It was the Danzig tune wasn't it? LOL
As a matter of fact it was. That group was unknown to me up until that.

I can't say I'm a fan of Danzig but I did like that tune from them. I think they tend to be more towards the "dark side" of metal...I can't say for sure they are bundled in with "death metal" or not....but I think they were/are.
Found a full album up on youtube
He's got that muscular/manly voice to his music like a Henry Rollins...

I was gonna go more Living Colour, Fishbone, 247 Spyz, or say... Body Count. Their thrashing though was/is more inline with Body Count though... I'm impressed they can thrash that hard at barely 15 as a 3pc.

For Fathers everywhere....
Artist: The Winstons
Cut: "Color Him Father" (with lyrics)
Metromedia Records 1969
The Winstons were a 1960s funk and soul music group, based in Washington, D.C.. They are known for their 1969 recording of an EP featuring a song entitled "Color Him Father" on the A-side, and a song entitled "Amen, Brother" on the B-side.
It was released in 1969, and reached number 2 on the R&B charts and number 7 on the Billboard Hot 100 that same year. Its composer, Richard Lewis Spencer, won a Grammy Award for Best R&B song in 1970.
"Color Him Father" is an unabashedly sentimental song in which a boy expresses his love for his stepfather, a hardworking and generous man who married his widowed mother, who had seven children, and embraced them as his own after her first husband was "killed in the war." ("She said she thought that she could never love again/And then there he stood with that big, wide grin.") The song's lyrics resonated strongly with the public in 1969, the height of the Vietnam War. The word "color," in the song, means "label" or "call."
The "Color Him Father" record sold over one million copies, and received a gold record awarded by the Recording Industry Association of America on 24 July 1969.
Half-way into "Amen, Brother", there is a drum solo (performed by G.C. Coleman) which would cause The Winston's EP to become one of the most widely-sampled records in the history of electronic music. Sampled audio clips of the drum solo became known as the Amen Break, which has been used in thousands of tracks in a large number of musical genres, including drum and bass, hip hop, jungle, big beat, industrial and electronica.
For you lawyers: A very interesting examination of the legal (and musical) aspects of this very famous 9but unknown) snippet of musical history from 1969 that echoes throughout much of the music you hear today, and will hear for decades into the future...

And for you completists, and to give The Winstons their proper and full due, here is the original "Amen Brother" track:
Artist: The Winstons
Cut: "Amen Brother"
original B-side to "Color him Father"
Metromedia Records 1969
The full song is an up-tempo instrumental rendition of Jester Hairston's "Amen," which he wrote for the Sidney Poitier film Lilies of the Field (1963) and which was subsequently popularized by The Impressions (featuring Curtis Mayfield) in 1964.

U2 and BB really worked well together on some of those songs.
BB did some really great guitar work.
That said on U2, pre Achtung Baby was their best work. While they have had songs after that I liked....90% of what I like from them comes from all their albums prior to Achtung.

Well, here's one you may remember, PirateTreasure. Kinda mashing up my last few posts on this thread! And hearkening back to the very first OP in this thread by some other well-known Manchester boys. They really knew how to do it back in the day. Always liked what the girls did with this one. Back in my dance club days:
Artist: Kiss AMC
Jam: "A Bit Of U2"
EMI/Syncopate Records 1989
(sample is the U2 track "New Year's Day," used with permission of the group and produced in conjunction with Paul McGuinness, U2's Manager.)
Kiss AMC were an all-female Manchester, England rap group that featured Christine "Kiss" Leveridge, MC Kermit La Freak's sister (real name Paul Leveridge). Anne Copeland and Marie Copeland provide the 'AMC' part of the name. I actually have the cd single I bought back in the day.
And yeah, you might've noticed the famous "Amen Break" sampled in this jam as well. See how versatile and pervasive it is? (see the explanation of "Amen Break" a few posts above.)
