  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 1 ต.ค. 2024
  • Between Crowbar and Down, Kirk Windstein is one of the undisputed masters of sludge-metal. But anyone who's heard his deep, expressive croak can identify the soulful emotion that comes through in his deceptively catchy, plodding melodies. So much of his signature style likely comes from his deep enjoyment of disco, soul, jazz, funk, pop music and more. The man has an extremely well-rounded music taste that stretches across styles and eras, so we asked him to select 11 of his favorite non-metal records that he thinks every metalhead needs to know. Watch him make his selections and explain why each album matters.

      Exactly! I listen to a lot of metal & i try to vary my genres within metal. But i honestly need to listen other music in between. To keep it fresh. Neil Young, Eminem, Ween, Lana Del Rey, The Doors, Skynyrd, Blackberry Smoke, Cold Chisel, Hunters & Collectors etc. Cause in the end, good music is good music. I don't care what genre it is. Why limit yourself?

    Kirk used to work as a stagehand at lots of shows in the New Orleans area for a large music production company back in the 80s and early 90s, so when he says, "I worked a show," he means as a stagehand. It was really ironic to see Kirk working as a hand at UNO Lakefront Arena then a few months later playing the same arena with the band he led. Kirk is as cool as the underside of your pillow, and hilarious too. He's a nice guy even when nobody is looking.

      Well said man. When I was 12, I started discovering 70s and early 80s hard rock, then punk, and in my teens in the 90s, it seemed like there was so much division between the music genres. As I’ve gotten older, I’ve learned to value artists from one genre as much as artists from the next. I mean, don’t get me wrong, I still probably prefer rock and roll most of the time, but now I tend to listen to a lot of music based on my mood. If I’m in the car sitting in traffic in a bad mood from work, I put on something relaxing or an audiobook, not something that might feed my agitation. If I’m about to work out and need a little extra energy, then I’ll put some metal on. The point is, I’ve learned to appreciate the creativity it takes period to make music, as opposed to always concerning myself about which category people think a band or artist should fall in to.

Even possible backlashes with homophobic slurs or being called a sellout. I mean you either had to stay in the closet or admit to liking certain artists that wouldn't incur the wrath of
      the pseudo-righteous, arrogantly hardcore elitists.
      But life is too short and opinions are like assholes. So like i said before, screw the haters, live your life, enjoy your music.

      Kind of surprising to not see Cream, Blue Oyster Cult, Hendrix, ELP, Deep Purple, Creedence Clearwater Revival or The Beatles get mentioned…but maybe the makers of these videos didn’t want it to feel too predictable

    Saw Crowbar in Omaha (2016ish) and they kick ass live.
    Able to stand within two feet of Kirk as he is great guitarist and really nice guy too.
    Am fifty eight myself so totally dig some of his picks as this post brings back some cool memories.

    The greatest albums were in fact made between 1967 and 1977. And 10 of those would include - The Beatles Abbey Road; Jethro Tull Thick as a Brick and Passion Play; Fleetwood Mac (1975); Alan Parsons Project I Robot; Stevie Wonder Innervisions and Fulfillingness First Finale; Santana Borboletta; Genesis Live (1973); Johnny Winter And Live.

    ATTN KIRK, I notice your voice sounds a bit hoarse on the vocal chord. I'm familiar with throat cancer since a relative of mine had it but caught it early since that cancer started on his vocal chord and his voice sounded hoarse. If you want you should get that checked.

    Being a kid that grew up in the 70s and 80s, you were exposed to a whole different types of music. Radio played stuff that ranged from Country, Rock, Soul, and Top 40 hits. It was a great time growing up and I listen to all the stuff till this day. It was hard to find any radio station playing Metal. The heaviest that radio would play would be the occasional Black Sabbath (Paranoid of course), some Van Halen, and a bunch of Boston. Metal didn't hit me until I was in my teens.

    I loooove this series. I'm not a metalheac, but a lot of my good friends are, and they play in some kinda artsy/oddball/non-mainstream metal bands--and they have great taste. I'm always interested in what metal people listen to. Also, I find that many metal folks have broader and less snobby taste than the people with whom who I suppose I technically belong with, scene-wise. But I hate labels, and I love metal people--they're usually less pretentious and more fun. And, damn--Duran Duran! Hell, yes!

    I grew up on hip hop which has comparable lyrics to punk and hardcore. Hardcore rap especially, though you may have to go horrorcore (not just juggalos, people) for stuff comparable to death metal and black metal. I think Matt Pike says blues has music that is pretty heavy lyrically.

    OK... your selections were not what I expected, but I respect a lot of your reasoning... HOWEVER... Not having Pink Floyd's "The Wall" is an absolute TRAVESTY ! But I realize that it's already a masterpiece of an album that almost all metalheads would own anyway..
    Now looking over my right shoulder and underneath all my Judas Priest, Fight, Halford and AC⚡DC, Metallica, Kiss, Joan Jett, Mötley Crüe, Motörhead and L7 CDs... I have and suggest:
    Gary Numan "Exposure" and "Hybrid"
    Billy Idol "Rebel Yell" and "Greatest Hits"
    Police "Synchronicity" and "Greatest Hits"
    Marty Robbins "Gunfighter Ballads"
    Johnny Horton "Collections"
    Simon and Garfunkel "Greatest Hits"
    Billy Joel "Greatest Hits"
    Men Without Hats "Greatest Hats" (LOL and I know that is a stretch...)

    Dear Revolver Magazine, I appreciate the fact that you make these kind of videos, I find it extremely awesome that real artists share their influence and likings, however, may I suggest a few different artists for you to interview that may share with us the music and the different type of artists they listen to and inspire from?, I give you a list of talented people (I'm not asking for Corey Taylor or Scott Ian, I mean real musicians) like: Peter Tagtgren, Einar Selvik, Sakis Tolis, Demonaz, Phill Anselmo, Nocturno Culto, Galder, Severoth, Samoth, to name a few. Please!
    And while we are at it, why don't you make a video regarding some "Post-Rock" I truly believe that genre is overrated and deserves more coverage, bands like Year of no Light, Lost in Kiev, PG. Lost, Dirge, Omega Massif are incredibly talented. We need more underground music instead of that bullshit mainstream crap they feed us with.
    Thank you for your time, sincerely some guy who loves metal from Mexico.
