Friday Top 10: Heaviest albums of all time
Just a couple of weeks ago, the UK's Kerrang magazine counted down their top 10 heaviest albums of all time. The thing is with Kerrang's list, though, was I just couldn't really agree with it. I mean they had The Beatles in the top 10! It was obvious the list was a bit of a joke, so I decided I would put together my own top 10. A top 10 that was just a bit more credible, serious, and would appeal more to so called "real" metalheads.
So to the elite, for real fans of Metal, this top 10 is for you. I hope ya'll enjoy it, yo.
Friday Top 10: Black Sabbath songs (original lineup)
It's official, the original lineup has reformed, back to do it all -- world tour, new album and destroy all that is not Metal. 2012 will no doubt be a fantastic year for meatheads metalheads like me.
Not long ago I counted down the top 10 Sabbath albums, and now, hot off the news that the original lineup are back, it seems like the perfect time to list the top 10 Black Sabbath songs, only this time I'm going to keep it strictly to songs by the original lineup. It just makes sense.
So what are you waiting for? Hurry up and make the jump!
Friday Top 10: Worst grindcore band names
This week we're all about love death: Guido's been keeping your daily dose of death metal on steady supply so far, and I've sort of touched on a "grind" subject in this week's Tuesday Trivia.
I promised I might make a Top 10 out of it (any grind variation included), and I'm a man of my word. I'm also pretty lazy, so this turned to be the perfect Top 10 for me: it's going to be short and disgusting. Read on.
Friday Top 10: Replacements for Lars Ulrich
We've all fantasized about Metallica having a different drummer... Maybe a faster one, a more technical one, one that doesn't sue Napster, that sort of thing.
Since they were supposed to perform tonight in India but didn't, I have ten suggestions for you guys. Ten impressive drummers who would probably own behind a proper kit.
This is a bit different, you'll see, but it will instantly remind you of St. Anger.
Without further ado, here are my top 10 recommendations for Metallica's drummer spot -- should it ever be vacant.
Friday Top 10: Worst band transformations, part 2
Another Friday, another Top 10. Except this one is the same as the last one.
Well, kind of. Continuing from last time, we take a look at ten more examples of band transformations we could have lived without. Note that the list is not really in a particular order, and then make the jump.
Friday Top 10: Worst band transformations
Fresh of the recently debuted Korn's dubstep track, I got an amazing (and very original) idea for a Top 10: let's take a look at some of the most drastic transformations in hard rock and metal.
List is mostly based on music, though we all know metal goes hand in hand with fashion, so we'll feature some of that as well. Read on to find ten examples of some of the most horrific, embarrassing or simply plain stupid transformations, in what is could be the first out of two articles.
Friday Top 10: Ways to be obnoxious at a concert
I don't know about you, but I love seeing bands live. When I do see them live, I don't just sit somewhere and headbang, I watch the show. If I want to act like a retard, I do it at home, or in a designated club... When I see a band live, I literally want to see them live, want to watch them play the songs that I love.
Sounds like a sensible approach, but it's pretty hard doing it with all the fucking obnoxious people around you.
Unfortunately, the genre of music we all know and love attracts a lot of posers, people who go to festivals mainly to 'check in' on foursquare and take a few photos for Facebook. They are there to impress others, they don't even know the band well. Those people get in my way, as do people who act like fucking retards and simply have no respect for the people around them.
Tonight, let us explore ten stereotypical annoying concertgoers. You've all seen them, you've all been annoyed by them. If these things don't ring true, news flash: YOU ARE THE OBNOXIOUS ONE!
Let's make the jump, shall we?
Friday Top 10: Best Judas Priest songs
If you're a loyal reader of Dose of Metal, then you know one of our most exciting aspects of this site is our very own Friday Top 10. When composing a top 10 list for bands, we feel we've covered the most important bands ever: Metallica, Iron Maiden, AC/DC, and most recently, Black Sabbath. That being said, it would only make sense to include a certain band from Birmingham, England, to that list.
Regardless if you like them or not, Judas Priest are one of the greatest and most influential metal bands of all time. Fact. Rob Halford and the boys formed in 1969 and since have released 16 albums (7 or 8 of them are ranked absolute classics in the metal world).
