Okay, I was having this conversation with my fiancee over the weekend. We were at a wedding in which the wedding party's entrance music was a hard rock song by some band called Skillet. She said to me that this was a possibility for me to have a metal song in our wedding. I immediately suggested Cannibal Corpse's "I Cum Blood" but that was rejected, so I am turning to you, my readers for suggestions for an appropriate song for the wedding party entrance. She hates thrash metal with a burning passion and would prefer no black or death. I have some ideas, but would like to see suggestions.
Have at it and thanks in advance.
Well, you could go with Nightwish. That's some pretty accessible stuff for most people.
ReplyDeleteOK, I put the word "love" into my iTunes and came up with a few. There's Black Sabbath's "Dying for Love" (from Cross Purposes). It's a very bluesy song though, and not exactly upbeat. There's also "No Stranger to Love" from the Tony Iommi album (sold as a Sabbath album) Seventh Star. It's not very upbeat either, though. I don't think you want the Bleeding Through tracks . . . . There's "The Death of Love" by Cradle of Filth (Godspeed on the Devil's Thunder), "Infralove" by Diablo Swing Orchestra (The Butcher's Ballroom), or, perhaps "Love You to Death" by Type O Negative (October Rust). And there is also "Love's Intolerable Pain" from My Dying Bride (A Line of Deathless Kings).
My option would be to go with Motörhead--there's "Love Me Like a Reptile" (Ace of Spades), which is, I think, the best option I found.
I considered Nightwish and other bands from that vein (Leaves' Eyes, etc.). I still am not clear on the meaning of loving someone like a reptile.
ReplyDeleteThat cracked me up. I wasn't sure either, so here are the lyrics:
ReplyDeleteKnew I had to bite you baby when I first laid eyes on you,
That moment turned me on, I can't believe it's true,
And I like to watch your body sway,
I got no choice, I'm gonna twist your tail,
Love Me Like A Reptile, I'm gonna sink my fangs in you
Thunder lizard, stony eye, you got me hypnotised,
Hot tongue breaks in and out and I can't believe my eyes,
And your soft white belly, next to mine,
Scaly baby, see you shine,
Love Me Like A Reptile, you're murder in disguise,
Black mamba, murderer disguised
Baby you're a rattlesnake, you know the way I feel,
Feel you crawling up my back, you've got no love to steal,
You know I've got my eyes on you,
You're petrified, gonna stick like glue,
Love Me Like A Reptile, shock you like an electric eel
I'm gonna go out on a limb and say 'no' to Love Me Like A Reptile and any love songs having to do with death or dying... Something tells me those are not the best options for a wedding. You know, hopefully a HAPPY event that will be attended by our grandparents!
ReplyDeleteLove Me Like a Reptile is a happy song!
ReplyDeleteOK, let's go NWOBHM. How about Iron Maiden's "Hooks In You", "Tailgunner", or "Flight of Icarus"?
"The Maiden and the Minstrel Knight" from "A Night at the Opera" by Blind Guardian might work.
