointed with them.

Dangerous Toys debut is criminally underrated. The lyrics are hilarious at times (in a good way) and the vocals sound a lot like Axl at times. For sleaze I do prefer Faster Pussycat's and L.A. Guns' debuts however.

RIP. Excellent drummer gone too soon.

She Don't Know Me from the debut is the only ballad by them I like. Never Say Goodbye has a decent melody but the lyrics are embarrassing.

It's not my cup of tea at all but I think it does belong. I don't know under what category it would go though.

Ron Taylor's (ex-Lillian Axe) new project.

Another wimpy release from the group of has beens.
