Scott's Metal Track of the Day - 10s by Pantera

My foes, they can't destroy my body
Colliding slow, like life itself

Today's Metal Track is 10s by Pantera off of their 1996 album The Great Southern Trendkill. I saw a bunch of mentions of Broly in the comments and had no idea what they were referring to. Evidently this track was used as the theme song for a Dragonball Z character named Broly. I never followed DBZ so I had no idea. That's pretty cool.

Scott's Metal Track of the Day - Guns Are Loaded by Daron Malakian and Scars on Broadway

Today's Metal Track is Guns Are Loaded by Daron Malakian and Scars on Broadway. This is off of their album Dictator which was just released in July. What is crazy is the album was actually recorded in 2012 but Daron was unsure what was going to happened with System of a Down. He said that this could have been a SOAD album but the band could agree on a musical direction so he finally released it with Scars on Broadway.

Scott's Metal Track of the Day - Looks That Kill by Motely Crue

Watching 80s videos with the boys is funny. They ask a lot of questions like "what are they doing" and "is that a girl". Haha. I don't remember asking questions in the 80s when these came out. This video was my introduction to the band when I was a wee lad. In case you have the same questions as the boys, the boys have armpit hair and the girls do not! Otherwise, about the same lol.

Today's Metal Track is Looks That Kill by Motley Crue. This is off of their 1983 album Shout at the Devil. Although he is lesser known member of the band, Mick Mars shines on this track with one of the iconic riffs of of the 80s metal. The other Crue members are the face of the band but I don't think they ever make it without Mick's great guitar work.

Scott's Metal Track of the Day - No Shelter by Rage Against The Machine

There be no shelter here
The frontline is everywhere

Today's Metal Track is No Shelter by Rage Against The Machine. This was recorded for the 1998 film Godzilla. The overlying theme of the song is about how the mass media manipulates people and distracts them from the real important issues that are going on. It's funny that Nike is called out in the lyrics and here we are 20 years later with Nike at the forefront of social commentary.

Today's Metal Track is Nightmare by Avenged Sevenfold. This is the opening and title travmck off of their 2010 album by the same name. There are many homages paid to The Rev in the video.

RIP Rev.
