And hey, thanks to the hundreds upon hundreds of you crazy metalheads who sweated bullets, pounded the table, pounded back beers and after all was said and drunk, sent in lists. I could tell most of you put a lot of thought into this, given the intro and outro pontifications, as well as the vast number of usually quite profound mini-reviews many of you stuck in to support your entries, as well as the many overflowing honourable mentions. They made for great reading and more than a few hearty laughs. Thanks again for hailing the heavies...
Once again, thanks go to my father, Harry Popoff, for cranking up the machinery yet again, and happily diving into the task at hand after compiling, sifting and sorting 4500 songs for the songs book from last year. This time he had to perform the same database functions for full albums fortunately, about half as many different albums, but unfortunately, about 30% more poll results! Once more, thanks Dad for doing all this. I hope that at least some of yours and moms work ethic and wisdom gained has rubbed off on me.
Most of the artist quotes throughout this book are from interviews I have personally conducted with the rock dude concerned. I wanted these quotes as fresh as possible and I wanted them to come from my archives. Its a point of pride.
However, my deepest appreciation goes out to two buds, for kind permission to snag a few from their chats with rock stars:
Drew Masters, through his legendary M.E.A.T. magazine was an essential Torontonian and Canadian source of international metal info from the late 80s into the mid-90s. One of the things that was fascinating to me in flipping through the legacy was how deeply he felt about trumpeting the plight of homegrown independent acts, dozens upon dozens of hopefuls getting their most treasured encouragement in the pages of M.E.A.T. Drew was, in fact, one of my biggest influences in terms of getting me into this rock journalism business in the first place. Heavy hails are in order. Drew can be reached at drewmasters@sympatico.ca.
When Drew moved on, one of his staffers, Tim Henderson, started up Brave Words & Bloody Knuckles , a decade later recognized as one of the top metal mags in the world, with a website (www.bravewords.com) that is also award-winning. Through his many efforts, Tim is probably the single most influential promoter of metal in the world today. Hails to Tim and his staffers who, like Drew, have also been so kind as to let me snag a few quotes from their interviews with some of these longhairs and bald guys.
And finally, thanks to my families for the understanding and patience in letting me do this crap for a living: Beth and Trevor; Mom, Dad, Brad; my large, extended family to the east! Thank you all.
Now class, to begin, I dont want to refer to it too much, but as some of you might know, last year we went through this whole exercise with a similar aim in mind, to ascertain with abstract Platonic ideal certainty, and through statistical democracy, what the top 500 heavy metal SONGS of all time might be a matter of great importance, to be sure. Done deal, and it was a blast doing it... maybe not for you faithful chromium steel soldiers who had to sweat the lists, but for me, twas very cool gathering the quotes, shooting my mouth off, commenting on all these silly anthems to which we pledge power-chord allegiance.
