Metal Pet Peeves

[Eoin McLove]

Pete Steele was a fantastic lyricist.

[Pedrito]

His lyrics on Wolf Moon were excellent

In the light of the day
You can hear the old ones say
Was the sound last night the wind?
Can you feel the change begin?

By the fall of the snow
A single soul will go
The footsteps on the white
There's an unholy light

There's a hole in the sky
Something evil's passing by
What's to come when the siren calls you go
To run with the wolf?


The 28th day
She'll be bleeding again
And in lupine ways
We'll alleviate the pain

Unholy water
Sanguine addiction
Those silver bullets
A last blood benediction

It is her moon time
When there's iron in the air
A rusted essence
Woman may I know you're there

Hey wolf moon
Come cast your spell on me
Hey wolf moon
Come cast your spell on me

Wolf moon is about eating women out on their period lol

[Thorn]

Wouldn't you think he'd have just said so instead of being all artsy fartsy about it

[Pedrito]

Duck for cover is usually my tactic when 'moon time' comes around every month 


The above lyrics are an amalgamation of Run with the Wolf by Rainbow and Wolf Moon

[Thorn]

Recieving empty vinyl sleeves as freebies, pointless

[Eoin McLove]

Yeah it's an odd one alright.

[Trev]

The amount of brilliant albums that are out of print, so if you're looking for any sort of physical copy, even a cd, the prices are fucking mental

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

My metal pet peeve is that Juggz doesn't post anymore.

As a fella who still buys the CDs I know this pain too well. Wanted the wildhearts endless nameless a while back and the prices were spectacular. Sometimes discogs can get you out of that fix but usually I just download it and burn my own cd when it's too pricey

[leatherface]

Discogs is often the way to go, you have to rigorously look for a good deal, can be done though.

[Pentagrimes]

So what I'm taking from this discussion is that everyone agrees King Diamond writes better lyrics than, not only Dio, but Pete Steele and Max Cavalera too. This will certainly make "Them" happy 

I fully back this opinion. My metal pet peeve is that we've never had a King Diamond  comic or graphic novel. To my knowledge. His storylines would lend themselves so well to that format I reckon.

[Eoin McLove]

Ah lads, his lyrics are fucking atrocious b

[Pentagrimes]

Ah they're gas though. Cups of tea and all.
