Metal at the Movies: The Riverbottom Nightmare Band, AKA "The Nightmare"

2011-08-08T21:59:00.001-04:00

The Riverbottom Nightmare Band, also known as "The Nightmare," is the last-minute addition to the talent show in Emmet Otter's Jug-Band Christmas.

The Riverbottom Nightmare Band's repertoire includes the self-referential "Riverbottom Nightmare Band".

When not performing on stage, the band members enjoy breaking traffic laws, riding their snowmobiles, and destroying merchandise.

From : Riverbottom Nightmare Band on MuppetWiki

The band members include:

Chuck Stoat on keyboards (performed by Frank Oz)

Chuck is the stoat gang leader of the Riverbottom Gang and is the keyboard player. He often says he's hungry to scare his friends into doing whatever he wants them to do. He is a very intimidating character and everyone is afraid of him.

Pop-eyed Catfish (performed by Dave Goelz)

Pop-eyed Catfish does backing vocals for the band and swims about in his tank supplying visual accompaniment not unlike a go-go dancer. He often backs up his cohorts' ill-tempered antics by spitting water in someone's face.

Stanley Weasel on guitar (performed by Jerry Nelson)

Stanley Weasel is the guitar player and singer for the Riverbottom Nightmare Band.

Fred Lizard on drums (performed by Richard Hunt)

Fred Lizard plays the drums in the Riverbottom Nightmare Band.

Howard Snake on bass (performed by Jim Henson)

Howard Snake is the bass player of the Riverbottom Nightmare Band.

Lyrics to "River Bottom Nightmare Band" by The River Bottom Nightmare Band

We take what we want
We do anything that we wish
We got no respect
For animal birdy or fish

The grass does not grow
On the places where we stop and stand
River Bottom Nightmare Band

We know we're a mess
But I does not like to be clean
We don't brush our teeth
'Cause our toothache can help us stay mean

We don't wish to learn
But we hate what we don't understand
River Bottom

When you see us comin'
You better startin' runnin'
We're always startin' trouble
And we're happiest when things are outta hand

Rivers are for boilin'
Parties are for spoilin'
We either like to sit and pout
Or else go out and terrorize our land
River Bottom Nightmare Band

We laugh in your face
Or we practice our growl and our sneer
We break up your place
We are dangerous when we are near

And when we are done with our song
Who will get the biggest hand?
Who?
River Bottom Nightmare Band!
River Bottom Nightmare Band!

So amazing!

“Metal is given very extreme respect and great dignity in Botswana,” explains Mosaka. “A metal gig here is like a religious ritual among the metallers, they become very, very delighted or even crazy sometimes whenever there is an upcoming gig. They will spend weeks preparing their leather pants, boots and other metal attire – it’s like they are preparing for war! When the time to gig has arrived, they will make a straight line, move at the same pace, same step, quietly and gently marching to the gig. It’s like they are robots or their spirits are possessed by machines.”

Amazing footage of Ozzy Osborne and Dr. Ruth Westheimer as they enthusiastically co-host "Friday Night Videos", a late night music video show from back in the golden year of 1986. You can see that Dr. Ruth and Ozzy are just vibing off of each other. Efforltlessly riffing ideas, back and forth.. a veritable ping-pong game of wry wit. There's an electricity in the air that is only fully realized when two charismatic icons such as these, choose grace us with their insight and utter genius.

New 8-Bit Metal - Turn Up Your Hearing Aid, Grandpa!

2011-02-04T21:39:00.001-05:00

It's been a while since I've checked out the 8-bit metal scene, and I found some real doozies! Now, I know that a lot of people will "poo-poo" these versions, saying that they are just a novelty, and don't carry the "raw EMOtion" that the humans are so good at expressing. I say that these people are posers, because some of these rock EVEN HARDER than the original, and with robotic perfection to boot! The computer brain is not all liquored-up and/or stoned out of it's skull, the way that most of our favorite performers are! The heavy metal robotic revolution WILL be blogersized! All humans, report to the obliteration zone to be annihilated!

