What's Spinning 22 - Christian Metal Part 4 | Pop & Hair Metal

[@dwaynegarfield1551]

ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT VIDEO!!!💕🙏🎸👊😎

[@nolifetilmetal1]

Thank you. I miss my friend Dale. 😞

[@daevinbarnes8974]

Dale Huffman is my dad! I miss him. He went to heave in February!

[@nolifetilmetal1]

Hi Dee. I know. I miss him terribly. He was one of my closest friends. I'm glad he is not suffering anymore and is now with his Father in heaven.

[@RHINORyan92]

Damn, that Angelica album ROCKS! The song ONLY A MAN ROCKS!!!

[@nolifetilmetal1]

RHINORyan92 The whole album rocks! Rob Rock is one of the best vocalists ever IMO.

[@RHINORyan92]

He has great vocals!

[@guiltyforgiven7167]

Dale was such a great guy. He inspires me to be a better child of the King in all I do and say. Sure miss seeing his posts and broadcasts.

[@nolifetilmetal1]

I miss him as well brother. Even when he was sick he was there for me and I miss him terribly.

[@TimLeafleaffamilyblog]

The self titled Holy Soldier was the very first cd I ever bought and I still have it. I had most of these on cassette and later found them on cd. The X-Sinner song that reminds me the most of AC/DC is Steppin' on Toes. Great song!

[@nolifetilmetal1]

+Tim Leaf Definitely an AC/DC influence on Steppin' on Toes. The self-titled Holy Soldier is still a killer. Still love it every time I play it. I love the follow-up as well. Nothing they ever did after came close to matching those first two.

[@TimLeafleaffamilyblog]

I couldn't agree more. I wonder what Steven Patrick is up to these days?

[@nolifetilmetal1]

Tim Leaf Last I knew, doing country music.

[@Pkicker3]

Ya I couldn't believe it that he switched to a country sound, but his solo release Red Reign is awesome. Scott do you know much about two Bands: Malicious and Dream Master did they have any Christians in the band?

[@nolifetilmetal1]

***** Agreed.

[@buckfiden6227]

18:47 Whitecross's first CD is their best & the first Christian CD I ever bought. Saw (& met) them in '88.

[@spectrefate]

Scott, what is that playing in the background at 16:00? Sounds like Def Leppard circa Pyromania.....

[@nolifetilmetal1]

X-Sinner "Living on the Edge", the song I was saying could have been a hit for Def Leppard if they had recorded it.

[@bencostello7317]

Very interesting. Love all the info you have Scotty boy!! I'm watching on iPhone so apologies for commenting in dribs and drabs

[@nolifetilmetal1]

Ben Costello No problem.. I watch videos on the iPhone all the time. Appreciate you watching and commenting.

[@bencostello7317]

Yes, I agree with your friend- your room is wicked!! Liked the bass work on the 1st track you featured.

[@VinylPotato]

First I thought that was Lemmy from Motorhead. Anyways, great guest co-host! Great video Scott. I'm glad to see you back and healthy. Take care. Will

[@nolifetilmetal1]

Thank you. I am feeling much better but still waiting on the clots to clear so I can get back to the gym. A guest host with Lemmy would probably leave me speechless, so I'm not sure if that would be a good idea. Haha!

[@Fizzlepop72]

+Scott Waters (ultmetal) Hard to believe he's gone. He made such a contribution to the Rock and metal genres it's just crazy. All those founders of the genre seem to be getting older so it's inevitable I guess.

[@nolifetilmetal1]

Paul Westfall It is inevitable unfortunately. For the living know that they will die.

[@garrapaterorulez5017]

Hope you're doing better Scotty \,,/ Angelica fave tune "Cover Me". FEAR NOT sounds awesomer. They remind me a little like McQueen Street. AGAINST THE LAW all time fave album. stay metal bro JC/Miami

[@nolifetilmetal1]

Ahhh, guess I need to check into McQueen Street. Not familiar with them. Thanks. "Against the Law" is a good album. A couple clunkers on it, like "Not That Kind of Guy", but Rock the Hell Out of You, Against the Law, Caught In the Middle, Lady and even the cover of Shining Star are great.

[@ironsaint]

Scott Waters Don't forget the monster song "All For One" probably the best song on the album!

[@nolifetilmetal1]

I think that Caught in the Middle is probably my favorites, but you are right that All for One is a good one as well.

