As a dyed in the wool, rock and metal head I feel proud that the great Pat Boone is an integral part of the heavy metal family. He has an awesome voice.
Alice Cooper, Ozzy Osbourne and Lemmy said that Pat Boone is the coolest guy they know and know him personally. I read an article about his time in the studio doing this record and they said that so many of the Metal Hierarchy of the best Metal Bands were dropping by the studio and were so honored that Pat Boone was doing one of their songs. They said he has nothing but respect for them and they of him. That's fine with me. I still listen to the CD every now and then.
I read about him doing this in some magazine - and it was one of the most unbelievable articles ever, I just stared at the print...then I saw a news ad or something for him in that awards show he talks about here. THEN I saw THIS when it aired. I'm glad someone uploaded this. Funny moment in Television history for real.
Surprisingly, it is very good. I had always known of it but never heard until tonight mainly because I didn’t know that it had big band accompaniment. I thought it was a pathetic attempt by an aging pop star of yesteryear to be relevant and, accordingly, would be cringe inducing. Well played, Pat.
I wish he would have also make a sedate punk rock inspired album....can you imagine him doing a slow finger snapping version of bodies,by the sex pistols?
Maybe pat should do some big band versions of discharge songs (I would like to hear the possibility of life's destruction played by a really swinging big band
I love this album!!! If you're in a bad mood, it will definitely lighten you up. Enter Sandman is probably my favorite of all the songs on the album. Paradise City had me in stitches. Great interview. If anyone is interested, the album is called "In A Metal Mood."
but I was a child I love this man for something that always stops with me by him was April love his voice was like Bing Crosby soothing wonderful singing voice and he was good looking with it(the wife)
Actually, His Metal cover album is quite good stuff. Those were very soulful metal music and interesting experiment.In today, Hank Ⅲ sometime plays Heavy Metal. Maybe , Pat's experiment was too early.
The haircut still screams "American businessman".....It's like when you go on a Jamaican holiday and you see these middle age men on the beach trying to be "island"...the haircut always gives them alway
Yeah .hey Pat if you rock then the referees were wrong and Bobby riggs actually beat Billie Jean king in the king of kings tournament. He went back to usual position a doorstop at Macys Corp offices.
Of course : "it's absurd" .... but at least good or nice to know or hear that he did not take himself too seriously !! A record or album Ok ... but touring with it ! Who draws which lines where ?
Are the tattoos real? I like him here but otherwise he is alittle to self righteous. He was a very strict and closed minded father. I remember hearing how he continued spanking his daughters , well into their teens. He was quick to condem this music before and those who performed it. He would be the first to tell you how he is saved but your going to hell. I always thought he was a very closeted gay man hiding behind his good boy and holy act.
