In a metal mood...

In 1997, squeaky-clean 50's icon Pat Boone released his foray into hard rock music, "In a Metal Mood: No More Mr. Nice Guy". What started as a joke became a really interesting mix of big band/jazz instrumentation with heavy metal melodies and lyrics. Reactions were immediate. Evangelical Christians were totally pissed at poor Pat and hard rockers dismissed his album as silly. I found the album quite interesting. Not only do I like big band music, I also like being able to understand the words to songs. Pat DEFINITELY enunciates the words better than most singers in metal bands. You might like to check the album out. If you don't want to go out and buy it, you can always check out song snippets on Amazon or I-tunes. Even if the album isn't your cup of tea, it SHOULD make you smile.
