Local Metal Video Showcase!!

I'm back with a new post! Felt a bit odd not having enough for a new post last night, but today, we have some good stuff to share, all of which comes from new videos! I have four newly found videos with a local metal/hard rock relevance to share today, so let's see what's new on YouTube!

Firstly, we have yet another video from last month's Kiss show at The Essar Center! This comes courtesy of YouTube user shledge, who uploaded their video of Kiss playing "Detroit Rock City" at the show onto their YouTube channel! "Detroit Rock City" sure seems to be a popular choice for videos from the concert, and it's a great song, so I can see why! Honestly, this is one of the better videos from the Kiss show that we've seen, the audio's clear, and the video's shot a close angle in a nice quality setting! I wonder if shledge got any more videos at the concert, cause this is definitely a standout clip from what we've seen so far! My only real complain about the video itself would be to center the camera on Gene, Paul, and Tommy more, cause we do get a lot more bare staging in frame than we really needed. Still, this is one of the best clips so far from the concert, so check it out below!



Second today is another concert clip, this time coming from Toronto-based Motley Crue tribute band Crued's show at The Canadian Nightclub from this past Saturday! This was uploaded onto drummer Ziggy's YouTube channel on Monday, and it's a 1:13 clip of the band playing "Livewire", or as he put it, "73 seconds of mayhem"! I really like their stage setup, and they definitely have the sound and look going, but we don't really get a lot of the song or band here. This is just the outro to the song, so we don't get to hear any singing or get a sense of how they pull off "Livewire" in full. Still, it's nice to see a video from the show, even if we don't get to hear too much of it. Oh well, I bet the show was awesome! Check the video out below!



Thirdly is one of two videos I've only just recently discovered on a local musician's YouTube channel! As It Stands drummer John Mignacca is on YouTube, and he has two videos there that I'd never seen until he subscribed to the SMS' channel! One is a commercial for As It Stands' show at The Oddfellows Hall on December 16th, 2006, which also featured Blind Witness, April Silenced, Foxfight, and The Love and Terror Cult. It features the show's poster and techno music, oddly. I wonder how the show went? Check out the commercial at this location! But the one I'm embedding here is newly discovered live footage from the lone public show played by Out Of The Mouth Of Babes (pictured), from February at Nite-Life Dance Club (now GLOW Nightclub once again) at that venue's portion of Algoma Hope4Haiti! It's just 1:50 long, and it went through the trial version of Digital Media Converter Pro, so there is some text stamped on the video due to that, but try and ignore it. Quality's alright, and it was a good show, though some of the audio can be hard to make out. Still, check it out below, cause it gives one of the few video glimpses into Out Of The Mouth Of Babes, who filled the gap during As It Stands' breakup well! Also, get more from John's channel at this location!



And finally, here's two jam videos you guys might be interested in seeing! These were uploaded onto Integrated System of Machines keyboardist Craig "Tubesock" Harrison's YouTube channel on Sunday and Tuesday each. The one uploaded on Sunday is a jam session video involving Craig's I.S.O.M. bandmates Steve "Sven Gilesten" Giles (pictured) on guitar and Bart "Black Trab" Rennels on drums! Well, I assume they're the Steve and Bart mentioned in the video's title, my assumption makes sense. It was uploaded from Craig's phone, so there's no additional details on it, but they sound good in this clip, I like the riffing especially! Check it out by clicking here! The other, which I'm embedding below, features Steve and his brother Greg (you'll recognize both from End of Existence, more on them soon), and it also sounds good! The drums stand out more on this one, and the music just seems to go a bit heavier and faster, and for longer time too! Good stuff, regardless of if it leads to more I.S.O.M. news or not! Check the videos out at the above links, and the jam clip from both of the Giles brothers immediately below!



That's all for today, but stay tuned to The Sault Metal Scene tomorrow for previews of this weekend's scheduled metal concerts, and more! Honestly, news is slowing a bit lately, but that hasn't stopped us before, and things are bound to get real busy real soon, so be on the lookout! Thanks everyone!