Shater to Release "Heavy Metal" Album!

2011-02-04T14:03:00.005-05:00

*** Breaking News! ***

The Bang Your Head or I'll Rip it Off newsroom has just received word that William Shatner (not to be confused with SHAT) is conspiring to record a pseudo heavy metal space themed album entitled "Seeking Major Tom". Songs that reportedly will be included are Black Sabbath’s "Iron Man", Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody", David Bowie’s "Space Oddity", Foo Fighters "Learn To Fly", and Thomas Dolby’s "She Blinded Me With Science". All of these tunes are rip roaring, head banging metal, to the extreme! I am crossing my fingers for covers of Sodom's "Let's Fight in the Darkness of Hell", and Bathory's "Raise the Dead". Pseudo heavy metal stars to accompany Shatner may include, Peter Frampton, Bootsy Collins, Steve Howe of Yes, Mike Inez, Brian May, Zakk Wylde, and Cronos from Venom.

This isn't Shatner's first foray into the fringes of metal. I'm sure that we all remember his role in the fine film "The Devil's Rain", also starring John Travolta, Ernest Borgnine (as the Devil) and Anton Lavey. A must-see film for any fan of metal.

William Shatner, servant of the Devil!

This will not be his first musical release, or course. In 1968, Shatner released his debut LP "The Transformed Man" to the delight of all.

He also performed a spaced out version of Elton John's Rocket Man...

Shatner's one time partner Leonard Nemoy (aka Spock) released music of his own as well, but even more hippied out, and leaning toward what would later be known as "Hobbit Rock"

Trve Kvlt Metal!

Here's a scene of Spock Jamming with the space hippies on Star Trek.

Origins of the Slayer Hell Awaits LP Cover Art!?

2011-02-03T17:30:00.007-05:00

Somehow, I made the connection between Approaching Centauri by Jean Giraud, aka Moebius, featured in the July 1977 number 4 issue of the fantasy illustration magazine entitled Heavy Metal, and the cover artwork of the Metal Blade Records musical recording of the band Slayer's 1985 release, Hell Awaits! Wikipedia credits Albert Cuellar as the LPs artist.

I wonder what the back-story is with this? I mean did Albert Cuellar just say to himself "fuck it! No ones gunna figure this out, and if they do, they will probably only write about it like twenty five years from now, on some obscure computer based electric fanzine that hasn't even been invented yet, and even then, only the nerdiest of metalheads will even read it". Or maybe he and/or Metal Blade legitimately paid to use the images.

The answer is out there, somewhere. If anyone has any info, please post a comment!

Killing Himself to Live: Scientists Study Ozzy's Freaky Survival

2010-06-24T01:14:00.005-04:00

Elizabeth Scott, Sky News Online
"Scientists are to map Ozzy Osbourne's genetic code in a bid to find out how he is still alive after decades of drug and alcohol abuse... The former Black Sabbath frontman is only one of a few people in the world to have his full genome analysed.... Ozzy, 61, has lived a life that would presumably kill any ordinary person... Even the singer himself cannot understand how he has survived this long, recently describing himself as a medical miracle..."

High Tech Virtual Head Banging

2010-05-25T23:29:00.003-04:00

"Headbang Hero is a music/dance videogame for testing and improving your headbanging prowess.

You are awarded points for your personal headbanging choreography... but you should be aware that your health is at risk! To stress this point Headbang Hero also analyses how hazardous your performance is. Using a wireless motion-sensing wig as game interface, anyone - regardless of how much hair they have - can become a Headbang Hero!

To know more about how to headbang Wikipedia has a fairly comprehensive article about headbanging, which you can access by clicking here.

A special wig is used as a game controller, feeding motion data to the game software. The game then analyses in real time how well is the player's headbanging following the rhythm of the music.

