Free Music Notes for In a Metal Mood: No More Mr. Nice Guy
Free Music Review: BIG BAND recording
Hit: 4 Stars
The concept is whimsical (Pat Boone doing Heavy Metal with Big Band arrangements), but the execution is serious. Three Big Bands are assembled (each does about 4 songs) and Pat brings in some of the original stars to help out: Ritchie Blackmore plays guitar on Deep Purple's "Smoke on the Water" and Ronnie James Dio sings harmony/backup on his "Holy Diver". Many reviewers are judging this recording from the perspective of Rock music, but it has to be judged from the perspective of the Big Band era. This is heavy-duty -- and FUN -- Big Band music!
In a Metal Mood: No More Mr. Nice Guy Poster
Monty Python have got nothing on Pat Boone. You want absurd, this is the pinnacle. No comedy writer in his/her dreams could have dreamt up anything even half as stupid. The mere idea of Pat Boone, Mr. Squeaky Clean himself, (ahem) crooning heavy metal tunes is bad enough, but it gets so much worse. Big name arrangers were brought in to take crunchy power chords and squealing guitar solos and turn them into jazzy riffs and big band horn blasts. Even a few of the artists whose material is covered make guest appearances. Guitarist Ritchie Blackmore plugs in on "Smoke on the Water," while vocalist Ronnie James Dio gives a shout out on his band's "Holy Diver." This musical "idiodyssey" actually works a few times. I'm not immune to the kitsch value that the swingin' versions of AC/DC's "It's a Long Way to the Top (If You Wanna Rock 'n' Roll)," Hendrix's "The Wind Cries Mary," or Ozzy Osbourne's "Crazy Train" provide. These songs almost sound like they were written for this kind of overblown, slick swing. Very scary. As for the rest, well, let's just say that aside from the fact that they don't really work too well in this format, Boone just ends up sort of speaking the lyrics and sounding completely goofy. If that's not comedy enough for you, surely the extensive liner notes explaining (rationalizing?) why Boone felt the need to make this record are the topper. I liked this guy a lot better when he was pals with the Parents' Music Resource Center. Can't wait for In a Grunge Mood--sometime in the 21st century. --Adem TepedelenPop Music CDs
