Vh1's 100 Metal Moments

Recommended Posts

So I was scanning channels last night when this came across my TV screen. Wow, I thought there were some bad lists before.

 

I'm not a metal expert by any means, but wouldn't that guy from Motley Crue who OD'd and came back to life be a bigger "metal moment" than BON JOVI'S HAIR AND PANTS?...

You have to remember that lists are all retarded. I was watching it, found it amusing, but like most mainstream metal lists, it was infested with non-metal stuff. It is basically 100 most shocking moments with random REAL metal acts thrown in there.

I know these lists are dumb, but this is REALLY bad! And you're right about this being another "100 most shocking moments" list.

 

It was just sad seeing some psycho Norway band doing something really fucked up, followed by some chick in a Whitesnake video, or whatever that band was called.

 

Oh, here's another one: Some band took $800 given to them by Blender magazine and bought a donkey -- WTF!?...

I been recording this at night. It's alright. I don't get mad over # placements. I just watch it for the segments and peoples comments. Like most hair metal, it's big dumb entertainment.

 

Speaking of dumb, in July VH1 starts "I Love The 90's."

If the black metal wars didn't win, then this list is wrong.

They shouldn't have done it as a "Top 100 list" because the order that they put the choices in are completely random ... I'd think that things done by the death metal guys in Sweden are more 'metal' than anything Bon Jovi has ever done. Hell, how is Rob Halford coming out of the closet a 'metal moment' at all?!?

 

They should have just done "Heavy Metal's Most Memorable Moments" and been done with it.

Gag. I saw that ad, too.

 

Are they going to even wait until 2010 before launching "I love the 2000's"?!

 

Like I really need to be reminded of '99s pop-culture happenings...

Red Hot Thumbtack In The Eye Posted on Jun 4 2004, 09:13 AM

  Thumbtack ain't gonna be impressed when he sees this list. 

 

He's right you know.

 

This isn't even a musical bias, but the Black Metal incidents involving the band Mayhem in the early-mid 90's is BY FAR the most shocking metal thing ever. Fuck all that other shit. No other style of music created such a fanatical(and honestly...retarded) movement of violence. Church burnings, grave desecrations, robbery, murder threats, and murder.

 

Bard Eithun (original drummer for Emperor) killed a gay man in the park because he wanted to know what it would feel like to kill a man. I'm pretty sure that would take the cake on a list right there.

 

Varg Vikernes(Burzum) burned the Fantoft church and used a picture of the building burning as an album cover. Pretty big fuckin deal given the concervative christian climate in Norway. That would rank highly aswell I think.

 

how about Varg Vikernes having Snorre Ruch (Thorns...amazing musician and inventor of the black metal surf style riff) drive him to Oystein Aarseth's(euronymous...leading man of Mayhem) house to murder him by stabbing him in the head and back 23 times. That's a top 5 on a retard monkey's list...should be number one for anyone else.

 

These Tr00 gr1m n3cr0 fuckers like their pictures. Vocalist for Mayhem, "Dead", showing a brilliant sense of irony swallowed a shotgun barrel and blew his brain out of the top of his head after carving up the blood vessels in his arm. Before anyone else got to him, Euronymous found him. He had his camera and took pictures after briefly rearranging teh scene to position things for a good shot I guess. A guy's brain laying in his lap would be the most he'd need I figure, but whatever. One of these pictures ended up as the album cover to a Mayhem album.

 

Then in a showing of respect and love for his fallen bandmate and friend, he collected parts of his brain to be cooked later in a stew, and picked out small pieces of his skull to be made into necklaces for the rest of the band.

 

The above story has been retold and bastardized over the last decade but it's about as close to the truth as anyone not named Oystein Aarseth know...and he's dead to.

 

Bloody compelling either way. worth a number one spot on a worthless list to.

 

I never get tired of telling these stories.

 

As far as the Gorgoroth ranking goes...it's nothing that hasn't been done a million times before in metal. Mayhem did it better and so did Moonspell when they started. It's only because of teh coincidence about the pope's hometown and all that that makes this remotely interesting.

 

The women they 'crucified' were fucking hot though.

I always thought the whole deal with the Norwegian Black Metal scene of the early 90's would have made an amazing movie (as long as a non-idiot made it). That whole deal was perhaps the most fucked up thing I ever read. Lords of Chaos is an essential book for metal fans.

I don't think Lords Of Chaos is a book only for metal fans. Anyone into true crime or psychology topics would find it quite interesting. The layout of some parts is a bit disjointed, but it gives the deepest look anyone will get into some of the main players in the scene, particularly Varg Vikernes and the Mayhem guys.

such such nonsense

 

it has been discussed on email with some of my friends who arent as into metal as i am and i have to answer or explain things and that's been fun (some of them even want me to put together a better list)..lol i cant believe im getting asked who mayhen and gorgorroth are (know i probably spelled that wrong)

 

i mentioned in another thread that i was shocked that the stuff from lords made it cause of the "more serious" nature of it

and machete have you mentioned that here before? i remember someone saying it about a movie and you are damn right it would be great

 

and how is all that BELOW some idiot lighting his pants on fire

 

other travesties: darkness and a donkey, probot (its killer that he did the album but COME ON!!)

 

the hear n aid video was on vh1 classic on monday finally got that on tape thats so damn cheesy

 

 

"don't think Lords Of Chaos is a book only for metal fans"

yes thumbtack... the wife read it and loved it and could give two shits about any of the scene

 

too bad E! beat VH1 on "I Love the 90s"--not same format but they really covered it all 1st in their 101 reasons the 90s ruled

Speaking of crazy black metal folks, there is a German band called Absurd that killed a boy in the forrest when they were youngsters. When they were released from prison they used a picture of his grave as an album cover.

Around that time they were in contact with Varg Vikernes basically being wannabes and signing on to his whim of the day...I believe this would have been his heathen warrior phase. So yeah, add murder due to hero worship by some impressionable youths. I think they've pretty near covered it all.

 

Speaking of Absurd, if you have a chance to hear their first album, you should. If for no other reason than to hear a punk/black hybrid that has been stripped of all but the bare essential basics that identify the music. necro.
