"...YOU EITHER LOVED IT, OR YOU FUCKING HATED IT." -- THE STORY OF VENOM IN A NUTSHELL.
PIC INFO: Spotlight on English extreme metal band VENOM, during the band's "Welcome to Hell" era, c. early 1980s.
DECIBEL: "I think the positive and even life-affirming message of "Welcome to Hell" was that you can do this. It was a similar message to punk like the Ramones. Learn a few things and run with them. Look at all the bands that took that inspiration from this album and formed bands."
JEFFREY DUNN: "I’ve always said you don’t need to be a virtuoso to write an excellent song. There are bands with unreal, incredible musicianship. I honestly don’t follow much modern metal, but some of the guitarists and drummers are fucking ridiculous. But look at Angus Young. He plays three chords at the beginning of “Highway To Hell,” and 250,000 people go fucking crazy. Paul Stanley is not a virtuoso. He’s a competent rhythm guitarist. But he’s written some of the best rock songs on the planet – whether you like KISS or not. It’s about the song and the connection with the fans. Music should move you physically and emotionally. That’s what "Welcome to Hell" did."
The album also brought a lot of repressed emotions to the surface. There was a big broadsheet in England at the time called Sounds. Our first interview was there. There were letter pages in the back. This was way before the Internet when people wrote letters. The week after the interview, they had to double the letters page. There were so many people complaining and so many people who liked us. In the early days, I don’t think I came across one grey reaction to Venom. You either loved it, or you fucking hated it."

"WE WERE THE BAND THAT WAS INFLUENCED BY MOTÖRHEAD AND THE SEX PISTOLS..."
KERRANG!: "There is a case to be made that, with the exception of BLACK SABBATH, VENOM are the most influential metal band of all time. Without VENOM, there's no METALLICA or SLAYER."
CRONOS: “I’d say that’s true, yes. We were the band that was influenced by MOTÖRHEAD and the SEX PISTOLS, but we took their sound and made something completely new out of it. We were completely new; no one had heard anything like us. And of course, unbeknown to us, in America there were these kids who were listening to our records and then shaping what we were doing into their own thing. SLAYER would be an example of that. And I agree, without us those bands either wouldn’t exist, or would sound very different from the way they do."
-- KERRANG!, "Venom's Cronos: "Without Us, Bands Like Slayer Wouldn't Exist,"" by Ian Winwood, May 31, 2019

A NON-EXHAUSTIVE BUT NEVERTHELESS EXHAUSTING LIST OF NEO-NAZI AND WHITE SUPREMACIST DOGWHISTLES

Memorabilia from when I saw the original Black Sabbath in the late 90s. While it wasn't the best show I've ever seen, as I was quite confused by Ozzy's theatrical demeanor, it still remains one of the more memorable shows, also because it was one of the last opportunities to see the original band. To get a good idea of what I saw, check out this video on youtube, the setlist was the same and I could swear Ozzy even wore the same shirt.
Tony Iommi was pretty impressive though and the band played very well. It was just Ozzy with his rather annoying attempts to cheer us up and "soccer-stadium sing-a-longs" which didn't fit the picture for me at the time. I also missed some of my favorite tunes but then that's okay, this was among the very first concerts I've seen in my life anyway!
Btw an anecdote, I was 19 years young at the time and went there with my father, who at some point asked me why I was even bothering with this "old music". Now just imagine, the heyday of Sabbath was then just twenty years ago!! There wasn't much hype among younger music geeks anyway, it was really considered "old people's music". I mean, up until 2009 or so you could also see that music was still kind of evolving, before a lot of people seemed to look back.

I’ve been seeing a few folks complain about people writing hcs of DC characters with ooc song preferences, which it’s not that serious. But it gives me an excuse to show off my DC character playlists.
I initially created them as I saw a lot of playlists for Bruce & Jason with just a lot of dad rock.
Which, fair. Not everyone’s into metal.
But since I know it’s not an easy genre to get into, if you want inspiration, feel free to check out these playlists!
My one main rule for making playlists is that a majority, if not all, of the songs need to be in a genre I think the character would listen to based on their canon music taste. This is regardless whether or not it’s a genre I like. I try my best to find fun songs regardless of my personal preference.
The Playlists:
Batman: various genres of metal. I tried to go for more Doom Metal(slow & repetitive vs thrash’s blast beats and fast guitar) but there’s more than one genre of metal that’s characterized by slower instrumentals & I can’t keep up with all the names so it varies. Dad metal. Made sure that there was a sprinkle of Black Metal too (mainly bc I think it’s funny. If you’ve never listened to black metal, it sounds like you chucked the vocalist in a grinder at high speeds then proceeded to mix your instruments & your vocals the worst you could possibly make it. It’s nearly incomprehensible and it’s Perfect for Bruce.)
Bruce Wayne: a touch of old school doom metal, a sprinkle of black metal as you can write a Batman story without Bruce Wayne but not a Bruce Wayne story without Batman. A more chill version of the Batman playlist that I think Bruce would jam out to as not everyone’s into metal and I wanted to give people another option that didn’t have as heavy stuff in it.
Tim Drake: Mostly time accurate with 90s-2010’s punk rock & alt rock influences all the way through with a touch of metal to show his connection to Bruce & a few other off genre songs that represent his YJ98 pals. I tried my best to include as many bands as I could find that he canonically enjoyed as well.
Jason Todd: Jason was introduced in the 80s & is a canonical metalhead, so I think he’d listen to a combination of 80s dad metal, death metal (come on, it’s just too perfect of a genre name to pass up), thrash, & a little black metal (the genre I assigned to Batman).
Clark Kent: Dad metal. He canonically listens to Metallica post-crisis so I just gave him my dad’s taste in music lmao. Made sure to add a few satire ones because Clark is an little shit and would very much enjoy satire songs. Unfortunately, I genuinely could not get my Spotify recs to give me decent country music. I tried. It only gave me modern mainstream artists and after a month of trying to find good pre 2000’s country, I just gave up. So it’s mainly metal:(
If any of y’all want to send me 80s-2000’s country recs, that would be very kind of y’all. (the type of country music ma & pa kent would listen to that Clark would have grown up with)
Kon-El: is full of songs that are, well, time accurate to his original run. Ranging from 1969-2002 [the year his solo run was canceled], this playlist not only has songs he could have theoretically picked up in a record shop or blasted on a boom box during the day but is also full of bands he canonically listens to! This playlist is chalk full of Kon’s canonical alt rock & metal music taste as well as rock and proto-metal hits of the time!
Bart Allen: to be clear, Bart wouldn’t listen to any of these as music is just too slow for him. These are songs that relate to Bart or songs that represent his connections to his friends with no specific genre as I didn’t just want to have playlists full of nothing but metal. (Although I think he’d really like metal concerts as he’d probably enjoy the feeling of the heavy base resonate in his chest.)
