Hell! Satan!

A collection of every time Slayer has said “Satan” and “Hell” in their self-written studio albums (does not include covers).

Rock Bottom

UFO is another one of those criminally underrated 70’s bands.
A good example of their power is this live 1973 performance of Rock Bottom in Germany. This video showcases how they can “freak out the squares” starting at 1:05.

KARP

Karp are one of my all time favorite bands. They also put on one of the loudest performances I’ve ever attended. Anyway, above is a trailer for an upcoming documentary on Karp…but when’s it coming out?
According to Wikipedia:

NY-based documentarian Bill Badgley (from the rock band Federation X) is currently at work on a Karp documentary, due out sometime in late 2008/early 2009.

The Monks

The Monks live in 1966.

Anvil

At 14, Toronto school friends Steve “Lips” Kudlow and Robb Reiner made a pact to rock together forever. Their band, Anvil, went on to become the “demigods of Canadian metal,” releasing one of the heaviest albums in metal history, 1982’s Metal on Metal. The album influenced a musical generation, including Metallica, Slayer, and Anthrax, that went on to sell millions of records. But Anvil’s career took a different path – straight to obscurity.

Picking up on their story 26 years later, director Sacha Gervasi has concocted an achingly touching and often hilarious account of Anvil’s last-ditch quest for elusive fame and fortune. Not since Metallica: Some Kind of Monster has such an incredibly raw, candid, hearbreaking and truly inspirational story been captured on film. At its core, Anvil! The True Story of Anvil is a timeless tale of survival and the unadulterated passion it takes to follow your dream, year after year. Anvil rocks – it has no other choice.

In the words of Rolling Stone: Some of the scenes in Anvil are so outrageous, it feels like this must be a Spinal Tap sequel. It isn’t. These guys are for real.’

Synced in the Closet

I think there’s a pattern here….Chapters 1-12 of R. Kelly’s Trapped In The Closet Synced and Played Simultaneously.
