Anyone ever heard Pat Boone's "In a Metal Mood"?

[Metalmilitia2000]

Haha, i just thought i would ask. I heard part of this album last year and thought it was the funniest thing ever. I really want to get it. Just asking for everyone's thoughts, or fun poking, about it.

Yeah, our local 10pm-7am metal station played this when it first came out, and the Deejays were going track by track, playing exerps from each song and trashing the Hell out of it, especially the cover. It was pretty goddamn awful, and this indeed was a perfect way to hear it- free! If you waste your money on this instead of something worthwhile, then you have issues.

Pat Boone= uke:

I must be one of those special ones then.

It's campy, it's cheesy as hell. That's why I like it. It's wrong and that is a good thing.

The funny thing was to see the fallout of hime dong that album. He lost his TV show and tons of ties to the Christian community because of him singing metal songs. Can we all say "refuckingtarded!"? Come on now, all together...

REFUCKINGTARDED!

That's why I own it.

Yeah, I own it and I love it. He even mentions the urge to do a sequel in the liner notes since there were many bands he hadn't covered (Megadeth among them), and I wish he had. Though perhaps the bad press was a deterrent.

I think it's hilarious.

The backlash did indeed stifle a second release. I felt really bad for him, for about two seconds, because he lost a lot.

He also stood up for himself though and metal too, because he came out and said, look, good songs are good songs and you people make too much out of it. For someone to we so right-wing Christian to do that really says a lot for him as a person.

And it's damn funny.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaa! I screamed in laughter when I heard just a few tracks!!!! I couldn't believe he was serious!

If anyone hasn't heard, you can check out this kind of thing done right --- go see Alex .... www.alexskolnick.com --- Standards for a New Generation ROCKS! And swings!

Cheers!!!

I respect Pat Boone a tremendous amount for doing that. Nothing personal to those that picked at him, but the fact that he opened his ears and heart to metal music makes me feel good and if other Christian celebrities (like Pat Robertson for example who is an extremely intelligent man) followed suit and loosened up on their ultra Christian ways, "our kind" wouldn't be shunned in such a way.

Yeah, just think what Peace Cells or In My Darkest Hour would sound like.
He should do a Prog/Power thing to.
Songs he should do:
Watch the children pray(Metal Church)
Cold Wind(Vanden Plas)
Angels Don't Kill(Children of Bodom)
Through Osiris' Eyes(Pagan's Mind)
Pharoah(Symphony X)

I also think William Shatner should put one of his own together too

It's in my iPod.
I think it's great.
