I'll go with it. I am trying to expand the Metal Association thread to include all kinds of hard rock, since strictly metal I've found out is rather limiting.

I think I remember their cover a while back!

Running Free --by Iron Maiden.

Haha- nice. Thanks.:) :cool:

Here's one more in the metal genre...:)

Out Of the Silent Planet --by Iron Maiden.

Is that Iron Maiden song actually in reference to the C.S. Lewis book of the same name ("Out of the Silent Planet"- first in Lewis' Space Trilogy)? If so, that's totally awesome!:) :cool:

Distance to Planets by Norma Jean:) :cool:

I looked up the meanings to the lyrics and it wouldn't have surprised me if they had made a reference to his book, but it seems that they may have borrowed it from an old sci-fi movie 'Forbidden Planet'. The band is very literature-oriented and C.S. Lewis was very influential. It would have been a cool song concept to have a theme based on the introduction of evil to extra-terrestrial races, as I learned to book series was about.


The Loneliness Of the Long Distance Runner --by Iron Maiden

Thanks for the info- that's cool. Yeah, a lot of metal bands have some deep lyrics- or deeper than many might think.:) :cool:

When I saw that Iron Maiden song, the first song for association that came to mind for me is "Long Distance Runner" by DeGarmo & Key, but I think that one would be really, really pushing it for the category of metal- lol.:lol:
(Though it is a great song and band, of course.)

How about "You Won't Be Lonely" by Stryper? Close enough for the association?

Of course we'll include it!! They were definitely metal--of the Sunset Strip variety in 1984. It was a power ballad. Stryper weren't the first to do Christian metal, but probably the first to do it in spandex. :D

Lonely Nights - Scorpions

Lonely Is the Word --by Black Sabbath.

Well, I meant, "Is 'lonely' close enough to 'loneliness' to work?", but okay.:)
Yeah, Stryper is definitely the premiere name in Christian metal as far as I'm concerned. I don't know if you're aware, but they reunited some years ago and have been putting out some incredible new albums! Yep- the band's been around since 1984 and they don't wear the spandex they had back then anymore- lol (I think they do still give out Bibles to concert-goers though, but I don't know if they throw them into the crowd anymore- haha.)
I've been a fan of Stryper for many years and I love all the 1980s albums and I've also really loved all the new albums they've put out since rebanding in 2005. I got to see them on their reunion tour back in 2005 as well and that was way cool!:) :cool: If you want the full experience, you really have to see them on tour. And if you dig Stryper, check out their new album "No More Hell to Pay"- it rocks! Musically, it's still classic Stryper and lyrically they have matured a lot- but still with a very much in-your-face message about Jesus and His love.:) :cool:

Oh yeah-

"Mark My Words" by P.O.D.:) :cool:

Fool For The City - Foghat (Is Fogat considered Metal?)
Not necessarily, hard rock most likely, but the interesting thing about bands in the '70's was that often it was hard to tell what was metal and what wasn't. The understanding was that if something was hard rock (other than punk), it was "heavy metal". I would include "Fool For the City". Considering the other pop fluff that dominated the charts in the mid-70's, Foghat were a total breath of fresh air. And also, "SLOW RIDE--TAKE IT EASY!!!!" :cool:

I've included other 70's acts loosely tied into metal in this thread.


Forbidden City --by Marty Friedman.

Big City Nights - Scorpions

The Big Money --by Rush.

(Some of the bands I'm not always certain about like Fogat and Blue Oyster Cult)


What Do You Do For Money Honey - AC/DC

(Some of the bands I'm not always certain about like Fogat and Blue Oyster Cult)


What Do You Do For Money Honey - AC/DC
Actually, over forty years ago, Blue Oyster Cult was labelled as "the American Black Sabbath", especially when their song "Cities On Flame With Rock and Roll" mimicked
"The Wizard" by Black Sabbath. They were heavy for their time in the early 70's. Their lyrics were very sci-fi, like those of Sabbath.

By-Tor and the Snow Dog --by Rush.


^Interestingly, there are actually two bands by the name Coven; one is the late 60's/early 70's band who had a pop hit, "One Tin Soldier", before getting into dark proto-metal similar to Black Sabbath. The other was a late 80's thrash metal band from Seattle which specialized in controversy as satire on albums such as "Blessed Is the Black".


This is my 27,666th post. I congratulate me. :rock: :notworthy :devil:

^ (Didn't know that, is "One Tin Soldier" the song from the Billy Jack movie?)

Night Comes Down - Judas Priest

Love Comes Down --by Rez Band.

This band predated Stryper in creating Christian heavy metal, and this song in particular was released as a single/video in 1985, though it clearly mimicked the opening riff of "Whole Lotta Rosie" by AC/DC.

Rez Band- Awesome! Now that's some classic Christian rock/heavy metal. (Though I have to be honest- I've never really thought of them as metal so much...but yeah- I guess they were- or as metal as it got in those days... some of the metal styles were still being invented)- Definitely a cool band though.:) :cool:

^Sad fact about Roger Martinez, formerly of Vengeance Rising. He had the most perfect death-metal voice about 25 years ago. But he had problems with releasing the band's music, getting into some sort of financial difficulties and eventually abandoning Christian music and Christianity altogether. The first Vengeance Rising album was pretty awesome, though.
