Cum on Feel the Joys, Boys, its Heavy Metal Magazine’s Music Special!

Mega Concert featuring DJGrantMorrison and stadium liners Motley Crue, Nine Inch Nails, Rob Zombie, et al, and our man Morrison, his own mojo, dishing art and story and lyric and we drink it like mead. Kaboom! Sure it’s an easy sell! Sure you hit it on the head.

I got the concert cover and thought Engs mass ritual was pretty great (you guys watched Metalocalypse? Sure ya have), and the freind of Eddy in Riggs’ “Robot Death” seemed de riguer, like a kick ass tee! Robb Jones’ “Delilah” felt really fresh and new! Funny and musical over in a Marilyn Manson, NIN kinda way!

In each of this months offerings, excepting the excellent and continuing Inki Bilal, offered and individual interpretation of how to represent lyric narrative and Morrison obviously knows what he is doing as we could not have easily gotten such a broad range of expression without some kind of talent and resource.  I felt the furry threat and loss of identity of In Flames’ magickal apocalypse, “When the World Explodes”, smashed the Christmas Tree Ornament 80’s into splinters with Motley Crue’s “Wild Side”, thrilled to the epic savagery of Ozzy Osborne’s comic book destruction, shivered in existential angst through Vamps’ “Calling”, rolled with the post-punk brutality of Hollywood Undead’s “Origins”, lost myself in Boneface’s Gallery, tortured my own muse over Marilyn Manson’s rarified and erudite “Coma White”, revelled in Zombie’s “Living Dead Girl”, became subsumed by grudging determination in “The Way Out is Through/ In the Hills, the Cities”and indignant rage through Gojira’s “Shooting Star”!

I had a great time!

Thanks Gents! BadAss Show!

Griffin, like the monster.
