Whatever Happened To Grace Jones?

Some years ago, I frequented Limelight, a dance club on the upper northwest side of Atlanta.

Metallica: St. Anger

Posted in Bands | Musicology | Reviews
The band that put the Metal in Heavy Metal returns with one of their heaviest albums yet. It is a return to the early days of Metallica, resembling their first album, Kill 'Em All. Unlike their albums of the past decade, there isn't a single mellow song on this new release. It is simple flat out full throttle metal guitar with the hardest drumming Lars Ulrich has turned out in years. This album is all about, hard and fast, straight down-to-business heavy metal.

The Beatles may well be arguably the worlds biggest ever band. Musically from the early 1960's to the end of their career they covered an array of different music styles from the jangly pop of their early days to the psychedelia of their latter albums. To cover all these different sounds they needed a broad range of instruments.
