I'm back again for another day of earbleeding tunes. Yesterday was Balzac day, today is going to be something different. You might want to check your volume and turn it up a bit. That's the way these genres should be played. I hate name like Metalcore, Blackmetal and even Mathmetal (who the hell brought up that name?) It's either Hardcore or Metal and today it's exactly that. Hardcore and Metal day. I'm gonna post a couple of bands here. One band gets my main attention but I'll top it off with some other bands too.

Ready or not, here we go!






The first slot and main spot of today's DTunes is reserved for New York's legendary Hardcore/Thrash titans, AGNOSTIC FRONT. They're not the first band in the genre but they're definitely the longest around. Founded back in 1982 by Vinnie Stigma. They took a break for 5 years but they came back in 1997. They pretty much change their line-up with every new album except for two members. Founder and guitar player Vinnie Stigma and singer Roger Miret. Today's line-up:

Pokey - Drums, Joseph James - Guitar, Roger Miret - Vocals, Vinnie Stigma - Guitar, Mike Gallo - Bass

I can honestly say I've seen them every time they performed in The Netherlands. They've visited us every year since 1997. I also have every album on either CD or Vinyl. A lot of pretentious douchebags love to say stuff like "Their new albums are fucking crap, I only like their early work". Which happens a lot with bands that are around for a substantial amount of time (Misfits, Iron Maiden etc.). You can also find these guys in Video Games: "Every thing new is shit. The NES and Dreamcast is what's it's all about.". True, they're great consoles but that doesn't mean the new generation is shit. I'm not talking any shit about people who truly love the old things. I love my Lynx for instance but I don't love stuff just because it's old. I guess they want to sound intelligent or hardcore or something, I don't know. But what I do know is that Agnostic Front keeps making great albums in fact I think they keep getting better and better. That's why I posted mostly new video's, with the exception of the two bonus video's.

Agnostic Front - Victim in Pain

Live in 1986 on the Cable Access show. This is what is sounded before. Better or Worse? I can't tell. I love everything they've done.

Agnostic Front - Pauly the Bulldog + Crucified

Now this is something special. Agnostic Front performing Live at the Dynamo Festival. Why special? I was there and you can actually see me in the crowd. The Dynamo Festival was the best festival I've ever been to. 3 days of Metal and Hardcore. Pantera was there too. Which says enough. Too bad the festival is dead and buried because of governmental bullshit.

You know Gwar right? Yeah, maybe more by them later. This was a side project composed of members from the metal band GWAR. All members are wearing Police uniforms and they were even opening for GWAR, so basically they were their own supporting act.

That's it for my second night of dTunes. Hope you've enjoyed it as much as I did. More Metal and Hardcore later. Tomorrow it's time for some old fashioned Punk Rock. Hate this crap? No worries. I'm gonna end my week with some soothing music.

Yours,



Takeshi
