Is Old School NWOBHM an oxymoron?

Do you think it's reason enough to put pilgrim hats on the emoticons?

Is Old School NWOBHM an oxymoron?


Ooohhhh... a wordy question.

Well, it was the New Wave.. but is now the Old Guard. Hmmmm.. good question indeed. I think that would have to be decided by a linguist, something I'm not.

Do you think it's reason enough to put pilgrim hats on the emoticons?


Yes, yes I do.

Would you prefer this or Kraftwerk?

Iron Maiden.

new wave? but iron maiden's... old.


Well, it's not new now is it.

But the whole genre as a whole is the New Wave Of British Heavy Metal. The best of the post-punk years.

New Wave was better as post-punk pop... Not heavy metal.

How do you feel about Black Sabbath?

New Wave was better as post-punk pop... Not heavy metal.

Better as.. post..punk..pop. Ugh, you're such a Californian.

Sabbath are/were great. But they weren't part of the New Wave.

;D oo boy have we ever had this conversation, me and davey.

i love black sabbath. one of the best bands ever. very simple but that's sorta the point. marshall stacks hadn't been around for very long yet and just letting power chords ring out through em was enough to keep everybody happy back in those days.

Would Motorhead count?

I don't think they were British, though.

I don't think they were British, though.


Motorhead are a British band. I would consider them part of the New Wave, but definatly toward the later end of it. They played with a speed that set them apart from the previous heavy metal bands like Black Sabbath and Deep Purple. That's what the NWOBHM was all about, taking the Heavy Metal roots, adding the speed element that was an ever present in the punk scene and combining them.

Right, Sabbath were part of the original heavy metal scene, in fact, some might say they pioneerd the doom style.

Paul DiAnno was fine on the first album. But can you really see any progression from that most very basic of sounds. Paul DiAnno.. Hallowed Be Thy Name? Naaah.

Are headphones recommended for NWOBHM?

Didn't Def Leppard also come out of the NWOBHM scene?

Will we ever see a second NWOBHM?

Are headphones recommended for NWOBHM?


Oh no Philip.

No, like all other most excellent kinds of music, anything coming from the NWOBHM school should be played at an exceptionally high volume.

Will we ever see a second NWOBHM?


To begin with Def Leppard were indeed pioneers of the NWOBHM style. EMI were torn between taking on either Iron Maiden or Def Leppard (they chose Maiden thankfully). Then they went over to the states and took on a very different style. Essentially 'selling out' (and I don't like to use that phrase too often) by drastically changing their sound to fit in with the L.A scene. i.e hair spray and sparkles.

Although, Love Bites was and is a kick ass song.  ;D

Well, these things all go in cycles. First came the New Wave, then came Thrash, then came Grind, then Black and Death Metal, things then took a progressive turn and now we're seeing a return to the gritter power chord based style with major grind influences.
I don't think there will be a second wave along the same lines, but Heavy Metal is and always has been a British export and I do believe that in the future more great bands will indeed come from Britain.

Is NWOBHM good for sound boxes in cars when driving?

Yeah I'm sure he would!  Personally I prefer Paul's voice but then I'm not a fan of Iron maiden by any stretch of the imagination.  ;D

What do you think of Diamond Head? They were/are my best friend Jen's favourite band in the whole wide world.

Diamond Head are forgotten legends. In much the same way that a lot of popish bands point to the Stones and the Beatles as idols, all manner of metal bands point to Diamond Head as Gods!
They were way ahead of what was going on at the time and were the main pioneers of the New Wave as far as I'm concerned. Without Diamond Head bands like Maiden, Fate, Priest etc wouldn't have got half the recognition they did.. and never mind the influence that Diamond Head had on the blossoming Bay Area thrash scene.

Plus.. Am I Evil is the Bomb! Nuuuuuuuggge.

The NWO were an organisation who's memebrs have included Kevin Nash, Scott Hall, Shawn Michaels and Sean Waltman.. but that's not actually what I'm talking about.

Of course.. I have to say.. nWo - 4 life!

