Music reviews of In a Metal Mood: No More Mr. Nice Guy
Music Review: My 5 Cents and Stars Worth
Rating: 5 Stars
Its ALWAYS quite amusing how Americans are 'OBSESSED WITH THE ABSURD!' Says a lot about the individual really!
This ten year plus disc still stands the test of time for many reasons.
Originally thought as a full blown parody of sorts- a musical hasbeen such as Mr. Pat having the audacity to cover such awfuls as I-I-I-I John Micheal Osborne and the one time soulful known Mr. Erin Everly was beyond consciablity.
Well to overcome this 'handicap' Pat with his clean cut Americana image made this a perfect match made in Heaven!
Re-arranging the worse of dredge had its musical advanatages-esp when sworn to a slant of irrestible big band like arraangements. With the caliber of players/musicians that injected LIFE into these otherwise rather hackneyed romps, says a plenty!
Mebbes Pat thought this lot of ruckess a snafu of satire, but to take something as lame as M'tl-ack-a's 'Enter Sandman' pushes the musical envelope to another dimension. And to have the added attraction of Mr. Ritchie Rainbow along with the Vile Foamy Liquids Pharmacist hisself really extends THAT hilarity of expressing their admiration of such polarity to undertake their mess and beat it into shape far better than they could possibly imagine!
So with that being said and I really COULDA hammered away at this lot....this release shouldnt be ignored cause of so-called imbued novel means!
Long Live Pat Boone!
Description of In a Metal Mood: No More Mr. Nice Guy
Monty Python have got nothing on Pat Boone. You want absurd, this is the pinnacle. No comedy writer in his/her dreams could have dreamt up anything even half as stupid. The mere idea of Pat Boone, Mr. Squeaky Clean himself, (ahem) crooning heavy metal tunes is bad enough, but it gets so much worse. Big name arrangers were brought in to take crunchy power chords and squealing guitar solos and turn them into jazzy riffs and big band horn blasts. Even a few of the artists whose material is covered make guest appearances. Guitarist Ritchie Blackmore plugs in on "Smoke on the Water," while vocalist Ronnie James Dio gives a shout out on his band's "Holy Diver." This musical "idiodyssey" actually works a few times. I'm not immune to the kitsch value that the swingin' versions of AC/DC's "It's a Long Way to the Top (If You Wanna Rock 'n' Roll)," Hendrix's "The Wind Cries Mary," or Ozzy Osbourne's "Crazy Train" provide. These songs almost sound like they were written for this kind of overblown, slick swing. Very scary. As for the rest, well, let's just say that aside from the fact that they don't really work too well in this format, Boone just ends up sort of speaking the lyrics and sounding completely goofy. If that's not comedy enough for you, surely the extensive liner notes explaining (rationalizing?) why Boone felt the need to make this record are the topper. I liked this guy a lot better when he was pals with the Parents' Music Resource Center. Can't wait for In a Grunge Mood--sometime in the 21st century. --Adem TepedelenTraditional Vocal Pop CDs
