Deep Purple “Burn” was my vote. Looking forward to hearing it on the Daily Doug 😁

2024-05-29 20:26:19 +0000 UTCLots of bands, including some covered in the channel have root influences in Motörhead, it’s sad they don’t get much light on.

2024-05-27 19:18:31 +0000 UTCThere's a great cover version of Burn by prog metal Hungarian band Age of Nemesis. Unfortunately, Coverdale is no Ian Gillan or Roger Glover vocally in the early years.

2024-05-27 16:22:15 +0000 UTCIndeed! Back in the early 1970s, "Metal" did not exist as a genre. I too was 15 when it was released. First heavy rock album I ever heard, and it blew me away, same as the first prog rock album I ever heard (Close to the Edge) did. Back in the day, all those groups - and I would most definitely add in the superb Heep - were "heavy rock". To this day, I cannot place a favourite between DP, Zep, Sabbath or Heep. All are were - are - just chuffing fantastic!

2024-05-26 18:51:08 +0000 UTCVery much one of the underrated bands! Welsh rockers and one of the metal pioneers. Too right about Metallica. One for Doug to look at, for sure?

2024-05-26 18:42:04 +0000 UTCCurrently looking like Deep Purple (my vote) will shade it from Dream Theatre, but either - and indeed, a good few of the others - would be fine! Some great stuff there. My second-best mate at High School (1972-1974) was a huge DP fan. My best mate was a Bowie fan. And him and others disparaged DP. The first DP song I ever heard was "Might Just Take Your Life", in 1974, from the "Burn" album. And I realised my second-best mate had a point! DP one of my very favourite bands.

2024-05-26 18:36:27 +0000 UTCNo love for Budgie? Come on, they are one of the primary influences on thrash bands like Metallica!

2024-05-24 15:17:46 +0000 UTCSo next time, when somebody complains that there is too much metal on the channel, can claim that it's just hard rock? :P :D

2024-05-24 14:00:53 +0000 UTCThe Deep Purble - Burn and Black Sabbath - A National Acrobat videos are actually listed as unavailable for me. Hope they are available in the US, still.
Berniyh
2024-05-24 10:20:09 +0000 UTCAbsolutely - I'm loving them! And really frustrated that for the first time I'll miss the next one because I'll be at a festival actually watching many of them! Don't worry, I have enough to put forward to keep you going until you retire! :)

2024-05-24 08:21:30 +0000 UTCI agree!!
Vihtori Suominen
2024-05-24 07:12:40 +0000 UTCYes!!! You must hear Burn & Paradigm Shift

2024-05-24 03:03:32 +0000 UTCI'm super excited for Dark Eternal Night, but super sad that people didn't vote for Knocked Loose 🙁🙁

2024-05-24 02:20:53 +0000 UTCEulogy is one of the best tool songs out there!!!
Juicymelons
2024-05-23 23:45:33 +0000 UTCIt’s doing really well too!
Pam Norris
2024-05-23 23:45:26 +0000 UTCI’m interested to hear what folks make of 21stC King Crimson: no Mellotron or mystic mythology to be found here.
George Davis-Stewart
2024-05-23 22:44:27 +0000 UTCThat's why I've started doing the Doug on Demand sessions...so that y'all can get some of these deserving bands to me.
R. Douglas Helvering
2024-05-23 22:38:00 +0000 UTCDeep Purple is a 70's Heavy Metal Band and although their stuff may not be as dark and eccentric as some of the later 80's bands, hits like "Child In Time" are still regarded as some of the best of the genre.
Rebecca Walsh
2024-05-23 21:09:08 +0000 UTCI regard Deep Purple as Heavy Rock not Metal, tbh. I'm more a Heavy Rock than Metal fan, so Burn got my vote.
Adrian Goodrich
2024-05-23 20:54:15 +0000 UTCSo happy my FF submission of Symphony X "Evolution" got through here! I didn't think it would make it! As Tamás Polyák says, the whole album is great and worth listening to! And, yes, I have also thought the whole album would be perfect for an Extended Play Lounge! Please give it a vote! :-) The whole album also features musical snippets from Verdi, Mozart, Bach and Bartok in their compositions
Matt B
2024-05-23 18:38:15 +0000 UTCThe Dark Eternal Night is such a banger, I can't wait!
Miranda Spafford
2024-05-23 18:22:32 +0000 UTCI'm afraid to say I didn't submit anything, because all the great music I know that's at least as good as many of the other submissions just wouldn't get upvoted. Which is how we get into this vicious cycle where the well known bands get more well known, and the rest get nowhere.
Trevor Cotterell
2024-05-23 17:27:53 +0000 UTCMetal without Motörhead? They need your votes!!
Chris Gadsby
2024-05-23 16:55:55 +0000 UTCYes, Deep Purple Burn! I was 15 when it came out, and at the time my friends and I considered it heavy metal! In those days, we had arguments as to whether Deep Purple, Black Sabbath or Led Zep was the greatest heavy metal band. Deal with it!
Mark J Moerman
2024-05-23 16:23:35 +0000 UTCDeep purple Burn = metal?? What??
Scott Friedman
2024-05-23 15:39:55 +0000 UTCI really recomment to listen to the whole V: The New Mythology Suite from Symphony X. It may never win a poll, but it's totally worth it listening from beginning to end.
Tamás Polyák
2024-05-23 15:38:55 +0000 UTCThat Symphony X song is part of a concept album, so it's worth considering for Extended Play Lounge.
Brian Begnoche
2024-05-23 15:37:52 +0000 UTCA great variety of metal. This should be fun.