[@garrapaterorulez5017]

I must agree that ALL FOR ONE is the best song overall in this amazing LP. From the riffs at the beginning to the feedback at the end. stay metal buds ~ JC/Miami

[@mlwsf]

That Rage of Angels still holds up. Hoping that first Guardian record is here though the Gardian Demos were great too. Not a fan of the bluesier stuff with the Tempest singer.

[@noisespektrum5416]

great to know u are feeling better.ya, way more pep in this video, back to the Scott of February, haha. Angelica , wow, forgot about those guys. i think they were from Ottawa. XSinner are great live. Dude, your music rooms blows everyone away. thats killer. cheers man

[@nolifetilmetal1]

Feeling much better, but still struggling a little bit with getting tired and breathing. It'll take a little time to get back on my game, but I'll get there. Thanks for watching brother Lee. (By the way, I bid on a copy of Metanoia's first album on Ebay for you, but I lost it in the last minute. I'll find one eventually.)

[@noisespektrum5416]

hey thanks man. but don't worry about bidding on cds for me. just focus on your recovery. anyhow. u have something coming your way. held onto it a few extra days, bought one of those vinyl mp3 converters and wanted to burn u one of my rarer LPs that never saw a cd or vinyl rerelease and include it in the package. cheers man

[@alexanderscott1087]

I've never liked the 'Hair Metal' portmanteau. I've always felt that good Glam from the 80's was an extension (no pun intended) of 70's Glam; whether that be straight Rock or something a little, or extremely, Metal. Too many purists, IMO, glance over Glam acts of the 80's and late 70's because those bands, in their opinions, weren't 'metal' enough, or had a more Pop image at the time. It might just be an experience associated within my own sphere of influence and understanding, but I still wonder. Anyway, God bless you both for this video. It really brightened my day. Peace, Love, and Rock n' Roll \m/

[@nolifetilmetal1]

Totally agree with what you said about it being an extension of the 70's glam and metal bands. I don't understand being a "purist". I mean, I listen to what I like. I don't care what other people think or say and I certainly don't care if it fits neatly into some "purist" box. Haha! Glad you enjoyed the video Alexander.

[@mariaangelicadossantos886]

No second chances is The most powerful Hard Rock song i've ever heard

[@harmlessrebel868]

Some great choices. Love the Guardian, Stryper, and of course, the Whitecross. I am with you on their first being their best. That Shout keeps coming up. I need to quit messing around and just buy it. Great video!

[@nolifetilmetal1]

Harmless Rebel I am actually of a different opinion than Dale, I like the second album better, but they are both good. Your boy Marty Friedman plays on the second album.

[@blackmorerules]

Both you and Dale were excellent! A few I have never heard, which is great. Totally love this genre. Nice to see X-Sinner/Rage of Angels get the credit they are due. Guardian Power of Love also on that A-level. Stryper is in my Top 5 bands of All-Time.

[@nolifetilmetal1]

Stryper is high on my list as well. Love 'em. Had the chance to open for them on the second Stryper Expo in Anaheim, CA.

[@blackmorerules]

Scott Waters Jeepers, that must have been a total thrill to open for STRYPER!!!

[@buckfiden6227]

21:46 I agree. That fanboyizam among metal fans has always been stupid. I like Stryper & Cannibal Corpse. I kinda like it all.

[@empiresofthelostwithtoby5661]

Rage of angels Eternal rite along with Barren cross was my favorites :)

[@nolifetilmetal1]

Toby Gamble Barren Cross are awesome.

[@jacks2start271]

One of my favorite video's you've done Scott, hitting the 80's/glam/christian bands was a great idea. Rage of Angels is a great sounding band,, big big fan of Steelheart here so the tie in with members works great for me. RIP John Fowler. Listening to Fear Not, new to them but will be looking to pickup it.. X-Sinner could be the Def Leppard clone for sure with there sound.

[@nolifetilmetal1]

I agree about X-Sinner, but everyone calls them an AC/DC clone. Of course the influence is there, but it's like calling Krokus an AC/DC clone. They are not clones, it's just an influence. Yes, check out that Fear Not if you can find a copy. Well worth the investment. Killer production from the Elephante brothers.

[@slamdancer1720]

Miss you Dale.................

[@kurtemeigh]

Man this is bringing back middle school memories. Lol

[@jljohnnysjeeplife]

Wow, Angelica sounds awesome, they pressed on vinyl? Rage of Angels has a Dokken sound, Fear Not rocked a bit too! You just compared Guardian to Bon Jovi? WOW, I never thought I would ever hear you say anything positive about BJ.Great video brother! Lots of info on bands I have never heard of. Consider this a music tutorial! Rock On Brother!

