10 Cash Box/February 8, 198( B4ST CQ4STINGS Paul lorio, Neiv York Cover Story \ HEAVY METAL . . . SERIOUSLY — Heavy metal became a potentially imaginative musical form the day Jimmy Page added that extra note at the beginning of “Heartbreaker.” Today, metal stands as one of the prime,

if one of the unlikeliest, sources of rock ‘n roll revitalization. It started with last summer’s Senate hearings on music lyrics, which inadvertently gave metalists like Dee Snider and Biackie Lawiess cutting-edge cachet in the rock world. This Is Spinal Tap’s bullseye parody also contributed

to this change; the film’s satire was so affectionate that it wound up romanticizing the genre. Suddenly you get Andy Warhoi attending parties for Ratt, Danny Fieids publishing a literate metal fanzine, and bands like the Stormtroopers of Death giving punk a run for its outrage. Con-

sequently it came as little surprise when Dee Snider announced dur- ing Twisted Sister’s Radio City show Jan. 24 that bassist Mark “The Animal’’ Mendoza would be jamming with The Dictators at their reunion show later that night. Metal meets punk? When Twisted opened with their hardcoreish “Come Out And Play” (Atlantic) one saw the line between punk and metal virtually vanish. And TS isn’t even the best example of this link. East Coastings agrees with Circie Jerks vocalist Keith Morris when he says; “The bridge between punk and heavy metal would be speed metal bands like Metaiiica, Megadeth, Exodus and Slayer. Motorhead’s the prime example.” Still, TS’s urban brand of hard rock comes close to replicating the fever of such ’65 punks as The Who (“We’re Not Gonna Take It”), and such ’75 punks The Bangles Want To Be as The Ramones (“Come Out And Play”), while making good on their stance by giving the finger to the PMRC (“Can’t Stop Rock ‘n Roll”). Seen In A ‘Different Light’ Snider’s joie-de-metal puts TS near the top of the metal pile and promises even better things to come.

The second half of the book becomes something of a travelogue —- a then-we-went-here, then-we-did-this account, all neatly laid out

chronologically. Looking for side-splitting road anecdotes? Forget it. EXPLOSION — Paquito D’RIvera ~ Columbia FC 40156 — Producers: Helen Keane, Looking for some insight into the bandmembers: Lester Young, Billie Paquito D’Rivera, Ron Saint Germain — List: 8.98 — Bar Coded Holiday, Jo Jones, Freddie Green, et al? Look elsewhere. When Zwerin The fiery cubop alto saxophonist in an album featuring both big band and lush asked Basie what Lester Young was like when the two first met, Basie string settings. A successful blend of bebop and salsa, romanticism and grittiness, replied, “The same as always. Lester never changed.” Much more is not fusion and straight-ahead, heat and ice. Solid arrangements (by Paquito and pianist revealed here: the sly, button-lipped Count Basie was not about to Michel Camilo), good solos, and nicely-turned compositions (Paquito’s “The Lady unbutton for his autobiography. When it comes to the personal lives of and the Tramp” is a standout). A good one. Count Basie and his associates, the old fox leaves few stones turned. ROADHOUSE SYMPHONY — Hartk Crawford — Milestone M-9140 — Producer: “If this book turns out to be a little like a fairy tale, that’s all right with Bob Porter — List: 8.98 — Bar Coded me too,” writes Count Basie in the preface to Good Morning Blues.

The next best thing to listening to this kind of reeking of perfumed insincerity (Duke Ellington’s Music Is My Mistress, stuff in a sweaty joint, cold beer firmly in hand. “Roadhouse Symphony” indeed. for example). Count Basie lays down his tale the same way he played A ROCKIN’ GOOD WAY — Arthur Prysock — Milestone M-9139 — Producer: Bob piano — if it doesn’t fit, leave it out.
