And i love the live versions as well  |
Actually, you know what? Age really has nothing to do with that. I don't even know why I said that.
I listen to Orgasmatron (Motorhead) and the original album "Black Sabbath" just fine, in fact I'll put the entire catalog of Dio, Rainbow, Sabbath or Motorhead on and I enjoy different aspects of both the newer and older stuff.
I fell in love with Meat after hearing CHISB and MSO...That is my first impression of all of those songs.
So what it comes down to is that I honestly don't think I have given Bat 1 and Bat 2 much of a chance on their own. (Similar to what some are doing with Braver Than We Are).
I've got to do that one day. Just try to erase all of the other versions I "grew up on" and try the originals.
It's hard with Meat though...Harder for me than it was to open up to older Motorhead or Sabbath...
Reminds me of Star Trek. I worked my way back to watching as old as TNG, but I can't watch the TOS...It bothers me. Some things just don't age well, like the original Doctor Who series. I just can't watch it...I think sometimes you just have to grow up with it to still want to watch it. I grew up with my dad watching TNG...I can't say that that's my issue with Bat 1 or Bat 2 though. They have aged well. They're kind of timeless.
There's just a blocker there. I'd love to investigate further one day. I probably will.
