Michael Jackson long story with Heavy Metal guitarists


Michael Jackson was never affraid to think outside the box and always afforded the best musicians money can buy. And it happens that some of the very best lead guitarists are Heavy Metal guitarists.

Another thing that is worth mentioning. Michael Jackson didn't instill a dress code for the badass Heavy Metal guitarists he employed. As you can see in the contrast in fashion style. Leather, studs, denin, flannel, big hair... Slash could even smoke cigarettes on the stage!

Guitar Hero Buckethead and one of his heroes, Michael Jackson.


Given some time, if Michael Jackson was alive today. The weird looking Buckethead (Guns N' Roses lead guitarist 2000-2004) would certainly have played for him. Plus, Buckethead is a lifelong Michael Jackson fan.

Here below is a rather silly video illustrating the correlation between Buckethead and Michael Jackson.

STRAIGHT EDGE





Here is STRAIGHT EDGE explained by another excellent video from Finn, the one man army behind The Punk Rock MBA. By the way, I strongly encourage you to consult his YouTube channel full of instructive and interesting stuff.

Addict energy? 
Jumping from one extreme to the other?

Oups! 
I plead guilty!

Instead that now, just like Finn, I channel my energy into something positive and constructive instead of self-destructive.


You should be proud to be or to become a Straight Edge.
Choosing health and positivity instead of miserability and self-destruction.

Best Rap Songs Of Each Year [1979 - 2018]





What this compilation's creator had to say about it.



Best Hip-Hop Song Each Year.
The best hip-hop songs of all time are those songs that touch our soul. They make us smile, laugh, cry, think, move and shake what our mama (or papa) gave us. #evolutionofhiphop
I traveled back four decades and dug through a pile of tunes to compile a list of the greatest songs hip-hop has ever witnessed.
Picking hip-hop's greatest songs is an incredibly difficult (and incredibly fun) undertaking, considering the various styles that have splintered the genre every way imaginable. Now 40 years old, hip-hop no more belongs to Bronx originators than it does to today's kids; its popularity has stretched to all corners, and the various mutations reflect that. Our picks reflect the songs that innovated, enlightened, delighted, and lasted. These are hip-hop tracks that, with any justice, our grandchildren will have on playlists that are implanted into their brains, or whatever.


By the way, I am more Metal than Rap! However, I admire their values and lifestyle.
