Metal Music Challenge

I think it was about 1992 and my boyfriend at the time was getting into the heavy metal music scene. We went to New York City a few times to watch some of his friends play in a band. I think the band was HeadStrong - but that could have been the name of their album; a promo release 45 record. << we didn't have CDs yet!

Anyway...

Half the time he'd come out beat up and bloody from the mosh pit while I was perfectly happy to sit at the bar and sip on a few screwdrivers and stuff wads of bar napkins in my ear so I could hear the next day. LOL

Ah, youth. Good times. And listening to GWAR.

I found this on YouTube - it's as close as I could get to GWAR circa 1991.

What the hell, Mere?

hahah! So apparently this Challenge: Share the metal !! was brought to Whaleshares thanks to @verhp11

How did it reach you?

Seven degrees of separation is a real thing, friends!
I may have seen the original post but metal is not in my normal play list so I kind of ignored it. sorry @verhp11, no offense meant 🎃

Thanks to Challenge A Friend to a Metal Sharing Challenge by @chronocrypto - Dystopian writer and, we suspect, a cyborg witness; who challenged @lexikon082 and @ceruleanblue.

@lexikon082 - my dear friend and WLS witness partner then challenged me and here I am. LOL
The real challenge for me is: who am I going to call out?
hmm....

I choose @derangedvisions and @intelliguy

Because I think they've got some metal lurking in their history somewhere. I had to dust off 25 years to find mine! LOL

According to @verhp11, here are the Rules for the Challenge

  • Share a song in the Metal / Hardrock genre only
  • Challenge a Whaleshares user to participate
  • Use at least the tag #metalchallenge