[@nolifetilmetal1]

Yes, that Angelica was pressed on vinyl. A bit rare, but knowing your luck you'll stumble across a copy in your local record store tomorrow. Haha! Angelica released four albums, the other three were only CD releases, but you might pick them up if you ever see them to rock in the car. Rage of Angels was also pressed to vinyl. I have neither on vinyl, just CD. Shout is available on vinyl as well. (BTW, one of those CDs we showed will be coming to you on VINYL as VCLT. Shhhh, it's a secret.)

[@kethdredd]

Scott Waters Walking in Faith had a vinyl release as well, at least according to Discogs.

[@nolifetilmetal1]

Cool. Never seen one.

[@dalehuffman56]

Had a great time doing the video my friend!! Metal Pulse Radio every Thursday Time - 7-9pm (est) Where - www.untombed.com Facebook page - facebook.com/MetalPulseRadio Website - www.metalpulseradio.com

[@nolifetilmetal1]

Dale Huffman So did I. Thanks for hanging out.

[@garyhanis9104]

Great show, but where is Legend?

[@nolifetilmetal1]

Legend would have been a good inclusion as well.

[@garyhanis9104]

Yes, I agree. IMO, Legend's debut is one of the best debut album by a rock band, either secular or Christian. It flat out rocks!

[@kethdredd]

Larry Worely is going to sing on the new Liberty N Justice disc.

[@nolifetilmetal1]

Cool. Thanks for the info. Do you know when it's coming out?

[@kethdredd]

No clue, Justin posted the lineup on CMR.

[@holspa]

Happy you are doing better Scott. Nice video, and nice to see your friend too. Good stuff you showed. I like that SHOUT album too. About X-SINNER, its sounds like two different vocalist on it, one AC/DC influenced and one more like DEF LEPPARD. Good record. I like the first GUARDIAN album a lot and the first recordings under the name of GARDIAN. The second is okay but not my fav. by them. Nice you saw them live a couple of times. Good album by ANGELICA, their best one. The WHITECROSS record is good too but i also prefer the debut or second album. Shame they changed so much, like so many other christian bands did like BRIDE, second KING JAMES etc...but that happend also with many other bands during some parts of the 90s. Fashion boys i would call them, they had the metal heart in a wrong place. Great videoooooooo.

[@nolifetilmetal1]

Thank you René, I am feeling well. Hope to be back to my normal self within a week or two. I agree about Guardian that "First Watch" and the old Gardian demos were some of their best, but I like "Fire & Love" as well. Like I said, it's a heavier version of Bon Jovi. Also agree that the first Angelica was their best. I have to say, it really bugged me that all those bands changed their style in the 1990's when "heavy metal" was considered a dirty word. In fact, it was bands like Holy Soldier and Def Leppard who were claiming, "we were never really a heavy metal band" that inspired me to write the song "Never" on Puppet of Destruction. "What's it worth, what is the cost? Sell myself integrity lost, keeping up with the trends, changing styles in never ends, I was this but now I'm that, never me, deny my past, selling out to the crowds, circle goes around and round...SELLOUT!"

[@holspa]

Scott Waters Great lirics and its exacly the way it was, they were all trying to keep with the trends. Even KISS did so, but sometimes they did it well when they follow the pop trend with DYNASTY but sometimes it went wrong with CARNIVAL... and yes, also DEF LEPPARD did so. I didnt know about HOLY SOLDIER also talking down metal later on. At least you and me, and some others stayed true to traditional hard rock and metal during the 90s, we kept the flame of metal burning and we deserve some respect for that hahaha. Anyway, get perfect soon.

[@cyborgroxx]

Three years later after the video was made and I'm watching it for the first time, lol. Yes! This is my era, and my music. And I don't have any issues with the term "hair metal". I actually enjoy it, lol. My top 20: Holy Soldier (1990) Shout - It Won't Be Long (1988) Stryper - The Yellow And Black Attack (1984) Barren Cross - Atomic Arena (1988) Guardian - First Watch (1989) Rage Of Angels (1989) Tempest - Eye Of The Storm (1989) Neon Cross (1988) Messiah Prophet - Master Of The Metal (1986) Novella - One Big Sky (1991) Whitecross - Triumphant Return (1989) Bloodgood - Rock In A Hard Place (1988) Saint - Too Late For Living (1988) and yes, they went commercial on this release Sacred Warrior - Rebellion (1988) Xalt - Under The Ruins (1990) Eternal Ryte - World Requiem (1990) Angelica - Rock, Stock & Barrel (1991) Malachia - Red Sunrise (1987) Mercy Rule - Overruled (1989) Watchmen - Generation (1989) Other good "rock album's that sounded close to pop metal: Petra - Beyond Belief Liaison (first three album's) Fighter were good on both Legend Seven/Ruscha

[@jamesbolton7156]

Just found your show! Great stuff. I grew up on all of this and could add some great stories of meeting some of these guys, but I have been searching for years for a song I can't recall what the band was. It started out with Carnival music, round and round she goes where she stops nobody knows, then it hit with their music. Any clue? Thanks man! Keep up the great work!

