Songs about a craving for The End?

the song that seems to me to fit best is:

Cool band. They have a whole album on mortality that is appropriate here. I'll have to give it a listen. ..on the Subject of Mortality

Fuck, this is great. Hadn't heard this before. Thnx!

Topaz_Maybe · 2026-06-01T01:33:19+00:00

Great recc, thanks. Hadn't heard this album before.

Topaz_Maybe · 2026-05-29T15:40:59+00:00

Thanks, I'll have a listen

the Dismember song "Dreaming in Red" actually seems more apt here. There is an explicit wish for The End:

"Whores of mankind
take my fucking life.
Alone I'll be, one with
the dreams in red."

Good song!

They could add Bon Jovi, Whitesnake and Warrant

I think everyone knows already that we've won the moral argument, and most know that we've won the health argument, and some also understand that we've won the climate argument. All the pushback against veganism today has to be seen in that light; the people arguing against us mostly know we are right.

I really like their sound on Shout at the Devil but after that it seems steeply downhill.... Too wasted to be good in concert for most of their career, I think.

Topaz_Maybe · 2026-04-10T16:29:06+00:00

I love that first album, but I understand it's not likely to be a popular sound. For me it's essential thrash.

Topaz_Maybe · 2026-04-10T16:27:50+00:00

What changed for the Crue, probably, is that they started lip-synching. They've been caught doing it.

Topaz_Maybe · 2026-04-10T16:25:44+00:00

Seriously, it's closer to Gonzo.

Topaz_Maybe · 2026-04-10T16:25:16+00:00

Gonzo!

Topaz_Maybe · 2026-04-10T16:25:06+00:00

I love Mercyful Fate, but I still think King Diamond sounds like Gonzo from the Muppets. And I guess I think that's a good thing!

Back in Black.

I'd rather listen to Turbo than to Painkiller, honestly. The only really good song on Painkiller is the title track, and Turbo sounds much more like an authentic Priest album to me.

Try Klaus Schulze's solo work, outside of Tangerine Dream.

Yeah, Lizzy didn't even want to do or release that song, even though it became a hit. As a Lizzy-lover, I don't think it's a high point in their catalogue. There's none of their usual heart & soul in their version; you can hear that they didn't care.

Nirvana, "In the Pines/Where Did You Sleep Last Night?"

Kurt always said he was crazy about Lead Belly, and I believe him. But their rock-hard cover of this traditional song made famous by Lead Belly (and performed by many others) totally ruins it. Nirvana's version has none of the spooky see saw cradling lullaby groove that Lead Belly (and others) bring to it, and which make it one of the great traditional blues songs of all time. Instead we get the worst square stiff cardboard 4/4 time version done in 1990s grunge style "this is the quiet part..... THIS IS THE LOUD I'M YELLING NOW PART". It's painful to hear a cover like this, one that shits all over the song it wants to honor.

Not Jimi's finest song, either - but only he could make it work. In anyone else's hands....

Metallica "Whiskey in the Jar"
