Yeah fucking great. Who cares. :lol:

+1 Adveser can draw the continuity line all he wants between Little Richard and the verse/chorus stuff he listens to all he wants but it doesn't speak for the whole metal genre.

Fuck Little Richard.
There is no link to metal.
The roots of metal originate in the mid-late 60s, anybody that says otherwise doesn't know their history.
Why stop there? Why not review jump blues, gospel and whatever spirituals influenced Little Richard?
Hell, Jerry Lee Lewis is more "metal" than Little Richard.
Tutti Frutti?
Get the fuck outta here with that shit.

haha, that song was orinally written and played in homosexual clubs, with homoerotic lyrics. But that shit didn't fly too well back in the 50s so they hired a lyricist to re-gear the song.

Which is why it's so influential in metal these days, how else do you explain bands like Agalloch, Dream theater, and Opeth?

Shut up racist! You don't consider non-whites undateable!

Steve: Forgot why I initially didn't like you, thanks for the Opeth/Agalloch to remind me.

A reboot is sometimes necessary, no other reason not like those bands other than the mere fact their music is some of the most trying and boring shit these ears have ever encountered. Faux-artistic sensibilities aside ten minutes from either band is the audio equivalent of watching paint dry.

BITCH!!!!!

Little Richard's influence comes by the way of rockabilly -> punk -> metal. The connection is most obvious in a band like Motorhead, who have many songs that follow the traditional rock'n'roll format pioneered by the likes of LR. They have some metal songs obviously, but most are just high octane rock'n'roll. And that's what LR was back in the day, high octane for his particular time.

HOWEVER .. does it belong on a metal review site, even as one with as little editorial oversight as this one? I can't see how. It could exist as an editorial, or a thoughtful forum post, but as a review it's reeeally stretching it. I must admit when I first saw it, I thought it was some kind of joke.

I mean .. I have to go to other sites to find reviews of stuff like the new Agalloch, yet I don't have to go to another site to read about a wikipedia worthy subject like Little Richard?

I have given this some thought and because boogie is related to rocakbilly and rock n' roll which is related to punk which is related to rock which is related to metal doesn't mean it's suited for this site.

Inb4 someone rattles off and endless list of death/metalcore/deathcore bands you listen to that haven't changed their sound one iota throughout their career.

I haven't mentioned any deathcore bands since I posted about seeing Whitechapel and The acacia strain in the live show thread, so I'm not sure what this is supposed to mean. Aside from this I listen to more than those aforementioned genres, and even the worst moments on a Lividity album, would be more tolberable than Agalloch, Opeth has their moments that I can concede to some extent..

Every so often I re-read this review, and thread, and smile. It's like coming back to a place you visited with an old friend you haven't spoken to in a while, or rewatching a film you loved as a child but haven't thought about in years. I'll tell my future children, aeons beyond; become ungovernable, don't believe propaganda, brush your teeth twice daily and floss, review Little Richard on a site once infamous for its black metal purity.

Same with emperorblackdoom. What the hell was I talking about on this thread? Mr. Pure metalman nonsense I guess.