[@nolifetilmetal1]

+James Bolton Oh, that song you are thinking of is "Carnival World" by Seriah. Cool release. Has a bit of an early Crue vibe.

[@jamesbolton7156]

You just ended a 20 year search! You are the man! Thanks so much! I can't find it online but will grab the CD from Amazon that is for sure the voice and the band!

[@nolifetilmetal1]

www.nolifetilmetal.com/seriah.html

[@nolifetilmetal1]

Looks like the CD and cassette are available at reasonable prices on Amazon.

[@jonjor1987]

Scott Waters, Rage of Angels have a 1998 album out too. don't know the name of it, but it sounds good. at least what I've come across on KZbin anyways.

[@nolifetilmetal1]

Really? I've never seen it and it's not listed anywhere on line. There was another band who used that name too on the 90s. I do know that a couple of the members of Rage of Angels went on to form Steelheart.

[@jonjor1987]

I have some of the songs off of the 1998 album from the group in my favorite playlist that I've seen and/or heard within the last week on KZbin. maybe the info that is on KZbin could be wrong I don't know. by the way like what you're doing on your show. yes there is another band I came across a week or so ago with the same name and from what I've heard it is just a side project. they have a 2013 album called "Dreamworld" and it's not that bad either. don't know if they have anything else out before or after the 2013 album.

[@jonjor1987]

Scott Waters, I thought I had it in my favorite playlist but I've added hundreds of songs to it since in the last week so it could be further down on my list. maybe it was a typo when whoever put it up mixed the numbers up instead of 89 they put 98 on it. I did see something on Rage of Angels from the 80's with an album from 1998 though, but it could've been a mix up though.

[@nolifetilmetal1]

jonjor1987 If you find it, let me know. I'm curious.

[@jonjor1987]

Scott Waters, sure will.

[@Greatshortfilms1]

Really great video! Still need that X-Sinner on vinyl! Rage Of Angels sounds great. Have to check them out! Got that Holy Soldier on vinyl. Fear Not sounds really good! Need to find a copy. Got the first two Shout albums on vinyl. Love that Guardian album. Still need that Whitecross album. Never heard of Eternal Ryte either. Should be right up my alley! :-) Just an amazing video! Cheers Kenneth

[@nolifetilmetal1]

Yes, Eternal Ryte would be right up your alley Kenneth. I do believe it was released on vinyl on Pure Metal Records in 1990. I would love to have Rage of Angels and Holy Soldier on vinyl, but even the CDs are pretty rare. Thanks for watching. So glad you enjoyed it.

[@coolnegative]

Fear Not was Love Life. Personally i preferred the first album. it wasn't as slick or professional, but Fear Not was way over produced and had that quintessential Elephante churn out cookie cutter sound. don't get me wrong, loved a ton of Packaderm stuff, but after a few years, it all started sounding the same. if you boiled down all their stuff you would have the very generic sound summed up in that album. What i liked about the first album is that it was the closest thing that Christian metal had to Slaughter. I used tons of mix tapes as ministry tools in high school, and eveyone was into Slaughter. I think a couple of honorable mentions should be Siloam and Messiah Profit Band.....Master of the Metal is still an AMAZING album! I am sure you guys also know that Chuck King was also one of the founding members of Idle Cure, who were awesome.....until Chuck left the band!!! glad you gave him a proper that guy rocks!!!!. also P.K. Mitchel, Jeff Scheetz,, and One Bad Pig. What can I say, I was a Christian metal junkie....Saint,B.C., Bride...dudes... Snakes in the Playground gets my vote for all time at your throat straight up street level down and dirty Rock-N-Roll!!! sorry, i'll try to stop now... -777- \ii/_

[@nolifetilmetal1]

Yes, you are correct. Fear Not was Love Life. I liked both albums, but I really felt the song writing and vocals were better on the second album. I agree that the first had a rawer production. The Elephante's tended to make everything sound so slick. I thought they did a good job on the second Guardian album. Like you I was a Christian Metal junkie. (Well, I still am.) I have done several of these Christian metal focus videos and have mentioned some of the other bands you mentioned above.

