I know McCready has mentioned Ozzy, Sabbath, Randy Rhodes, Zeppelin, KISS as influences. Ament has name checked Motorhead and Slayer. So, with that, they do have some metal cred. Question is, what's the most metal sounding song in the PJ catalogue? Thoughts?

    Go is pretty metal.

    and the last bit of RVM is ultra metal.

    other than that, more punk than anything.

    I don't think any of their songs sound very 'metal'. Even the heavier/louder ones like Blood are more on the heavy side of punk, I would say. Perhaps this is just because I listen to some scary Scandinavian stuff that could feasibly make your ears bleed. Hmmmm....you have got me thinking though....

    The break down in No Way is as metal as they get.

    Although "Habit" is definately a punk inspired tune...The breakdown at the end, especially on the live versions from the 2000 tour are straight out of the heavy metal playbook. I half suspect that they were listening to alot of Stoner Rock or Kyuss on that tour...because that breakdown is definately similar to one of their riffs.

    Spin The Black Circle?

    though Im not entirely sure what metal is that song was pretty insane

    All the songs listed so far are definately more punk than metal.............all in all PJ shifts more towards punk than metal.

    Black, kinda of a power ballad. The "Every Rose has its Thorn" of the PJ Catalog (Not really but this is as close as I can get)

    nothing as it seems could be a metallica song

  • Sexy2aFaultSexy2aFault Posts: 388
    Deep and Alone would be more metal.


    Leash,Blood, STBC and Go are defintely derived from punk not metal.

    The reverb on Ten is very much an 80's metal production; of course this is no fault of the band...just the work of a wanker producer
  • InHiding19InHiding19 Posts: 2,385
    I love the production sound of ten. Yes, it sounds very dated, but there is just something about it that makes me love the sound and feel.

    eh I dunno. I've heard people note Spin the Black Circle as punk but I see it more as speed metal.

    I stand by no metal. I can't hear any of PJs riffs coming from a true metal band

    I'd vote for Deep, if anything. Been listening to the Atlanta 94 version a lot lately. It's awesome!
