It’s insane how far standards have dropped — all of this woodland would be digitally enhanced today, including their armor, heck, even the birds would be CGI

That’s incredible — it just never occurred to me how much of an influence ZZ were on VH. How about this, on “Heard it on the X” [originally from 1975] — so obviously part of that musical lineage:

You can really hear the ZZ Top influence on Van Halen here — “Just Got Paid” from 1972’s Rio Grande Mud btw — in that swing-shuffle drum line. That 80s hard rock sound is often attributed to Van Halen bridging the gap to Led Zeppelin & Cream but the “Americana” of it all is quintessentially ZZ Top.

Death. “In Human Form.” July 31, 1993. One Step Beyond club, Santa Clara CA. Footage like this is why I think of old school bootleggers as music historians. This is front stage.

The Fog. 1980. Dir: John Carpenter. Apparently in the original cut, Blake takes the cross and leaves — and test audiences hated it, thought it was anti climactic — so they restaged & reshot this new finale, and for me it’s one of Carpenter’s best endings. Even if he himself disagrees.

Ah yeah, speculation but things are clearly in play — I’m not actually sure if the ice Slot’s standing on could be any thinner because, sadly, this isn’t conjecture. There’s not a chance FSG will allow this to continue.

I remember when Eternal Idol came out and this riff HIT — they felt like an 80s heavy metal band now. They even leaned into the head-to-toe black leather. Here’s the behind the scenes promo reel.

Their formula of ‘intro > main riff’ transition — where the other 3 stop to give James “space” to launch the main riff — is also how he could set the tempo with just his isolated guitar. The speed & precision here is inhuman. In this moment, the other 3 are thinking ‘holy fck’ — especially Lars

They say the roots of thrash metal are NWOBHM + punk — but really the punk aspect is attitude, because the *musicianship* of thrash needs precision. Hetfield is ‘simply’ chugging an open E here — the other 3 are giving the song its dynamic — but he’s the anchor. Lars didn’t set the tempo, James did.

They played “War Pigs” too but the footage cuts off in the intro — a few other tid bits: the bootleg audio has been available but not the video; Geezer bought that bass off Glenn Hughes; Walker playing the tambourine. Almost 50 yrs old now. A real gem.