[@coolnegative]

sorry if i made it sound like i was downing the Elephates or Fear Not. I did like Fear Not, I was just really hoping for a stronger more produced Slaughter sound, and when i get in an 80s rock mood Mastedon-Jungle Out There is usually close by! You got to admit though, as time went by you could almost tell something was produced by Packaderm just by the overall sound. Even some of the stuff they did with Petra started to sound that way. When I first heard Fear Not, I was surprised how much it sounded like Guardian.....i'm just sayin' =) Thanx fort he reply brother! God Bless You and keep rockin' for THE Rock! looking forward to watching more of your videos!

[@Fizzlepop72]

Hey Scott you've done so many reviews and retrospectives of metal and rock, mostly thrash, death and heavy metal. What do you think of progressive metal and rock? Just a thought.

[@Fizzlepop72]

Whoops just realized that you made a video for that lol! I'm gonna check that out some time actually!

[@nolifetilmetal1]

+Paul Westfall yes. I did. Let me know what you think.

[@TheOldMan2084]

Fear Not was such a great band. I wish they would have come out just a few years earlier so they could put out a few more albums before alternative rock swept through.

[@nolifetilmetal1]

Agree totally. A lot of great bands coming out in the 1990's were stopped dead by the whole "metal is dead" bullcrap!

[@bencostello7317]

Wonder was the rapper"the D.o.c"? He's awesome, check out "portrait of a masterpiece"

[@nolifetilmetal1]

Ben Costello Yes, the rapper was Alton Hood from D.O.C. (Disciples of Christ). kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y2Oyc4aBbMuqZ9k

[@charllejones6569]

Ok Scott for the record, Shout put out four albums. You guys missed "At the Top of their Lungs." Ps. Pylon is from Switzerland. "

[@nolifetilmetal1]

Thank you. My mistake on Pylon. Several people have pointed it out.

[@deadweight6090]

LOL...reading glasses...Im in the same boat bro.Sucks big time.

[@nolifetilmetal1]

Not anymore. Contacts are the greatest thing ever.

[@5671050]

Cool vid!! Heard of a few of those but I only own a few christian rock bands and they arent metal. Thats for the info.

[@nolifetilmetal1]

Thanks Vince. Glad you enjoyed it. Do you own and Rez or Resurrection Band?

[@marcio11730]

HAS lot of Christian rock band with great music quality, u make a video showing all cds of Holy Soldier?

[@nolifetilmetal1]

+Marcio Rossi dos Santos Yes, i can make a Holy Soldier video.

[@empiresofthelostwithtoby5661]

cool bands I used to listen to a lot of Christian metal but my life and beliefs have changed so not so much. Great job though

[@nolifetilmetal1]

Toby Gamble Cool. I definitely don't agree with the lyrics on every band I listen to but I definitely can enjoy the music, so I understand where you are coming from.

[@empiresofthelostwithtoby5661]

I agree with you :) I love a song you guys did I think it was called fatal delay or decay forgive me if I forgot its been a long time.

[@nolifetilmetal1]

Fatal Delay. It was on our very first album. It was one of the first songs I had ever written.

[@empiresofthelostwithtoby5661]

you guys put that together very well and i was listening to world of sin just the other day you guys just rock keep up the great work:)

[@nolifetilmetal1]

Thank you.

[@HPTFan]

Next, is Christian Death Metal! Or Life Metal.

[@nolifetilmetal1]

Death Metal for sure!

[@mr.pickle3580]

😊

[@Pkicker3]

X-Sinner awesome band too bad the Elefantes Dino and John at packerderm Records held this band back from recording that album as they actually wanted. I have both covers the secular blood stained wall cover and the lame christian band in front of the wall cover. Rage Of Angels great band I wish they had stuck together and released more then just the one record. They broke up because of the judgemental attitude of the Christian churches! Holy soldier great great band I have the limited edition Leopard skin & Dog tag printed on the CD issue. I have only ever seen two of this issue. I have both Eternyl Rytes cd's the Orig and Roxx Anthology.

[@nolifetilmetal1]

I don't think I have ever seen the other cover. I'll have to google search it.

[@Pkicker3]

I traded an Orig Mass Take you Home cd to a Record collector in Canada for it, thankfully I was able to get another Orig issue Take You Home cd I already had all of Mass's LP and the EP vinyl and then the re issues of it on both retrospect and retroactive CD re issues.

[@Pkicker3]
