Metal Sludge Gossip Board

When I first heard "Talk Dirty To Me" on the radio I thought it was Black n' Blue. Cut me some slack I was only 12 at the time

What about you guys?

I dig Heaven's Edge (no way out) and was very surprised to find out it was Tesla. Had no clue who it might have been, but definitely dig the tune

I thought "Killing in the Name of" was the Beastie Boys.

First time I heard Head East's "Never Been Any Reason," I though it was Bachman-Turner Overdrive.

First time I heard Sweet's "Love Is Like Oxygen," I thought it was Sugarloaf.

First time I heard Glass Tiger, I though it was Simple Minds.

First time I heard later-period April Wine, I thought it was Aldo Nova.

First time I heard 90s Alice Cooper, I thought it was Garbage.

The first time I heard the Annihilator song Phoenix Rising I thought it was Saigon Kick.

This just came up with my wife. Rock me Gently played on the radio and I said..man Neil Diamond has some great songs. She looked at me with as much disappointment as I have ever seen.

Stuck In The Middle - Bob Dylan

First time I heard Against the Empire by Malice I was sure it was Judas Priest.

First time I heard Fight or Fall by Riot I thought it was Stryper.

First time I heard VH3 I thought it was Utter Crap.

I just learned something new today

First tiem I heard Queensrhyche I thought it was Iron Maiden. I think the song was The Lady Wore Black. Bruce Dickinson was the only guy I had heard who sang anything like that before.

I thought Edge of Seventeen was sung by Fleetwood Mac. I only found out a month ago that I was wrong.

I didn’t realize “automatic” was the pointer sisters

I thought Your Love - The Outfield was The Police or Sting.

Thought "Long Cool Woman in a Black Dress" was CCR, "I can Help" was Ringo (he covered it later), and I thought "I've Seen All Good People" and "Suite Judy Blue Eyes" were by the same band.

When I was a kid I thought America’s “Horse With No Name” was Neil Young.

Up until a couple of years ago, I always thought that the Tommy Tutone song "Jenny 8675309" was the Greg Kihn Band.

When I fist heard them, I thought "And Fools Shine On" was Soundgarden and "That Don't Satisfy Me" was the Black Crowes.

Both are by Brother Cane.

First time I heard Helmet - Unsung, I thought it was Ozzy.

When I first heard Milli Vanilli I thought it was Milli Vanilli

WAIT WHAT?

Holy shit. WHAT THE FUCK. I have never had less doubt about anything else that didn't involve the faithfulness of a woman.

Okay, add that one to my list.

Holy shit. That's so on point.

I always thought this was Bowie

Edwyn Collins - A Girl Like You
https://youtu.be/6oqJ0JpMj6I?si=ATh-vRBSk368h0xd

Used to think this was Mick Jagger

Lee Michaels - Do You Know What I Mean
https://youtu.be/6oqJ0JpMj6I?si=ATh-vRBSk368h0xd

When I first heard Paul McCartney Coming Up I thought it was talking heads.

I don't know if this counts, but when I first heard Coverdale/Page I thought Jimmy Page must be the singer in Led Zeppelin because the singer sounded so much like Robert Plant to me.

When l was kid l always thought “The Boys Are Back In Town” was a KISS song. I didn’t know other bands could have that big sound.
