Friday, February 16: AC/DC, "Squealer"
R.I.P. Ronald Belford "Bon" Scott (1946-1980), Malcolm Young (1953-2017)
Before they blew the doors off with Let There Be Rock, AC/DC was a much slinkier and gnarlier affair.  Yes, they had a way with hooks and groove from the beginning, but there was also a seediness that, while never totally disappearing, did seem to get sanded away a bit and replaced with more mischievous good cheer.  But “Squealer” gave off real menace, beginning with its lurching backbeat and ominous chords and extending to Bon Scott’s threatening whisper and a chorus that wasn’t so much chanted as coughed and belched.  This sounded especially unwashed, even for AC/DC, and actually lent some credence to the perception that these guys really were hooligans that quite possibly worshiped Satan.  It was unkempt and shaggy, and not inconsequentially one of the last times they would sound quite this squalid, since just one year later they would tighten up considerably and begin a remarkable hot streak.

Hiii!! Ufff I don't know how to tell you that I love your take on Floyd. like some bad bad life decisions were taken (THAT SO!!! INTERESTING FOR HIM). Do you think he ever feels ashamed of himself when he looks at Branch's eyes, like "shit, this guy really believes in me" or "he doesn't even know everything I have done"? Like he has some really BIG "Love me Less by Max" vibes
They all really believe in his goodness which is worse

And OH he definitely feels so much shame and regret. I think a big part of why he fell as hard as he did was because he finally didn't have to be his brothers' mediator, and I guess at one point he forgot that he still needed to be the voice of reason for himself. His new band mates encouraging his reckless behavior didn't help. Honestly I personally think young Floyd was a very naive kid and very dependent on his older brothers but his strong empathy gave them all the impression that he was much more mature and independent than he really was...
So yeah... you can imagine that constantly partying, doing drugs and sleeping around wears someone down after a few years. I think Floyd also went gray like Branch (not for as long tho) and he broke up with the band wanting to go home badly, but he was also ashamed of showing his face after a number of years as a gray drug addict, so he kind of just ended up alone...
If we're sharing songs, I have to show you this one by Linkin Park because I think Floyd wrote it for Branch (and the rest of his family (and some parts also addressing himself)) while he was at that desperate and lonely period because I am also extremely emo

I could recognize him by touch alone, by smell; I would know him blind, by the way his breaths came and his feet struck the earth. I would know him in death, at the end of the world.

Flimsy as it is, it's business like
You shake my hand
You break up the band

Friday, April 12: Dio, "Breathless"
R.I.P. Ronnie James Dio (1942-2010), Jimmy Bain (1947-2016)
Ronnie James Dio sang with two major acts before striking out on his own, but the success of Holy Diver gave him license to fully unleash his id on The Last in Line.  And while the second Dio album was mostly a logical continuation of its predecessor, there was enough randomness generated by the man going all-in on his preoccupations and tics that something like “Breathless”, which began with a simultaneously bluesy and gnarled Vivian Campbell riff before Ronnie barged in with “No No No No No!!!”, stood out in all sorts of ways, not all of them good.  The track was a rocker driven by Vinny Appice’s blocky percussion and Jimmy Bain’s bass, with Campbell’s guitar more like window dressing (certainly a point of contention for the increasingly malcontent future Whitesnake and Def Leppard axeman), though of course there was no suppressing the power and passion of Ronnie’s growl, even if one was rarely sure about what he was really going on about.  “Breathless” was awesome and ridiculous in equal measure, and nobody would expect anything less from prime Dio.

if there are any Tolkien nerds who are also metalheads around here then hold onto your seats because I'm about to blow your minds.
The schedules so happened to align that I went to a Wind Rose concert and a Blind Guardian concert the very same weekend. One day I'm there shouting and stomping, yelling about the sons of Durin and then the next day I'm screaming at the top of my lungs about Fingolfin fighting Morgoth.
TELL ME THIS IS NOT THE MOST INCREDIBLE THING THAT EVER HAPPENED