The game keeps track of two distinct aspects of the player's performance. The first is the player's (potentially heroic) sense of style and rhythm as he headbangs along to the music. The second is the amount of health damage the player is causing himself in the quest to become a hero. Opposingly to what happens in games where the player is in control of an avatar, in Headbang Hero what matters is the player's own health.

When the game ends the player receives a printed health report based on his performance analysis. Included in this report are tips on how to improve the performance and advice on how to avoid injuries." ... stolen from: http://www.headbanghero.com

Tons of pictures, and tons of words for you to be reading from it. When this sells out, you KNOW it's going to be on eBay, going for mad loot. Shoot, I should by a few more copies as an investment.

You can thank bands like Gwar, Slipknot, Kiss, Coq Roq, and every Black Metal band for Hevisaurus. Rumored band members include (former?) members of Dio's band and Sonata Arctica(?) Consider this a Heavy Metal version of Hip Hop Harry. I imagine that the band that recorded the music does not actually get into these sweaty smelly rubber suits and play to the kids. I'm sure that these are amusement park actors and/or furry fetishists, hired for scale wages.... Whoa! Strike that last statement!

The year is 1990. Heavy Metal has been outlawed. Only one sport remains... SURVIVAL. Mutants roam the wasteland, looking for fuel to power their war machines of destruction. Greed and war has left the planet ravaged. Men are like animals. The actual animals have grown huge, and deformed from massive doses of radiation. All vehicles must be covered with armor to protect them from spears and various spiked weapons. If any female humans are to be found, they are often scantily clad in rat pelts. You have now entered the forbidden zone...

"Everybody F**ks in Pig’s Blood"

2010-03-25T01:20:00.003-04:00

The story of a young man's introduction to the song Black Sabbath, from the album Black Sabbath, performed by the band ... Black Sabbath.

“Black Sabbath perform real Black Masses and they kill animals for sacrifice. You know what a Black Mass is? ... Not just that, they have orgies, too. F**king blood orgies, man,” Rick continued while smoke streamed from what seemed like every orifice in his head. “They get all these women high and then everybody f**ks in pig’s blood. That’s how you worship Satan. My brother, Chuck, has been to a Black Mass. He said they killed pigs and chickens and goats and all the women were naked. He drank real blood. That’s a f**king Black Mass.”

“Wow.” I was properly impressed.

LONE RAGER - "Metal RAPsody"

I would like to kick off this video jam, with one that dares you to make it through the entire song. A song intended to make a case for the movement of independent label metal bands onto the major labels, by showing metal lineage through rock history, AND the diversification of the scene. Brutally unlistenable. Instead of taking the most obvious path, The "Lone Rager" was recorded as a metalized rap song. The first Rap/Metal crossover? To relieve the listener from this tedious master of ceremonies, we refrain to the off-tune chorus of robotic chanting children, repeating their evil slogan.

TOXIC HOLOCAUST - "Nuke the Cross"

In the vein of K.I.S.S. (keep it simple stupid!) Not unlike the alchemists of yore, Toxic Holocaust pick and choose choice style elements for their cauldron of metal. It amazes me that I am so old, that this type of music is considered retro.

HEAVY LOAD - "Daybreak Ecstasy"

I don't know anything about Heavy Load. I probably dismissed them due to their annoyingly unscary logo. This song is really some tough metal, after you make it through the many guitar, bass and drum solos. You know I'll be hopping on eBay later to bid on a couple of raccoon tails!

AXEGRINDER - "Rise of the Serpent Men"

Weird song! Starts off like a poppy kind of art rock song for the first minute and a half. Not very Axegrinderish, I'm thinking. The song develops into reverb laden thrash that actually gets quite intense. The band simply falls apart several times, which is unsettling. At some point I actual feared that these "serpent men" were a legitimate threat!

JUDAS PRIEST - "Victim of Changes"

I dare you not to bang you head, poser! I WILL RIP IT OFF!

