...and I think I enjoyed watching the practice session more than the live song. James subtly changed the riff, and it's wayy cool!

Revolver's Jams of the Year!

If there’s one thing more exciting than seeing your favorite bands live, it’s seeing your favorite bands playing live together at the same time. Although the hard-rock and metal history books include more than a few eye-popping collaborations over the genres’ four-decade histories, 2011 boasts some of the most exciting. Below is a list of what got the Revolver editors’ jaws dropping this year.

The Big Four
Although Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth, and Anthrax jammed together for the first time last year, it was in 2011 they made it their calling card. Beginning with their performance of Diamond Head’s “Am I Evil?” in April to their jams in Europe (which also featured members of Diamond Head, Exodus, and Sepultura), to their U.S. final performance of Motörhead’s “Overkill” in New York City, these bands have made history at each performance.




(This one, I've posted before)

Article also includes Metal Masters (which featured Anthrax’s Scott Ian, Frank Bello, and Charlie Benante, Megadeth’s David Ellefson, Mike Portnoy, and special guests Kerry King of Slayer and…Phil Anselmo of Pantera and Down), Temple of the Dog, The Revolver Golden Gods Awards, GnR, Motley Crue, Metallica's30th Anniversary Tour, Zakk Wilde, A7X, and more.

Here is Avenged Sevenfold featuring Pantera's, Damageplan's & Hellyeah's Vinnie Paul playing Pantera's "Mouth for War":

A Metallica Tribute to Iron Maiden: Remember Tomorrow

And here's Iron Maiden's original.. Truly one of the best covers I've ever heard - especially of such a complex song. Note for note, Metallica did an awesome job in this tribute. Kudos!

The Mini Band - Metallica's "Enter Sandman"

Must see - even if you're not a hard rock or Metallica fan. These 8-10 year old kids do a fantastic job for their ages. I'm jealous.

RIP Cliff Burton

Clifford Lee "Cliff" Burton (February 10, 1962 – September 27, 1986) was an American musician, best known as the bass guitarist for the American thrash metal band Metallica.

Burton joined the band in 1982 and performed on its debut studio album, Kill 'Em All. He performed on two more Metallica albums, Ride the Lightning and Master of Puppets, both of which met with major commercial and critical success. Burton was known for his "lead bass" approach, in which the bass played a melodic and soloist role, in addition to holding down the harmonic and rhythmic foundation of the band.

On September 27, 1986, Burton died when the band's tour bus over-turned in rural southern Sweden. Burton was posthumously inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame with Metallica on April 4, 2009.

Incredible Rock Music Era 1: Sept. 1983 - Sept. 1984

What an incredible year for hard rock releases. I was in 7th grade, and transitioning my piano-trained mind from the likes of Joan Jett & the Blackhearts, popular rock like Prince, Billy Squier, and Night Ranger - to the likes of some harder bands. Def Leppard was instrumental in this transition. One of the best albums of all time, Def Leppard's Pyromania was still in my head, and going strong since its January, 1983 release, and I've just began with my first drum set. Twisted Sister's "We're Not Gonna Take It" was a highlight in my growth as a drummer, as I was featured on my set in our 8th grade band's performance of it in fall of 1984. The rest is history:

Motley Crue - Shout at the Devil - Sept. 1983


Ozzy Osbourne - Bark at the Moon - Dec. 1983


Van Halen - 1984 - Jan. 1984


Judas Priest - Defenders of the Faith - Jan. 1984


Ratt - Out of the Cellar - Mar. 1984


Rush - Grace Under Pressure - Apr. 1984


Scorpions - Love at First Sting - May 1984


Metallica - Ride The Lightning - July 1984


Dokken - Tooth and Nail - Sept. 1984


Iron Maiden - Powerslave - Sept. 1984


Queensryche - The Warning - Sept. 1984

(A preview of what's to come in another era..)

What an incredible year of rock releases, huh? Rush is really the only one who is on this list, but whose prior songs were really more prevalent than their newest release during this period. So began my backtrack to the BEST Rush, and the beginnings of Metallica, Iron Maiden, and Van Halen. Another Era will also be showing you The Cult, who has by this time already introduced their debut album, plus one. Pink Floyd and Boston were both kind-of in hiatus. Enjoy!

C'Mon Sir, What's That Look Mean?
