"Nimue" - an Arthurian Heavy Metal Song, by Yours Truly

Me, via YouTube (as Hopalong Ginsberg) ^ | 5/22/15 | Me, as "Hopalong Ginsberg"

[Slings and Arrows]

Having conquered the genre of Jewish heavy metal, I now move on to Arthurian heavy metal, and I'm not talking about plate armo(u)r.

For those of you not familiar with my work (i.e., the entire world minus maybe a dozen people), for the moment I write music under the name Hopalong Ginsberg. In the future I hope to write it under a cute redhead.

I don’t mean to be rude.

But if you’re a guitar player you’ve got to know Adrian Belew.

He wrote the book.

Pure genius.

Studio stuff.

Solo.

Plays every instrument.

I have indeed heard of Adrian Belew, and thank you for the videos - “Big Electric Cat” is the kind of thing I can get behind.

FWIW, I consider myself a lyricist far more than a composer or producer, but I am always happy to improve my skills in the latter two areas.

[Slings and Arrows]

Now I’m thinking of Jethro Tull, although they are more Renaissance hard rock than Arthurian heavy metal.

Late Reformation Period, actually, as they lifted large chunks of Bach!

A bach-breaking job for a rocker.

[Slings and Arrows]

I stand corrected, and baaaaad pun.

Bad musical puns are my biggest sin. I fret about it constantly.

[Slings and Arrows]

A minor sin, but you are diminished in my eyes.

[left that other site]

Uh oh. Now I am in big treble!

[Slings and Arrows]

:^) If you’re listening to Rush it’s even worse.

[Liberty Valance]

Ha! Good tune by the way.

[Slings and Arrows]

Thanks!
