A Year and a Half in the Life of Metallica (1991)
I once, around the Good Year 1989, played the opening riffs off of "Blackened" by Metallica, from an audio cassette (i.e. music recorded on magnetic tape unspooled between two plastic spinners, in a machine specifically designed to do so, called a "tape deck") of their fourth album ....And Justice for All. An aunt of mine, who was into the average arena-rock bands of the era, the Poisons, and Motley Crues, recoiled in horror. "That band SUCKS!" she exclaimed. "They'll never amount to anything!" That was her prediction. Of course, they went on to mega-stardom, success beyond their wildest dreams, becoming one of the top bestselling hard rock/heavy metal bands in recording industry history.

A Edible Playlist
Introduction My last playlist was based on anatomy and is linked at the end of this piece. During one of the songs, “Arms of Mary” by The Sutherland Brothers and Quiver I recalled that my favourite song by the Sutherland Brothers was “The Pie” and that might be a good pretext for another playlist. The fact that one of my friends told me that they keep discovering new music to listen to from these playlists inspired me to create this one.

An Anatomical Playlist
The Intro I was listening to some songs and "Magic Man" by Heart came on, and I thought that could be an interesting theme for a playlist, parts of the body either in the song title or the band name. I will probably miss a lot but I am just going to dive in and see where this takes me.

The Paternity Case Story of Justin Bieber and Mariah Yeater

Is Synyster Gates one of the best guitarist?
Playing guitar is one of the most difficult instruments to play. From the technical level, it’s almost impossible to master, even for experienced musicians. That’s why there are so few who are able to do it at the highest level like Synyster Gates of Avenged Sevenfold. Playing an instrument as difficult as guitar requires a lot of dedication and perseverance, but it also helps if you have some obvious attributes. One of these is absolute hand-eye coordination, which Gates possesses in abundance. Additionally, having good rhythm and timing — something that’s crucial when playing rock music — is another prerequisite. As a final nod in his favor, we can add that he plays with a ton of energy and passion on stage, which translates into great performances when he’s backed up by his band mates. But how does all this help you as a listener? Because if you pay attention to details, you can hear all kinds of little things that other people might miss… Read on to find out!

And Then There Was Pub Rock
Introduction I have been listening to “Goodbye Nashville, Hello Camden Town” which is a compilation of songs that went under the label “Pub Rock”. This was a peculiarity to the UK, and was a reaction to the overblown glam bands and stadium rock excesses that occurred in the thoroughly seventies.