MAYHEM - "Freezing Moon" (Sims 2)

I'm not too up on the video games very much lately, or black metal either for that matter! I guess that they are now joined together. I know that Mayhem is a black metal band. I know that Sims is a video game where you walk around and interact with other nerds, and computer geeks. I guess you pay "credits" to see the virtual Mayhem? I find this more interesting than the real band somehow.

RAZOR - "Shotgun Justice"

The singer smiling throughout this video really upsets me on a primal level. Filmed in part through the moonroof of a Datsun Nissan Pulsar NX. The epic moment of "This is how a scumbag dies!" alone, makes this video worth watching at least once.

Samson - Biceps of Steel

A true metal mini-movie. Samson's roadie "Thunderstick" saves the day with his Herculean strength. I think I spot a few of those legendary home-made guitars that were a topic of this post. I like how the drummer is totally insane and has to be caged. Not unlike Raven's drummer Whacko or The Muppets drummer Animal.

Slayer and Stryper swap singers for new Reality Show.

According to Kerry King, guitarist, for Slayer, the band plans to “Show no mercy” towards Michael Sweet, singer for Stryper.
“We’re going to force evil down his goddamn throat. We’re going to make him feel pain like he’s never felt before. We’re going to get him wasted, laid and leave him on the side of the railroad tracks with nothing on but a leaf to cover his genitals. Of course, that’s after we allow all the wild animals to take bites out of him, giving him rabies and causing him to suffer greatly.”

Warhammer

"Warhammer are an extremely fanatic tribute-band to Hellhammer. In interviews they often talked about how they spent years to gather the proper equipment to resemble the production (guitar tone, bass tone, drum sound etc.) as perfectly as possible, and - despite the albums' popularity - they often disown their earlier material for not sounding similar enough to Hellhammer." - from

Attila (1970) ... Billy Joel

2009-11-30T22:05:00.008-05:00

"...sounds like a fucked up baseball game"

Joel himself has gone on record as describing the album as "psychedelic bullshit"

"I was in a two-man group. We were heavy metal, we were going to destroy the world with amplification, we had titles like 'Godzilla', 'March of the Huns', 'Brain Invasion'. A lot of people think [I] just came out of the piano bar... I did a lot of heavy metal for a while. We had about a dozen gigs and nobody could stay in the room when we were playing. It was too loud. We drove people literally out of clubs."
—Billy Joel, Interview with Billy Joel by Dan Neer in 1985

Q: Is it true that after the failure of [your heavy metal band] Attila you tried to kill yourself by drinking a bottle of furniture polish?
A: That’s true. Yeah, I was suicidal. I was 21. It’s a tough age. Things hit you really hard. A relationship with a girl had ended and I was devastated, and then it didn’t work out with the recording we did, and I just figured the world didn’t need another failed musician. You take yourself so seriously—you’ve got your head so far up your ass you can’t see straight.

Q: But why did you use furniture polish?
A: I was just lookin’ for poison. I looked in my mother’s closet and there was bleach, and it had the skull and crossbones, and then there was furniture polish. And at the time I thought, Well, the furniture polish will probably taste better than the bleach, so I’ll drink the furniture polish. And all I ended up doing was farting furniture polish for a couple of days and polishing my mother’s chairs.

Heavy Metal Gangs of Wadeye

The Judas Priest Boys, the Slayer Mob and the Metallica Gang.

Gang violence has turned the remote Aboriginal community of Wadeye, Australia into a war zone
"Scores of Aborigines have fled their homes and are living in squalid refugee-like camps as two rival gangs, the Evil Warriors and the Judas Priests, fight for control of the Northern Territory's largest black town.

Even the gang leaders have voiced concern. "Somebody's going to die," said Gregory Narndu, 32, a leader of the Evil Warriors. "What can we do? That other mob attacks us with rocks, boulders, spears and anything else they can get hold of."

The rioters have caused more than $450,000 worth of damage to houses and other property."
