Lets take a moment to recognize the country & metal connection

I love any excuse to talk country music on this thing.  Well, today Mr. Rascist David Allan Coe turns the big 7-0.  For the most part he is famous for singing and writing a ton of country hits, but in the world of metal he made a splash with Rebel Meets Rebel.  The band name is almost tooo perfect, since it was the joining of the guys from Pantera (Rex, Vinnie and Dime) with David Allan Coe for some real southern friend metal.  Good stuff.

Country/Metal connections

I'm in a country kick lately since I have the Hank III and Lucky Tubb concert tonight.  Gotta love that shit.  Hank III is basically metal though, so this isn't completely irrelevant.  His band, Assjack, is punk metal, and he also was the bassist in Superjoint Ritual which is so metal that those guys would rust if they stood in the rain.  They were fronted by little Philly Anselmo and the band name was knicked from a line in a Darkthrone song.  Rust, people, rust!

Not mention he sang on a Rebel Meets Rebel song, which is the other guys in Pantera with David Allen Coe on vocals.  Country and metal make sweet love in that band.

I linked every band in this post because they are all worthy!!!   If you dont know Pantera by now though, then you should probably kill yourself.

Rebel Meets Rebel........  check the badass-ness of David Allan Coe singing to Dimebags thrashin.
