At the turn of the century Nathan Hamilton was a bright shining star on the Texas alt-country music scene (if only to me), and then later, in 2007, he released the rockin' Six Black Birds, which seems heavily influenced by the music of Alejandro Escovedo. I long ago lost track of him in my abyss, but I'm glad he rolls around once in a while.
No surprise I've been digging @Yambag's playlist and his experience with metal in the 80s/90s. I made and sent him my version of 31 songs/artists from that time frame (+ 1 year in my case). I also badgered him with questions and guesses of what his playlist was. Not going to post anything that might come in the future, but I thought the comparison of the first 7 would be interesting to some others in here as well. I don't think he minds commenting on bands that won't come up because of the alphabetical flow of the playlist.
My first 7 songs:
In My World
Anthrax · Persistence Of Time (30th Anniversary Remaster) · Song · 1990open.spotify.com
Mine Are The Eyes Of God
Corrosion Of Conformity · Blind (Expanded Edition) · Song · 2021
I didn't get as much into the speed/death stuff back then. I did struggle a little bit with putting more grunge/alternative bands on there, but I only included something that I thought had a metal edge to it and went for a song that could be held up as a good example. If it showed up on a list as metal on wiki I at least considered it. I've been enjoying the trip down memory lane and the differences between two versions of the same theme.
Faith No More and Fastway were my guesses for F.No surprise I've been digging @Yambag's playlist and his experience with metal in the 80s/90s. I made and sent him my version of 31 songs/artists from that time frame (+ 1 year in my case

Missed this somehow but wanted to add a few comments as I love this playlist:
-I struggled with whether or not to include "grunge" like AIC, Soundgarden, etc. Decided against it as, for me, the grunge era was a natural break in my music journey where I pretty much strayed away from metal.
-Now that my list is past the letter "F", my biggest miss was Faith No More. I am a huge fan of Angel Dust and would have included something from this album, which I feel still feels unique.
-Most of the ones not included in my list are just for lack of awareness at the time. My listening was pretty much limited to what we found at the local record shop.

I covered the bases, man.
I mentioned to you, but for a peek behind the curtain for all the other MAD31ers: after I sent @Yambag my playlist, he gave me some very infuriating clues as to what is coming up in the playlist and what we might/might not have agreed on with the lists. Main ones were that we had about 1/2 the same artists and 3 songs the same. I proceeded to badger him with another couple shots at his list. Even with more info on his thinking, I was still whiffing. I had Entombed and Exodus (I skipped D and F in my guesses), but that was before Deicide I believe.Faith No More and Fastway were my guesses for F.No surprise I've been digging @Yambag's playlist and his experience with metal in the 80s/90s.

I had Fates Warning and Faith No More there, and Mrs. R. surprised me with the pick. You did it by letter also, huh? I tried to come up with X and couldn't think of anybody but . . . well . . . X, so I skipped the letter. Turns out that wasn't how Yambag was actually doing this, but oh well.
Songs with 125 BPM or more
I could be wrong, but I think the 2nd wave of this conversation took place after the Death pick, and that was when I sent my final guesses. I never got as heavy as Deicide back in my day, so they didn't even cross my mind. Death Angel I had thought about, but I am not overly familiar with them either. My guesses revolved around my thinking from our back and forth that we will agree on some big names, but our differences will be I leaned more hair/grunge and he leaned more death/speed. (again, I don't know the answer to this yet as he didn't specifically verify what I was right about in my guesses) Dokken was skipped because Back for the Attack was '87.
Correct, Anthrax and GnR so far. Love Coma, a nice change of direction that really works.I mentioned to you, but for a peek behind the curtain for all the other MAD31ers: after I sent @Yambag my playlist, he gave me some very infuriating clues as to what is coming up in the playlist and what we might/might not have agreed on with the lists.

I didn't guess GNR for him, but we both have GNR on our playlist. My pick was:
I think that gives us only 2 artists in common after 8 through G (I think?): Anthrax, GnR
I was at the first of those '92 shows with Metallica (and Faith No More) at RFK stadium in DC. GnR were good but Metallica blew their doors off that night. I saw them one other time a few years earlier with Skid Row opening (both great) and then had tickets at some point during the Buckethead years but Axl no-showed, supposedly because he wanted to catch the end of the Knicks' playoff game. Given the show was in Philly, I still can't believe there were only disgruntled rumblings and some minor vandalism instead of a full-scale riot.
That had two meanings: that we matched on 2, and that we were done with the Gs.Correct, Anthrax and GnR so far.

If folks have never seen him, he always puts on a great show and after retiring a few years back, he decided to quit drinking and go back on the road. Plus, REK is good friends with Lyle Lovett from back in their A&M days, which I know earns him bonus points with at least person around these parts.
Holy hell, how have I never seen that before??
Simply amazing.
You either were too young in 1983 or had a life.Holy hell, how have I never seen that before??
I saw them back in '92 in Orlando when they were touring with Metallica and Faith No More. They were last, and they came on almost two hours late.
Par for the course for Axl, unfortunately. I think it was similar at the RFK show - he just didn't give a ####.I saw them back in '92 in Orlando when they were touring with Metallica and Faith No More. They were last, and they came on almost two hours late.
It sure seems that way. I remember Axl was running around the stage wearing hot pants.Par for the course for Axl, unfortunately.

I’ve never heard that term until today.
Did the same thing here when I saw that tour. Plus had a drum, piano and guitar solo.I saw them back in '92 in Orlando when they were touring with Metallica and Faith No More. They were last, and they came on almost two hours late.
I’ve never heard the term “blog band” either.

I definitely spent to way too many $ on stuff that fit that bill. Fratellis - check. Babyshambles - yep. Dogs Die in Hot Cars - shameful nod. Yet I never learned. It's possible I'm the only yank to buy the second Hard Fi cd. And a t-shirt.
Same!My kid was born when I was 40 so I’m still doing the parenting thing
You win. I'm holding a pair of Pipettes with a Dead 60s kicker.