Feel free to complain about 'Breaking The Law,' 'You've Got Another Thing Comin,' and other songs not making the list. Positive or negative comments are always welcomed here at Dose of Metal, so bitch post away!
Okay, it's that time again! So, make the jump....
Friday Top 10: Black Sabbath albums
Black Sabbath... They pretty much invented Metal. They're pretty much the greatest band, ever. So hence why the time has come for myself to count down the Top 10 Black Sabbath albums.
It wasn't an easy task, but I believe I've come up with a list that successfully reflects Sabbath's 10 best albums, and lists them in order of their quality. You can disagree with my Top 10 if you like, or you can get pissed that I'm not limiting it to the Ozzy fronted albums, but you'll be wrong to do so, as everything I say is always right.
So what are you waiting for? Make the jump for this week's Friday Top 10.
Friday Top 10: Bands we’ve written about the most
Since it was our birthday last week, the last Friday Top 10 has been all about us. Meaning we counted down the top 10 articles of ours, based on views.
This week I just feel we need another self-centered, narcissistic article about how much we rule, thus I decided to let you guys know which bands we've written about the most in our year of existence.
I should point out that some of our posts have tagged more than one band, so some of the posts counted for one band may be included in another band's count. Confused? So am I. Basically I just arranged the tags based on post count and made the list. Jeez, you don't have to get all specific on me and shit.
I also want to point out that we've written 2,027 posts as of right now, so yeah, that's why the numbers aren't that big. We've only been up for a year, give us a break man, fuck.
Friday Top 10: Most read DoM articles
It's our birthday tomorrow, that means we'll be exactly 1 year old. So what to do for a Top 10 other than list our 10 most read articles?
It's pretty appropriate, because a lot of the articles in this top are actually 'Friday Top 10s,' which is pretty surprising considering how dumb we are.
Anyway, if you ever wondered what our readers like, this is the most interesting article that you will read tonight. If you are a sensible person with a decent taste in blogging, what the fuck are you doing here?
This top was based on our stats from September 2010 to today, and as a bonus, I've included 10 runner-ups -- This is basically a Top 20.
So yeah, make the jump and let's go!
Friday Top 10: Live videos I enjoy
It's a very slow Friday here at the Dose of Metal office, probably because we don't have one.
Anyway, since we don't have a great Top 10 for today, instead of just not posting one, I've decided to do a half-assed one. Well, everything on this site is half-assed, so this would be more of a 'quarter-assed' article.
So this is a list of ten live videos I enjoy. If you can't cope with so much mediocrity, please understand that it's not our fault our moms drank vodka during our pregnancies.
We also used that photo of a crowd that a reader sent to us, just to show how racially diverse we are, yo.
Friday Top 10: Popular metal videos on YouTube
Hi. So what I did was, I searched for 'metal' on YouTube and then sorted the results by view count. I got a lot of random results that had nothing to do with metal/rock music at all, which I've removed, and then I was left with the 10 most popular metal videos.
Well, technically it's the top 10 most popular search results for the keyword 'metal,' but you get the point.
Is this an educated study of heavy metal popularity and a thorough analysis of viral videos within the very same genre? LULZ, get real, dumbass -- this is Dose Of Metal. I just clicked a few buttons on that crappy video site and then made an article out of it.
Make the jump and witness the mediocrity.
Friday Top 10: Stage incidents
Last week we covered concert riots, and at one point I mentioned I might make a follow up. Here we are, it's Friday Next, and let's see if the sequel is any good.
Make the jump for ten funny, weird or simply fucked up stage incidents.
Friday Top 10: Biggest concert riots
Keeping up with our theme for the week, we're covering all things riots and looting. Luckily, we have a first hand look at the situation via Mark, who's been doing some serious investigative journalism, which will hopefully bring us a Pulitzer, the ultimate goal of the people involved in this website.
Now, while Mark is busy on the frontlines fighting looters and making viral videos out of it (get ready for the premiere next week when we make a Top 10: Metal objects to crack skulls with), I took inspiration from the Tuesday Trivia I made this week to extend the subject matter into a Top 10. Get ready for Top 10 rock and metal concert riot moments we're glad we were too young or too broke to go to.
