***OFFICIAL*** FFA Heavy Music Thread - No banal, anodyne "Dad Rock" BS here.. (1 Viewer)

Prehistoric Croc named after Lemmy

Scientists have named a prehistoric crocodile described as “one of the nastiest sea creatures to have ever inhabited the earth” after late Motorheadfrontman and British heavy metal icon Lemmy Kilmister.

London’s Natural History Museum says the fossil of what’s now known as Lemmysuchus obtusidens was dug up in England in the early 20th century but was incorrectly categorized with other sea crocodiles found in the area.

Researchers recently took another look at the specimen and gave it a new classification and a scientific name of its own.

The fossil is housed at the museum. Curator Lorna Steel suggested it be named after Kilmister, who died in 2015. She says in a statement that “we’d like to think that he would have raised a glass to Lemmysuchus.”

I can dig it! :thumbup:

A lot of times, that's all I want to hear. Just a wall of sound that makes great background music. I mentioned it earlier in the thread when I brought up Deafheaven. Bands that are just noise or shoegazing bands as I learned they are called sometimes. It's a sub-genre that's been around a long time as I think back to bands like Pink Floyd, King Crimson and even ELP, up through Voivod, Godflesh, My Bloody Valentine and newer bands like Pelican. Good stuff! Will def look into them some more. :thumbup:

I'm actually working on some stuff, very slowly as time permits, that is somewhat similar. Just for fun and to let out some creativity. It works for me since I can't play any instruments...lol

Cool. You're creating a band?

Oh, I had pre-show beers too.  In fact, I had 2 vodka & Red Bulls on the drive from my house to Orlando, then hit 2 bars downtown between 2-6 for 3 more V&RBs and about 6-7 beers before another 10-12 pints at the show.  It was a long day and a painful Thursday.

That's an awesome story.  I would have been geeked beyond recognition.  Although I am not the biggest Metallica fan alive now, back in the 80s/90s, I might have been.  I saw them over 20 times on the Justice & Black Album tours alone.  This was my first time seeing them since 2000, though.  Happy to see they (like Maiden) haven't lost their fastball.

I can spot my brother in the Wherever I Man Roam video - he was a college hockey player at the time, and a big dude.  The lights hit and he rushed from the back of the stadium right up to the edge of the stage.  I was small and unable to stick with him in the throng - I ended up on the edges.  Some random chick is sitting on his shoulders and he has a white hat on backward in the video.

That was my second concert ever... amazing stuff.  If there was an opening act, I don't remember it.  That was in Anchorage, AK.

Cool story, I'll have to look for him if I see that video again.

Your memory is accurate. That tour, there was no opening act. It was "An Evening with Metallica" and the opener was a 10 minute video.

That Slayer performance on Fallon was awesome!

My 13 yo boy just walked past while I was watching the video of Slayer on the Tonight Show and asked what it was.  I told him about Slayer, and he replied that he knew what Slayer was, but wanted to know what the Tonight Show was.  Good boy.

Nice!  I wish they were coming our way on this tour, but they are not.  I did see them last year when they toured for just The Astonishing and it was great.  :thumbup:   :thumbup:

That's pretty sweet.  Not to brag ;) , but I have seen them eight times.  Sadly, I never saw them with Kevin Moore, but I saw the lineup with Sherinian once, the 1999-2010 lineup four times (twice on the Metropolis: 2000 tour) and the Mangini lineup now three times. 

Hope your show is a good one!  :hifive:

They are monster musicians. They make Yes sound like The Mentors.

"Pull Me Under" blew my mind when I first heard it. Felt like Rush and Whitesnake had a baby.

 
Repost from Greta Van Fleet thread:

Saw these guys last night at a small club in Covington, KY...across the river from Cincinnati. About 300 people, sold out a month in advance, but called in some favors and got in the door.

Sound was great, but they were kind of low energy, but I will attribute that to being young and the tiny stage. But holy crap people, put away the cell phones...no one wants to see your crappy videos, and they will sit on your phone eating up space. I thought this wouldn't be an issue since I was on the younger spectrum of the crowd at 36, but it was still bad, especially due to the small size of the venue.

They are playing at a music fest in Louisville at the end of September, so I will see how it differs in that setting.
