#3. Black Sabbath – Into the Void                                                                                                                                   Requested Through – Facebook Request Line – Scotty B wdha                                                                                Requested by – Commander Jeff K from The Kings of Clark in Clark , NJ                                                            3

Commander Jeff k rocks himself into #3 with his request for Black Sabbath. I chose “Into the Void”. Damn, that song rocks! Black Sabbath, pioneers of heavy metal, unleashed a wave of darkness and heaviness upon the music world that resonates to this day. Among their extensive discography, “Into the Void” stands as a defining track that showcases the band’s musical mastery and their exploration of dark and introspective themes. From the opening chords of “Into the Void,” Black Sabbath sets the stage for a haunting journey. The song’s slow, heavy, and sludgy guitar riffs, courtesy of Tony Iommi, create an oppressive atmosphere, while Geezer Butler’s thunderous basslines and Bill Ward’s pounding drums enhance the song’s intensity. Ozzy Osbourne’s distinct and haunting vocals add an additional layer of depth, guiding the listener into the abyss. “Into the Void is from their 1971 album” Masters of Reality” and stands as a reminder of Black Sabbath’s monumental contribution to the evolution of heavy metal and their enduring legacy as pioneers of darkness. Great Job Jeff! Happy Mothers Day to Commander Michele K! Salute!

The Fing Della lands in the two spot with his request for “Ace of Spades” by Motorhead. Motorhead, the iconic British rock band known for their relentless energy and fierce attitude, left an indelible mark on the world of heavy metal. Among their vast catalog of headbanging anthems, “Ace of Spades” stands tall as a timeless classic that embodies the band’s raw power, rebellious spirit, and unrelenting drive. Released in 1980 as the title track of their fourth studio album, “Ace of Spades” became synonymous with Motorhead’s signature sound and cemented their status as pioneers of speed metal.

#1. Metallica – Nothing Else Matters                                                                                                                              Requested Through – Facebook Request Line – Scotty B wdha                                                                                 Requested by – The Orange County Rockers The Crazy Colonel’s Robin and John and Crazy Corporal Andrew in Orange County , NY                                                                                                                                        1

The Orange County rockers top the list at #1 with their request for their wedding song “Nothing Else Matters” by Metallica. Congratulations to Robin and John on tying the not  Saturday 05-13-23. Getting married on Mothers Day Weekend! That is awesome. They have a great story too. They have known each other since high school and many many years later they found each other and started a relationship and are now finally getting married. I’m so happy for you two. They are requesting Metallica tracks all month in celebration of Maytallica and “Nothing Else Matters”  is a perfect song for those two love birds.

Metallica, one of the most influential heavy metal bands of all time, has crafted an extensive discography filled with powerful and aggressive songs. However, among their vast repertoire, “Nothing Else Matters” stands out as a beautiful departure—a heartfelt ballad that showcases the band’s ability to delve into introspection and connect with listeners on a deeply emotional level. Released in 1991 as part of their self-titled album, commonly known as the “Black Album,” “Nothing Else Matters” remains a timeless testament to Metallica’s versatility and their ability to explore the depths of human emotion. Congratulations to The Crazy Colonel’s Robin and John on their marriage and a Happy Mothers day to Robin. I hope Crazy Corporal Andrew and Crazy Colonel John gave you a Happy Mothers day. Great Job you two. Salute! You are #1!
