Great Uncle Bulgaria 1,292 Posted February 14, 2020 2 hours ago, Toast said: This is a late 70s song. Written by an artist who didn't have a hit with it himself and didn't include it on his next album. International hit for a girl group that reached no. 1 in several countries, but only a Top 40 spot in the UK. Fire by the Pointer sisters ? (written by Springsteen I think) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Toast 16,155 Posted February 14, 2020 Correct, it is Fire. A song that in these sanctimonious times works much better when sung by a female than a male, so it's a good thing that the Pointer Sisters had the hit with it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes they did....... google might have revealed the band for you but it was Five Finger Death Punch off their 2014 album 'The Wrong Side of Heaven and the Righteous Side of Hell Volume 1. There an insanely daft metal band, but bloody enjoyable to switch off and listen to which is probably why their widely tipped to be the next band to move up to 'the big league' ahead of a number of much better bands. ETA: 'Knuckleheaded' was meant to be a clue to FFDP who refer to their fans as knuckleheads..... i'll go back to my my Metal Hammer magazines now.....

Mama Said is actually pretty good. It is however not their best song, that's this (and not just because of the message/fundraising but it's musically their best, which figures they'd want it to be to gain traction). Either way they're doing what they do right and will no doubt be in the next wave of metal bands to get promoted to the 'festival headliner/stadium' bracket at some point in the next 5-10 years. Even though there's a dozen bands who deserve that more, they naturally fit the bill better because they wank off Iron Maiden/Metallica fans enough.....

Yes. So I've been trying to think of something different, so not yet another rock number from the 90's...so it's a rock song from the 00's, with a guest drummer from another two massive bands. Oddly, if nobody can get the answer, that's a bit of a clue. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Creep 7,070 Posted February 15, 2020 It wasn’t a comment about FFDP overall. I was just saying (without listening) there’s just no way that particular combo works. I can’t imagine what they were thinking. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can’t imagine what they were thinking. There a daft metal band, they were thinking 'this is a good idea'...... what they do is not the most sophisticated thing on the planet, but as said they're bloody good at what they do. At the risk of falling into a completely off topic debate about the state of 'big league' rock and metal; the idea that FFDP could headline (they recently appeared to self-confirm as next years headliners) the UK's biggest metal festival before Lamb of God/Ghost/Architects/BMTH or a number of other metal bands astounds me, as I said though wank off enough Iron Maiden fans and you can play where you want on the metal and rock scene.....
