Ain't talkin bout love - Van Halen

Zoiks...Eddie's guitar is a bit out of tune here but that's Ok - so was Serge's most of the time when Ragnarok covered this classic :-)

I remember Muppet straining to hit the vocals most of the time!

Accept - Princess of the dawn

Another serious blast from the past :-)

Shit - I spent every Saturday night for like 2 years headbanging to this track when Ragnarok was the resident band at the Irish club ('87 - '89 if I remember correctly). Ahh the memories...

Hey, I just had an idea - I'm gonna try to track down and post copies of all the covers that Ragnarok did in their set - Kinda like an online night at the Irish club but without the stolen beer :-)

Accept - Balls to the wall

OK - so I haven't posted for a while.... sue me!

I was rocking to this on New Years eve and it reminded me what an awesome band Accept was. Sadly, they didn't make it as big as a lot of other bands from the same era in the 80's - but they did some killer albums.

This video is pretty lame, but turn the volume up! The song still kicks some seriouse ass!

Venom - In league with Satan

Still my favorite Venom track! It sounds a bit dated now but it's still great for freaking out non metal heads and scaring the crap out or religious freaks :-)

The classic line up of Chronos, Mantas and Abbadon. Brilliant!

Suicidal Tendancies - You Can't Bring Me Down

Still a brilliant attitude track that's great fun to sing along with when you're in a mood or somebody is giving you uphill.

Rocky George is one of the most under rated guitarists of all time - for some reason his name never comes up when talking about good guitarists in general let alone great trash guitarists, but take a real listen... he's better than a lot of guys who became acclaimed "axe gods"

The thing that should not let it be

OK - so there's no video but the audio is bloody awesome! You need to be a Metallica fan as well as a Beatles fan to really appreciate this and catch all the subtleties.

Although the song is a mash up/parody, you have to admit that these guys are really talented. Apart from managing to sound exactly like Metallica they are real musicians in their own right.

Mambo Kurt - Enter Sandman

I have no idea what it is about Mambo Kurt that makes him so cool!

Let's face it... he plays a crap instrument, he plays it badly, he dresses like a dweeeb, he's an ugly little shite but somehow it's frikken hilarious!

ROCK ON MAMBO KURT :-)

Slayer - Raining blood

"Reign in blood" was (and still is) the greatest thrash metal album of all time. Metallica's first 3 albums were great too, but they sold out. I don't care what anybody says... Load, ReLoad and everything up to an including St Anger just plain sucked!

I haven't been to partial to the latest couple of Slayer albums, but at least they stuck to their guns and didn't try to change their sound for mass commercial appeal!

Tankard - Empty tankard

Tankard is one of those bands that are always great to party to and this is probably thier biggest party song. Definitely thier best crowd participation song!

Anyway - the reason I am posting this here is because "Agro" from South Africa are releasing a cover version on their next album soon (we're shooting the video next Saturday :-) and I wanna be the first to announce it :-)

Gerre from Tankard will even be doing guest vocals! :-)

I'll post a copy of the vid as soon as I get a copy. The new intro and outro's are beautiful!

Gotthard Drum Solo

I just love this frikken' concept! The vocalist appears on a riser in the middle of the crowd to face of against the drummer in a killer drum solo!

Gotthard is one of those bands that are almost criminally unheard of. They are brilliant and deserve to be a lot bigger internationally than what hey are!

Pantera - Cemetery Gates

If memory serves me correctly, this is the track that turned me into a Pantera fan. I was listening to this on the way in to work this morning and it rocks as hard today as it did when it was released!

Megadeth - Symphony of Destruction

Say what you like about Dave Mustaine and his attitude, Megadeth have done some awesome tracks over the years (I was one of the first people to own "Killing is my business" waaaaay back when...)

Symphony... is a brilliant song. I just LOVE that main riff! Reminds me of rocking out at the old Marshall street Doors :-)

BTW - Dave Mustaine is going to be doing a radio show soon. He's promising to play the good old stuff like Merciful Fate, so lets wait and see.

Welcome to South Africaaaargh!!

I first saw these guys at a battle of the bands at Club Image in Jhb back in around '88 when they were still just another punk band. Over the next few years they changed their sound to more of a death metal vibe and actually got pretty good!

They released an album called "Bloed Rivier" which did fairly well on the international scene but they broke up before releasing a follow up.

Xentrix - Ghostbusters

Released way back in '89 - this quirky gimmick song is sadly one of the best known songs by the hugely under rated British band, Xentrix.

"For whose Advantage" and "Dilute to Taste" were really good albums, but "Kin" released in "92 was a really brilliant album that should have brought them huge international fame - but for some reason it was largely overlooked by the media. Things fizzled after that and they broke up (apart from a brief reformation with some new members) which is a real shame. They had the potential to be the British answer to Metallica.

One of the best band ever - period!

This is one of my favourite tracks off of "Poets And Madmen" and I really wish they would do another album! I saw them do this track at Wacken 2002 (with Jeff Waters of guitars :-) and I think that Damond Jiniya is a brilliant vocalist - he handled Zak and Jon's roles perfectly and it's almost criminal that he never got to do an album with the 'tage.

If they ever get around to doing a reunion, I'd love to hear Damond doing some originals of his own - I'm sure he would kick ass on a studio recording.

Nightwish, Phantom of the Opera

I was never a fan of musicals so the thought of a cover of "Phantom of the Opera" didn't really enthrall me.....and then I heard this....

Holy crap!!! Nightwish just rock! This is so awesome it cures hangovers!

The Satan Song

OK - so this isn't really a metal song, but it's about Satan so that's gotta count for something :-)

It has to be one of the funniest songs I have ever heard and I can't wait to hear a metal band do a cover - that will rule!

Actually, anything by Stephen Lynch would make a great cover - this guy is brilliant! Sick and twisted, yes, but brilliant :-)

All we are - Doro and Sabina

Probably the best known song by Doro - with or without Warlock - but joined here by Sabina from Holy Moses.

I'd LOVE to hear a pro recording of this track by this pair! The levels at the gig were badly set for Sabina's mike and as a result her vocals are mostly drowned outm, but it's an owesome track never the less.

OK - so it's not really a proper song.....just the chorus repeated over and over, but it sounds awesome dammit!
