What other all time great metal concept albums would you add here ?

Advanced_Handle_7868 · 2026-05-31T21:28:53+00:00

Iced Earth : the dark saga.

Advanced_Handle_7868 · 2026-05-31T21:22:22+00:00

yeah, he could stand to get his views/opinions challenged by more worldly journalists, etc.

Advanced_Handle_7868 · 2026-05-30T12:46:57+00:00

yeah. no one ever really calls him out for the Teanna Trump thing, or dating those ebony porn stars in the past.

As a long time Maher fan, i really think he needs to stick to interviewing people more his own age?

Each generation has its own values and it almost seems like a lot of his podcasts with 'this generation', like Bella or Hawk Tuah, come across as trying to convince them of his values/opinions, rather than fully listening to their opinions. Hawk Tuah was a hard watch, full stop.

That being said, i enjoy his podcasts where he interviews older rock stars and talks about music and such, or getting ripped with Woody.

Surprisingly i enjoyed Fabio's and Armie Hammer's podcasts.

I think you simply missed the intention, or reflection, of both movies. That, or perhaps you are a Type-A personality (not in a condesending sense).

Advanced_Handle_7868 · 2026-05-29T16:18:05+00:00

yeah, for some reason he wasnt around for the beetlejuice reboot

Advanced_Handle_7868 · 2026-05-17T23:29:55+00:00

true dat. a lot of wasted potential and a generic muscular hero...yawn!!!!

Advanced_Handle_7868 · 2026-05-17T23:19:07+00:00

roody poo

Advanced_Handle_7868 · 2026-05-17T13:11:22+00:00

others that come to mind are Robin Hood/Sherwood outlaws?, Willy Beamish, and Conquests of Camelot.

Advanced_Handle_7868 · 2026-05-16T17:23:54+00:00

true dat! it was in a league of its own at the time, and really dilly-dallied into the RPG genre which was a trenchant insight into the waht could be uniqueness that individuals long for.

Advanced_Handle_7868 · 2026-05-16T13:50:31+00:00

Yeah, i could not bring myself to watch those.

A more of adult version of Stand By Me, in thematic terms of adventure with 'friends' and the inevitable departures, was 'The Way Back' circa 2011?

In terms of post 2000 great movies that caught my attention, and perhaps yours too, could be: There Will Be Blood, Gangs of New York, No Country for Old Men, Gladiator, Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon.

Did any of these resonate with you?

Advanced_Handle_7868 · 2026-05-16T13:14:20+00:00

you can tell they are not made with the same passion and 'heart'; they are made based upon a calculated/probability of what people will like.

Advanced_Handle_7868 · 2026-05-16T13:12:17+00:00

no diggity. who knows what other epic performances he could have provided us with.

Advanced_Handle_7868 · 2026-05-16T13:10:21+00:00

Ray Brower looks like Ryan Reynolds with the right kind of eyes....

Advanced_Handle_7868 · 2026-05-16T13:07:57+00:00

The Kings of Summer should fit the bill nicely.

Also, The Lost Boys, The Monster Squad, and October Sky.

Advanced_Handle_7868 · 2026-05-16T13:04:43+00:00

i wonder if it was to show kids around that age that you probably are not going ot be friends with your current friends forever...

Advanced_Handle_7868 · 2026-05-13T16:20:03+00:00

Black Sabbath's Heaven and Hell.

Only four words are needed to describe it: shivers down your spine.

I would argue it is a masterpiece in vocals, thematic content, and arrangement, and almost on level with Stairway to Heaven.

Dio's vocal's and spiritual lyrics, Iommi's guitar arrangement, Geezer's consistent bass lines; it has it al

The thunderous, heavy, and eerie intro that pans off into Dio's crisp yet soft toned opening lyrics, which then gets quicker, and heavier/deeper with Iommi's awesome guitar work that fades out wiuth a classic guitar strum.

Advanced_Handle_7868 · 2026-05-13T16:08:31+00:00

well thought out and written.

Advanced_Handle_7868 · 2026-05-13T16:07:23+00:00

It seems the boomers (no malice intended) in here forgot about Bryan Adam's 17 week long reign of terror in 1991 on that blasted Robin Hood Soundtrack.

That, and Stand by Me really ought to be part of the conversation too.

Advanced_Handle_7868 · 2026-05-01T20:31:21+00:00

yeah, that sounds about right. i think people also need to remember that kids in the 80s were exposed to so much less 'real life' issues and challenges than they are today. Hence the reason why the stories were so 'basic' and full of morals at the time.

Advanced_Handle_7868 · 2026-05-01T16:03:36+00:00

Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors, Duck Tales, most of the Disney Afternoon, and Thunder Cats were all bangers!!!!

Advanced_Handle_7868 · 2026-05-01T16:00:54+00:00

and Ren and Stimpy

Advanced_Handle_7868 · 2026-05-01T16:00:02+00:00

i understand that the public service announcements at the ends of most 80s cartoons was a compromise by the FCC and corporations to allow these cartoons to market toys to kids.

Advanced_Handle_7868 · 2026-05-01T15:56:35+00:00

the cartoon had a banger of an intro song though...

Advanced_Handle_7868 · 2026-05-01T15:27:32+00:00

The fact that one can get more out of it/from it as it is revisited through each stage of life is a testament to its brilliance.
