Play it loud enough to wake the dead

Start your weekend right with a slab of 2005 vintage 'eavy metal & hardcore courtesy of the Roadrunner United Live Concert now on Youtube. Roadrunner United being the record label's 25th anniversary project, taking artists from past and present Roadrunner bands and letting them make new songs together before coming together in one concert in New York performing old favourites.

It's weird to think about how hard it used to be to pull established musicians from different bands together. I feel like it happens a lot on YouTube now that it's way easier to pull things together remotely.

Sadly the Black No 1 tribute was nearly unlistenable.... Started off promising but the vocalist just dies in the loud parts. So here's an old live version from the depths of you tube. Peter Steele isn't the sort of person you can apologize for in the full light of hindsight, but Bloody Kisses holds a special place in my brain nonetheless.
