Does Heavy Metal music benefit from a high end audio system?

Perhaps the definitive answer to what might be considered genuine Heavy Metal can be found here?

or alternatively on Dailymotion if you don't have uBlock and happen to live where it's blocked.

Or perhaps not! 

In any case, don't you think this gem of a comedy really ought to be better known?

If the band is not here, it’s not metal!

Mangle poseurs’



 Learned the hard way, never wear a metal shirt to a punk show.    Took crap all night, pushed down, in the end, bought some arrogant dics a couple beers, were still in contact after 20+ years.    We are all the outcasts, unwanted, long haired, shaved, brothers/sisters.
unite!

Mr. Show

It’s always fun to read a post about the beginnings of heavy metal and nobody even mentions The Misunderstood. I was 12 when I stopped listening to Blue Cheer. Dig around a little fellas. We used to have to do this through mail order. 

Back to the main topic, I think both metal and punk can sound better if the source is better - problem is the majority of music produced in these genres didn’t focus heavily on good production and their listeners at the time didn’t have the equipment to know better. Even worse is garage music. I love me some early sixties garage bands - but my system makes them sound like they are broadcasting from inside the electrical outlet between my speakers. 

Wow, The Misunderstood! Have the lost Acetates cd.sound quality is as suspected, hollow, what seems like a bad transfer, similar to my 4 cd Pat travers set my the “majestic rock” label. Horrible, glad I popped for all the Japanese mini lp reissues few years back, night and day difference,…….anyway back….to.. Their full on guitar solos, when they do them, are pretty ear shattering, NOT in a bad way, it’s like giving a guitar great 20 beers, a couple microdots, and some Jameson chasers. All over the place, with little regard for rhythm or keeping the beat. This is a GOOD THING! they never really had much of a career, lots of 7”s’ I remember children of the sun, in 80, I thought it was a remake by bill Thorpe, no different all together, the Thorpe one is produced better, and makes sense, the Misunderstood one is just, in your face, and a psychedelic (maybe) or the guitar freak, took small lessons from Pete Townsend ( ?? )

Going to dig through some boxes to find one cd now,.
Wow, they were ahead of their time from the earlier sound. They went full on rip, on some songs.not all, if you’ve not heard them, or want to, stay away from “the lost acetates” cd, sq is live from a thin walled aluminum trash can, (on my system anyway)

man, I love it when gems like this are unearthed!…….UNEARTHED,…..WOW, just remembered the Y&T unearthed CDs, if your a fan check them out. Some very good stuff on them, Meniketti is a beast.
thank you.


not that familiar with them, the cd didn’t get much play at all, will investigate my cd further this weekend!
   And give a chance and full listen ,…sober at first, then after a few Negro Modelo beers.