That's a question that dosen't have a clear answer. Without the New Wave there would be no death scene.. at the same time, certain elements in the death scene have gone beyond what was done before. It's a totally different style that can't really be compared.

Yes, I also prefer Black metal over Grindcore. There are some great grind bands but the genre is a closed book really, there's only so many times you can stick a drum machine on max and discuss topics regarding the defilement of dead infants. Black metal is more of a mindset. A northern european, anti-christian mind-set, hellbent on the destruction of Judeo-Christian society.

The britpop invasion force of the 60's sucked major ass, with the exceptions of the Kinks and the Stones (and some others... actually.. everyone but the Beatles.. who sucked major ass - bitch style) Hitlers plan B is yet to be carried out. However, after I managed to find an upside down mirror, I began copying it down... I'm just having trouble finding enough flying attack porcupines.

threw in "zombie nightmare" last night. davey doesn't share the love but that doesn't mean i can't appreciate ZN early and often.

lemmy:

But that's the way I like it baby,
I don't wanna live for ever"

tom servo: "wait, so he's mad because he's losing, but that's the way he likes it?"

actually sums up the lemmy philosophy pretty well, i thought.

I agree with 80% of this statement. I say this because I believe that 80% of The New Kids On The Block were indeed assclowns. However, after they broke up, the remaining 20%, which would be Donnie Wahlberg, went on to earn my respect as an actor. In particular, he won me over with his performance in the HBO mini-series Band of Brothers. I don't know if you've ever seen that mini-series (and if you haven't I give it my highest recommendation), but Donnie Wahlberg was great and it's one of the best films about WWII that I've ever seen.

Is there really such a thing? Or would pondering this question cause you all to do this?

Well.. Ronnie James Dio, I guess you could sort of lump him in with the NW crowd (even though he's not really) he's a pretty boy, so that takes care of that.. you'd have to stick at least a couple of Gibsons with him and a marshall stack.. hmmm, toughie.

This just shows your ignorance.

1) Pantera don't exist anymore.
2) Pantera were in no way a NWOBHM band.. they were from Texas and has their major success in the 90's.
3) One member of the band that was Pantera is dead and another isn't far off.
4) Neither Rex nor Vinnie could be gay, therefor the only one it could be, would be Phil Anselmo. Now, he did spend some time in jail, maybe he got a taste for it.. I dunno.

3) One member of the band that was Pantera is dead and another isn't far off.
4) Neither Rex nor Vinnie could be gay, therefor the only one it could be, would be Phil Anselmo. Now, he did spend some time in jail, maybe he got a taste for it.. I dunno.


Hoookay... Then there WAS a 40% chance that a member of Pantera WAS gay.

However, even though that they weren't gay, I was speaking statistically. Either way, it doesn't matter if they were a NWOBHM band, because this is no longer a thread about NWOBHM.

You've seen to that. Next time you start a thread about... some weird cult you belong to, or your latest peace circle, I'm gonna come in and Nazi Bomb it.

Priest is totally NW.

So would that be classified as 'old' new wave?

I don't know...I get so confused at times...

oh and Rob Halford is one of the best vocalists ever... how did nobody work out he was gay? Wasn't it obvious?


Wasn't obvious to me! Perhaps I wasn't paying enough attention...

Also popular about the same time were Saxon (who I think were lumped within the NWOBHM camp)...very fine band...and they were all butch!

Well.. as butch as the standards of the time allowed. Black leather and spandex dosen't lend it'self to the hard man image.

Although the NWOBHM is essentially the old guard now, when it appeared it was the new wave, getting rid of all that post-punk-pop crap.

What's the current state of metal in the UK right now?  Any good, loud, obnoxious bands there that we might not have heard of over here?

Music scene in the UK is abysmal. All these pussy ass bands with bizare haircuts, acoustic guitars and a melancholoy attitude to life. Just commit suicide already would you.

As per usual it's Teutonics Furor leading the way, German and Scandinavian bands.

There's a 40% chance that a member of Pantera is gay!



And what about the other 60%?
